• Exceptional vertebrate biotas from the Triassic of China, and the expansion of marine ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (2013, background): “These sections have been studied intensively for the past 30 years, and they now offer high-precision dating throughout, not least because the global standard sections for the Permo-Triassic boundary (PTB) are there (Yin et al., 2001; Shen et al., 2011).”
• High-precision timeline for Earth’s most severe extinction (2014, background): “The section at Meishan has long been recognized as being highly condensed, implying that calculated sediment accumulation rates may not accurately account for hiatuses between dated ash horizons (3).”
• The peril of dating beetles (2017, background): “…(95% CI) of 288.28 to 271.89 Ma, and the crown age of Coleoptera was estimated for the Late Permian c. 252.89 Ma (95% CI: 267.68 to 238.78 Ma), supporting the view that beetles originated before and survived through the End-Permian Mass Extinction that occurred c. 252 Ma (Shen et al., 2011).”
