Centennial scale sequences of environmental deterioration preceded the end-Permian mass extinction

Abstract The exact drivers for the end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) remain controversial. Here we focus on a ~10,000 yr record from the marine type section at Meishan, China, preceding and covering the onset of the EPME.
