“…Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of the Permian-Triassic interval have primarily focused on the period of time surrounding the PTME (e.g., Wignall and Twitchett, 1996;Lehrmann et al, 2003;Thomas et al, 2004;Algeo et al, 2007;Son et al, 2007;Grasby and Beauchamp, 2009;Bond and Wignall, 2010;Brookfield et al, 2010;Liao et al, 2010;Richoz et al, 2010;Varol et al, 2011). Only a handful of studies have produced continuous environmental records across the entire Lower Triassic interval of environmental instability at the regional or local scale (e.g., Shen et al, 2015;Lau et al, 2016;Grasby et al, 2021;Ishizaki and Shiino, 2023;Saito et al, 2023).…”
