Permian climate development in the northern peri-Tethys area — The Lodève basin, French Massif Central, compared in a European and global context

Integrated multi-stratigraphic study of the Coll de Terrers late Permian–Early Triassic continental succession from the Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula): A geologic reference record for equatorial Pangaea

“…Therefore, the thin-bedded sandstone layers would correlate with maximum monsoonal periods and the thick mudstone intervals would correlate with periods of reduced monsoonal activity. Similar monsoonal systems are those of the Salagou formation from the French Lodève Basin Schneider et al, 2006), although these deposits have recently been dated as early-middle Permian (Michel et al, 2015).…”

“…The sizable decrease of quartz contents in the upper URU is possibly related to reduced chemical weathering (see also Williams et al, 2012), as this mineral is more resistant than feldspars and rock fragments (Coney et al, 2007). In turn, analcime occurs both as a primary mineral in alkaline igneous rocks but can also be authigenically formed (Remy and Ferrell, 1989;Schneider et al, 2006). The latter is the most possible origin of this mineral in Coll de Terrers, as no signals of igneous rocks have been found in the succession.…”

“…The Permian and Triassic periods are characterised by large continental landmasses resulting from the formation of Pangaea, which enhanced global aridity and red-beds deposits (Gibbs et al, 2002;Chumakov and Zharkov, 2003;Roscher and Schneider, 2006;Schneider et al, 2006;Looy et al, 2016;Kustatscher et al, 2017). The Permian-Triassic record has been largely studied, mostly with the aim of unravelling the events that triggered the major biological crisis of Earth's history, i.e., the end-Permian mass extinction (Erwin, 1994).…”

Sedimentary facies of Carboniferous–Permian mid‐oceanic carbonates in the Changning–Menglian Belt, West Yunnan, Southwest China: Origin and depositional process

“…These occurrences both on the Panthalassan and Tethyan ocean islands as well as on continental shelves, indicate that the peritidal dolo‐mudstone was formed under the influence of a worldwide environmental condition including low‐amplitude, slow sea‐level change (Ross & Ross 1987) and arid climates (Parrish 1995; Korte et al. 2006; Schneider et al. 2006).…”

The sphenacodontid synapsid Neosaurus cynodus, and related material, from the Permo-Carboniferous of France

“…The Viala Formation was dated of 289.3 ± 6.7 Ma using U-Pb radiometric dating(Schneider et al 2006), a long interval ranging from the late Asselian to the early Kungurian (International Commission on StratigraphyFig. 2.…”
