We made a detailed geological map at Katsuyama using high resolution aerial photos.
Distinct high Ce and Mn contents across the Tr–J boundary indicate an oxic condition.
Enrichments of Mo and U in Anisian and Toarcian black shales support deep-sea euxinia.
δ15NTN in Anisian black shales may attribute to a prominent ammonium assimilation.
δ15NTN values in Toarcian black shales indicate an enhance nitrogen fixation.
