The end-Permian mass extinction is the greatest biotic crisis in Earth history causing the
extinction of a large number of marine and terrestrial animals globally. However, how land …

This study reviews plant species richness and abundance change from the End Permian to
Middle Triassic in South China and examines the co-evolutionary relationship between the …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

The Triassic is bound by two mass extinctions that coincide with vast outpourings of volcanic
flood basalts. The Mesozoic begins with a gradual recovery of plant and animal life after the …

The Permian-Triassic mass extinction severely depleted biodiversity, primarily observed in
the body fossil of well-skeletonized animals. Understanding how whole ecosystems were …

The current model for the end-Permian terrestrial ecosystem crisis holds that systematic loss
exhibited by an abrupt turnover from the Daptocephalus to the Lystrosaurus Assemblage …

Mounting evidence indicates that the orbital period of the solar system's movement through
the Milky Way has had a controlling effect on processes of the Earth's system throughout the …

A precise global timescale for the Lower Triassic Series is essential to understand the
sequence of events following the end-Permian mass extinction. A crucial step toward …

Abstract The Guryul Ravine section in Kashmir, northern India is an important reference
section for global Lower Triassic stratigraphy. Once a candidate Global Stratotype Section …

The division of geological time is of general interest as this allows a better understanding of
the geological processes and Earth's evolutionary history. Astrochronology provides a way …
