Protracted carbon burial following the Early Jurassic Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (Posidonia Shale, Lower Saxony Basin, Germany) by Celestino, RFS, Ruhl, M, Dickson, AJ, Idiz, E, Jenkyns, HC, Leng, MJ, Mattioli, E, Minisini, D, Hesselbo, SP

“…Here, we present stratigraphic (carbon-isotope, Rock–Eval, calcareous nannofossil) data from the upper Pliensbachian and lower Toarcian strata from a core drilled on the northern flank of the Lower Saxony Basin, north–west Germany. The bio- and chemostratigraphic framework presented demonstrates that (i) the rock record of the T-OAE at the studied locality registered highly condensed sedimentation and/or multiple hiatuses and (ii) the deposition of organic-rich black shale extended significantly beyond the level of the T-OAE, thereby contrasting with well-studied sections of the Posidonia Shale in southern Germany but showing similarities with geographically nearby basins such as the Paris Basin (France). …”
