Biomarkers and stable isotopic compositions associated with sulfide-rich ancient deposits from mass extinction events

This PhD investigates past marine environment affected by ecological crises. Biomarkers and isotopic analyses were conducted in a Devonian-invertebrate and in Early-Triassic samples. Photic zone euxinic conditions and microbial activity are crucial for exceptional biomass preservation. Paradoxically...
