Large igneous province (LIP) eruptions are increasingly considered to have driven mass
extinction events throughout the Phanerozoic; however, uncertainties in radiometric age …

Abstract The Triassic–Jurassic transition is characterized by the end-Triassic mass extinction
approximately synchronous with the onset of emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic …

The sources of isotopically light carbon released during the end-Triassic mass extinction
remain in debate. Here, we use mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopes from a pelagic …

The latest Permian mass extinction (LPME) was triggered by magmatism of the Siberian
Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP), which left an extensive record of sedimentary Hg …

The latest Permian mass extinction, the most devastating biocrisis of the Phanerozoic, has
been widely attributed to eruptions of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province, although …

Two events share the stage as main drivers of the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction—
Deccan Traps volcanism, and an asteroid impact recorded by the Chicxulub crater. We …

Although the prime causation of the Late Devonian Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) mass
extinction remains conjectural, such destructive factors as the spread of anoxia and rapid …

Volcanism is a dominant natural source of mercury (Hg) to the atmosphere, biosphere,
ocean and sediments. In recent years, sedimentary Hg contents have emerged as a tool to …

Widespread oceanic anoxia marked by globally extensive deposition of organic-rich black
shale during the Late Devonian was a major factor in the mass extinctions at the Frasnian …

Mercury (Hg) anomalies linked to Large Igneous Provinces (LIP) volcanism have been
identified in sediments across all five major mass extinctions in Earth's history. This study …
