Age and pattern of the southern high-latitude continental end-Permian extinction constrained by multiproxy analysis

The continental record of the end Permian mass extinction is limited, especially from high paleolatitudes. Here, Fielding et al. report a multi-proxy Permo-Triassic record from Australia, resolving the timing of local terrestrial plant extinction and the relationship with environmental changes.
