The Triassic‐Jurassic transition (~201.5 Ma) is marked by one of the largest mass extinctions in Earth’s history. This was accompanied by significant perturbations in ocean and atmosphere geochemistry, including the global carbon cycle, as expressed by major fluctuations in carbon isotope ratios. Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) volcanism triggered environmental changes and played a key role in this biotic crisis. Biostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic studies link the end‐Triassic mass extinction with the early phases of CAMP volcanism, and notable mercury enrichments in geographically distributed marine and continental strata are shown to be coeval with the onset of the extrusive emplacement of CAMP. Sulfuric acid induced atmospheric aerosol clouds from subaerial CAMP volcanism can explain a brief, relatively cool seawater temperature pulse in the mid‐paleolatitude Pan‐European seaway across the T–J transition. The occurrence of CAMP‐induced carbon degassing may explain the overall long‐term shift toward much warmer conditions. The effect of CAMP volcanism on seawater 87Sr/86Sr values might have been indirect by driving enhanced continental weathering intensity. Changes in ocean‐atmosphere geochemistry and associated (causative) effects on paleoclimatic, paleoenvironmental, and paleoceanographic con ditions on local, regional, and global scales are however not yet fully constrained. 10 1 Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Mana gement, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark 2 Department of Geology, Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin, Dublin, Ireland 3 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom 4 Deapartment of Geology, Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary 5 Research Group for Paleontology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences‐Hungarian Natural History Museum‐Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary 6 Camborne School of Mines and Environment and Sustain ability Institute, University of Exeter, Cornwall, United Kingdom 186 CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY ACROSS MAJOR CHRONOLOGICAL BOUNDARIES extensive volcanism (triggering a whole range of paleoen vironmental changes including climate warming, euxinia, ocean acidification, etc.) in the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) [e.g., Marzoli et al., 1999; Schoene et al., 2010; Whiteside et al., 2010; Blackburn et al., 2013; Davies et al., 2017; Percival et al., 2017] and associated climate change [McElwain et al., 1999; van de Schootbrugge et al., 2009; Ruhl et al., 2011], increased photic zone anoxia/euxinia and enhanced ocean stratification [Richoz et al., 2012; Jaraula et al., 2013; Kasprak et al., 2015], or ocean acidification [Hautmann et al., 2008; Hönisch et al., 2012; Greene et al., 2012].
