The early Toarcian biotic crisis (∼ 183 Ma), characterized in marine environments by abrupt
temperature fluctuations, included a hyperthermal event (Jenkyns Event) with sea-level …

Abstract The Early Jurassic Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE, ca. 183 Ma) was
accompanied by a major biotic turnover in the oceans and substantial vegetation change on …

Major extinction events appear coincident with the emplacement of large igneous provinces
(LIPs) throughout Earth's past, but the cause-and-effect relationship is often poorly …

Environmental changes governed the diversity of marine ecosystems and the evolution of
marine reptiles during the Jurassic. Abrupt climatic changes, mainly cooling, produced …

The flooding of the Pliensbachian shelf of the North-South Axis of Central Tunisia during the
early Toarcian favoured the development of organic-rich facies in the most subsiding areas …

Mesozoic continental basins of northern China, including the Junggar Basin, provide some
of the most spectacular and important fossil assemblages in the world, but their climatic and …

The Early Jurassic was primarily a greenhouse phase in Earth's history. Previous studies
have predominantly focused on marine strata in the Tethyan Ocean, but continental records …

Much of our view on Mesozoic dinosaur diversity is obscured by biases in the fossil record.
In particular, spatiotemporal sampling heterogeneity affects identification of the timing and …

A fundamental question in dinosaur evolution is how they adapted to long-term climatic
shifts during the Mesozoic and when they developed environmentally independent, avian …

Abstract The Early Jurassic Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event T-OAE) was
an episode of global warming and C-cycle perturbation that affected both marine and …
