The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

The climate of the Triassic period was characterized by a non-zonal pattern, dictated by a
strong global monsoon system with effects that are most evident in the Tethys realm. This …

A new oxygen isotope (δ 18 O) record derived from conodont apatite reveals variable long-
term climate trends throughout the Triassic period. This record shows several major, first …

The Triassic is bound by two mass extinctions that coincide with vast outpourings of volcanic
flood basalts. The Mesozoic begins with a gradual recovery of plant and animal life after the …

Dinosaurs diversified in two steps during the Triassic. They originated about 245 Ma, during
the recovery from the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, and then remained insignificant until …

Background Lepidosauria (lizards, snakes, tuatara) is a globally distributed and ecologically
important group of over 9,000 reptile species. The earliest fossil records are currently …

Abstract The Carnian Pluvial Episode was a phase of global climatic change and biotic
turnover that occurred during the early Late Triassic. In marine sedimentary basins, the …

Abstract Many Middle-Late Triassic (Ladinian-Carnian) global and local humid climate
events that impacted on global palaeontological evolution and mineral distribution have …

Abstract In the early Late Triassic a period of increased rainfall, named the Carnian Pluvial
Event (CPE), is evidenced by major lithological changes in continental and marine …

The Triassic hothouse world experienced dynamic changes in climate and ecosystems that
set the Earth's climate and biotic states for much of the Mesozoic Era. A critical time interval …
