Title: Late Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic Circum-Pacific Events and Their Global Correlation
Description: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, (1997). orig.wrappers. 29x21cm, ix,245 pp, PAPERBACK. Series: World and Regional Geology, 10.. Minor rubbing. VG. ¶ 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" - Publisher's description.
