Comparing the timing of mass extinctions with the formation age of large igneous provinces
reveals a close correspondence in five cases, but previous claims that all such provinces …

Abstract The Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP) consists of basic rocks emplaced
as shallow intrusions and erupted in large lava flow fields over a land surface area in excess …

The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) is defined by tholeiitic basalts that crop out
in once-contiguous parts of North America, Europe, Africa, and South America and is …

Review of sea-level changes during the big five mass extinctions and several lesser
extinction events reveals that the majority coincide with large eustatic inflexions. The degree …

An assessment is made of the current state of research into Jurassic sea-level changes
based on new insights into depositional patterns in relation to these changes and new …

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are the products of exceptional magmatic events that played
important roles in tectonic plate reorganizations, environmental crises, energy resource …

The evolution of life on Earth is marked by catastrophic extinction events, one of which
occurred ca. 200 Ma at the transition from the Triassic Period to the Jurassic Period (Tr-J …

Accelerated biotic turnover during the Late Triassic has led to the perception of an end-
Triassic mass extinction event, now regarded as one of the “big five” extinctions. Close …

Abstract The Early Jurassic was marked by multiple periods of major global climatic and
palaeoceanographic change, biotic turnover and perturbed global geochemical cycles …

Major Early Jurassic basaltic magmatism accompanied Pangaean rifting during the
formation of the central North Atlantic Ocean. Some geodynamic models attribute Early …
