Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 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.

Taxonomic and ecologic transitions in Triassic marine bivalve communities [PDF]
PeerJThe Permian–Triassic mass extinction was a pivotal event in shaping marine benthic ecosystems, leading to the rise of mollusks such as bivalves and gastropods as representatives of the Modern Evolutionary Fauna.

Provenance and tectonic settings of late Triassic–Jurassic deposits in the Southwestern Yangtze block: evidence from the geochemistry, SW China [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDuring the Late Triassic to Jurassic, the western Yangtze Block transitioned from marine carbonate deposits to terrestrial detrital deposits. There are different views on the orogen evolution of the western margin of the Yangtze Block, such as whether ...

A Hiatus Obscures the Early Evolution of Modern Lineages of Bony Fishes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 About half of all vertebrate species today are ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), and nearly all of them belong to the Neopterygii (modern ray-fins). The oldest unequivocal neopterygian fossils are known from the Early Triassic.

A new Lower Triassic ichthyopterygian assemblage from Fossil Hill, Nevada [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 We report a new ichthyopterygian assemblage from Lower Triassic horizons of the Prida Formation at Fossil Hill in central Nevada. Although fragmentary, the specimens collected so far document a diverse fauna.

A new stem group echinoid from the Triassic of China leads to a revised macroevolutionary history of echinoids during the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The Permian–Triassic bottleneck has long been thought to have drastically altered the course of echinoid evolution, with the extinction of the entire echinoid stem group having taken place during the end-Permian mass extinction. The Early Triassic fossil

Early archosauromorph remains from the Permo-Triassic Buena Vista Formation of north-eastern Uruguay [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The Permo-Triassic archosauromorph record is crucial to understand the impact of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction on the early evolution of the group and its subsequent dominance in Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems.

A new archosauriform (Reptilia: Diapsida) from the Manda beds (Middle Triassic) of southwestern Tanzania. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundArchosauria and their closest relatives, the non-archosaurian archosauriforms, diversified in the Early and Middle Triassic, soon after the end-Permian extinction. This diversification is poorly documented in most Lower and Middle Triassic rock

A new Early Triassic crinoid from Nevada questions the origin and palaeobiogeographical history of dadocrinids [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 Knowledge of the early evolution of post-Palaeozoic crinoids mainly relies on the well-preserved and abundant material sampled in Triassic Konservat-Lagerstätten such as those from the Anisian Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic) of the Germanic Basin.

New insights on the early Mesozoic evolution of multiple tectonic regimes in the northeastern North China Craton from the detrital zircon provenance of sedimentary strata [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2018 To investigate the timing of deposition and provenance of early Mesozoic strata in the northeastern North China Craton (NCC) and to understand the early Mesozoic paleotectonic evolution of the region, we combine stratigraphy, U–Pb zircon geochronology,
