Multiple phases of carbon cycle disturbance from large igneous province formation at the Triassic-Jurassic transition

The end-Triassic mass extinction (ca. 201.4 Ma) coincided with a major carbon cycle perturbation, based on an ~5%‰-6%‰ negative excursion in δ13CTOC (total organic carbon) records. Both events coincided directly with the onset of massive flood basalt volcanism in the Central Atlantic Magmatic Provin...
