Mesozoic paleogeography and facies distribution in the Northern Mediterranean Tethys from Western Carpathians view

West Carpathian Mesozoic paleogeographic development indicates the effect of a left lateral shift of the Alpine- Carpathian microcontinent along the European shelf since the Early Jurassic. The evolution during Late Triassic/Early Jurassic was controlled by convergence along the border of the Meliata Ocean and by contemporaneous divergence along the Middle Atlantic/Penninic rift. During Mid-Cre...

Turonian Oceanic Red Beds in the Eastern Alps: Concepts for palaeoceanographic changes in the Mediterranean Tethys

Several transitions of Lower to Middle Turonian pelagic marl–limestone-cycles into Oceanic Red Beds were studied at high resolution to gain a better understanding of the Tethyan marine system before and during red bed initiation and development. Samples were analysed for mineralogy, geochemistry, and stable isotope composition. In particular, carbonate geochemistry of diagenetically largely una...
