Report on the International Workshop for a Climatic, Biotic, and Tectonic, Pole-to-Pole Coring Transect of Triassic-Jurassic Pangea. Held June 5-9, 1999 at Acadia University, Nova Scotia, Canada. Navigate from here. Biotic change in a Hot-House world. The biotic change in a Hot-House world theme deals with biological patterns at three scales: global biogeographic patterns characteristic of the Hot-House world; Triassic-Jurassic evolution; and the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction.

Paleogeographic Atlas Project Databases (PGAP):
The data in this database (the original database: username = public, password = public) have been assembled
over the years by people in
the Paleogeographic Atlas Project. Search in a "Climate Sensitive Sediments Database",
"Floral Database", "Lithology Database", "Features Database", and a
"Reference Database". Go to:
"Floral Database", Search in "Locality information", "Age", e.g. "Triassic". A Triassic plant fossil locality list,
with the corresponding fossil plant taxa. Excellent!
