Biomineralization: Integrating mechanism and evolutionary history
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralizing organisms have played major roles in the
history of life and the global carbon cycle during the past 541 Ma. Both marine diversification …

The Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP): A review
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 …

U-Pb constraints on pulsed eruption of the Deccan Traps across the end-Cretaceous mass extinction
Temporal correlation between some continental flood basalt eruptions and mass extinctions
has been proposed to indicate causality, with eruptive volatile release driving environmental …

How Large Igneous Provinces affect global climate, sometimes cause mass extinctions, and represent natural markers in the geological record
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …

Initial pulse of Siberian Traps sills as the trigger of the end-Permian mass extinction
Mass extinction events are short-lived and characterized by catastrophic biosphere collapse
and subsequent reorganization. Their abrupt nature necessitates a similarly short-lived …

Zircon U-Pb geochronology links the end-Triassic extinction with the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province
The end-Triassic extinction is characterized by major losses in both terrestrial and marine
diversity, setting the stage for dinosaurs to dominate Earth for the next 136 million years …

Mercury evidence for combustion of organic-rich sediments during the end-Triassic crisis
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 …

U-Pb geochronology of the Deccan Traps and relation to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction
The Chicxulub asteroid impact (Mexico) and the eruption of the massive Deccan volcanic
province (India) are two proposed causes of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, which …

[HTML][HTML] End-Triassic mass extinction started by intrusive CAMP activity
The end-Triassic extinction is one of the Phanerozoic's largest mass extinctions. This
extinction is typically attributed to climate change associated with degassing of basalt flows …

Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions: an update
The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known.
Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous …
