Özet

The Cenomanian/Turonian oceanic anoxic event as recorded in many parts of the world is characterized by presence of black shales and global carbon isotope peaks. Cyclic variations within the anoxic event and association with pelagic red beds are indicated by many studies. Global tectonic/volcanic controls on the origin and the chronostratigraphic position of the anoxic event within the global sea-level changes are important for understanding the paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic conditions during the deposition of Cenomanian/Turonian sediments.
