The Ireviken carbon isotope excursion (CIE) was a large-magnitude positive shift in δ13C values that is recorded in early Silurian (~432 Ma; Llandovery-Wenlock boundary) strata globally. Associated with this CIE is a marine mass extinction, the Ireviken Event (murchisoni Event in graptolites), durin...
