...Luke Mander; Wolfram M. Kürschner; Jennifer C. McElwain Abstract We present a palynological study of a terrestrial Triassic–Jurassic (Tr–J; c . 200 Ma) boundary section at Astartekløft, East Greenland. We have generated a new palynostratigraphic scheme and vegetation history for this locality...

... vegetation across the Triassic–Jurassic transition (Tr–J) at Astartekløft, East Greenland. Results indicate that reconstructions of Tr–J vegetation at Astartekløft based on sporomorphs are hampered by considerable taxonomic imprecision. Something is known of the botanical affinity of almost all sporomorphs...

... beds at Astartekløft, Jameson Land, East Greenland ( Table 1 , Fig. 3 ). Most these fossil plant beds were originally discovered by Harris and were relocated by measuring distance in meters below a pecten-rich carbonate-cemented sandstone (Jamesoni Horizon) of the Neill Klinter Group ( Fig. 3...

... known heights in nine plant beds spanning the Rhaetian–Hettangian (Upper Triassic–Lower Jurassic) at Astartekløft, East Greenland. We have constructed taxon-specific stable carbon-isotope curves for Ginkgoales and Bennettitales and compared these to an existing δ 13 C curve based on fossil wood from...

... loss via the hydrological cycle. Figure 1. Development of stomatal density, stomatal length, and transpiration of Ginkoaleans and Bennettitaleans across Triassic–Jurassic boundary transition (Tr–J) at Astartekløft in Jameson Land, East Greenland, in relation to sedimentological log showing...

...Fig. 1.— Schematic map of Greenland, showing the location of the fossil locality at Astartekløft, in Jameson Land, and a lithological log of the sedimentary section, indicating the position of plant beds 1–8. The Triassic–Jurassic boundary is indicated with a black arrow in bed 5, and the Tr–J...

... data from Astartekløft, East Greenland. Biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy from Harris (1937) , Pedersen and Lund (1980) , and Dam and Surlyk (1993) . Plant beds are from Harris (1937) , and beds A–D were relocated through collection and identification of leaf fossils; 2L, “two lowest”; T-P...
