In this chapter we deal mainly with volcanism in the Permo-Triassic boundary interval in South China, with brief reference to other parts of the Tethyan realm. In much of South China a level commonly regarded as the Permo-Triassic boundary is marked by the so-called'boundary clayrock', which is a layer of montmorillonite or interstratified montmorillonite and illite several centimeters to a few decimeters thick. The boundary clayrock is marine because it yields conodonts, ostracodes, foraminifera, and glauconite, and because its boron content is everywhere much higher than 100 ppm. It is at the level of the boundary clayrock that the strongest phase of Permo-Triassic mass extinction is recorded and it is also at this level that anomalous concentrations of 813C, iridium, and other elements have been reported.
