Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Swiss Journal of Geosciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s00015-018-0318-3
Abstract: During the Early Jurassic (lasting ~ 27 Myr) only thin deposits (mostly ca. 30–50 m) of the Staffelegg Formation accumulated in wide parts of NW Switzerland while sea-level rise was in the range of ~ 60 m. Isopach and facies patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00531-017-1519-0
Abstract: One of the defining characteristics of the basaltic rocks from the Early Jurassic Eastern North America (ENA) sub-province of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) is the systematic compositional variation from South to North. Moreover,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12583-018-0793-5
Abstract: The end-Triassic (also Triassic-Jurassic) mass extinction severely affected life on planet Earth 200 million years ago. Paleoclimate change triggered by the volcanic eruptions of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) caused a great loss of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2017.06.023
Abstract: Abstract One highly disputed topic about the Jurassic igneous rocks in the eastern South China Block (SCB) is whether they were products of the Pacific plate subduction or the intra-continental extension of the SCB. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2020.105871
Abstract: Abstract Subduction of the Paleo-Pacific and Mongol–Okhotsk oceanic plates is widely believed to have caused extensive Mesozoic magmatism and lithospheric deformation in East Asia. However, it remains unclear how the two tectonic domains affected NE… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0016756820001454
Abstract: Abstract A recent excavation yielded 118 large tridactyl footprints in the Lower Jurassic Dolomitic Formation of the Causses Basin, at Mongisty in southern France. Most of the tracks are ascribed to Eubrontes giganteus Hitchcock, 1845.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16045-7
Abstract: Rare occurrences of dinosaurian embryos are punctuated by even rarer preservation of their development. Here we report on dental development in multiple embryos of the Early Jurassic Lufengosauru s from China, and compare these to… read more here.
