element analyses revealed a negative cerium anomaly within <strong>the</strong> crusts and <strong>the</strong> spiculite at<br />

Steinplatte locality. In <strong>Lower</strong> <strong>Liassic</strong> Fe/Mn crusts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn <strong>Calcareous</strong> Alps such an<br />

anomaly has been proved for <strong>the</strong> first time. Most likely it is related to higher precipitation rates<br />

caused by bacterial mats or possibly by a small influence <strong>of</strong> hydro<strong>the</strong>rmal fluids. Carbon and<br />

oxygen stable isotopes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same sequence show primary signals <strong>of</strong> a small negative δ 13 Ccarb<br />

excursion that extends from Hettangian to <strong>Lower</strong> Sinemurian time.
