The Late Triassic Succession of the Tamar Valley (Northern Julian Alps, Slovenia): Remarks and Implications for the Eastern Southern Alps Paleogeography
229 The Late Triassic succession of the Tamar Valley (northern Julian Alps, Slovenia): remarks and implications for the eastern Southern Alps paleogeography Gale, L.1, Celarc, B.1, Caggiati, M.2, Kolar-Jurkovšek, T.1, Jurkovšek, B.1, Gianolla, P.2 1 Geological Survey of Slovenia, Dimičeva ul. 14, SI-1000 Ljubljana (Slovenia) - [email protected] 2 University of Ferrara, Physics and Earth Science Dep. Via Saragat, 1 – 40122 Ferrara (Italy) Late Triassic paleogeography of the eastern Southern Alps (easternmost Italy, western Slovenia) is poorly resolved. In present reconstructions, the majority of the Julian Alps belongs to the Julian Carbonate Platform, marked by a thick Upper Triassic sequence of peritidal Dachstein Limestone. The platform was bordered to the south by the Slovenian Basin, and the Bled Basin was likely located at its eastern margin. Numerous short-lived basinal successions are known besides, testifying for a much more complicated morphology of the platform. The succession outcropping in the Tamar Valley (NW Slovenia) has been revisited. In the lower part it consists of the Julian peritidal Conzen Dolomite, followed by marlstone and marly limestone alternations of the Julian- lowermost Tuvalian Tor Fm. Facies association can be related to a shallow terrigenous-carbonate ramp environment, grading later in the shallow water, loose carbonate grain dominated system of the Portella Dolomite. At the top, a deepening-upwards trend is marked by bedded dolomites attributable to the Carnitza Fm., followed by bedded cherty dolomites, sometimes with slump breccia layers, of the Bača Dolomite. Conodont sampling and biostratigraphical analysis point to an Upper Tuvalian age for the lower basinal unit, and to an Upper Tuvalian to lowermost Rhaetian time span for the upper unit. -

Biostratigraphy and Palaeoenvironment of the Dinosaur-Bearing Sediments in Lower Cretaceous of Mazongshan Area, Gansu Province, China

The Xinminbao Group was deposited in a fluviolacustrine setting in Mesozoic graben basins under a semi-arid, subtropical climate. The fossil sites concentrated in the lower part of the group have yielded dinosaurs, mammals and other vertebrates that are comparable to the Aptian–Albian vertebrate assemblages that have been found in Mongolia and Siberia. Based on their invertebrate and vertebrate fossils, sediments of the lower part of the Xinminbao Group are considered to be Late Barremian–Aptian in age, although the middle and upper parts could be as young as Albian. The megafossil plants and conchostracans are comparable to those of the Yixian and Jiufuotang Formations in eastern China (Barremian–Aptian). The palynoflora is also comparable to that of the upper Lower Cretaceous elsewhere in northern China, although the presence of two angiosperm taxa, Asteropollis and Tricolpites, suggests that the main fossil sites are Albian. -
