Permian Coal Forest offers a glimpse of late Paleozoic ecology.
L ittle evokes a sense of wonder about the past like moments frozen in time: the contorted bodies of Pompeii’s horrified citizens fixed in their final poses, the footprints of an ancient hominin family cemented on an African savanna, the tracks of a Jurassic predator closing in on unsuspecting prey along a muddy riverbank, or tree stumps from an ancient Carboniferous rainforest buried in place ...
متن کاملProlonged Permian Triassic ecological crisis recorded by molluscan dominance in Late Permian offshore assemblages.
The end-Permian mass extinction was the largest biotic crisis in the history of animal life, eliminating as many as 95% of all species and dramatically altering the ecological structure of marine communities. Although the causes of this pronounced ecosystem shift have been widely debated, the broad consensus based on inferences from global taxonomic diversity patterns suggests that the shift fr...
متن کاملTime-calibrated Milankovitch cycles for the late Permian
An important innovation in the geosciences is the astronomical time scale. The astronomical time scale is based on the Milankovitch-forced stratigraphy that has been calibrated to astronomical models of paleoclimate forcing; it is defined for much of Cenozoic-Mesozoic. For the Palaeozoic era, however, astronomical forcing has not been widely explored because of lack of high-precision geochronol...
متن کاملCould the Late Permian deep ocean have been anoxic
Models ofocean circulation and biogeochemical cy les are used to speculate bout possible m chanisms of deep-sea anoxia across the Pertoo-Triassic boundary. Two modes of likely Late Permian ocean thermohaline circulation are identified: a vigorous "therm',d mode" driven by cooling in southern polar latitudes and aweaker "haline mode" driven by evaporation fromthe subtropics. We find that the the...
متن کاملHypoxia, global warming, and terrestrial late Permian extinctions.
A catastrophic extinction occurred at the end of the Permian Period. However, baseline extinction rates appear to have been elevated even before the final catastrophe, suggesting sustained environmental degradation. For terrestrial vertebrates during the Late Permian, the combination of a drop in atmospheric oxygen plus climate warming would have induced hypoxic stress and consequently compress...
