Volcanism and deep-ocean acidification across the end-Triassic extinction event

The end-Triassic extinction event marks one of the “big five” mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic. The ultimate cause of the extinction is considered to be volcanic activity at the Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP), yet the underlying nature of global environmental changes that accompa...

description The end-Triassic extinction event marks one of the “big five” mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic. The ultimate cause of the extinction is considered to be volcanic activity at the Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP), yet the underlying nature of global environmental changes that accompanied the biotic turnover remains elusive. Here we present chemical and mineralogical studies across the end-Triassic extinction level of the deep-sea chert sequence (Inuyama, Japan). Depleted hematite content normalized by terrigenous material predated the end-Triassic extinction level with significant rock color change from brick red to purple, which is consistent with the rock magnetic records of hematite reported. This suggests the loss of authigenic hematite possibly due to the acidification of bottom-water and the underlying sediment pore-water. This timing is consistent with the initial eruption of CAMP volcanism, suggesting a catastrophic release of greenhouse gases as a cause of deep-ocean acidification. Across the end-Triassic extinction interval, MgO/Al2O3, Fe2O3/Al2O3, and Al2O3/SiO2 increased with change in color from purple to dusty red. This trend became close to those of weathered CAMP basalts in arid area, implying that it became the considerable source of aeolian dust in cherts after the end-Triassic extinction event. These temporal relations support the synchrony among the initial eruption of CAMP, deep-ocean acidification, and the end-Triassic extinction. Similar rock color changes of cherts might have potential information for the volcanisms and deep-ocean acidification in other geologic events. [Display omitted] •We performed XAFS for chert across the end-Triassic extinction.•Hematite-poor purple chert reflects deep-ocean acidification.•Dusty red cherts imply the increased dust input of CAMP basalt origin.•Purple and dusty red cherts reflect acidification and volcanism, respectively.
