The Smithian-Spathian boundary (SSB) transition was recently identified as a major biocrisis on the road to marine ecosystem recovery following the end-Permian mass extinction. Marine anoxia is hypothesized to have played an important role in the SSB biocrisis. However, an understanding of the relationship of this biocrisis to contemporaneous marine redox conditions has been hampered by limited knowledge of the timing, duration, and extent of anoxia during the Smithian-Spathian (S-S) transition. Here, we present a high-resolution carbonate U-isotope record from the Jiarong section of South China that spans the mid-Smithian to mid-Spathian interval. This record shows persistent negativeδ238U values (averaging −0.56‰) in the late Smithian, followed by a rapid positive shift (from −0.78‰ to −0.10‰) across the SSB, and then a more gradual shift back to lower δ238U values in the early to mid-Spathian. U isotope mass balance modeling suggests that the global area of anoxic seafloor expanded strongly during the late Smithian and the early to mid-Spathian but contracted sharply during the S-S transition. This redox pattern shows an excellent correspondence to previously published tropical sea-surface temperature (SST) records, with peak oceanic anoxia coinciding with the Smithian Thermal Maximum (STM) and diminished anoxia during a pronounced global cooling event at the SSB. Although paleontological records commonly do not distinguish between terminations during the late Smithian and SSB, we hypothesize that the SSB biocrisis, which was marked by sharp diversity losses among conodonts, ammonoids, and other marine invertebrates, was primarily associated with the STM, in which case oceanic anoxia is likely to have been a major stressor of mid-Olenekian marine biotas.
