Early-Middle Triassic fluvial ecosystems of Mallorca (Balearic Islands)

During the Early-Middle Triassic, the biosphere was recovering from the most severe mass extinction event of multicellular life, in the Permian-Triassic transition. Continental basins corresponding to present-day Mallorca (Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean) were located in the equatorial regio...

Continental basins corresponding to present-day Mallorca (Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean) were located in the equatorial region of the supercontinent Pangaea, in the western peri-Tethys. Its recorded stratigraphic succession can be divided in four alluvial/fluvial formations, formally described here: Punta Roja Formation, Estellencs Formation, Pedra Alta Formation and Son Serralta Formation. Based on an exhaustive review of all available literature and new stratigraphic and palaeontological data, an upper Olenekian-lower Anisian interval is proposed for the whole succession. The richest fossil assemblage is that of Estellencs Formation, with abundant invertebrate and vertebrate trace fossils, and remains of plants, arthropods and rare fishes, which together represent a lotic/riverine ecosystem with a relatively complex food web. Plants and insects show strong biogeographical affinities with those of the Vosges, in central Europe; clam shrimps are similar to those of central Europe and Asia; and tetrapod tracks are also reminiscent to those of Eurasia and North America. Ultimately, integration of all these data provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary characterisation of one of the oldest Triassic ecosystems of equatorial Pangaea, providing new insights to understand the evolution of palaeoenvironments of Iberian Plate, an area that has historically suffered from severe undersampling. 22021-01-0120212021-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501AMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_ab4af688f83e57aainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/248973https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103783reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100004837 FPU17/01922Agencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 CGL2017-82654-PAgència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2017/SGR-1666Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca https://doi.org/10.13039/501100003030 2017/SGR-086open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.

description During the Early-Middle Triassic, the biosphere was recovering from the most severe mass extinction event of multicellular life, in the Permian-Triassic transition. Continental basins corresponding to present-day Mallorca (Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean) were located in the equatorial region of the supercontinent Pangaea, in the western peri-Tethys. Its recorded stratigraphic succession can be divided in four alluvial/fluvial formations, formally described here: Punta Roja Formation, Estellencs Formation, Pedra Alta Formation and Son Serralta Formation. Based on an exhaustive review of all available literature and new stratigraphic and palaeontological data, an upper Olenekian-lower Anisian interval is proposed for the whole succession. The richest fossil assemblage is that of Estellencs Formation, with abundant invertebrate and vertebrate trace fossils, and remains of plants, arthropods and rare fishes, which together represent a lotic/riverine ecosystem with a relatively complex food web. Plants and insects show strong biogeographical affinities with those of the Vosges, in central Europe; clam shrimps are similar to those of central Europe and Asia; and tetrapod tracks are also reminiscent to those of Eurasia and North America. Ultimately, integration of all these data provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary characterisation of one of the oldest Triassic ecosystems of equatorial Pangaea, providing new insights to understand the evolution of palaeoenvironments of Iberian Plate, an area that has historically suffered from severe undersampling.
