Extinction of species, and even clades, is a normal part of the macroevolutionary process. However, several times in Earth history the rate of species and clade extinctions increased …
Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes …
The sources of isotopically light carbon released during the end-Triassic mass extinction remain in debate. Here, we use mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopes from a pelagic …
Abstract The Triassic–Jurassic transition, which is here broadly defined as extending from the Late Triassic through the Early Jurassic (~ 237 Ma to 174 Ma), was an important interval …

Methane (CH4) emissions induced by Large Igneous Provinces have the potential to contribute to global environmental changes that triggered mass extinctions in Earth's history …
Exceptional magmatic events coincided with the largest mass extinctions throughout Earth's history. Extensive degassing from organic-rich sediments intruded by magmas is a possible …
To better constrain the age and duration of the magmatism associated with the Karoo large igneous province (LIP), we present new U-Pb ID-TIMS dates and εHf values from …
Abstract Emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) is thought to have triggered global environmental changes and the end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) …
Zircon occasionally crystallizes in evolved melt pockets in mafic large igneous province (LIP) magmas, and in these cases, it is used to provide high-precision age constraints on LIP …
