A high-resolution summary of Cambrian to Early Triassic marine invertebrate biodiversity
Science, 2020 A finer record of biodiversity We have pressing, human-generated reasons to explore the influence of environmental change on biodiversity. Looking into the past can not only inform our understanding of this relationship but also help us to understand ...

Extinction and dawn of the modern world in the Carnian (Late Triassic)
Science Advances, 2020 The roots of modern-style ecosystems go back to the Carnian (ca. 233 Ma), a time of global climate change and extinction. The Carnian Pluvial Episode (Late Triassic) was a time of global environmental changes and possibly substantial coeval volcanism ...

Evidence for a prolonged Permian–Triassic extinction interval from global marine mercury records
Nature Communications, 2019 The latest Permian mass extinction, the most devastating biocrisis of the Phanerozoic, has been widely attributed to eruptions of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province, although evidence of a direct link has been scant to date.

End-Triassic mass extinction started by intrusive CAMP activity
Nature Communications, 2017 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 from the central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP). However, recent work

No mass extinction for land plants at the Permian–Triassic transition
Nature Communications, 2019 The most severe mass extinction among animals took place in the latest Permian (ca. 252 million years ago). Due to scarce and impoverished fossil floras from the earliest Triassic, the common perception has been that land plants likewise suffered a mass ...

Mercury anomalies and the timing of biotic recovery following the end-Triassic mass extinction
Nature Communications, 2016 The end-Triassic mass extinction overlapped with the eruption of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP), and release of CO2 and other volcanic volatiles has been implicated in the extinction.

From shallow-water carbonate ramp to hemipelagic deep-marine carbonate deposition: Part 1. General characteristics, microfacies and depositional history of the Middle to Late Anisian Bulog sedimentary succession in the Inner Dinarides (SW Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2023 The opening of the Neo‐Tethys started in the Middle Anisian and is recorded in the drowning succession of the shallow‐water Ravni/Steinalm Carbonate Ramp and the subsequent deposition of deep‐marine limestones, e.g., the red nodular limestones of the ...

Colobops: a juvenile rhynchocephalian reptile (Lepidosauromorpha), not a diminutive archosauromorph with an unusually strong bite [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Correctly identifying taxa at the root of major clades or the oldest clade-representatives is critical for meaningful interpretations of evolution. A small, partially crushed skull from the Late Triassic (Norian) of Connecticut, USA, originally described

First three-dimensional skull of the Middle Triassic mixosaurid ichthyosaur Phalarodon fraasi from Svalbard, Norway [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The marine Middle Triassic sediments of Svalbard are rich in fossiliferous material and are particularly well-known for marine reptile fossils. Here, we present a new specimen of the small-bodied mixosaurid ichthyosaur Phalarodon fraasi from the ...

Five million years of high atmospheric CO2 in the aftermath of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction
Geology, 2022 The end-Permian mass extinction, the largest biological crisis in Earth history, is currently understood in the context of Siberian Traps volcanism introducing large quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, culminating in the Early Triassic ...
