Vegetation Mortality in the Kaimai Ranges, North Island, New Zealand!

Areas ofvegetation mortality have been recognized in the upland forests of the Kaimai Ranges, North Island, New Zealand. The mortality is not confined to any particular vegetation type, but occurs above a critical altitude that differs at different points along the ranges. The mortality is episodic and has occurred at intervals over a period of several hundred years, with severe droughts implic...

The nonmarine Triassic–Jurassic boundary in the Newark Supergroup of eastern North America

For the last three decades, the position of the Triassic–Jurassic boundary (TJB) in nonmarine strata has largely been based on its palynostratigraphic placement just below the oldest basalts of the Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP) in the Newark Supergroup of eastern North America. This boundary, however, is demonstrably older than the TJB as it is defined in marine strata. Thus, the pa...

A New Aquatic Eosuchian from the Newark Supergroup ( Late Triassic - Early Jurassic ) of North Carolina and Virginia Paul Eric

Tanytrachelos ahynis (n.gen., n. sp.) is a lepidosaur from the Late Triassic Dan River Group (Newark Supergroup) of North Carolina and Virginia. The new reptile has gracile proportions similar to Tanystropheus (Middle Triassic) and is referred to the family Tanystropheidae of the suborder Prolacertiformes. Unlike Tanystropheus, Tanytrachelos has relatively short cervical vertebrae bearing splin...
