An investigation into possible facies changes across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary in southern Tibet

A complete marine succession across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary is reported from southern Tibet (Xizang, China), on the northern flanks of the Himalayas. Both youngest Triassic and oldest Jurassic ammonites, together with palynological data, allow a combined facies and gamma ray study indicating...

Summary:A complete marine succession across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary is reported from southern Tibet (Xizang, China), on the northern flanks of the Himalayas. Both youngest Triassic and oldest Jurassic ammonites, together with palynological data, allow a combined facies and gamma ray study indicating no significant change across the system boundary, unlike elsewhere in the world.
