Mercury evidence for combustion of organic-rich sediments during the end-Triassic crisis

Mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopes from a deep-ocean Triassic–Jurassic (~201 Ma) boundary section provide evidence of large inputs from terrestrial organic-rich sources through combustion by magmatic sills and wildfires.
