The Upper Jurassic of two basins in southern South America and the Antarctic Peninsula is characterized by blackshale/mudstone-dominated marine successions with interbedded tuff beds milimetric to decimetric thick. Anoxicenvironment precluded bioturbation and sediment mixing, and favoured organic ma...
