Abstract
Data on diversity and extinction as well as the development of certain environment-controlling parameters for the entire Phanerozoic are widely scattered in the literature. Therefore, selected Phanerozoic physical, chemical, and biological data are compiled herein in order to allow a comparison and the testing of their relevance for the causation of global events.
