Abstract The Weissert Event ~133 million years ago marked a profound global cooling that punctuated the Early Cretaceous greenhouse. We present modelling, high-resolution bulk organic carbon isotopes and chronostratigraphically calibrated sea surface temperature (SSTs) based on an paleothermometer (the TEX 86 proxy), which capture in semi-enclosed Weddell Sea basin, offshore Antarctica (paleolatitude ~54 °S; paleowater depth ~500 meters). document ~3–4 °C drop SST coinciding with cold end,...
ABSTRACT The Triassic–Lower Jurassic succession of the Southern Alps is characterized by rapid thickness changes, from an average about 5000 m east Lago Maggiore to 500 in Western Alps. stratigraphy reflects Triassic evolution Tethyan Gulf and Early rifting responsible for Middle break‐up Adria Europe. starts with Lower Permian volcanics directly covered Anisian sandstones. top overlying Ladinian dolostones (300 m) records subaerial exposure karstification. Locally (Gozzano), Upper...
Abstract Diverse and relatively well preserved palynological assemblages from five outcrop sections sampled in the Numidian Flysch of northern Tunisia are presented discussed. They provide valuable information for age determination correlation within succession. The dinoflagellate cyst zonation scheme Wilpshaar et al. (1996) Oligocene through earliest Miocene central Mediterranean area is successfully applied. basal portion Flysch, which exhibits a faulted contact with underlying units,...
Organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts and calcareous nannofossils recovered from the turbidites of Saraceno Formation outcropping in type area (north-eastern Calabria, Italy) are presented. They provide new information about age Formation, hence a constraint to reconstruct timing deformations that affected Liguride Complex. The distribution succession studied is compared with biostratigraphies available for Upper Cretaceous. Accordingly, lowermost part Fiumara section latest Albian Turonian,...

Shale samples from the volcaniclastic turbidites ascribed to Tusa Tuffite Formation (Tufiti di Auct .) cropping out at Canale Candela section (Calabro-Lucano boundary, southern Italy) have yielded rich, diverse and well-preserved palynomorph calcareous nannofossil assemblages. They allow consistent recognition of both dinoflagellate cyst zones previously defined in bio- magnetostratigraphically well calibrated pelagic sequences central northern Apennines. Thus they give a first order...
Rich and well preserved palynological assemblages recovered from two outcrop sections in the Monte Soro Flysch (Nebrodi Mountains, NE Sicily, Italy) are documented discussed. They provide new valuable information for age determination correlation within this turbidite unit type-area. The dinoflagellate cyst zonation scheme established Lower Cretaceous western Mediterranean region, is successfully applied to lower portion of sampled at Vallone Rosmarino, ranging latest Valanginian Late...
Original biostratigraphic and sedimentologic data concerning the type-section of Albidona Formation (Liguride Complex, Southern Apennines, Italy) are presented discussed. Since its definition in 1962, this lithostratigraphic unit has been object controversial interpretations terms age attribution paleotectonic significance. Based on cross-observations performed calcareous nannofossils palynomorphs, we conclude that must be assigned to Eocene and, based these evidences, make a review previous...
Summary The reconstruction of the depositional history Paleogene succession from wells drilled in Area 4, offshore Mozambique, was carried out by interpreting paleoecological signals integrated paleontological and non-paleontological datasets. A high-resolution biostratigraphic framework realized. Empirical indices based on palynomorphs, foraminifera calcareous nannofossils were derived this study with lithological log curves mineralogical dataset. Inferences made terms paleo-temperature,...
Rich and well preserved organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages recovered from the Scisti a Fucoidi Formation at Piobbico, central Italy are presented. Distributions of 83 taxa, plotted against independent stratigraphic framework established planktonic foraminifers nannofossils, compared with ranges documented in literature order to identify calibrate reference horizons for Albian stratigraphy Tethyan Realm. The following events have been selected: lowest occurrences...
The study of palynomorphs and calcareous nannofossils recovered from the volcano-arenitic succession outcropping at Troina Cerami (Sicily) documents Rupelian assemblages comparable to those published for Tusa Tuffite. This new evidence, combined with petrographic, geochemical sedimentological affinities documented in literature, eventually proves genetic relationships between these units. Accordingly, name Troina-Tusa Formation is proposed include all lower Oligocene volcano-sedimentary...
Abstract The acritarch Polygonium jurassicum sp. nov. is proposed for polygonomorph acritarchs with a surface ornament of hollow spines. It the second species described from Jurassic sediments. reported lower Toarcian sediments central Italy and northwest Greece; stratigraphic range compared ammonite calcareous nannofossil zonations.
