“…In a study focused on the Jurassic of Britain, Hesselbo & Jenkyns (1998) did not identify a sequence boundary or evidence for sea-level fall in the T-J boundary interval. These views contrast with those of Hallam (1997Hallam ( , 2001) who suggested there was a short-lived, high amplitude regressivetransgressive event at the White Lias/Blue Lias contact. The new exposures in Pinhay Bay lend credence to this interpretation.…”

“…Crucial evidence for the latter comes from Pinhay Bay on the SE coast of Devon, where truncated burrows of Diplocraterion suggest a relative sea-level fall (Hallam, 1960a(Hallam, , 1988(Hallam, , 1997(Hallam, , 2001). However, in contrast, Hesselbo & Jenkyns (1998, fig.…”

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.

“…The dis tance from source ar eas also played an im por tant role in the fa cies spa tial dis tri bution. The Early Ju ras sic was a pe riod of gen eral eustatic sea level rise (Hal lam, 2001), with trans gres sion pulses in the Early Hettangian, Early Sinemurian, Early Pliensbachian and Early Toarcian. Gen er ally, these pulses cor re spond to the oc currences of crinoidal fa cies in the stud ied sec tions of the Dudziniec For ma tion (Fig.…”

Sed i ments of the Dudziniec For ma tion (Lower Ju ras sic -Aalenian) out crop ping in the Kooecieliska Val ley (autochthonous unit of the High-Tatric se ries) are rep re sented by a range of mixed car bon ate-clastic de pos its. Seven lithofacies have been dis tinguished based on li thol ogy, sed i men tary struc tures, col our and com po si tion of intra-and extraclasts, with sand stones and crinoidal lime stones as end mem bers of a con tin u ous spec trum of fa cies. The study area rep re sents a shal lower part of the sed i men tary ba sin lo cated in the vi cin ity of source ar eas, as com pared to the Chocho³owska Val ley re gion lo cated in the west. Fa cies char ac ter is tics and dis tri bu tion were con trolled mainly by synsedimentary tec tonic ac tiv ity, with sandy va ri et ies rep resent ing pe ri ods of fault ing with en hanced in flux of extraclasts, and with crinoidal lime stones cor re spond ing to in ter vals of rel ative tec tonic sta bil ity. Such in flu ence of synsedimentary tec ton ics on the de po si tion in the Early Ju ras sic strongly re sem bles the Mid dle Ju ras sic de vel op ment in the High-Tatric area. Nep tu nian dykes cut ting the Dudziniec For ma tion, and most prob a bly filled by Lower Ju ras sic sed i ments, are yet an other in di ca tion of tec tonic in sta bil ity of the area in the Early Ju ras sic.
