Interest in palustrine carbonates and calcretes has increased over the last 20 years since
they contain significant environmental information. Much of the work performed in this area …

Accelerated biotic turnover during the Late Triassic has led to the perception of an end-
Triassic mass extinction event, now regarded as one of the “big five” extinctions. Close …

U-Pb ages for 1655 individual detrital zircon grains in 18 samples of eolian and associated
marine and fluvial sandstones of the Glen Canyon and San Rafael Groups from the …

Integration of detrital zircon studies with data on biostratigraphy, isopachs, facies, and
paleocurrents can improve reconstructions of paleogeography for ancient fluvial systems. U …

The formation of carbonate sediments in continental environments is subject to numerous
environmental controls, of which climate is one of the foremost. Consequently, calcareous …

This book provides an up-to-date compilation of the latest research on the petrography,
facies, paleonvironmental significance and economic aspects of continental carbonates. The …

Abstract The Triassic/Jurassic boundary, 208 million years ago, is associated with
widespread extinctions in both the marine and terrestrial biota. The cause of these …

A synergistic model based on reciprocal influences between biotic and abiotic factors is
developed for the Triassic of southwestern Gondwana. Changes in physical environment …

Miocene alluvial and fluvial-lacustrine deposits comprising three lignite successions (Lower,
Middle, and Upper) are exposed in the Soma coalfield in Western Anatolia. The total …

This chapter presents a review of trace-fossil assemblages from carbonate sediments
deposited in continental settings, including carbonate-rich paleosols, lacustrine and eolian …
