Astronomical age constraints and extinction mechanisms of the Late Triassic Carnian crisis

Abstract The geological record contains evidence for numerous pronounced perturbations in the global carbon cycle, some of which are associated with mass extinction. In the Carnian (Late Triassic), evidence from sedimentology and fossil pollen points to a significant change in climate, resulting in...
