Evidence from South Africa for a protracted end-Permian extinction on land
Earth's largest biotic crisis occurred during the Permo–Triassic Transition (PTT). On land,
this event witnessed a turnover from synapsid-to archosauromorph-dominated assemblages …

Glendonites throughout the Phanerozoic
Ikaite is a metastable calcium carbonate hexahydrate (CaCO3· 6H2O), which naturally
occurs in environments characterized by temperatures of− 2 to+ 7° C. It is therefore …
