The Triassic is bounded by two of the most severe biotic crises, but nevertheless this time was, for bivalves, both a recovery and a diversification period, and a moment to fully exploit some of their evolutionary novelties. ...

We analyze the Late Triassic extinction and Early Jurassic recovery of bivalve faunas within marine environments in the Atuel River area of the Neuquén Basin, Argentina. Data were collected from a hundred samples with ...

Premise of research. Numerous leaf remains of pteridosperms occur at a new locality of the Early Jurassic Cañadón Asfalto Formation, in Patagonia, Argentina. Fossils consist of adpressions with superb cuticular preservation ...

Diversity dynamics among bivalves during the Triassic and Early Jurassic provides the opportunity to analyse the recovery patterns after two mass extinctions: Permian/Triassic and Triassic/Jurassic (T/J). The results ...

Marine bivalve genera that were described or mentioned for Triassic and Lower Jurassic deposits worldwide are reviewed in terms of their validity, stratigraphic range, paleogeographic distribution, paleoautoecology and ...

Across the Triassic-Jurassic transition, an important change in atmospheric pCO2 was recorded, concomitant with the eruption and emplacement of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province and the splitting of Pangea. Upper ...

Palaeobiogeography is a complex subject which processes information provided by both Biology and Earth Sciences. It is conceptually and philosophically equivalent to neobiogeography. Nevertheless, its methods are somewhat ...
