We conducted cyclostratigraphic analysis on the magnetic susceptibility from a deep marine carbonate succession in South China, to reconstruct the astrochronology of the late Early Permian, and to decipher evolutionary responses to astronomically forced climate changes in a marine diversity time series. Our results indicates that the minima of ~1.8 m.y. short orbital eccentricity amplitude modulation cycles led to seasonally stable precipitation patterns and a constant input of nutrients, which spurred marine biodiversity during this deglaciation. Synchronizing global biotic and abiotic records reveals that peaks of marine biodiversity occurred during nodes of ~1.3 m.y. obliquity amplitude modulation cycles, when ice sheet expansion triggered enhanced precipitation and organic carbon burial during icehouse conditions (290−285.1 Ma). Starting at 285.1 Ma, the insolation-biodiversity relationship began to change, paced by glacial termination and tropical aridification. With the transition to greenhouse conditions (~279.1−272 Ma), obliquity nodes became associated instead with terrestrial aridity and marine anoxia, and suppression of marine speciation. Our results bring into focus a pattern of shifting dynamics involving Earth’s astronomical parameters, climate change and marine biodiversity for icehouse and greenhouse worlds in the late Paleozoic Era.

Pike Texas Tech University, James Daniel Pike, August 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my advisor Dr. Dustin Sweet, who was an excellent advisor during this research. Dr. Sweet was vital throughout the whole process, be it answering questions, giving feedback on figures, and imparting his extensive knowledge of the ancestral Rocky Mountains on me; for this I am extremely grateful. Dr. Sweet allowed me to conduct my own research without looking over my shoulder, but was always available when needed. When I needed a push, Dr. Sweet provided it. I would like to thank my committee memebers, Dr. Lee and Dr. Lehman for providing feedback and for their unique perspectives. I would like to thank Jenna Hessert, Trent Jackson, and Khaled Chowdhury for acting as my field assistants. Their help in taking measurements, collecting samples, recording GPS coordinates, and providing unique perspectives was invaluable. Thank you to Melanie Barnes for allowing me to use her lab, and putting up with the mess I made. This research was made possible by a grant provided by the Colorado Scientific Society, and a scholarship provided by East Texas Geological Society.

To understand the evolution of these groups as well as other gymnosperms it was impossible without mentioning a frequently used term “megasporophyll”. “Megasporophyll” is a concept that has been used widely in botany. This term is more or less related with the famous saying “Alles ist Blatt” by Goethe. This term became popular since Arber and Parkin hypothesized that the carpels in the Magnoliales were equivalent to and derived from former foliar parts bearing ovules along their margins (“megasporophyll”). Many botanists uncritically called the parts in all the reproductive organs of seed plants as “sporophylls”, no matter what they actually saw in the plants. However, the fact is that none of the reproductive parts (fossil or living), except those in the Cycadales, are foliar or leaf-like.

Published compi- Keywords: lations indicate it occurred in two main phases, one centered in the Late Carboniferous (~315 Ma) and the other Late Paleozoic Ice Age in the Early Permian (~295 Ma), before waning over the rest of the Early Permian and into the Middle Permian Pangea A (~290 Ma to 275 Ma), and culminating with the final demise of Alpine-style ice sheets in eastern Australia in the Pangea B Late Permian (~260 to 255 Ma). Recent global climate modeling has drawn attention to silicate weathering CO2 Greater Variscan orogen consumption of an initially high Greater Variscan edifice residing within a static Pangea A configuration as the Equatorial humid belt leading cause of reduction of atmospheric CO2 concentrations below glaciation thresholds. Here we show that Silicate weathering CO2 consumption the best available and least-biased paleomagnetic reference poles place the collision between Laurasia and Organic carbon burial Gondwana that produced the Greater Variscan orogen in a more dynamic position within a Pangea B config- uration that had about 30% more continental area in the prime equatorial humid belt for weathering and which drifted northward into the tropical arid belt as it transformed to Pangea A by the Late Permian.
