1. 1. Record of the end-Triassic mass extinction in shallow marine carbonates: the Lorüns section (Austria)

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Linus Brakebusch; [2022]
   Keywords : sedimentology; geochemistry; ooids; oolites; oncoids; oncolites; Triassic; Jurassic; Rhaetian; Hettangian; ocean acidification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) was one of the five big mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic and occurred ~201 Ma ago. Research agrees that the main triggering factor for the ETE was the eruptions of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Volcanic Province (CAMP), linked to the break-up of the supercontinent Pangaea.

3. 2. Oolites from the Arabian platform: Archives for the aftermath of the end-Triassic mass extinction

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Johannes Greiff; [2021]
   Keywords : sedimentology; carbonates; geochemistry; oolites; ooids; thrombolites; microbialites; Triassic; Jurassic; Hettangian; extinction; United Arab Emirates; Wadi Ghalilah; Wadi Milaha; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETME) which occurred around 201 Ma is known as one of “the big five” mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic eon. Its effects were most severe on marine ecosystems, resulting in a global decline of invertebrate taxa and the complete extinction of the conodonts. READ MORE

4. 3. Sedimentary Factories and Ecosystem Change in the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary Interval : Insights from the Skåne Area (Southern Sweden)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Paleobiologi

   Author : Gustav Nesset Mattsson; [2021]
   Keywords : CAMP; microbial structures; End-Triassic extinction event; sedimentary structures; MISS; Triassic-Jurassic boundary; CAMP; mikrobiella strukturer; Trias-jura-utdöendet; sedimentära strukturer; MISS; Trias- juragränsen;

   Abstract : The End-Triassic Extinction (ETE) has long remained one of the lesser known among the so-called “Big Five”. There exist several hypotheses regarding the probable cause of this extinction, which can mainly be divided into  events of  a decline in the rate of diversification  in the late Triassic contra a sudden and significant extinction event.

5. 4. Lithofacies analysis and heterogeneity study of the subsurface Rhaetian-Pliensbachian sequence in SW Skåne and Denmark

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Samer Bou Daher; [2012]
   Keywords : Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone; Höllviken Halfgraben; Rhaetian; Hettangian; Sinemurian; Pliensbachian; sequence stratigraphy; lithofacies; reservoir; geothermal; CO2 storage; Sorgenfrei- Tornquistzonen; Höllvikensänkan; sekvensstratigrafi; reservoar; geotermisk; CO2-lagring; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The geological setting of Skåne is the outcome of successive phases of transtensional tectonics, block-faulting, subsidence, transpression and inversion focused around the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone. The Höllviken Halfgraben is one of the major blocks in southwestern Skåne with a Rhaetian–Pliensbachian succession characterized by interbedding of arenaceous and argillaceous facies of local and regional extent.

6. 5. Late Triassic and Early Jurassic palynology of the Höganäs Basin and the Ängelholm Trough, NW Scania, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Linda M. Larsson; [2003]
   Keywords : Transitional interval; Pinuspollenites-Trachysporites Zone; Scania; Rhaetian; Palynology; Hettangian; Cerebropollenites macroverrucosus Zone; Helsingborg Member; Döshult Member; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : A palynological study has been conducted on Late Triassic and Early Jurassic outcrop- and borehole sections of the Höganäs and Rya formations, NW Scania. The diverse and generally well preserved palynomorph assemblages can be divided into three miospore zones: (1) the latest Rhaetian-?Hettangian Transitional interval; (2) the Hettangian Pinuspollenites-Trachysporites Zone; and (3) the Sinemurian Cerebropollenites macroverrucosus Zone.
