This is a well-written important paper on the recovery of fauna and flora following the end-Permian extinction event in several continental sites in northern China. The convincing conclusion, a rapid ...
The new study deciphered the single-most greatest mass extinction on Earth driven by a natural calamity that still exists.
Dinosaurs evolved from more primitive reptiles in the aftermath of Earth’s biggest mass-extinction event caused by extreme ...
Dinosaurs evolved from more primitive reptiles in the aftermath of Earth's biggest mass-extinction event caused by extreme volcanism at the end of the Permian Period about 252 million years ago.
and paleontology reveals how changes in ocean chemistry have contributed to mass extinctions. When ocean temperatures rise or oxygen levels drop, marine life suffers. Fossil records show that during ...
FIGURE 3. Stratigraphic distribution of patterns of ∑REE, δEu, δCe and Zr/Hf in all coal samples from Yantang Mine, Xuanwei, Yunnan. FIGURE 5. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns of the tonsteins in the ...
These ancient arthropods have survived multiple mass extinction events, including the famous Permian-Triassic extinction. Their unique and efficient physiology, including a hardy exoskeleton and a ...
We hope to have demonstrated that trying to compare or equate the end-Permian marine invertebrate mass extinction in terms of taxonomic diversity dynamics with the Permo-Triassic plant biotic crisis ...
