Climate and environmental response to the break-up of Pangea during the Early Jurassic (Hettangian-Pliensbachian); the Dorset coast (UK) revisited

Between the end-Triassic mass extinction and the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event, the Early Jurassic witnessed important changes in carbon burial, palaeogeography and paleoceanography, which were linked to the initial breakup of Pangaea. In order to better understand the climate and environmental impact of this phase of major tectonic rearrangement we revisited a key section along the Dorset coast (UK) and used a multi-proxy geochemical approach...
