“…Payne and Kump (45) and Song et al (50) hypothesized that the large volatility in the carbon cycle that dominates the interval from the beginning of the Dienarian through the Spathian is distinct from the extinction interval represented at the GSSP and likely represents new injection of light carbon and global warming-driven anoxia related to continued activity of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province, ∼1 My after the extinction (Fig. 3).…”

Significance Mass extinctions are major drivers of macroevolutionary change and mark fundamental transitions in the history of life, yet the feedbacks between environmental perturbation and biological response, which occur on submillennial timescales, are poorly understood. We present a high-precision age model for the end-Permian mass extinction, which was the most severe loss of marine and terrestrial biota in the last 542 My, that allows exploration of the sequence of events at millennial to decamillenial timescales 252 Mya. This record is critical for a better understanding of the punctuated nature and duration of the extinction, the reorganization of the carbon cycle, and a refined evaluation of potential trigger and kill mechanisms.

“…The PTB volcanic ash layers and biological context 5.1.1. Temporal coincidence between the ash layer and the main extinction horizon In the GSSP Meishan section, the decline of bio-diversity started in the limestone of the uppermost Permian, whereas the most dramatic decline occurred at the base of Bed 25 and at the base of Bed 28 (Song et al, 2013; Fig. 1).…”

“…(2) Two layers of volcanic ash (Beds 25 and 28) in the Meishan GSSP section are exactly on the PTB extinction horizons (Figs. 1 and 3b) (e.g., Shen et al, 2011;Song et al, 2013;Xie et al, 2007;Yin et al, 2007Yin et al, , 2012 Bowring et al, 1998;Galfetti et al, 2007;Mundil et al, 2004;Shen et al, 2011). (4) As revealed by the temporal variation in the thickness of the ash layers from Zone A to Zone C (Fig.…”

“…Hance et al, 2011 Discussion. This group was previously denominated Biseriamminoidea but due to the poor definition and very rare re-findings of Biserammina Chernysheva, 1941, and to the establishment of phylogenetic lineages issued from Pseudotaxis Mamet, 1974b(Vachard et al, 2006Hance et al, 2011), the superfamily Globivalvulinoidea was translated and re-described by Hance et al (2011) according to the phylogenetic schemes of Gaillot and Vachard (2007 Gaillot, Vachard, Galfetti and Martini, 2009; see also the double PTB event of Song et al, 2011Song et al, , 2013. The Early Mississippian species, with a possible FAD in the late Tournaisian, are generally poorly known and need some revisions.…”
