Data on rocks from Spitsbergen and the equatorial sections of Italy and Slovenia indicate that the world's oceans became anoxic at both low and high paleolatitudes in the Late Permian. Such conditions may have been responsible for the mass extinction at this time. This event affected a wide range of shelf depths and extended into shallow water well above the storm wave base.
来自斯瓦尔巴群岛以及意大利和斯洛文尼亚赤道地区岩石的数据表明，在二叠纪晚期，全球海洋在低古纬度和高古纬度地区均出现缺氧现象。这种情况可能是导致当时大规模灭绝事件的原因。这一事件影响了广泛的陆架深度范围，并延伸至远高于风暴浪基面的浅水区域。
