Zircons from claystones around the G–L boundary give identical within-error ages (ca. 260 Ma) to the Emeishan LIP.
Claystones around the G–L boundary have a silicic volcanic origin related to the Emeishan LIP.
Emeishan silicic volcanism occurred not only at the end, but also prior to the LIP's emplacement.
The total duration of the Emeishan igneous activity was no more than 1 m.y.
