- Abstract:
- Changes in global carbon pools and changes in palaeoredox will be investigated across a new Triassic-Jurassic boundary section. Delta 13C analysis and U/Th geochemistry will be combined with sedimentology, faunal range data, sediment geochemistry and framboid size analysis to reconstruct events at this interval and assess different models for mass extinction at this time.
