Reply to the comment on “New insights in the pattern and timing of the Early Jurassic calcareous nannofossil crisis” by M. Clémence, S. Gardin, S. A. Bartolini [Palaeogeography Palaeoclimatology Palaeoecology 427 (2015) 100-108]

The T-OAE corresponds to a time of enhanced organic matter deposition but, at the same time, this does not necessarily correspond with an efficient biological pum, especially during the decreasing values of the CIE, when OM accumulation was favoured by preservation rather than by enhanced OM flux to the sea-floor.
