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.

, 2017 The Triassic was a time of diversification of the global floras following the mass-extinction event at the close of the Permian, with floras of low-diversity and somewhat uniform aspect in the Early Triassic developing into complex vegetation by the Late Triassic.

, 2018 During faunal recovery after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (PTME), several tetrapod lineages independently evolved adaptations to marine life. Thus reptiles became significant elements of marine environments already at the beginning of the Mesozoic ...

Late Triassic <i>†Cryptovaranoides microlanius</i> is a squamate, not an archosauromorph. [PDF]
R Soc Open SciAbstract †Cryptovaranoides microlanius from the latest Triassic of England was described in 2022 as a crown-clade squamate, of importance as the oldest such modern-type lizard, extending their temporal range downward by 35 Myr. This view was challenged in 2023, and †Cryptovaranoides was reinterpreted as an archosauromorph.

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae). [PDF]
J AnatA three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Intercalibration of Boreal and Tethyan timescales: the magneto-biostratigraphy of the Middle Triassic and the latest Early Triassic from Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway [PDF]
, 2008 An integrated bio-magnetostratigraphic study of the latest Early Triassic to the upper parts of the Middle Triassic, at Milne Edwardsfjellet in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard, allows a detailed correlation of Boreal and Tethyan biostratigraphies.

The palaeomagnetism of Late Permian-Early Triassic and Late Triassic deposits on Timor: an Australian origin? [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1990 SUMMARY studies have been carried out on sediments from two formations in Western Timor; (a) red, crinoid-bearing limestones of the Maubisse Formation of Late Permian-Early Triassic age and (b) reddish calcilutites and red shales of the Aituto Formation of Late Triassic age.

Impacts on Earth in the Late Triassic [PDF]
Nature, 1998 Spray et al. postulate that five widely dispersed terrestrial impact structures with very similar geological age estimates (about 214 million years ago, in the Late Triassic epoch) are evidence of a multiple impact event. Most notably, the three largest impact structures, Saint Martin in western Canada (~40 km diameter), Manicouagan in eastern Canada (~
