Late Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic Circum-Pacific Events and their Global Correlation cover

In this volume, an international assemblage of geologists look at the interval between the Carboniferous and Jurassic in the circum-Pacific.

An international assemblage of geologists reveals a wide range of information about the interval between the Carboniferous and Jurassic in the circum-Pacific, as a conclusion to International Geological Correlation Programme Project 272.The interval between the Carboniferous and Jurassic is marked by major changes in the structure and character of the Earth, associated with massive earthquakes, volcanic activity, and large scale changes of life at the Permian-Triassic and the Triassic-Jurassic boundaries. In this volume, an international assemblage of geologists reveals a wide range of information about these events in the circum-Pacific, as a conclusion to International Geological Correlation Programme Project 272. They explore the nature of the changes in the Late Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic, and suggest issues for future investigation through the study of palaeontology, biostratigraphy, tectonics, magmatic and volcanic development, ore deposition, palaeography and climate. As the circum-Pacific region becomes increasingly important for hydrocarbon and mineral exploration, this book will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students.
