{"product_id":"the-carnian-crisis-in-the-thomas-hornung-9783639000351","title":"The Carnian Crisis in the Tethys Realm","description":"The Carnian stage is characterised by one of the most severe intra-Triassic ecological crisis affecting marine and epicontinental biota on a global scale. The so-called Carnian Crisis is defined by a major gap in carbonate productivity followed by a marking rise of siliciclastic influx that was shed across terrestrial and shallow marine environments. What can explain the widespread ecological incisions? Was it a single sedimentary incident or a chain of events which were unleashed by a dramatic climate shift? Based on detailed multistratigraphic studies drawn on 20 selected sec-tions throughout the Northern Alps, the Southern Alps and the Indian Himalaya, the author Thomas Hornung introduces a sequence-strati-graphic framework of the Carnian extinction event. In addition, a climate archive derived from oxygen stable isotopes of conodont apatite and lithofacies allowed the first quantitative proof of a climate-induced event and suggests a possible scenario that may have caused the Carnian Crisis. This book addresses all Triassic Biostratigraphers and Palaeontologists, but especially Earth Scientists that combine multistratigraphic tools to geochemical and palaeoclimate aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hornung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639000358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639000351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Thomas Hornung","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305511207167,"sku":"9783639000351","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c44b21ee-952b-4628-8168-f53a7c5d0007.jpg?v=1758831081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-carnian-crisis-in-the-thomas-hornung-9783639000351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
