Massive release of predominantly magmatic carbon drove an Early Jurassic hyperthermal

The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE, ~183 Ma) was a major hyperthermal event in the Phanerozoic, characterised by massive carbon release and widespread organic carbon burial. However, the source(s), flux, and sequestration pathways of carbon remain uncertain. Here, we assimilate globally representative carbon...
