Towards a Better Definition of the Middle Triassic Magnetic Polarity Stratigraphy in the Tethys Realm / G. Muttoni, D.V. Kent, S. Meço, A. Nicora, M. Balini, M. Gaetani, L.

Abstract:
Magnetostratigraphic and biostratigraphic data for the Middle Triassic (Anisian) were obtained from the Han-Bulog facies in the Nderlysaj section from the Albanian Alps and the Dont and Bivera formations in the Dont-Monte Rite composite section from the Dolomites region of northern Italy. The Nderlysaj section is biochronologically bracketed between the late Bithynian and early Illyrian substages (i.e., late-early and early-late Anisian), whereas the Dont-Monte Rite section comprises the late Pelsonian and the early Illyrian substages. The data from Nderlysaj and Dont-Monte Rite, in conjunction with already published data, allow us to construct a nearly complete composite geomagnetic polarity sequence tied to Tethyan ammonoid and conodont biostratigraphy from the late Olenekian (late-Early Triassic) to the late Ladinian (late-Middle Triassic). New conodont data require revision of the published age of the Vlichos section (Greece).
