Other published occurrences of the SOCIE are discussed here, including new 13Corg data from the Jabalón River section, Corral de Calatrava, central Spain, where the SOCIE is only a very minor positive excursion. Very unusually, the SOCIE is best developed in deeper water settings, contrary to the typical pattern of declining excursion magnitude offshore. In the Sommerodde-1 core (Bornholm), and where it has been tentatively identified in the Vežaičiai-2 core (Lithuania), the SOCIE is developed in pale, organic-poor mudstones. It is considered likely that the magnitude of the SOCIE has been enhanced in the Sommerodde-1 core record by a change in organic matter composition in the deep-marine environment that did not have such a significant effect in shallower marine environments.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article2041-479Xhttps://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2023-037https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/jgs/article/180/5/jgs2023-037/627463/The-Sommerodde-Telychian-Silurian-positive-carbonopen access551.733.3Geología estratigráfica2506.19 Estratigrafía
