Abstract
ABSTRACT An Indicator of Anoxicity (IA), defined as the ratio (Pyrite Fe + Oxide Fe)/Total Fe, can be used to recognize sediments deposited under an anoxic water column. Modern marine sediments deposited under oxygenated bottom waters mainly have IA values 0.5. IA values in the central Kimmeridge Clay (Upper Jurassic, UK) for fissile, organic-rich shales indicate that deposition occurred principally from anoxic bottom waters with infrequent oxygenation events.
