Late Permian to Middle Triassic correlations and palaeogeographical reconstructions in south-western European basins: New sedimentological data from Minorca (Balearic Islands, Spain)

The beginning of the Buntsandstein cycle (Early–Middle Triassic) in the Catalan Ranges, NE Spain: Sedimentary and palaeogeographic implications

“…15). Other similar fluvial-aeolian interaction systems were also developed in neighbouring areas of the Catalan Basin during the late Smithian-Spathian, as those described in Sardinia (Cassinis et al, 2003;Ghinassi et al, 2009), Minorca Island (Linol et al, 2009), Provence Basin, southern Massif Central (Durand, 2006(Durand, , 2008, northern Iberian Basin or Benicassim area, eastern Iberian Basin, Spain . Ventifacts have been also described in all these latter basins related to a hyper-arid period which can be constrained to be around this period of time.…”

Integrated multi-stratigraphic study of the Coll de Terrers late Permian–Early Triassic continental succession from the Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula): A geologic reference record for equatorial Pangaea

“…A similar palaeoclimatic trend of the Pyrenean units was proposed by Gascón and Gisbert (1987), who documented an aridification increase in the Permian. De la Horra et al (2012) also reported a humid to semiarid climate transition in the middle-late Permian of the Iberian Basin, and Gómez-Gras and AlonsoZarza (2003), Linol et al (2009) and Liebrecht et al (2017) documented semiarid conditions for the uppermost Permian deposits of the Balearic Islands. The increase of muscovite/illite from the lower to the upper URU also suggests a change towards a semiarid climate, as has been documented in South China (Xu et al, 2017).…”
