Several major episodes of Tertiary explosive volcanism coincided with sharply lowered
temperature as inferred from oxygen-isotope composition of foraminiferal tests in deep-sea …

The tectonics, geography, and climate of the Cretaceous world was a very different from the
modern world. At the start of the Cretaceous, the supercontinent of Pangea had just begun to …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic (Early Devonian to Middle Permian) was an interval of profound
changes in Earth-surface systems, reflected in dynamic interplay among the biosphere …

During its life span from mid-Carboniferous (320 Ma) merger to mid-Jurassic (160 Ma) initial
breakup, Pangea comprised two contrasting sedimentary provinces:(1) an emergent …

Cretaceous volcanic activities (LIPs and CFBPs) appear to have had relatively minor biotic
effects, at least at the generic level. Major biotic stress during the Cretaceous was …

Abstract Events of the Paleocene-Eocene boundary provide the clearest example to date of
how a tectonic event may have global climatic consequences. Recent advances permit well …

Summary The Permian Period was characterized by a series of large‐scale volcanic
eruptions, including the emplacement of at least five mafic Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs …

Abstract The Permian Period represents both a transition and a beginning in global
paleoclimate. Continental glaciation, which peaked in the Late Carboniferous, declined and …

The Permian was marked by transition from the glacioera to the thermoera, the last one in
the geo-logical history. This global climatic reorganization followed the significant …

The Late Palaeozoic Ice Age (LPIA), spanning approximately from~ 320 Ma (Serpukhovian,
late Mississippian) to 290 Ma (mid-Sakmarian, Early Permian), represents the vegetated …
