Bioevents and redox conditions around the Cenomanian-Turonian anoxic event in Central Mexico
The Xilitla section of central Mexico (western margin of the proto-North Atlantic) is characterized by pelagic sediments enriched in marine organic matter. Using biostratigraphic and radiometric data, it was dated at the latest Cenomanian-earliest Turonian transition. We identified an interval coeva...

Summary: | The Xilitla section of central Mexico (western margin of the proto-North Atlantic) is characterized by pelagic sediments enriched in marine organic matter. Using biostratigraphic and radiometric data, it was dated at the latest Cenomanian-earliest Turonian transition. We identified an interval coeval with the faunal turnover associated with the Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE 2), recording the Heterohelix shift and the Peer Reviewed Preprint |
