Sensitivity of biomarker properties to depositional environment and/or source input in the Lower
Toarcian of SW-Germany.
New information on Hauffiosaurus (Reptilia, Plesiosauria) based on a new species from the Alum Shale Member (lower
Toarcian: Lower Jurassic) of Yorkshire, UK, Palaeontology.
For this study, an international team of scientists set out to better understand today's oxygen-deprived oceans by investigating the
Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE), an interval of global oceanic deoxygenation characterised by a mass extinction of marine organisms that occurred in the Early Jurassic Period.
Handlirsch [10] added 10 new species from the Upper Lias (
Toarcian) of Germany.

Toarcian shales," Organic Geochemistry, vol.
For this purpose, the Upper Sinemurian, Pliensbachian and Lower
Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) deposits of the Asturian Basin in northern Spain, including more than 100 m thick succession containing organic-rich and black shale deposits, have been studied.
A sixth core contains
Toarcian marine organisms from the Lower Jurassic, which opens a new window into the geology of the Herald Arch region.
Formation is considered to be of Early Jurassic as its overlying sediments (Shinawri Formation) have revealed characteristic Early
Toarcian Fauna [4].
