Popis: The Permian was a period of waning large-scale continental glaciations in the southern Hemisphere. The waning of these ice sheets during the Early Permian led to discharge of 18O-depleted ice–melt water into the oceans. This, coupled with rising seawater temperatures, resulted in a concomitant decline of about 2.5‰ in the δ18O of seawater, as recorded by brachiopod shells from low-latitude (
