Phanerozoic polar wander, palaeogeography and dynamics
TH Torsvik, R Van der Voo, U Preeden… - Earth-Science …, 2012 - Elsevier
A significant number of new palaeomagnetic poles have become available since the last
time a compilation was made (assembled in 2005, published in 2008) to indicate to us that a …

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 …

Origin of angiosperms and the puzzle of the Jurassic gap
Angiosperms are by far the most species-rich clade of land plants, but their origin and early
evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We reconstructed angiosperm phylogeny …

[HTML][HTML] On the causes of mass extinctions
The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the
major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of …

[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 …

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 …

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 …

Mercury evidence for pulsed volcanism during the end-Triassic mass extinction
The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) has long been proposed as having a
causal relationship with the end-Triassic extinction event (∼ 201.5 Ma). In North America …
