Evidence for a prolonged Permian–Triassic extinction interval from global marine mercury records
Previously, little direct evidence has been found to link large volcanic eruption events with the end-Permian mass extinction. Here, the authors find that mercury enrichment and isotope records in marine sections across the globe can be linked to increased volcanic activity, which resulted in the pr...
