Feeding specializations in Late Triassic fishes

2005
The ichthyofauna of the Zorzino Limestone represents an important proof of the richness and variety reached by bony fishes during the Norian and, at the same time, it testifies the beginning of the faunal transition which will be realized during the Jurassic.

Late Permian to Late Triassic, Tethyan Paleoenvironments

1995
The development of giant, shallow, carbonate platforms characterizes the Late Murgabian paleoenvironment. Most of the reef buildups are located on the African—Arabian margin. The main terrigenous marine deposits are found on the northern margin of India and on northwest Australia.

Cyclic Change in Late Triassic Lacustrine Communities

Science, 1978
A new type of lake and shore assemblage has been found in the Late Triassic age rocks of North Carolina and Virginia (Dan River group). It includes abundant aquatic reptiles, fishes, at least seven orders of insects, crustaceans, and a diverse flora.

What really happened in the late Triassic?

Historical Biology, 1991
Major extinctions occurred both in the sea and on land during the Late Triassic in two major phases, in the middle to late Carnian and, 12–17 Myr later, at the Triassic‐Jurassic boundary. Many recent reports have discounted the role of the earlier event, suggesting that it is (1) an artefact of a subsequent gap in the record, (2) a complex turnover ...

Late Triassic Marine Reptiles

2017
During faunal recovery after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (PTME), several tetrapod lineages independently evolved adaptations to marine life. Thus reptiles became significant elements of marine environments already at the beginning of the Mesozoic Era. The emergence of a diverse assemblage of marine reptiles in the Triassic marked the development

Late Triassic Turtles from South America

Science, 1995
The discovery of Triassic (Norian) turtles from the northwest part of Argentina extends the South American record of turtles by 60 million years. Two skeletons, one almost complete, represent a new genus and species of a basal turtle,Palaeochersis talampayensis.

The Late Triassic Timescale

2017
The Upper Triassic chronostratigraphic scale consists of one Series, the Upper Triassic, divided into three stages (in ascending order)—Carnian, Norian and Rhaetian. Only the base of the Carnian currently has an agreed on GSSP (global boundary stratotype section and point), though agreement on GSSPs for the bases of the Norian and Rhaetian is imminent.

The Late Triassic aetosaur Paratypothorax

2006
Paratypothorax is a Late Triassic aetosaur known from Germany, Greenland, North Africa and the American Southwest. The few records in Germany are from the Stubensandstein, whereas the American recordshave a much longer stratigraphic range. The genus currently is monospecific, with the most complete specimens(which consist only of armor plates and ...

THE AERODYNAMICS OF THE BRITISH LATE TRIASSIC KUEHNEOSAURIDAE

Palaeontology, 2008
Abstract:  The Kuehneosauridae (Late Triassic, Britain, USA) had remarkable adaptations, most notably their elongate mid‐dorsal ribs that were presumably covered with a skin membrane in life. These lateral ‘wings’ have always been linked with some form of gliding adaptation, but quantitative studies have been limited.

Climate of the Late Devonian to Triassic

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1993
Abstract Remarkable changes are apparent in climate during Late Devonian-Triassic times. Mostly the climate was rather different from the present. The faunas and floras offer much evidence for understanding the climate but, in turn, understanding the palaeogeography of the faunas and floras is dependent on understanding the climate and the changes in
