Journal ArticleDOI

Christopher R. Fielding,Tracy D. Frank,Stephen McLoughlin,Vivi Vajda,Chris Mays,Allen P. Tevyaw,Arne M.E. Winguth,Cornelia Winguth,Robert S. Nicoll,Malcolm Bocking,James L. Crowley +10 more
TL;DR: A multi-proxy Permo-Triassic record from Australia is reported, resolving the timing of local terrestrial plant extinction and the relationship with environmental changes, andPalaeoclimate modelling suggests a moderate shift to warmer summer temperatures and amplified seasonality in temperature across the EPE, and warmer and wetter conditions for all seasons into the Early Triassic.
Journal ArticleDOI
End-Permian (252 Mya) deforestation, wildfires and flooding—An ancient biotic crisis with lessons for the present
Vivi Vajda,Stephen McLoughlin,Chris Mays,Tracy D. Frank,Christopher R. Fielding,Allen P. Tevyaw,Veiko Lehsten,Malcolm Bocking,Robert S. Nicoll +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a centimeter-resolution palynological, sedimentological, carbon stable isotope and paleobotanical investigations of strata spanning the end-Permian mass-extinction event at the Frazer Beach and Snapper Point localities, in the Sydney Basin, Australia was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Refined Permian–Triassic floristic timeline reveals early collapse and delayed recovery of south polar terrestrial ecosystems
Chris Mays,Vivi Vajda,Tracy D. Frank,Christopher R. Fielding,Robert S. Nicoll,Allen P. Tevyaw,Stephen McLoughlin +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify six palynostratigraphic zones within the uppermost Permian to Lower Triassic succession, corresponding to discrete vegetation stages before, during, and after the EPE interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pushing the limits of neutron tomography in palaeontology: Three-dimensional modelling of in situ resin within fossil plants
TL;DR: Computed tomography is an increasingly popular technique for the non-destructivestudy of fossils as mentioned in this paper, which has greatly matured since its first X-ray computed tomography (CT) applications.
