Age and pattern of the southern high-latitude continental end-Permian extinction constrained by multiproxy analysis
Past studies of the end-Permian extinction (EPE), the largest biotic crisis of the Phanerozoic,
have not resolved the timing of events in southern high-latitudes. Here we use palynology …
