Competition in slow motion: the unusual case of benthic marine communities in the wake of the end‐Permian mass extinction (2015, background): “Revised U–Pb ages from the GSSP at Meishan (Burgess et al. 2014) indicate 60 48 ka duration for the interval between the main extinction horizon and the base of the Isarcicella isarcica zone, providing further evidence that the deposition time of the macrofaunal interval was most likely longer than ”
The Sixth Mass Extinction: fact, fiction or speculation? (2022, positive): “For instance, among the three stand-out events identi ﬁ ed by Bambach (2006), the end-Permian event lasted 60 ky (Burgess, Bowring & Shen, 2014), the end-Ordo-vician event ~0.2 Ma (Ling et al ., 2019), and the Cretaceous – Palaeogene event, associated primarily with asteroid impact and renowned for…”
