A global perturbation to the sulfur cycle during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event

The Mesozoic Era was punctuated by intervals of widespread anoxia within the ocean, termed oceanic anoxic events or OAEs. The chemostratigraphy of these intervals also contains evidence of transient perturbations to many biogeochemically important elemental cycles. Here we present high-resolution sulfur isotope data from three stratigraphic sections spanning the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE) of the Early Jurassic. All sections show a...
