Abstract: Various catastrophic and/or episodic events have been suggested to have caused the end-Permian mass extinction close to the Permo-Triassic Boundary (PTB). The theories and extinction-scenarios are however predominantly based on the sedimentary rock record and fossil record of the Northern Hemisphere – the Southern Hemisphere and in particular the fossil fish record worldwide being least well explored. In this second of four contributions we briefly present a little-known meteorite-impact crater relatively close to the PTB on the border of the States of Goiás and Mato Grosso in central west-Brazil. We discuss the occurrence of neighbouring Permian sedimentary rocks, a selection of accessible outcrops, fossil content and their potential to contribute to the discussion around the end-Permian extinction event. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRAKT
Verschiedene katastrophenhafte und/oder episodische Ereignisse sind als Ursachen für das Massenaussterbe- Ereignis am Ende des Perms in der Nähe der Perm-Trias-Grenze (PTB) vorgeschlagen worden. Die Theorien und Aussterbe-Szenarien gründen allerdings mehrheitlich auf dem Sedimentgestein- und Fossilbeleg der Nordhemisphäre, während die Südhemisphäre und speziell der fossile Fisch-Beleg weltweit am wenigsten gründlich erforscht sind. In diesem zweiten von vier Beiträgen stellen wir einen wenig bekannten Meteoriten-Einschlagkrater relativ nahe der PTB an der Grenze der Staaten Goiás und Mato Grosso im zentralen West-Brasilien vor. Wir diskutieren das Auftreten benachbarter permischer Sedimentgesteine, eine Auswahl zugänglicher Aufschlüsse, Fossilinhalte und ihr Potential zur Diskussion um das Aussterbe-Ereignis am Ende des Perms beizutragen.
