Fluctuation of organic carbon isotopes of the Lower Cretaceous in coastal southeastern China: Terrestrial response to the Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAE1b)
چکیده انگلیسی


• We find five continental Aptian–Albian δ13Corg negative excursions in SE China.
• The five events have similar stratigraphic carbon isotopic trends.
• The SI–SIII and CI–CIII events are most likely caused by global factors.
• These events may be terrestrial responses to the OAE1b.

Whether there are terrestrial responses to the Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) remain enigmatic. In this paper, we report a case study in the Lower Cretaceous continental and transitional sequences of coastal southeastern China. It may represent the first late Aptian to Albian terrestrial carbon isotope record from China. Several organic-rich black shale and grayish black mudstone horizons were found to develop widely in the coastal southeastern China during the period from 113 ± 3 Ma to 99 ± 3 Ma, when the Cretaceous OAEs were recorded primarily in marine sequences. Organic carbon isotope (δ13Corg), total organic carbon (TOC), and total nitrogen (TN) were analyzed for the black shales from two sections, i.e., the Shipu transitional and Chong'an continental sections. Five negative δ13Corg excursions can be recognized for both the sections, termed as SI–SV and CI–CV events for the Shipu (S) and Chong'an (C) sections, respectively. Correlations between δ13Corg, TOC and N/C ratio suggest that the SI–SIII and CI–CIII events might have been caused by global factors, i.e., the OAE1b event based on analogs to typical OAE1b reported in the Tethyan and Pacific basins. They archived the terrestrial carbon isotope response to the OAE1b accompanied with a disturbance of carbon isotope in carbon reservoir of the global ocean–atmosphere system under a warm and humid climate.
