Gondwana's Apparent Polar Wander Path during the Permian-new insights from South America
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-12)
A long-standing debate regarding the configuration of Pangea during the Late Paleozoic has been going on among the paleomagnetic community concerning the validity of one of two significantly different Pangea reconstructions ...
Triassic turtles from Pangea: The legacy from South America
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-01)
The Triassic is a key period in turtle evolution for three main reasons: First, the oldest fully shelled body-fossil records of the clade Testudinata come from Late Triassic (Norian) rocks. Second, tracks attributed ...
Geomagnetismo Jurásico, zonas de subducción de Pangea y anomalías en la velocidad de ondas sísmicas en el límite Manto-Núcleo
(Asociación Argentina de Geofísicos y Geodestas, 2005-12)
En un trabajo anterior se sugirió una posible correlación entre polos geomagnéticos virtuales (PGV’s) jurásicos tempranos intermedios registrados en una sección en la garganta de Breggia (Suiza) y la ubicación estimada de ...
Styles of Thought on the Continental Drift Debate
(Springer Netherlands, 2019-03)
The continental drift controversy has been deeply analysed in terms of rationalist notions, which seem to find there a unique topic to describe the weight of evidence for reaching consensus. In that sense, many authors ...
South American Crocodylomorphs (Archosauria; Crocodylomorpha): a review of the early fossil record in the continent and its relevance on understanding the origins of the clade
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Crocodylomorpha is a clade that has its origins during the Late Triassic and attained a global distribution early in their radiation. In this context, although limited to few geological units, the South American record has ...
Paleomagnetism of Upper Triassic rocks in the Los Colorados hill section, Mendoza province, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-12)
Different authors have highlighted a systematic disagreement between Late Carboniferous-Triassic paleomagnetic poles (PPs) for Gondwanaland and Laurasia when they are repositioned in a classical reconstruction prior to the ...
A pure dipole analysis of the Gondwana apparent polar wander path: Paleogeographic implications in the evolution of Pangea
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-04)
The paleogeography of prebreakup Pangea at the beginning of the Atlantic Spreading has been a subject of debate for the past 50 years. Reconciling this debate involves theoretical corrections that cast doubt on available ...
The Apparent Polar Wander Path for South America during the Permian-Triassic
(Elsevier Science, 2009-04)
Many of the controversies that arise in global reconstructions for Permian-Triassic time could be resolved by taking into account the large latitudinal and counter-clockwise movement of Gondwana during that interval of ...
Quebrada de la Sal magnetoestratigraphic section, Los Colorados Formación, Upper Triassic Ischigualasto-Villa Unión basin, Argentina
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2011-11)
Ischigualasto-Villa Union basin is a continental rift developed in southwestern quarter of Pangea throughout the Triassic. Los Colorados Formation, its youngest stratigraphic unit, is formed by a continuously succession ...
The paleoclimatic context for South American Triassic vertebrate evolution
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-10)
The Triassic Period was the setting for the origin and early diversification of Mesozoic ecosystems after the end-Permian mass extinction. The study of the Triassic is essential to understand the evolution of non-marine ...
