“…The mean of TS values in our samples was 0.16%, with a standard deviation of 0.13. We also normalized Hg to sulfur to evaluate whether the Hg spike was driven by sulfide drawdown under increased anoxic conditions rather than enhanced loading of Hg to the basin (e.g., Sanei et al, 2012;Them et al, 2019). While Hg/TS was generally <50 ppb/wt% through most of the succession, there was a clear peak where values rose markedly to >100 ppb/ wt% between samples BF15 and BF13, and a further peak of ∼100 ppb/wt% was found in the topmost meters of the Permian part of the section (samples BF4 to BF2).…”

“…Furthermore, mercury is also sensitive to postdepositional processes leading to dissolution‐reprecipitation and enrichment (Smit et al, ). Recently, Them et al () showed the complexity of the Hg cycle using a compilation of Hg data during the Toarcian negative carbon isotope event. These authors have shown that Hg/TOC anomalies were restricted to proximal environments, suggesting that these enrichments reflect regional changes in riverine Hg input rather than direct volcanogenic emissions.…”

“…However, caution must be taken when interpreting records of Hg enrichments in sedimentary rocks because Hg can accumulate as a result of several other processes (e.g. Them et al (2019)).…”
