Journal ArticleDOI
The astronomical rhythm of Late-Devonian climate change (Kowala section, Holy Cross Mountains, Poland)
David De Vleeschouwer,Michał Rakociński,Grzegorz Racki,David P.G. Bond,Katarzyna Sobień,Philippe Claeys +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cyclostratigraphic floating time-scale for the Frasnian-Famennian sequence of the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland is presented, and the interpretation of observed lithological rhythms as eccentricity cycles is confirmed by amplitude modulation patterns in agreement with astronomical theory and by recognition of precession cycles in high resolution stable isotope records.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deciphering the upper Famennian Hangenberg Black Shale depositional environments based on multi-proxy record
Leszek Marynowski,Michał Zatoń,Michał Rakociński,Paweł Filipiak,Slawomir Kurkiewicz,T.J. Pearce +5 more
TL;DR: A detailed multi-proxy investigation conducted on the Hangenberg Black Shale (HBS) from the Polish part of the Laurussian Shelf, which provides details about the environmental conditions in existence during deposition of the shale and the role played by anoxic conditions in the mass extinction events that occurred at the end of the Devonian times as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury enrichments and the Frasnian-Famennian biotic crisis: A volcanic trigger proved?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report multiple Hg enrichments in the two-step late Frasnian (Kellwasser) crisis interval from paleogeographically distant successions in Morocco, Germany, and northern Russia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of weathering on organic matter: I. Changes in molecular composition of extractable organic compounds caused by paleoweathering of a Lower Carboniferous (Tournaisian) marine black shale
Leszek Marynowski,Slawomir Kurkiewicz,Michał Rakociński,Bernd R.T. Simoneit,Bernd R.T. Simoneit +4 more
TL;DR: A detailed bulk and molecular study on paleoweathering of a Lower Carboniferous (Tournaisian) black shale from the Kowala quarry in the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland, revealed significant changes in total organic carbon (TOC), total sulfur (TS) and extract compositions as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-precision U–Pb age and duration of the latest Devonian (Famennian) Hangenberg event, and its implications
Paul M. Myrow,Jahandar Ramezani,Anne E. Hanson,Samuel A. Bowring,Grzegorz Racki,Michał Rakociński +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, U-Pb zircon dates from three volcanic ash beds that bracket the Hangenberg Shale in the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, constrain the age and duration of one of the most significant palaeobiological events of the Palaeozoic Era.
