Paleo-oil reservoir pyrolysis and gas release in the Yangtze Block imply an alternative mechanism for the Late Permian Crisis

Chengyu Yang et al.

Summary: Volcanic activity was found to be a key factor in the Late Permian crisis, leading to the global mass extinction that occurred around the Permian-Triassic boundary. Through geochemical analysis of a paleo-oil reservoir in the Yangtze Block, researchers detected rapid pyrolysis of accumulated oil, resulting in the release of greenhouse gases. The study suggests that this thermal event was most likely triggered by the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP).

Methane-dominated gaseous inclusions in the Sinian carbonate reservoirs in central Sichuan Basin and their implications for natural gas accumulation

Xing Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence and genetic origins of gaseous inclusions in the Sinian carbonate reservoirs of the Anyue gas field in central Sichuan Basin. By analyzing three types of gaseous inclusions with different compositions and homogenization temperatures, the research traced the oil and gas accumulation history in the region. The findings indicate distinct origins for the gaseous inclusions, providing valuable insights into the evolution of oil and gas reservoirs in the area.

Carbon Isotope Chemostratigraphy Across the Permian-Triassic Boundary at Chaotian, China: Implications for the Global Methane Cycle in the Aftermath of the Extinction

Masafumi Saitoh et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of methane release associated with the Siberian Traps volcanism during the end-Permian extinction on the global methane cycle, and analyzes the carbon isotopic composition variations at Chaotian, South China. The research suggests that changes in marine carbon isotopic composition may be influenced by factors such as primary productivity collapse and volcanic activity.

Felsic volcanism as a factor driving the end-Permian mass extinction

Hua Zhang et al.

Summary: Felsic volcanic activities made significant contributions to the end-Permian environmental changes, causing extreme copper and mercury enrichments and potentially leading to rapid cooling degrees before or synchronously with global warming. The new geochemical data suggest that the Siberian Traps large igneous province may not have been the sole trigger for the end-Permian mass extinction.

Six-fold increase of atmospheric pCO2 during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction

Yuyang Wu et al.

Summary: The Permian-Triassic mass extinction was characterized by a massive release of carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system, with atmospheric pCO2 increasing by a factor of six during this event as shown by a new record of C-3 plants from southwestern China.

The Influence of the Permian-Triassic Magmatism in the Tunguska Basin, Siberia on the Regional Floristic Biota of the Permian-Triassic Transition in the Region

V. I. Davydov et al.

Summary: The eruption of the Siberian Large Igneous Province is thought to have caused the end-Permian extinction event, although there are clear discrepancies between different datasets. The diversity of flora in the Tunguska Basin increased rapidly after the onset of the SLIP, reaching a rich species level during the basalt eruption and intrusive activity.

Massive methane fluxing from magma-sediment interaction in the end-Triassic Central Atlantic Magmatic Province

Manfredo Capriolo et al.

Summary: The study provides evidence that widespread release of methane during the end-Triassic mass extinction was caused by the interaction between a Large Igneous Province and sedimentary host-rocks, contributing to the global climate changes responsible for the extinction event.

Pulsed volcanic combustion events coincident with the end-Permian terrestrial disturbance and the following global crisis

Kunio Kaiho et al.

Summary: The eruption of the Siberian Traps large igneous province (LIP) is believed to have triggered both terrestrial and marine ecosystem crises, with discrete volcanic eruptions potentially causing the terrestrial crisis followed by the marine crisis in a short period of time. Using coronene and mercury spikes as proxies can help pinpoint the timing and impacts of LIP emplacement more accurately.
