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 …

The latest Triassic was an interval of prolonged biotic extinction culminating in the end-
Triassic Extinction (ETE). The ETE is now associated with a perturbation of the global carbon …

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 …

The Triassic was a time of diversification of the global floras following the mass-extinction
event at the close of the Permian, with floras of low-diversity and somewhat uniform aspect …

Conodonts are biostratigraphically very important microfossils in the Upper Triassic,
occurring in different marine habitats, from deep-ocean to shallow-shelf waters. Because of …

This paper is the final description of the Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point
(GSSP) for the base of the Carnian Stage after its ratification in the Spring of 2008 by the …

We obtained bulk-sediment δ 18 O and δ 13 C data from biostratigraphically-constrained
Tethyan marine sections at Aghia Marina (Greece), Guri Zi (Albania), and Brumano and …

New taxonomic and biostratigraphic investigations on the late Carnian to Rhaetian (Upper
Triassic) conodonts from the Pizzo Mondello section (Western Sicily, Italy, Sicano basin) are …

Abstract The End-Triassic Extinction event (ETE) has been recognized in numerous sections
worldwide and it is usually marked by three negative carbon isotope excursions (NCIEs) …
