Sa strate se divise en quatre séquences tectonostratigraphiques (ST). La première est représentée par la formation de Honeycomb Point, datant vraisemblablement du Permien, et peut-être par la formation de Lepreau. La deuxième comprend la formation de Wolfville ainsi que le membre d’Economy, datant vraisemblablement du Trias moyen, et le membre d’Evangeline,

New early Jurassic tetrapod assemblages constrain Triassic-Jurassic tetrapod extinction event.
The discovery of the first definitively correlated earliest Jurassic (200 million years before present) tetrapod assemblage (Fundy basin, Newark Supergroup, Nova Scotia) allows reevaluation of the duration of the Triassic-Jurassic tetrapod extinction event. Present are tritheledont and mammal-like reptiles, prosauropod, theropod, and ornithischian dinosaurs, protosuchian and sphenosuchian croco...
متن کاملDistribution and Paleoecology of the Middle Jurassic Foraminifera from Eastern Alborz (Goznawwi section)
Analysis of benthic foraminiferal assemblages was performed in Callovian deposits of the Farsian Formation Northeastern Alborz; Iran. The sequence of Callovian at the Goznawwi area consists mainly of soft marls , which contain high-diversity calcareous assemblages. In this foraminiferal succession nine morphogroups were differentiated according to shell architecture (general shape, mode of coil...
متن کاملA Diapsid Faunule from the Lower Jurassic Of
provide a test for the hypothesis of faunal change at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary recently proposed by OLSEN and SUES (1986). They are remarkable for the numerical abundance and quality of preservation of the bones, the lithological diversity of fossil-bearing deposits, and the excellent degree of stratigraphic resolution. The vertebrate remains from the McCoy Brook Formation currently repre...
متن کاملMagnetic polarity stratigraphy and paleolatitude of the Triassic^Jurassic Blomidon Formation in the Fundy basin (Canada): implications for early Mesozoic tropical climate gradients
A magnetic polarity stratigraphy is established for a continuously cored 360 m thick section of the entire cyclical lacustrine sequence and part of the sandy fluvial and eolian basal sequence of the Late Triassic Blomidon Formation in the Fundy basin in Nova Scotia (Canada). In conjunction with published results for the Newark and Dan River basins, the Fundy basin record allows us to precisely ...
متن کاملA Review of the Reptile and Amphibian Assemblages from the Stormberg of Southern Africa, with Special Emphasis on the Footprints and the Age of the Stormberg
The Molteno, Elliot, and Clarens formations comprise the continental Stormberg Group of the Karoo Basin of South Africa and Lesotho. The Molteno Formation contains a well preserved macroand microfloral assemblage but apparently no vertebrates; the Elliot and Clarens formations contain abundant vertebrates but virtually no floral remains. The vertebrate taxa represented by skeletal remains are l...
