Constraints on the continental weathering feedback on carbon-cycle perturbations on northern Pangea during the end Triassic extinction (ETE) are sparse. Here, the authors use hyperspectral core imaging (HSI) applied to conglomeratic beds offshore central Norway which shows that enhanced degassing of basalt flows from the Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP) was concurrent with intense continental transformation during the ETE.
