Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeoclimate across the Late Pennsylvanian–Early Permian tropical palaeolatitudes: A review of climate indicators, their distribution, and relation to palaeophysiographic climate factors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and evaluate both conceptual and numerical models that have been previously used to explain Late Pennsylvanian-Early Permian climate change in light of the detailed spatial and temporal proxy records from across near-equatorial Pangaea.

High-Precision U-Pb Calibration of Carboniferous Glaciation and Climate History, Paganzo Group, NW Argentina
Erik L. Gulbranson,Isabel P. Montañez,Mark D. Schmitz,Carlos O. Limarino,Carlos O. Limarino,John L. Isbell,Sergio A. Marenssi,Sergio A. Marenssi,Sergio A. Marenssi,James L. Crowley +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the duration and geographic extent of Carboniferous glacial events in southern Gondwana remain poorly constrained despite recent evidence for a more dynamic glacial history than previously considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytogeographic patterns and continental configurations during the Permian Period
TL;DR: In this paper, a system of present day climatically defined biomes, developed by Walter, is adapted for palaeophytogeographic purposes, which can serve as an excellent model for the Permian, there being approximately the same level of floral differentiation and the same relatively cold polar regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations of Permian Climate and Comparisons with Climate-Sensitive Sediments
Mark T. Gibbs,P. McAllister Rees,John E. Kutzbach,Alfred M. Ziegler,P. Behling,David B. Rowley +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a climate model to simulate two intervals of Permian climate: the Sakmarian (ca. 280 Ma), at the end of the major Permo-Carboniferous glaciation, and the Wordian (c. 265 Ma).

Carlos O. Limarino,Silvia N. Césari,Luis Antonio Spalletti,Arturo César Taboada,John L. Isbell,Silvana Evangelina Geuna,Erik L. Gulbranson,Erik L. Gulbranson +7 more
TL;DR: A review of the Late Mississippian to Permian paleoclimatic history for southern South America based on lithologic indicators, biostratigraphic information, and chronostrigraphic data is provided in this paper.

A New Roundness Scale for Sedimentary Particles
TL;DR: A new roundness scale is proposed defined by six roundness classes, defined by two sets of clay models prepared to characterize each roundness class and photographed to determine the roundness of a particle by comparison.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain Size Distributions and Depositional Processes
TL;DR: In this article, a genetic interpretation of sand texture is provided based on recognizing sub-populations within individual log-normal grain size distributions, which may be related to a different mode of sediment transport and deposition, thus providing a measure of their importance in the genesis of a sand unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basic types of stratification in small eolian dunes
TL;DR: The thinnest recognizable strata in modern eolian dune sands can be grouped into six classes as discussed by the authors : planebed laminae, rippleform laminaes, ripple-foreset crosslaminae, climbing translatent strata, grainfall lamina, and sandflow cross-strata.

Depositional sedimentary environments;: With reference to terrigenous clastics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the importance of sequence in environmental reconstruction in modern environments and present examples of modern environments from modern environments, including coastal lagoons, coastlines, and coastlines.
