Fluvial sequence stratigraphy and paleoclimate of the Upper Triassic (Norian-Rhaetian) Chinle Strata, northern New Mexico.
Two age-equivalent Upper Triassic (Norian and Rhaetian) fluvial successions in New Mexico were evaluated from a sequence-stratigraphic and paleopedologic perspective. Meter-scale fining-upward fluvial aggradation cycles (FACs) comprise fluvial aggradational cycle sets (FACSETs) 4-15 m thick. …

Revision and description of Keuper (Middle Ladinian to Rhaetian) invertebrate trace fossils from the southern part of the Germanic Basin and studies of related material
The invertebrate trace fossils from the Keuper (Upper Triassic) of the southern part of the Germanic Basin are revised. The Keuper sediments of the Germanic Basin are predominantly composed of rocks representing various nonmarine environments dominated by red-bed facies. The Würzburg Formation, the …

NEARING THE END: REEF BUILDING CORALS AND BIVALVES IN THE LATE TRIASSIC AND COMPARING CORALS AND BIVALVES BEFORE AND AFTER THE END-TRIASSIC MASS EXTINCTION USING A TAXONOMIC DATABASE
… corals and bivalves. During the Norian and Rhaetian (Late Triassic), corals and bivalves had high diversity and abundance, but like many organisms involved in the mass extinction, quickly disappeared at the end of the Triassic. In the early Jurassic, very few surviving species of corals can …

Marine Deoxygenation Predates the End-Triassic Mass Extinction Within the Equatorial Panthalassa and its Influence on Marine Ecosystems Before the Biotic Crisis
… in the upper Norian, peaks near the Norian-Rhaetian boundary (NRB; ~208.5), and declines through the ETME and into the Hettangian. Throughout this interval, iron speciation data show persistent anoxic conditions and occasional euxinia occurred in the local bottom waters. We propose that the …

Discovering the last Triassic giant: Insights from the marine Late Triassic of Nevada and a new ichthyosaur locality from New York Canyon, Nevada, USA.
… of in-situ vertebrate fossils from the latest Rhaetian in New York Canyon (NYC) in the Gabbs Valley Range of Nevada, provides clear evidence of the persistence of giant ichthyosaurs into the latest Rhaetian. Previous studies have reported isolated ichthyosaur elements from NYC, but these have …

Biodiversity crisis and recovery during the Triassic-Jurassic greenhouse interval: testing ocean acidification hypotheses
The Late Rhaetian (Late Triassic) extinction event is characterised by shelled species showing a reduction in size, and thickness, which together with changed mineralogy is thought to be as a result of increased atmospheric pCO2 levels. Similar morphological changes have been demonstrated for …

INTEGRATING SEDIMENTOLOGY, STRATIGRAPHY, GEOCHEMISTRY AND 3D GEOLOGICAL MODELLING: CONTRIBUTION TO GEOLOGICAL MAPPING FOR LAND KNOWLEDGE (CARG SHEET 081 ¿ROVERETO¿)
… the present PhD thesis focuses on the Rhaetian(?)-Tithonian carbonate succession of the Trento Platform, one of the Jurassic structural highs of the Western Tethys Ocean, cropping out in the Folgaria plateau and in the Pasubio Massif areas (Trentino-Alto Adige region, N Italy). The …
