Palaeoenvironmental change during the end-Guadalupian (Permian) mass extinction in Sichuan, China
The end-Guadalupian mass extinction has been investigated in Sichuan province, SW
China. In the south of the province the platform carbonates of the Maokou Formation are
overlain by the Emeishan flood basalts, a possible factor in the extinction event, and in the
north of the province the formation is succeeded by shallow-marine carbonates of the
Wuchiaping Formation (Late Permian). The extinction event is primarily recorded by the loss
of fusulinaceans and possibly by species-level turnover amongst calcareous algae. The …
