The end-Triassic mass extinction was one of the big five crises of the fossil record. It affected
diverse marine groups, including bivalves, brachiopods, ostracods, calcareous algae …

Accelerated biotic turnover during the Late Triassic has led to the perception of an end-
Triassic mass extinction event, now regarded as one of the “big five” extinctions. Close …

The origin of plants and their colonization of land fundamentally transformed the terrestrial
environment. Here we elucidate the basis of this formative episode in Earth history through …

Advances in sequence stratigraphy and the development of depositional models have
helped explain the origin of genetically related sedimentary packages during sea level …

Current chemostratigraphical studies of the Jurassic System primarily involve the use of one
sedimentary component (marine organic carbon), one divalent transition metal substituted in …

There were three negative seawater strontium-isotope excursions (shifts to lower^ 87^ Sr/^
86^ Sr values) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous that were of relatively short duration (5 …

We present an integrated geomagnetic polarity and stratigraphic time scale for the Triassic,
Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods of the Mesozoic Era, with age estimates and uncertainty …

Ammonites underwent an evolutionary diversification after the mass extinction of the end
Triassic induced by the formation of a Large Igneous province (LIP), and this group provides …

Secular records of the elemental and isotopic composition of belemnite calcite were studied
in Pliensbachian and Toarcian sections from the Yorkshire coast, UK, and Southern …

Detailed sampling and analysis of Jurassic pelagic limestones and marls from Italy, Hungary
and Switzerland have enabled construction of an isotope stratigraphy across the …
