Effects of volcanic activities in Ordovician Wufeng–Silurian Longmaxi period on organic-rich shale in the Upper Yangtze area, South China

Based on the corresponding relationship between the paleoproductivity, redox conditions and volcanism within a chronostratigraphic framework, the effects of volcanic events in the Wufeng–Longmaxi period on organic abundance of shale were examined. Bentonite layers were mostly developed in the transg...
