An understanding of the palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic conditions that affects the preserved fossil record is a powerful tool aiding the reconstruction of past ecosystems. In this study, bone diagenesis is used as a sensitive indicator of the palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic conditions during deposition of the Middle Triassic Tarjados Formation of western Argentina. The results provide new information that will improve palaeoecosystem reconstructions throughout western Gondwana. The tetrapod fossil record of the Tarjados Formation is scarce, mainly represented by isolated and dispersed bones. Bones from several stratigraphic levels were analysed. Different mineral infillings are recognised, such as sediment, iron oxides, and calcite. Based on the sequential precipitation of mineral infillings documented in the samples, we identified three diagenetic pathways. The stratigraphic distribution of the diagenetic pathways was analysed to evaluate the depositional and palaeoclimatic conditions through the Tarjados Formation. The integration of the sedimentology and stacking pattern with bone diagenesis suggests changes in the sediment supply and the strongly seasonal soil moisture fluctuations characterised by alternating short wet and long dry seasons, under an overall semi-arid climatic regime. This climatic evidence agrees with a palaeogeographic configuration with a local rain-shadow effect of highlands in contrast with the documented by Cuyana Basin, where the palaeogeographic configuration suggests without local rain-shadow effect with the wet period dominance over drier ones.

中三叠世 Tarjados 组四足动物的骨成岩作用:对沉积环境和古气候的影响

了解影响保存的化石记录的古环境和古气候条件是帮助重建过去生态系统的有力工具。在这项研究中,骨成岩作用被用作阿根廷西部中三叠统 Tarjados 组沉积过程中古环境和古气候条件的敏感指标。结果提供了新的信息,将改善整个冈瓦纳西部的古生态系统重建。Tarjados组的四足动物化石记录稀少,主要以孤立分散的骨骼为代表。对来自几个地层的骨骼进行了分析。识别出不同的矿物填充物,例如沉积物、氧化铁和方解石。根据样品中记录的矿物填充物的连续沉淀,我们确定了三个成岩途径。分析了成岩路径的地层分布,以评估通过 Tarjados 地层的沉积和古气候条件。沉积学和堆积模式与骨成岩作用的整合表明,在整体半干旱气候条件下,沉积物供应发生变化,土壤水分季节性波动强烈,特点是短湿季和长干季交替。这一气候证据与古地理配置一致,具有高地的局部雨影效应,与库亚纳盆地记录的相反,其中古地理配置表明没有局部雨影效应,潮湿时期对干燥地区的主导地位。分析了成岩路径的地层分布,以评估通过 Tarjados 地层的沉积和古气候条件。沉积学和堆积模式与骨成岩作用的整合表明,在整体半干旱气候条件下,沉积物供应发生变化,土壤水分季节性波动强烈,特点是短湿季和长干季交替。这一气候证据与古地理配置一致,具有高地的局部雨影效应,与库亚纳盆地记录的相反,其中古地理配置表明没有局部雨影效应,潮湿时期对干燥地区的主导地位。分析了成岩路径的地层分布,以评估通过 Tarjados 地层的沉积和古气候条件。沉积学和堆积模式与骨成岩作用的整合表明,在整体半干旱气候条件下,沉积物供应发生变化,土壤水分季节性波动强烈,特点是短湿季和长干季交替。这一气候证据与古地理配置一致,具有高地的局部雨影效应,与库亚纳盆地记录的相反,其中古地理配置表明没有局部雨影效应,潮湿时期对干燥地区的主导地位。沉积学和堆积模式与骨成岩作用的整合表明,在整体半干旱气候条件下,沉积物供应发生变化,土壤水分季节性波动强烈,特点是短湿季和长干季交替。这一气候证据与古地理配置一致,具有高地的局部雨影效应,与库亚纳盆地记录的相反,其中古地理配置表明没有局部雨影效应,潮湿时期对干燥地区的主导地位。沉积学和堆积模式与骨成岩作用的整合表明,在整体半干旱气候条件下,沉积物供应发生变化,土壤水分季节性波动强烈,特点是短湿季和长干季交替。这一气候证据与古地理配置一致,具有高地的局部雨影效应,与库亚纳盆地记录的相反,其中古地理配置表明没有局部雨影效应,潮湿时期对干燥地区的主导地位。
