Middle Jurassic Radiolarians from the Western Pacific
نویسنده
چکیده
Middle Jurassic radiolarians have been recovered from the western Pacific for the first time. The oldest faunas are assigned to the middle and upper Tricolocapsa conexa Zone, indicating a Bathonian/Callovian age. The faunas contain more than 30 species and are characterized by an abundance of small nassellarians with a constricted distal end. The faunas compare well with Tethyan faunas, and are especially similar to Japanese faunas.

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...
متن کاملSediment mixing in the tropical Pacific and radiolarian stratigraphy
[1] The reworking of older radiolarian microfossils into near-surface sediments of the tropical Pacific has long been the source of confusion for the development of radiolarian stratigraphy and of puzzlement over the mechanism(s) that could effect such pervasive reworking. Widespread dissolution “pits” in the sediments of the tropical Pacific are believed to be associated with hydrothermal circ...
