Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to create such a magnificent informative site. I’ve read a few good stuff here.

The therapsids were the dominant land animals of the period. The archosaurs didn't arrive in bulk until the Triassic. Interesting about the LIPs and extinctions. Odd too that impacts seem associated with both as well. Got to wonder if there's something to the idea that impacts trigger an LIP formation event, or the alternative view that an LIP supervolcano can launch a "Verne Shot" that produces an impact crater?

Weren't they the dominant Permian terretrial group? “amphibians and archosaurs (proto-dinosaurs) roamed the land”
