Figure DR1. Detailed, composite stratigraphic log of the studied sections
Stratigraphic log of the studied composite section with details of ammonite zones and
subzones, lithology, bed numbers, location of the main shell beds and of the collected
samples and sampled localities (in blue). Reference bed numbers, ammonite zones and
subzones follow Howarth (1955, 1962, 1973); lithostratigraphy follows Howard (1985) and
Rawson & Wright (1995). Subzone abbreviations: hask: hawskerense; clev: clevelandicum;
tenuicost: tenuicostatum.

Organic
matter
Exchange of carbon between
isotopically depleted organic and
isotopically enriched inorganic
reservoirs.
Positive excursion: globally increased rates of
organic matter burial and increased productivity.
Negative excursion: introduction of isotopically
light carbon into the ocean–atmosphere system
(e.g., volcanism, methane hydrates).

Kemp et al., 2005;
Littler et al., 2010.
δ18O (‰) Belemnite

Temperature-dependent isotopic
fractionation between authigenic
carbonate minerals and ambient
waters.
Positive excursion: sea water cooling.
Negative excursion: warming and/or input of
fresh waters.

(‰)
Belemnite
calcite
Sulfur cycle primarily controlled by
bacterial sulfate reduction.
Positive excursion: increase in burial rate of
pyrite (removal of 32S) in sediments deposited
under euxinic conditions, indicating high nutrient
input from recycling of organic material in ocean
sediments.
Gill et al., 2011;
Newton et al. 2011.
TOC
(wt %)
Bulk rock The weight percent of organic carbon in
sediments depends on
paleoproductivity, redox conditions and
terrigenous detrital matter influx.
Positive excursion: high surface productivity
and/or local anoxia.
McArthur et al.,
2008.
δ98/95Mo
(‰)
Bulk rock δ98/95Mo changes reflect expansion and
contraction of oxic sinks.
Positive excursion: extreme anoxic and/or
euxinic conditions in the water column and
basinal restriction.

Lithology - Lithology can be used as a general
guide to paleoenvironment as
parameters such as grain size broadly
correlate with depositional energy and,
frequently, with water depth.
Broadly, muddy sediments settle in lower
energy, usually deeper, water than sandy
sediments

Appendix DR1: Methods, detailed information
Sampling. Coastal sections were sampled at Staithes (54°33′23″N 00°47′43″W), Port
Mulgrave (54°32′48″N 00°46′13″W), Runswick Bay (54°32′4″N 00°45′18″W), Kettleness
(54°31′43″N 00°43′1″W), and Saltwick Bay (54°28′54″N 00°35′32″W), North Yorkshire,
UK. Correlation between sections measured in different studies was possible due to the high
rock exposure in the area and the numerous marker beds of carbonate nodules, sideritic
concretions, and distinctive lithologies. The average stratigraphic resolution of samples is less
than 0.5 meters. Of these, 55 samples were collected by CTSL (Little, 1995), and the
remaining 44 were collected during 2012 from foreshore exposures. CTSL’s samples were
collected every meter, on average, through the study interval, apart from at the top of the
Grey Shale Member where the samples were collected at a decimeter scale. At each sample
point, all the benthic macro-invertebrate fossils found in the field were counted and species
abundance was recorded. Representative specimens were taken back to the laboratory for
identification. The 2012 samples were collected every 1.5 meters on average, through the
study interval, and a standard quantity of 3 kg of bulk rock was collected at each sample
point. Samples were mechanically disaggregated in the laboratory with the use of sharp
chisels, and all recognizable macrofossils were counted and identified.
Biotic variables dataset. The total dataset consists of 99 samples, 66 taxa and 11,318
individuals. It includes abundance data for bivalves, gastropods, scaphopods, brachiopods,
echinoderms (crinoids), serpulids, ammonites and belemnites, which were identified at the
finest taxonomic level possible. The numbers of individuals were estimated from the
preserved bioclasts by following the methodology of Little (1995) for both the 1995 and 2012
datasets. For bivalves and brachiopods, the number of individuals was obtained by adding
together the number of articulated specimens and the number of disarticulated valves. The
number of gastropod individuals was equated to the number of individual apices, and each
discrete cluster of crinoid ossicles was counted as one individual.
The biotic variables have been divided in two datasets, one with benthic and the other with
nektonic taxa. Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM; Clarke, 1993) was carried out to test the
difference between samples collected with the two different sampling methods. The resulting
pair-wise R-values give an absolute measure of separation between the groups, on a scale of
zero (indistinguishable) to one (no similarity between groups). For the benthos, the null
hypothesis of no difference between the two sample sets was retained (R = -0.007; p= 0.563).
For the Nekton, R is almost zero, indicating the two groups are indistinguishable (R = 0.037;
p= 0.07). This confirms that samples do not group according to the two different sampling
methods and can be merged in a single dataset.
Data analysis. For each sample, alpha diversity was measured using the Simpson index of
diversity (1-d; Simpson, 1949), an appropriate measure of diversity for species abundance
data when sample size is not homogeneous. The Simpson index of diversity ranges from zero
(one taxon dominates the community completely) to one (all taxa are equally present), and it
represents the probability that two individuals randomly selected from a sample will belong
to different species (Clarke and Warwick 2001). The two diversity curves shown in Figure 1
were then smoothed using the 3-point moving average function (Hammer et al. 2001), and
correlated with the Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rs) before and after the extinction
interval.

Linear interpolation was used to interpolate values of the environmental variables according
to the heights of the macro-invertebrate samples, and relationships amongst them analyzed
with the Pearson Liner Correlation Coefficient (r). In one instance (δ98/95Mo), 5 missing
values from a total of 99 data points, were estimated using the Expectation-Maximization
algorithm for optimal prediction of missing data provided by the Primer Software (Clarke and
Warwick, 2001). Lithology (fine sandstone, siltstone, silty mudstone, mudstone, clay-rich
weakly laminated mudstone, clay-rich laminated mudstone) was added to the dataset and
treated as a categorical variable. Ordination methods were used to visualize patterns in
multivariate data. Before singletons were removed and abundances were percentage and
fourth-root transformed; environmental data were normalized. A non-constrained ordination
(PCoA, Principal coordinates analysis; Gower, 1966) was performed on the macro-
invertebrate data using a Bray Curtis similarity measure and on the environmental data using
a Euclidean distance measure. The relationship between the macro-invertebrate datasets and
the environmental variables was analyzed using nonparametric multivariate regression using
the DISTLM routine (Anderson et al., 2008). Individual environmental variables were
analyzed separately for their relationship with the macro-invertebrate (marginal test) and all
together were subjected to a step-wise selection procedure (sequential test) to develop a
model of the species data using the Aikake’s Information Criterion corrected for sample size
(AICc; Burnham et al., 2011). The step-wise method begins with a null hypothesis containing
no predictor variables. The predictor variable with the best value for the selection criterion is
chosen first, followed by the variable that, together with the first, improves the selection
criterion the most, and so on. However, at each step, forward selection seeks for possible
backward variable eliminations to improve the criterion. The procedure stops when no
improvement in the selection criterion can be made by either adding or deleting a term
(Anderson et al., 2008). Distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA; Legendre and
Anderson 1999), a constrained ordination method, was applied to explicitly visualize the
relationship between environmental variables and the fossil community assemblage. All
analyses were performed with the software Primer 6 & Permanova (Clarke and Warwick,
2001; Anderson et al., 2008).
