Glendonites throughout the Phanerozoic
Ikaite is a metastable calcium carbonate hexahydrate (CaCO3· 6H2O), which naturally
occurs in environments characterized by temperatures of− 2 to+ 7° C. It is therefore …

The Triassic–Jurassic transition–A review of environmental change at the dawn of modern life
Abstract The Triassic–Jurassic transition, which is here broadly defined as extending from
the Late Triassic through the Early Jurassic (~ 237 Ma to 174 Ma), was an important interval …

[HTML][HTML] The 'seed-fern'Lepidopteris mass-produced the abnormal pollen Ricciisporites during the end-Triassic biotic crisis
The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE;~ 201.6 million years ago) led to dramatic changes in
terrestrial ecosystems including the extinction of several seed-plant groups. Among the most …
