Article Synopsis
- The end-Permian mass extinction marked the largest loss of biodiversity in Earth's history, with key data collected from sedimentary sections in South China to understand its timing and causes.
- High-precision U-Pb dating indicates the extinction peak occurred just before 252.28 million years ago, following a notable decline in carbon isotopes and correlated with significant δ(13)C changes.
- The extinction event, lasting under 200,000 years, affected both marine and terrestrial environments and was possibly triggered by a large release of carbon dioxide and/or methane, contributing to widespread wildfires.
