“…Matyja and A. Wierzbowski, unpublished data). Similar trends have been observed in other areas along the northern margin of the Tethys and Atlantic Ocean (Latium-Abruzzi platform of Italy: Bartolini et al 1996; some sections of Swiss Jura: Gygi et al 1998; Subalpine Basin of France : Elmi 1990; Lusitanian Basin, Portugal: Ellis et al 1990). Carbonate sedimentation rate increases also in Spain, although it was disrupted by siliciclastic inputs caused by local tectonics (Iberian Basin: Aurell and Meléndez 1993;Soria region: Pittet and Strasser 1998); thus, decrease in δ 13 C values in the upper Middle Oxfordian can be easily explained as the result of strengthening of the "carbonate carbon pump".…”

“…In addition, stratigraphic gaps commonly occur at the Upper Callovian and Lower Oxfordian boundary. The decrease in carbonate accumulation in the Lower and lower Middle Oxfordian has been observed in Poland in the investigated area of PJC and in the area of Holy Cross Mountains (Matyja et al 1989), in the Swiss Jura (Gygi et al 1998), Lazio-Abruzzi Platform and Umbria-Marche Basin of Central Italy (Bartolini et al 1996), Subalpine Basin of France (Elmi 1990), Iberian Basin (Aurell and Meléndez 1993) and Cazorla region of Spain (Pittet and Strasser 1998), Lusitanian Basin of Portugal (Ellis et al 1990) and even in the Neuquén Basin of west-central Argentina (Legarreta 1991). In other regions, such as the Gulf Coast Basin (USA), a lack of precise biostratigraphy does not allow interpretation of Lower and Middle Oxfordian sediments.…”

A collection of 73 belemnites and brachiopods from detailed stratigraphically documented sections in the Polish Jura Chain of Central Poland representing almost the whole Oxfordian Stage was studied for oxygen and carbon isotopes. The δ 18 O and δ 13 C (V-PDB) values range from -3.6 to +0.5‰ and from -1.6 to +2‰ for belemnite rostra, and from -2.5 to +0.4‰ and from +1.6 to +4.3‰ for brachiopod shells, respectively. The δ 13 C temporal trends of belemnite rostra and brachiopod shells show a constant isotopic difference (ca. 2.5-3‰), which is interpreted as a vital effect of belemnites or as a result of different life environments. δ 18 O values are similar in both groups of fossils. The δ 18 O values in the Lower and Middle Oxfordian oscillate around 0‰ and decrease in the Upper Oxfordian. This decrease results mainly from diagenetic overprint as proved by the cathodoluminescence studies. The Lower and Middle Oxfordian δ 18 O-derived temperatures were constant in consequence of significant ocean depth. For this reason there are no established links with distribution of ammonite faunas. The δ 13 C temporal trend displays a gentle slope through the Oxfordian and reaches maximum values at the turn of the Plicatilis/Transversarium Zones of the Middle Oxfordian, which is commonly considered as a global event. It can be related to the sea-level highstand and growth crisis of carbonate platforms. The decrease in δ 13 C values starting in the upper Middle Oxfordian is interpreted to be due to the acceleration of carbonate sedimentation rate during this time period.

The subsidence and stratigraphic evolution in an eastern section of the Subbetic Zone (External Zones of the Betic Cordilleras, Spain) during Jurassic and early Cretaceous times have been examined. The sediments have been deposited on a passive margin undergoing rifting. The data indicate that the activity was complex and spasmodic, with two distinct rift and post-rift phases. The beginning of the first syn-rift and post-rift phases are recorded by two regional sedimentary breaks, in the Late Carixian and in the Bathonian, respectively. The second rift and post-rift phases began, with less clearly defined limits, during the Oxfordian and at the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary, respectively. *
