Non-marine Boundary Events in the Newark Basin: IGCP 458 1 Field Guide for Non-marine Boundary Events in the Newark Basin (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut), Eastern United States and their Litho-, Chrono- and Biostratigraphic Context
نویسنده
چکیده
This field guide is intended to familiarize participants of IGCP 458 with the aspects of the Newark and Hartford rift basins relevant to the non-marine Triassic-Jurassic boundary and its larger context. We will visit 27 stops that illustrate these the basins' range of sedimentary and igneous environments and paleobiological assemblages, focusing on their significance to the understanding of global events around the Triassic-Jurassic boundary.

متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملCorrelation of the Early Mesozoic Newark Supergroup by Vertebrates, Principally Fishes
New data on the distribution of fossil fish together with floral and tetrapod evidence are used to develop an internal correlation of the strata of the early Mesozoic Newark Supergroup of eastern North America. Within the Newark, we recognize five informal biostratigraphic zones, each characterized by a particular fish fauna. These fish zones are then related to other Mesozoic freshwater deposi...

Background and Objectives: ?????? Methods: ?????? Findings: ?????? Conclusion: ????? The present study is the first study aimed at biostratigraphy based on calcareous nannoplankton that has been performed on all succession exposed from the Oligo-Miocene marine deposits (members a to f of the Qom Formation). The studied deposits are located in the middle part of the Central Iran Zone and m...
متن کاملTriassic–Jurassic boundary events: Problems, progress, possibilities
As for most geological period boundaries, the Triassic–Jurassic (T–J) transition, ∼200 million years ago, was a critical juncture in Earth history during which profound biotic and environmental changes took place. Early comparisons with the end-Cretaceous extinction and the involvement of extraterrestrial impact have now largely, although not entirely, given way to more Earthbound explanations ...
