Organic walled dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) assemblage data are presented for a new Turonian regional reference core (Bch-1) drilled at Běchary in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, east-central Czech Republic. The detailed stratigraphic framework for...

The Pliensbachian-Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction: A North American perspective. (2014)
Book Chapter
Caruthers, A., Smith, P., & Gröcke, D. (2014). The Pliensbachian-Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction: A North American perspective. In Volcanism, Impacts, and Mass Extinctions: Causes and Effects (225-243). Geological Society of America. https://doi.org/10.1130/2014.2505%2811%29

Currently, it is believed that volcanogenic outgassing of CO2 during Karoo-Ferrar igneous province eruptions caused prolonged global warming and a multiphased extinction event during the Pliensbachian–Toarcian interval of the Early Jurassic. Warmer w... Read More about The Pliensbachian-Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction: A North American perspective..

The late Pliensbachian–Toarcian (Jurassic) sedimentological, paleontological and geochemical (belemnite 87Sr/86Sr, δ13C and δ18O) record is examined in two Eastern Tethyan (Bulgarian) locations. This interval contains the well-known early Toarcian oc...

Recognising variations in the carbon isotope compositions of marine organic-rich sedimentary rocks can provide insight into changes in ocean chemistry throughout geological time. Further, identification of global excursions in the carbon isotope reco...

Turonian strata of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, Central Europe, preserve a basin-scale record of shoreline transgressions and regressions, previously interpreted to have been strongly influenced by short-term eustatic cycles. Here, nearshore silici... Read More about A high-resolution carbon-isotope record of the Turonian stage correlated to a siliciclastic basin fill: Implications for mid-Cretaceous sea-level change.
