“…Within this dynamic, the Kimmeridgian recorded one of the most important relative sea-level fall of the jurassic period in the Andean Basin (Hallam, 1988(Hallam, , 1991. A detailed study on the sedimentary response to tectonically induced sea-level fall in the Neuquen bacl<-arc basin was recently described by Schwartz et al (2006).…”

Sedimentology of the Triassic-Jurassic boundary beds in Pinhay Bay (Devon, SW England)

in Pinhay Bay (SE Devon) of the White Lias (Langport Member of the Lilstock Formation) and basal Blue Lias reveal rapidly changing palaeoenvironments during the Triassic-Jurassic (T-J) boundary interval. During deposition of the topmost White Lias a soft seafloor of micritic mudstone was lithified and bored. The resultant hardground was locally eroded, probably in a shallow marine setting, to form a spectacular intraformational conglomerate that was itself lithified. Brief subaerial emergence then followed and produced a fissured and pitted top surface to the White Lias. The regression was short lived and rapid transgression at the base of the Blue Lias established organic-rich shale deposition with a small framboidal pyrite population and low Th/U ratios indicative of a stable, sulphidic lower water column (euxinic conditions). The White Lias/Blue Lias contact thus records a short duration, high amplitude relative sea-level change. This sea-level oscillation has also been postulated for other T-J boundary sections in Europe, although the failure to identify it in regional-scale sequence stratigraphic studies is probably due to its brief duration. Deposition of the basal beds of the Blue Lias was marked by a discrete phase of syn-sedimentary folding and small growth fault activity that may record a regional pulse of extensional tectonic activity.

They oc cur as sand-filled tubes of Spongeliomorpha and Thalassinoides en trenched in the mudstone, which form two char ac ter is tic ho rizons. Tubes were emplaced in semi-con sol i dated sub strate and filled with sand brought by storm-gen er ated bot tom currents.
