The rhythmic expression of mid-Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 southwest of Australia (IODP U1513, U1516)
International audience The widespread deposition of organic-rich black shales during the mid-Cretaceous hothouse at ~94 Mamarked a climatic extreme that is particularly well studied in the Northern Hemisphere. The expression ofOceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE 2) in the NH was characterised by low oceanic...
