Large igneous province (LIP) eruptions are increasingly considered to have driven mass
extinction events throughout the Phanerozoic; however, uncertainties in radiometric age …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic (Early Devonian to Middle Permian) was an interval of profound
changes in Earth-surface systems, reflected in dynamic interplay among the biosphere …

Although the prime causation of the Late Devonian Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) mass
extinction remains conjectural, such destructive factors as the spread of anoxia and rapid …

Volcanism is a dominant natural source of mercury (Hg) to the atmosphere, biosphere,
ocean and sediments. In recent years, sedimentary Hg contents have emerged as a tool to …

Widespread oceanic anoxia marked by globally extensive deposition of organic-rich black
shale during the Late Devonian was a major factor in the mass extinctions at the Frasnian …

There is an unexplained terrestrial mass extinction at the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary
(359 million years ago). The discovery in east Greenland of malformed land plant spores …

Abstract The Late Devonian (383-359 Ma) was a time of prolonged climate instability with
catastrophic perturbation of global marine ecosystems at the Frasnian-Famennian (FF) and …

The expansion of land plants is considered to have played a key role in triggering the Late
Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), but evidence linking climatic events to terrestrial floral changes is …

A wide range of various proxies (eg, mineralogy, organic carbon, inorganic geochemistry, C
and Mo isotopes, and framboidal pyrite) were applied for interpretation of changing oceanic …

Abstract The Late Devonian biodiversity crisis, one of the big five Phanerozoic diversity
depletions, is composed of a series of extinction events broadly coincident with the invasion …
