    The timing, tempo, and causative mechanisms of Ocean Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a), one of several such abrupt perturbations of the Mesozoic global carbon cycle, remain uncertain. Mudstones interbedded with tuffs in Hokkaido, Japan preserve carbon and osmium isotope shifts recording OAE1a. U-Pb zircon ages of tuffs constrain the OAE1a onset to 119.55 +0.072/−0.079 million years ago (Ma) and its duration to 1116 +87/−93 thousand years (kyr). Isotopic excursions of osmium followed by carbon that mark the rapid onset of OAE1a each lasted ~115 kyr. Critically, the occurrence of index fossilLeupoldina cabriin the Hokkaido OAE1a section, which also caps and thus postdate Ontong Java Plateau (OJP) basalts, has a U-Pb zircon age of ~118.7 to 118.4 Ma. Therefore, OJP volcanism remains a probable source of unradiogenic osmium and light carbon and a causative mechanism of OAE1a.
