Triassic climates—state of the art and perspectives
The climate of the Triassic period was characterized by a non-zonal pattern, dictated by a
strong global monsoon system with effects that are most evident in the Tethys realm. This …

Marine productivity changes during the end-Permian crisis and Early Triassic recovery
The latest Permian mass extinction (LPME) coincided with major changes in the composition
of marine plankton communities, yet little is known about concurrent changes in primary …

Use of U–Pb ages of detrital zircons to infer maximum depositional ages of strata: a test against a Colorado Plateau Mesozoic database
WR Dickinson, GE Gehrels - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2009 - Elsevier
We test the research strategy of using youngest U–Pb ages of detrital zircons to constrain
the maximum depositional ages of strata containing the zircon grains by comparing U–Pb …

Lethally hot temperatures during the Early Triassic greenhouse
Global warming is widely regarded to have played a contributing role in numerous past
biotic crises. Here, we show that the end-Permian mass extinction coincided with a rapid …

A Mesozoic fossil lagerstätte from 250.8 million years ago shows a modern-type marine ecosystem
Finely preserved fossil assemblages (lagerstätten) provide crucial insights into evolutionary
innovations in deep time. We report an exceptionally preserved Early Triassic fossil …

Animal evolution, bioturbation, and the sulfate concentration of the oceans
DE Canfield, J Farquhar - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
As recognized already by Charles Darwin, animals are geobiological agents. Darwin

Multiple episodes of extensive marine anoxia linked to global warming and continental weathering following the latest Permian mass extinction
Explaining the~ 5-million-year delay in marine biotic recovery following the latest Permian
mass extinction, the largest biotic crisis of the Phanerozoic, is a fundamental challenge for …

Establishing a time‐scale for plant evolution
Plants have utterly transformed the planet, but testing hypotheses of causality requires a
reliable time‐scale for plant evolution. While clock methods have been extensively …

Terrestrial–marine teleconnections in the collapse and rebuilding of Early Triassic marine ecosystems
The latest Permian mass extinction (LPE), just prior to the Permian–Triassic boundary at~
252Ma, resulted in the disappearance of~ 90% of skeletonized marine taxa and the …
