Abstract

Normal marine deposition in the early Aptian was interrupted by an episode of ocean-wide dysoxia/anoxia. This event is recorded by the occurrence of organic carbon-rich sediments in land sections from Europe and Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP)/Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) sites in the North and South Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean Basins. To elucidate the origin, and spatial and temporal relationships of these carbonaceous sediments, we have conducted an integrated biostratigraphic, lithostratigraphic and geochemical investigation of fourteen sections from a range of geographic and oceanographic settings
