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...

Climate change has exerted a major influence on the biosphere in historical times, altering the geographic range of many species and elevating the extinction risk in both marine and terrestrial realms. This study investigates marine community change during the major early Permian climatic transition from the late Paleozoic ice age to a largely ice-free greenhouse climate. Quantitative counts of...

During the Permian, major icehouse-greenhouse climate shifts and tectonic reconfiguration had important biogeographic implications, especially for climate-sensitive organisms such as fusulinids. Here we present multivariate methods on a global fusulinid species dataset including 1546 from 58 localities in Early (Asselian, Sakmarian, Artinskian Kungurian) Middle (Roadian, Wordian Capitanian) Per...

The Fistulipora microparallela (Yang and Lu, 1962) species is described for the first time from the Sakmarian deposits of the Sarab section in Lut Block, Central Iran. This species has been reported only from the Permian (Cisuralian-Guadalupian) of the Qilianshan and Kankerin formations, and the Baliqliq Group (Upper Carboniferous to Lower Permian) of Western Xinjiang, China.

Сведения о находках остатков рыб в нижнепермских отложения Башкирских шиханов единичны. Зубная спираль геликоприонида Shaktauites seywi была описана из отложений стерлитамакского горизонта сакмарского яруса шихана Шахтау. Из сакмарских и артинских Торатау упомянуты остатки эласмобранхиевых хрящевых рыб: симмориид, джалодонтида, анахронистидного синеходонтидного неоселяхов. Разнообразные изолиро...
