Cyclostratigraphy of the Middle Jurassic Basal Radiolarites spans ~ 4 Myr.
Chert abundance (chert/shale thickness ratio) and darkness show orbital-scale cycles.
Black cherts in high chert abundance intervals reflected productivity induced anoxia.
Black cherts in low chert abundance intervals reflected stratification induced anoxia during low stand.
405 kyr cycles might correspond glacial eustatic cycles.
