First, we show that geochemical signals indicate superexponential growth of the marine inorganic carbon reservoir, coincident with the extinction and consistent with the expansion of a new microbial metabolic pathway. An open access paper on their research is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
