Anomalous iridium enrichment at the Triassic–Jurassic boundary, Blomidon Formation, Fundy basin, Canada

Multiple Ir anomalies in uppermost Triassic to Jurassic-age strata of the Blomidon Formation, Fundy basin, eastern Canada

Magnetic 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 ...

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...

Chronology and stratigraphy of the Fundy and related Nova Scotia offshore basins and Morocco based on core and outcrop

The Late Triassic age Blomidon Formation consists nearly entirely of massive gypsiferous mudstone and sandstones arranged into distinctive sand patch cycles, many of which show various salt dissolution features. Identical Late Triassic, cyclical, largely clastic facies are widespread in Morocco, on the conjugate margin to Nova Scotia, where Blomidon-like strata frequently pass in the subsurface...

A 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...
