Consequently, the onset of the Accepted: 18 September 2019 T-OAE has been linked to the combined effects of global warming, high productivity, basin First published online: 13 December 2019 restriction and salinity stratification. However, the processes that led to termination of the event Keywords: remain elusive. Here, we present palynological data from Arctic Siberia (Russia), the Viking Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event; dinoflagellate Corridor (offshore Norway) and the Yorkshire Coast (UK), all spanning the upper cysts; carbon isotopes; Mesozoic; Pliensbachian – upper Toarcian stages.

An extension built in the 1860s added a large gallery and mezzanine level with further gallery and storage space added in the 1980s. Collections are onsite in displays and a main storeroom. Size of collections 1,000-1,200 fossils. Onsite records Information is in an Adlib CMS database transcribed from several previous electronic systems and various paper documents, such as MDA and other index card systems, Gift Books, Accession Registers, free text catalogues, inventories and listings. Fossils are catalogued with other geological material as a series of numbered boxes with a list compiled in the 1980s by James Williams (1944- 2009). An online catalogue is available at: https://dgc-web.adlibhosting.com/home but does not yet contain fossil entries. Collection highlights 1. Permian vertebrate trackways from Locharbriggs and Corncockle quarries linked to Reverend Henry Duncan (1774-1846) and former curator Alfred Truckell (1919-2007).

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: OCTOBER. 1985 Abstract The lithostratigraphy and Pliensbachian ammonite fauna of a sequence of Pliensbachian to Bajocian sedimentary rocks, informally referred to here as the Spatsizi Group, from the Spatsizi map-area (104 H) in north-central British Columbia are examined in this thesis. Twenty Five species of ammonites representing fifteen genera from Pliensbachian rocks of the Spatsizi Group are described and their stratigraphic ranges in the thesis area determined. The Spatsizi fauna is comprised primarily of ammonites of Tethyan aspect and also contains elements endemic to the East Pacific faunal realm.

  • Prehistoric Reptile One Mile Above Mccarthy, Alaska in Wrangell-St
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Paleontological Resource Inventory and Monitoring Central Alaska Network Natural Resource Technical Report NPS/NRSS/NRTR—2011/510 Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST) was originally proclaimed as a national monument on December 1, 1978. Two years later, on December 2, 1980, the monument was established as a national park and preserve, and a large portion of this expansive park was designated as wilderness. Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve represents the largest area of the National Park System and encompasses 5,332,106 ha (13,175,901 acres), larger than nine states and more than twice the land area of Maryland. The park represents 3,368,263 ha (8,323,148 acres) and the preserve represents 1,963,842 ha (4,852,753 acres). Three mountain ranges, the Chugach, Saint Elias, and Wrangell, converge within the park to form what is commonly referred to as the “mountain kingdom of North America.” The park includes the continent’s largest assemblage of glaciers and the greatest collection of peaks above 4,570 m (15,000 ft) in elevation. Mount Saint Elias is the second highest peak in the United States standing at 5,488.8 m (18,008 ft) above sea level. Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve was also designated a World Heritage Site on October 24, 1979. WRST is surrounded by other federal and provincial areas both in Alaska and Canada. To the south the park is Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (see the Southeast Alaska Network Paleontological Resource Inventory Report; Santucci and Kenworthy 2008).

Current tirne scales disagree on age estirnates for Jurassic stage boundaries and carry large uncertainties. The U-Pb ~r"~~r-"~rdating of voIcaniclastic rocks of preciseiy known biochronologic age is the preferred method to improve the calibtation. Eighteen new U-Pb zircon dates were obtained on volcaniclastic rock from Surassic volcanic arc assemblages of the North American Cordillera. The voIcanic rocks are interbedded in fossiliferous marine sedimenq rocks, which in mm were dated by ammonite biochronology at the zona1 level. In the Queen Charlotte Islands, a tuff Iayer directly beneath the Triassic-Jurassic boundary was dated at 200I1 Ma.
