Abstract
A world-wide event of Early Jurassic the anoxia, observable in the Toarcian sequences and attended with significant death in the marine benthos. After the anoxic event in the upper part of the Toarcian sequences we can observe the successive return of the normal oxygen-level in the seas. The return of the benthos-fauna occurred rather selective. In the Sequences of Hungary both epicontinental and deep marine sediments are observable: epicontinental ones in the Mecsek Mts., deep marine ones in the Bakony and Gerecse Mts.
