Carbon cycle changes during the end-Marjuman (Cambrian) extinction in the Southern Appalachians

Carbon cycle changes during the end-Marjuman (Cambrian) extinction in the Southern Appalachians

The late Cambrian-early Ordovician transition contains several trilobite extinctions. The first of these extinctions (the end-Marjuman) is thought to coincide with the Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion or SPICE, a large and rapid excursion in the marine carbon isotope record. This excursio...
