Dynamic anoxic ferruginous conditions during the end-Permian mass extinction and recovery
The end-Permian mass extinction, ∼252 million years ago, is notable for a complex recovery period of ∼5 Myr. Widespread euxinic (anoxic and sulfidic) oceanic conditions have been proposed as both extinction mechanism and explanation for the protracted recovery period, yet the vertical distribution of anoxia in the water column and its temporal dynamics through this time period are poorly constr...
متن کاملMarine anoxia and delayed Earth system recovery after the end-Permian extinction.
Delayed Earth system recovery following the end-Permian mass extinction is often attributed to severe ocean anoxia. However, the extent and duration of Early Triassic anoxia remains poorly constrained. Here we use paired records of uranium concentrations ([U]) and (238)U/(235)U isotopic compositions (δ(238)U) of Upper Permian-Upper Triassic marine limestones from China and Turkey to quantify va...
متن کاملThe tempo of mass extinction and recovery: the end-Permian example.
Mass extinctions are brief episodes of greatly increased extinction, commonly affecting both marine and terrestrial species. Since the origin of animals some 600 million years ago, there have been at least six major mass extinctions. The disappearance of the dinosaurs during the end-Cretaceous mass extinction 65 million years ago is perhaps the best known event, but the end-Permian (ca. 251 mil...
متن کاملEffects of soil erosion and anoxic–euxinic ocean in the Permian–Triassic marine crisis
The largest mass extinction of biota in the Earth's history occurred during the Permian-Triassic transition and included two extinctions, one each at the latest Permian (first phase) and earliest Triassic (second phase). High seawater temperature in the surface water accompanied by euxinic deep-intermediate water, intrusion of the euxinic water to the surface water, a decrease in pH, and hyperc...
متن کاملPhotic zone euxinia during the Permian-triassic superanoxic event.
Carbon and sulfur isotopic data, together with biomarker and iron speciation analyses of the Hovea-3 core that was drilled in the Perth Basin, Western Australia, indicate that euxinic conditions prevailed in the paleowater column during the Permian-Triassic superanoxic event. Biomarkers diagnostic for anoxygenic photosynthesis by Chlorobiaceae are particularly abundant at the boundary and into ...
