Correlation of stratigraphic sections from different continents suggests a worldwide interruption of carbonate sedimentation at the Triassic–Jurassic boundary, which coincided with one of the most catastrophic mass extinctions in the Phanerozoic. Both events are linked by a vulcanogenic maximum of carbon dioxide, which led to a temporary undersaturation of sea water with respect to aragonite and calcite and a corresponding suppression of carbonate sedimentation including non-preservation of… Expand

Additive effects of acidification and mineralogy on calcium isotopes in Triassic/Jurassic boundary limestones
The end-Triassic mass extinction coincided with a negative δ13C excursion, consistent with release of 13C-depleted CO2 from the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province. However, the amount of carbon… Expand
A subseafloor carbonate factory across the Triassic-Jurassic transition
Triassic-Jurassic (T-J) boundary successions record a paucity of carbonate in association with the mass extinction. Here we demonstrate that three globally disparate T-J sections contain… Expand
End-Triassic calcification crisis and blooms of organic-walled 'disaster species'
The Triassic–Jurassic (T–J) mass-extinction event is marked by isotope anomalies in organic (δ 13 Corg) and carbonate carbon (δ 13 Ccarb) reservoirs. These have been attributed to a (rapid) 4-fold… Expand
Multiple phases of carbon cycle disturbance from large igneous province formation at the Triassic-Jurassic transition
The end-Triassic mass extinction (ca. 201.4 Ma) coincided with a major carbon cycle perturbation, based on an ∼5‰−6‰ negative excursion in δ 13 C TOC (total organic carbon) records. Both events… Expand
The Triassic–Jurassic boundary event from an equatorial carbonate platform (Ghalilah Formation, United Arab Emirates)
The Ghalilah Formation, UAE provides a complete and continuous equatorial shallow-water carbonate sequence through the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic interval. In higher latitudes, this interval is… Expand
Carbon cycle changes during the Triassic-Jurassic transition
The end-Triassic is regarded as one of the five major mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic. This time interval is marked by up to 50% of marine biodiversity loss and major changes in terrestrial… Expand
Terrestrial Impacts of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province on western Pangea
Earth’s climate is predominantly controlled by the fluctuation of greenhouse gases, specifically CO2 and CH4, over geologic time. The late Triassic is a period of abrupt climate change that has been… Expand
The end-Triassic negative δ13C excursion: A lithologic test
Abstract The end-Triassic mass extinction is associated with a large negative carbon isotope excursion, which has been interpreted as reflecting the rapid injection of 13 C depleted CO 2 or methane… Expand
Bentho-planktonic evidence from the Austrian Alps for a decline in sea-surface carbonate production at the end of the Triassic
A high-resolution micropalaeontological study, combined with geochemical and sedimentological analyses was performed on the Tiefengraben, Schlossgraben and Eiberg sections (Austrian Alps) in order to… Expand
The Late Triassic Mass Extinction Event
The Late Triassic extinction event is recognized as one of the five largest such events of the Phanerozoic and is now generally believed to have been caused by global warming and concomitant… Expand

A Late Triassic Impact Ejecta Layer in Southwestern Britain
TLDR
An important sedimentary record of an extraterrestrial impact in the Mesozoic that will help to decipher the number and effect of impact events, the source and dynamics of the event that left this distinctive sedimentary marker, and the relation of this ejecta layer to the timing of extinctions in the fossil record are reported.

Palaeoclimatology (Communication arising): CO2 and the end-Triassic mass extinction
TLDR
An isotopic study of Mesozoic fossil soils suggests that the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary was relatively constant, but this is inconsistent with high-resolution evidence from the stomatal characters of fossil leaves, which suggest the linkage between pCO2, global warming and the end-Triassic mass extinction remains intact.
