The extension-driven break-up of the Pangean Supercontinent in the present-day Central
and North Atlantic domains commenced during Permo-Triassic times. Permian rift processes …

At the beginning of the Late Triassic, a period of increased precipitation occurred over large
tracts of Central Pangea, the “Carnian Pluvial Event”. It was a short-lived event (> 1 Ma) …

4.1 Background References: Since Michard (1976) synthesis, the Atlas system has been the
subject of a number of geological studies synthesized by Stets & Wurster (1982), Laville …

The Triassic period is generally viewed as the beginning of the Age of Dinosaurs. For
paleontologists, however, it also marks the rise of the world's first modern land ecosystems …

Mass extinctions have profoundly impacted the evolution of life through not only reducing
taxonomic diversity but also reshaping ecosystems and biogeographic patterns. In …

We report on a multi-proxy study of the Carnian Pluvial Episode in the continental Argana
Basin (Morocco) based on mineralogy, geochemistry, paleosols and sedimentary features …

Disarticulated material from the Late Triassic Timezgadiouine Formation in the Argana Basin
of Morocco represents a new taxon of silesaurid dinosauromorph, Diodorus scytobrachion …

Tetrapod footprints from the Permian Ikakern Formation of the Argana Basin have long been
known but never studied in detail. Here we present the first comprehensive description of …

Footprints of Early Mesozoic terrestrial tetrapods are inadequately known from NW Africa
despite pervasive and well-exposed continental strata of corresponding age in that region …

ABSTRACT The Triassic-Jurassic (Tr-J) boundary marks one of the five largest mass
extinctions in the past 0.5 by In many of the exposed rift basins of the Atlantic passive margin …
