New Fossils Suggest Land Life Bounced Back Faster Than Expected After End-Permian Mass Extinction
Fossil findings from the Heshanggou Formation in North China indicate that land ecosystems recovered faster than expected following the end-Permian extinction. While previous estimates suggested a prolonged uninhabitable phase, new research shows riparian zones may have stabilised within a shorter timeframe. Burrowing activity and plant regrowth su...
