Palynological zonation and particulate organic matter of the Middle Triassic of the Southern Alps (Seceda and Val Gola–Margon sections, Northern Italy)

New magnetobiostratigraphic results from the Ladinian of the Dolomites and implications for the Triassic geomagnetic polarity timescale

“…A comparison of the conodont and ammonoid biostratigraphic scales from the Reifling Basin of Austria, to which Mayerling belongs, and the Dolomites (Krystyn, 1983;Mietto and Manfrin, 1995;Gallet et al, 1998;Hochuli et al, 2015), leads us to infer that the neumayri-regoledanus Subzones interval recorded at Rio Nigra and Rio Frommer (see also above) should broadly fall in the mid part of the Mayerling section. Thus, reverse magnetozone RN1r at Rio Nigra, closely associated with the 237.77 ± 0.05 Ma U-Pb zircon date, can be reasonably correlated to MA3r at Mayerling (Fig.…”

Past environments of Sardinian archaeological sites (Italy, West Mediterranean Sea), based on palynofacies characterization

“…This valuable tool has been used in palaeoenvironmental, palaeoclimatological and palaeoceanographic reconstructions (e.g. van der Zwan 1990, Tyson 1995, Batten 1996, Gastaldo et al 1998, Cirilli et al 2015, Hochuli et al 2015, García Muro et al 2016, Kumar et al 2016, Okeke & Umeji 2016, Koch et al 2017) and has recently been tested in characterization of Holocene alluvial and palustrine deposits (e.g. Gastaldo & Huc 1992, Laggoun-Défarge et al 1995, Cohen et al 1999, Di Giovanni et al 1999, Bourdon et al 2000, Sebag et al 2006a, b, Serna et al 2015 through the identification and quantification of organic matter (OM) phytoclasts according to their origin, nature, formation or preservation in sedimentary processes.…”

A review of the Triassic pollen Staurosaccites: systematic and phytogeographical implications

“…Camerosporites, Enzonalasporites, Infernopollenites and Ovalipollis are also diagnostic taxa for the Onslow Microflora, and in the Southern Hemisphere, these first appear in the Middle Triassic (Dolby & Balme 1976;Helby et al 1987); in the Northern Hemisphere, Camerosporites and Ovalipollis first appear in the Anisian (Hochuli et al 2015), and Enzonalasporites and Infernopollenites first appear in the Ladinian (Cirilli 2010;Kürschner & Herngreen 2010). The palaeogeographic distributions of these taxa in the Late Triassic have been extensively investigated to distinguish Late Triassic palynofloral provinces (e.g.…”
