Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Abstract Manganese (Mn) oxidation in marine environments requires oxygen (O2) or other reactive oxygen species in the water column, and widespread Mn oxide deposition in ancient sedimentary rocks has long been used as a proxy for oxidation. The oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere and oceans across the Archean‐Proterozoic boundary are associated with ...

Paleozoic radiolarian biostratigraphy [PDF]
The current knowledge of Paleozoic radiolarian ranges, proposed zonations, and faunal assemblages that have been used in biostratigraphy over the past few decades is compiled herein. More than 90 assemblages can currently be readily recognized and many of these, although regional in their construction, have elements that can be correlated throughout a ...

High-precision U-Pb ages in the early Tithonian to early Berriasian and implications for the numerical age of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary [PDF]
The numerical age of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary has been controversial and difficult to determine. In this study, we present high-precision U-Pb geochronological data around the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in two distinct sections from different ...
