Abstract The Jenkyns Event, more widely known as the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T‐OAE), is marked by globally distributed negative carbon‐isotope excursions, widespread oxygen depletion, and large‐scale organic carbon burial, which indicate major climate/environmental perturbations in Earth's surface systems during the Early Jurassic. Although extensive research has been conducted in European continental settings, particularly in the western peri‐Tethys regions, the impacts of this event bey
