A reduction in body size (Lilliput effect) has been repeatedly proposed for many marine
organisms in the aftermath of the Permian–Triassic (PT) mass extinction. Specifically …

Limestone–marl alternations are commonly used for high‐resolution cyclostratigraphic

The encrustation of Paleozoic rhynchonelliform brachiopods has been studied for decades,
