Climate simulations of the Permian‐Triassic boundary: Ocean acidification and the extinction event
[1] The causes for the Permian‐Triassic Boundary (PTB) extinction, the largest mass extinction on record, remain enigmatic. The period is marked by large‐scale volcanic eruptions and evidence for widespread ocean anoxia, which have led to suggestions that these events generated, or played a part in, the extinction. Furthermore, hypercapnia and ocean acidification caused by volcanic emissions of...

متن کاملCold climate in the eastern Australian mid to late Permian may reflect cold upwelling waters
A suite of ice-rafted dropstones and glendonites throughout the Permian succession of eastern Australia indicates the cold climate associated with the late Paleozoic ice age persisted longest in this part of Gondwana. Paradoxically, these cold climate indicators are preserved in transgressive and highstand facies and formed at mid to high latitudes at a time when paleofloral and sedimentologica...
متن کاملThe end-Permian extinction
The end Permian extinction was the greatest mass extinction of the Phanerozoic Era. It impacted marine and terrestrial plants and animals. Although the rate of the extinction has been controversial in the past, recent evidence suggests that the extinction progressed in two pulses approximately 5-12 million years apart. The second pulse of the extinction is marked by a sharp temperature spike an...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives on the Permian–Triassic boundary and end-Permian mass extinction: Preface
The end-Permian mass extinction is now robustly dated at 252.6 ± 0.2 Ma (U–Pb) and the Permian–Triassic (P–T) GSSP level is dated by interpolation at 252.5 Ma. An isotopic geochronological timescale for the Late Permian–Early Triassic, based on recent accurate high-precision U–Pb single zircon dating of volcanic ashes, together with calibrated conodont zonation schemes, is presented. The durati...
