Stratigraphic Geology (study of layered rock) Sedimentation Stratum (singular) Beds = strata > 1 cm Lamina(e) = stratum(a) < 1 cm Lithification Fossils

Characteristics of a ME Brief relative to the expected duration of the taxa Involve considerable numbers of taxa

Proposed Agents of Mass Extinctions Changes in climate and sea level (marine regression). Asteroid impacts (especially K/T).

Stanley’s research on bivalves during Pleistocene cold adapted: no change warm adapted: no change Gulf stream cold adapted: no change warm adapted: declined Glacier Climate Change

Marine Regression Continental shelf: loss of habitat refuges Current sea level Conical island: no loss of habitat

Marine Regression 87% of recent marine families have > 1 species in shallows. Expected extinction with refuges: = 13%. Observed extinction of families: 52% (Permian). Conclusion: marine regression is not the only cause of mass extinction (Jablonski).

Climate Change Evidence There were major glaciations at the beginning of the Ordovician and Devonian ME’s. No major glaciations accompanied the Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous ME’s. Another major glaciation, ca. 300 million years ago, and lasting 90 million yrs, did not result in an ME. Tentative Conclusion: glaciations might cause extinctions in marine invertebrates, but are not currently regarded as a necessary cause for ME’s.
