Abstract
The Permian-Triassic boundary was a time of lowered atmospheric oxygen and raised carbon dioxide pressure and massive vertebrate extinction. The levels of oxygen (12 vol%) and carbon dioxide (∼2000 ppmV) are typically tolerated by modern vertebrates and are not abnormal enough to have contributed significantly to the extinction.
