This study investigates whether the end-Triassic biotic crisis was coupled with a perturbation
of the marine C-isotope budget. The marine C-isotope signature serves as a proxy of the …

The end-Triassic is characterized by one of the largest mass extinctions in the Phanerozoic,
coinciding with major carbon cycle perturbations and global warming. It has been suggested …

Although many sources of atmospheric CO2 have been estimated, the major sinks are
poorly understood in a deep‐time context. Here we combine plate reconstructions, the …

The end-Triassic mass extinction (ca. 201.4 Ma) coincided with a major carbon cycle
perturbation, based on an∼ 5‰− 6‰ negative excursion in δ13CTOC (total organic carbon) …

The mass extinction event that occurred at the close of the Permian Period (~ 252 million
years ago) represents the most severe biodiversity loss in the ocean of the Phanerozoic. The …

The Mesozoic was the time of the break-up of Pangaea, with profound consequences not
only for the paleocontinental configuration, but also for paleoclimates and for the evolution of …

Widespread development of microbialites characterizes the substrate and ecological
response during the aftermath of two of the 'big five'mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic …

The pace of Late Triassic (LT) biodiversity loss is uncertain, yet it could help to decipher
causal mechanisms of mass extinction. We investigated relative abundance distributions …

Reliable geochronological results gathered so far (n= 76) have considerably constrained the
timing of the emplacement of the Karoo large igneous province (LIP). Yet strikingly missing …

Palaeobotanical and geochemical evidence indicate a sudden rise in atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary, probably reflecting the combined effect …
