Popis: We report high-resolution, high-precision δ44/40Ca, δ88/86Sr, and 87Sr/86Sr records spanning the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) from the Meishan and Dajiang carbonate successions in south China. The goal of the study was to understand the behavior of Ca and Sr isotopes during a time period in Earth history characterized by severe biological and environmental perturbations, including a major mass extinction, flood basalt volcanism, ocean acidification, and sea level fluctuations. Dajiang displays negative δ44/40Ca and δ88/86Sr excursions and invariant 87Sr/86Sr ratios in the
