Mercury evidence for combustion of organic-rich sediments during the end-Triassic crisis

J. Shen, R. Yin, et al.

This groundbreaking research conducted by Jun Shen, Runsheng Yin, Thomas J. Algeo, Henrik H. Svensen, and Shane D. Schoepfer investigates the intriguing sources of isotopically light carbon released during the end-Triassic mass extinction. Utilizing mercury concentrations and isotopes from a pelagic Triassic-Jurassic boundary section in Japan, the study uncovers significant environmental perturbations linked to ancient organic matter combustion, drawing parallels to modern fossil fuel combustion.
