Abstract:The Paleo-Tethys and Panthalassa are two major oceans that witnessed the
end-Permian mass extinction, and they have been suggested to have
distinct compositions, with the Paleo-Tethys Ocean euxinic, and the much
larger Panthalassa Ocean being largely ventilated. Distinctions of these
two once-connected oceans imply that interactions between them must have
been restricted shortly before the end-Permian extinction. However,
detailed geological processes for the disconnection between them along
the eastern Paleo-… Show more
