The Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) crisis caused major short-term perturbations in ocean chemistry, as recorded by the precipitation of anachronistic carbonates. Here, we document for first time a global dolomitization event during transition based on Mg/(Mg + Ca) data from 22 sections with distribution representing shallow- to deep-marine environments. Ten these show high ratios bracketing PTB, recording spike dolomite formation. consists mainly micron-scale anhedral subhedral crystals...
Examination of Lower Triassic carbonate rocks from around the world has revealed resurgence atypical carbonates that were last common during Proterozoic (‘anachronistic facies’). Anachronistic facies are attributed to a combination post-extinction paleoecologic factors and widespread, harsh environmental conditions, particularly presence anoxic, alkaline waters in global ocean. The marine Moenkopi Formation (Virgin Limestone) southern Nevada laterally equivalent deep-water limestones Union...
Abstract The nature of Phanerozoic carbonate factories is strongly controlled by the composition carbonate‐producing faunas. During Permian–Triassic mass extinction interval there was a major change in tropical shallow platform facies: Upper Permian bioclastic limestones are characterized benthic communities with significant richness, for example, calcareous algae, fusulinids, brachiopods, corals, molluscs and sponges, while lowermost Triassic carbonates shift to dolomicrite‐dominated...

Introduction: The eruption of the Siberian Traps near Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) resulted in rapid input vast amounts CO 2 into atmosphere and subsequent development a hothouse climate across much Early Triassic. distribution environmental stresses led to complex recovery as survivors navigated high SSTs shallow settings an expanded OMZ that impinged upon continental shelves.
