Permian, Oasis and A Life

Terrestrial 'life oasis' from end-Permian mass extinction period discovered in China
A new study reveals that a region in China's Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium, or "life oasis," for terrestrial plants during the end-Permian mass extinction, the most severe biological crisis since the Cambrian period.

Refuge from the worst mass extinction in Earth's history discovered fossilized in China
The End-Permian mass extinction killed an estimated 80% of life on Earth, but new research suggests that plants might have done okay.
'Life oasis' in China: Fossil site reveals plants survived Earth's deadliest extinction 252 million years ago
A groundbreaking discovery in China's Turpan-Hami Basin suggests that some terrestrial ecosystems remained largely unaffected by the catastrophic end-Permian mass extinction, offering fresh insight into the resilience of life in Earth's darkest period.
Scientists discover a ‘life oasis’ that survived Earth’s deadliest mass extinction
The end-Permian mass extinction, which struck around 252 million years ago, was the most devastating biological crisis in Earth's history. Over 80% of marine species disappeared, leaving the oceans nearly lifeless.
Chinese fossil site suggests land plants survived Earth’s worst mass extinction
A recently uncovered fossil location in China’s Turpan-Hami Basin suggests that some terrestrial ecosystems were only marginally affected by the most cataclysmic extinction event in Earth’s history, the end-Permian mass extinction.
