Middle Triassic carbonate platforms in eastern Iberia: Evolution of their fauna and palaeogeographic significance in the western Tethys

Comments on: A review of the evolution, biostratigraphy, provincialism and diversity of Middle and early LateTriassic conodonts

“…The presence of P. murcianus in late Ladinian localities (Ramovs ; Nicora ; Gullo & Kozur ; Plasencia ; Escudero‐Mozo et al . ) is in agreement with the long biostratigraphical range of the species as proposed by Hirsch (), Hirsch & Gerry () and Plasencia et al . ().…”

Environmental conditions of E Iberia’s Early Triassic: an Earth example for understanding the habitability of ancient Mars

“…One of these unconformities appears between middle-Upper Permian and Lower Triassic sediments, thus the P-T boundary (PTB) is not recorded in this area. These basins were filled with continental deposits from the Early Permian to late Lower Triassic, and covered by marine sediments in the late Middle Triassic due to the Tethys transgression from the East (Arche et al, 2004;Escudero-Mozo et al, 2015). Later, during the compressive stages of the Alpine orogeny, these basins were tectonically inverted to form the present day Iberian and Catalan Coastal Ranges (Arche and López-Gómez, 1996;López-Gómez et al, 2002).…”

First Triassic tetrapod (Sauropterygia, Nothosauridae) from Castilla y León: evidence of an unknown taxon for the Spanish record

“…It is situated in the upper Muschelkalk Facies. This section comprises two Formations, the Tramacastilla Dolostones Formation and the Royuela Dolostones, Marls and Limestones Formation (Pérez-Arlucea and Sopeña, 1985), recording the northwestern-most sedimentation of the large shallow carbonate ramp from eastern Iberia (Escudero-Mozo et al, 2015). The fossil remains were recovered close to the bottom of the last mentioned Formation, within a marl horizon.…”
