Size and abundance variations of Schizosphaerella across the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event in the Sogno Core (Lombardy Basin, Southern Alps)
Abundance and size variations of nannofossil Schizosphaerella punctulata were quantified in the uppermost Pliensbachian–Lower Toarcian succession recovered with the Sogno Core (Lombardy Basin, Northern Italy). High-resolution nannofossil biostratigraphy and C-isotopic chemostratigraphy identified th...
