The Carnian stage is characterised by one of the most severe intra-Triassic ecological crisis affecting marine and epicontinental biota on a global scale. The so-called Carnian Crisis is defined by a major gap in carbonate productivity followed by a marking rise of siliciclastic influx that was shed across terrestrial and shallow marine environments. What can explain the widespread ecological incisions? Was it a single sedimentary incident or a chain of events which were unleashed by a dramatic climate shift? Based on detailed multistratigraphic studies drawn on 20 selected sections...
