The exact drivers for the end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) remain controversial. Here we focus on a ~10,000 yr record from marine type section at Meishan, China, preceding and covering onset of EPME. Analyses polyaromatic hydrocarbons sampling intervals representing 1.5-6.3 reveal recurrent pulses wildfires in terrestrial realm. Massive input soil-derived organic matter clastic materials into oceans are indicated by patterns C2-dibenzofuran, C30 hopane aluminum. Importantly, ~2,000 years main phase EPME, observe clearly defined sequence wildfires, soil weathering, euxinia provoked fertilization environment with nutrients. Euxinia is sulfur iron concentrations. Our study suggests that, South centennial scale processes led to collapse ecosystem ~300 (120-480 yr; ± 2 s.d.) before EPME that this induced euxinic conditions ocean, ultimately resulting demise ecosystems.

Abstract Anomalous mercury (Hg) contents recorded near the Permian‐Triassic boundary (PTB) are often linked to Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province (STLIP) volcanism and mass extinction (PTBME). However, mounting evidence indicates that relation between STLIP Hg “anomalies” is not straightforward. This study focuses on timing provenance of volcanic fluxes around PTBME in South China. We constrain carbon isotope ( δ 13 C) concentration records by utilizing high‐precision U‐Pb zircon ages from two expanded deep‐water marine sections spanning Late Permian Early Triassic Nanpanjiang Basin. Results reveal episodes enrichment.

Abstract Expansion of oceanic anoxia is a prevailing hypothesis for driving the marine end-Permian mass extinction and mainly based on isotopic geochemical proxies. However, long-term redox conditions before remain unresolved. Here we report secular trend rock magnetic experiments cerium anomalies through Changhsingian across Permian-Triassic boundary at Meishan section, China. Magnetic mineral assemblages changed dramatically ca. 252.8 million years age (Ma), which indicates that deoxygenation started about 0.9 earlier than extinction. The magnetite-dominant post interval suggests ferruginous dysoxic with enhanced weathering in earliest Triassic. Also, gradual magnetite abundance decrease to pre-extinction levels observed 251.5 Ma, coinciding temporally waning Siberian Trap arc volcanism. All these observations demonstrate environmental deterioration began much finally collapsed end-Permian.

Abstract. Estimations of the reproducibility U–Pb ages from SHRIMP (Sensitive High-Resolution Ion MicroProbe) instruments are based on data studies that nearly 2 decades old.
