Abstract
Carbon and oxygen isotope compositions were determined in the pedogenic, sedimentary, and organogenic carbonates from Upper Permian (Vyatkian Stage) and Lower Triassic (Induan Stage) continental rocks in the northeastern Moscow Syneclise. Variations of δ18O (18.0 to 29.1‰ SMOW) and δ13C (‒8.8 to 0.7‰ PDB) in them could be provoked both by regional climatic fluctuations and by perturbation of the global carbon cycle at the Permian‒Triassic boundary. Decrease of δ18O in pedogenic carbonates at the top of the Vyatkian Stage was likely caused by cooling on the northeastern side of Pangea. The negative excursion of δ13C values at this stratigraphic level correlates with the analogous excursion recorded in marine carbonates of the Paleo- and Neotethys and corresponds to the end-Permian biotic event.
