Abstract
Sedimentary records from the northwest margin of Pangea and the Tethys show anomalously high Hg levels at the latest Permian extinction boundary. Background δ 202 Hg values are consistent with normal marine conditions but exhibit negative shifts coincident with increased Hg concentrations. Hg isotope mass-independent fractionation (Δ 199 Hg) trends are consistent with volcanic input in deep-water marine environments. In contrast, nearshore...
