Exceptional vertebrate biotas from the Triassic of China, and the expansion of marine ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (2013, methodology): “…were three or four bursts of sudden global warming after the PTB, during the 5–6 Myr of the Early to early Middle Triassic, associated with consequent atmospheric heating, acid rain, landscape stripping, ocean acidification, and seabed anoxia (Payne et al., 2004; Retallack, 2012; Sun et al., 2012).”
A review of the evolution, biostratigraphy, provincialism and diversity of Middle and early Late Triassic conodonts (2016, background): “New findings from the Ziri area of Slovenia confirm its age as Early Triassic and its taxonomic assignment to the genus Platyvillosus (Chen et al. unpub. data).”
High-precision timeline for Earth’s most severe extinction (2014, background): “Sea surface paleotemperature increases ∼10 °C (∼23–33 °C) over the extinction interval (9, 33), beginning near the base of bed 25 and continuing into the early Triassic (Fig.”
