Figure 3. Anomodont species diversity and the rock record.

Figure 3

a) Species diversity curve (NTOT/Δt) and the number of species informative formations (Nf/Δt) at the stage-scale, and b) species diversity curve excluding singletons (Ntot−NFL) and the number of species informative formations (Nf) at the 1-Ma-scale. Dotted lines indicate an artificial low in richness as a result of the gap in the fossil record of anomodonts in the late Early Triassic (Olenekian). Dashed lines indicate an artificially increased richness caused by the coarse correlation of Triassic anomodont faunas at the 1-Ma-scale.
