The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the
major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of …

There are 174 confirmed impact structures known on Earth (eg, http://www. unb. ca/passc/

Abstract The Late Devonian was an epoch of dramatic evolutionary and environmental
changes linked primarily with the Frasnian-Famennian (FF) mass extinction. Current data …

Abstract The Frasnian–Famennian boundary records one of the most catastrophic mass
