Early Permian during the Variscan orogen collapse in the equatorial realm: insights from the Cantabrian Mountains (N Iberia) into climatic and environmental changes

Early–middle Permian ecosystems of equatorial Pangaea: Integrated multi-stratigraphic and palaeontological review of the Permian of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean)

“…Tetrapod tracks' above), such as Hyloidichnus, Dromopus, Pachypes and Dimetropus (although some are missing in certain sections) and correspond to fluvial palaeoenvironments and playa lake deposits (Gand & Durand, 2006;Mujal et al, 2016;López-Gómez et al, 2019b). Those units show a trend towards semi-arid conditions in the late Cisuralian and Guadalupian, as demonstrated by the study of palaeosols and geochemical proxies (Michel et al, 2015;compare Mujal et al, 2017a, andMujal et al, 2018;López-Gómez et al, 2021). In fact, by the middle Permian, most basins of central Pangaea have evidence of arid climates (Schneider et al, 2006;Tabor & Poulsen, 2008;De la Horra et al, 2012;Michel et al, 2015).…”
