Summary
Abstract: The data set consist of rocks samples, stratigraphic columns, and paleocurrent data.

This project studies fossils from two to three hundred million year old rocks in the Allan Hills area of Antarctica. Similar deposits from lower latitudes have been used to develop a model of Permo-Triassic climate, wherein melting of continental glaciers in the early Permian leads to the ... View entire text
