Fossils of the Pusige Formation #worldresearchawards #researchaward #researcher #pusigeformation

The Permian Pusige Formation offers a remarkable window into Earth’s deep past, capturing critical geological, environmental, and biological changes that occurred more than 250 million years ago. In this video, we explore how the Pusige Formation preserves evidence of ancient climates, shifting ecosystems, and the dynamic processes that shaped our planet during the late Paleozoic era.

Composed mainly of sedimentary rocks such as sandstones, shales, and carbonates, the Pusige Formation records cycles of marine transgressions, river deposition, and climatic fluctuations. These layered deposits reveal how environments changed from shallow seas to coastal plains, helping scientists reconstruct paleogeography and long-term climate evolution. Fossil remains within the formation—including plants, invertebrates, and microfossils—provide crucial clues about life just before the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history.

Geochemical signatures preserved in the rocks, such as stable isotopes and trace elements, allow researchers to infer ancient ocean chemistry, atmospheric composition, and temperature trends. Together with stratigraphic and paleontological data, these chemical fingerprints help paint a detailed picture of the environmental stresses and transformations that preceded the end-Permian extinction event.

By studying the Pusige Formation, scientists gain insights not only into Earth’s past but also into its future. Understanding how ancient ecosystems responded to climate shifts and environmental pressures can inform modern research on climate change and biodiversity loss. Join us as we unveil the secrets locked within the Permian Pusige Formation and discover how ancient rocks continue to tell the story of our evolving planet.
