Global Triassic Tetrapod Biostratigraphy and Biochronology: 2007 Status
The global Triassic timescale based on tetrapod biochronology remains a robust tool for both global and regional age assignment and correlation. The Lootsbergian and Nonesian land-vertebrate faunachrons (LVFs) are of Early Triassic age; cross correlation of part of the Lootsbergian to the Olenekian and all or part of the Nonesian to the Anisian lacks support. In the South African Karoo basin, b...
متن کاملTriassic Lithostratigraphy and Biostratigraphy North of Currie, Elko County, Nevada
The Triassic section north of Currie in southern Elko County, Nevada, is almost 500 m thick and is assigned to the Thaynes Group and overlying Shinarump Formation of the Chinle Group. The Thaynes Group disconformably overlies the Permian Gerster Formation and is mostly calcareous shale with interbedded wackestones that yield marine invertebrate fossils, especially ammonoids. The Shinarump Forma...
متن کاملBiogeochemical signatures preserved in ancient siliceous sediments; new perspectives to Triassic radiolarian bedded chert compositions
Major and minor elements of successively collected 70 Middle Triassic radiolarian bedded cherts from the Mino Belt in central Japan were studied. In order to reveal pre-diagenetic, primary geochemical signatures related to marine biogeochemical cycles, composite data of chert-shale couplets in addition to raw data were examined. The results show that Mn, Cu, Sr, Ba and P were supplied significa...
متن کاملTetrapod Biostratigraphy and Biochronology across the Triassic-jurassic Boundary in Northeastern Arizona
Nonmarine fluvial, eolian and lacustrine strata of the Chinle and Glen Canyon groups in northeastern Arizona and adjacent areas preserve tetrapod body fossils and footprints that are one of the world’s most extensive tetrapod fossil records across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. We organize these tetrapod fossils into five, time-successive biostratigraphic assemblages (in ascending order, Owl R...
متن کاملMicro- and Small Vertebrate Biostratigraphy and Biochronology of the Upper Triassic Chinle Group, Southwestern Usa
A long-term goal of vertebrate biostratigraphers is to construct a microvertebrate biostratigraphy for lower Mesozoic rocks that complements and extends the mammal-based biostratigraphy in place for Upper Cretaceous-Recent deposits. Here we report substantial progress toward achieving this goal based on the distribution of microvertebrate fossils in the Upper Triassic Chinle Group of the wester...
