A series of global major geological and biological events occurred during the Permian
Period. Establishing a highresolution stratigraphic and temporal framework is essential to …

A high-resolution oxygen isotope record based on 356 measurements of conodont apatite
from several low latitudinal sections in South China, USA and Iran was composed in order to …

The end-Permian mass extinction was the most severe biodiversity crisis in Earth history. To
better constrain the timing, and ultimately the causes of this event, we collected a suite of …

The supercontinent Pangea completes its assembly and moves north during the Permian.
The 47-million-year-long period begins with a great ice age and ends with the Earth's …

Previous studies of the end-Permian mass extinction have established that it was
geologically rapid, but condensed sections have made it difficult to establish the exact timing …

In the Precambrian, reverse weathering—a process consuming oceanic silica, metal cations
and alkalinity to form marine clays—was a key control of the long-term carbon cycle …

The Permian-Triassic mass extinction severely depleted biodiversity, primarily observed in
the body fossil of well-skeletonized animals. Understanding how whole ecosystems were …

The end-Permian mass extinction reflects the most severe life crisis during the Phanerozoic
and was associated with major global environmental changes. However, the consistency of …

Large carbon cycle perturbations are associated with the end-Permian mass extinction and
subsequent recovery, but Late Permian (Lo**ian) carbon cycle dynamics prior to the mass …

The Middle Permian Emeishan large igneous province of SW China has provided the
quintessential example of the phenomenon of kilometre-scale pre-eruption domal uplift …
