Oxygenation in carbonate microbialites and associated facies after the end-Permian mass extinction: Problems and potential solutions

Carbonate sediments deposited in normally-oxygenated shallow ocean waters of the latest Permian period, immediately prior to the end-Permian mass extinction, contain well-developed diverse shelly faunas. After the extinction of these skeletal metazoans, the sediments commonly comprise microbialites...
