Data for: Lipid biomarkers recording marine microbial community structure changes through the Frasnian‐Famennian mass extinction event

This dataset contains data for a research article published on Geobiology. The article is entitled \" Lipid biomarkers recording marine microbial community structure changes through the Frasnian‐Famennian mass extinction event\". This study aims to reconstruct changes in the marine microbial community structure through the Late Devonian Frasnian‐Famennian (F‐F) transition. We performed a multiproxy investigation on a drill core of the Upper Devonian New Albany Shale from the Illinois Basin (western Kentucky, USA). Detailed information regarding the data collection, analysis, and interpretation can be found in the following paper:

Lipid Biomarkers Recording Marine Microbial Community Structure Changes Through the Frasnian‐Famennian Mass Extinction Event. Geobiology https://doi.org/10.1111/gbi.12568, In May 2019, 61 rock samples were collected from the T-6590 drill core of the Upper Devonian New Albany Shale curated at the Kentucky Geological Survey. The drill core was recovered from well SA-005, McLean County, western Kentucky (N 37.42°, W 87.28°) by the CNX Gas Company, LLC. Sampling interval is about 1 m. From June 2019 to March 2021, element, biomarker, and Tmax data collection was performed at the University of Alabama, Zhejiang University, and Source Rock Lab, GeoMark Research Inc. From May 2022 to June 2022, compound-specific isotope data were collected at the Auburn University.,
