Abstract
Organic-rich black shales intercalated with green radiolarian shales and bentonites, 2.2 m thick, represent an equivalent of the Bonarelli Level in the Outer Carpathian deep-water succession. Carbon stable isotope data from four sections in the Outer Carpathians show that termination of organic-rich accumulation, [...] Read more.
Organic-rich black shales intercalated with green radiolarian shales and bentonites, 2.2 m thick, represent an equivalent of the Bonarelli Level in the Outer Carpathian deep-water succession. Carbon stable isotope data from four sections in the Outer Carpathians show that termination of organic-rich accumulation, related to the oceanic anoxic event 2 (OAE2), occurred at the same time in this part of the Western Tethys. The excellent marker of this event is a first horizon of Fe–Mn layer (nodules), a few centimeters thick, directly covering the youngest black shale layer of the Bonarelli-equivalent Level, which is regarded as the regional chronohorizon. The youngest succession of the organic-rich shales, ca. 30 cm thick, corresponds to the latest Cenomanian interval of δ13Corg values displaying a negative trend, which represents a terminal part within the OAE2 carbon isotope excursion. A deep negative shift which ends this falling trend, close to the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary in δ13C curves from many sections around the world, is not visible in the Outer Carpathian successions. The reason for this was the long period of stratigraphic condensation, which is reflected in the ferromanganese sediments of this area. Full article
