“…The main reef builders of such Cipit blocks are hypercalcified sponges or scleractinian corals. Some sponges and other organisms of these boulders were described by Senowbari-Daryan & Link (e. g., 2011, 2014, 2015. Generally the fossil associations of these boulders are different from the Norian-Rhaetian associations of the reef structures in other localities in the Tethyan realm (e. g., Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria: Schäfer & Senowbari-Daryan 1981, Sicily: Senowbari-Daryan 1984 Greece: own observations).…”

Norian-Rhaetian reef carbonates are exposed in several localities in Taurus Mountains. They predominately contain hypercalcified sponges, followed by scleractinian corals and other less numerous organisms. A coherent NorianRhaetian reef structure is exposed near the small town of Saklıkent, west of Antalya. Foraminifers occur in reef carbonates of Saklıkent by numerous genera as shown in this paper. Two species -Siculocosta taurica and Siculocosta sadati -are described as new. The foraminiferal association of Saklıkent is similar or almost identical to the associations known from the Norian-Rhaetian reefs of Sicily, Northern Calcareous Alps, and Greece but shows less similarity to the foraminiferal association from the Apennines, Italy. The most abundant foraminifers are milioliporoids, particularly galeanellids and cucurbitids. Some sessile and agglutinated foraminifers, including Alpinophragmium perforatum Flügel, which mostly occurs abundantly in the Norian-Rhaetian reef carbonates, could not be found in the Saklıkent reef. This association of foraminifera is reported for the first time from a Norian-Rhaetian reef in the Taurus Mountains of Turkey.

Upper Triassic reefs from the Panthalassa Ocean have been understudied in comparison to their Tethyan counterparts and are therefore pivotal to understanding the global reef evolution during the Late Triassic. To fill this gap, Upper Triassic reef limestone from ten localities of the Sambosan Accretionary Complex at Shikoku Island (Japan) has been investigated. Biotic assemblages, quantitative microfacies analysis, and integrated biostratigraphy allow us to characterize two types of reefs, those attributed to the Ladinian?–Early Carnian and those attributed to the Late Carnian–Rhaetian? At the regional scale, our data refine the biostratigraphic framework of the Upper Triassic Sambosan limestone. At the global scale, multivariate analyses support a strong paleobiogeographic affinity of the Western Panthalassa reef biota with those of the South Tethys Ocean during the Ladinian–Carnian and Norian–Rhaetian. Additionally, they indicate connections with East Panthalassa reefs during the Norian–Rhaetian

Upper Triassic Carbonate Records: Insights from the Most Complete Panthalassan Platform (Lime Peak, Yukon, Canada)

et al. 2022

Upper Triassic carbonate platforms from the Panthalassa Ocean remain less-understood and less-studied than their Tethyan equivalents. This imbalance is largely due to the poorer preservation state of Panthalassan carbonate rock successions in terms of rock quality and depositional geometries, which prevents good appreciation of depositional systems. In this context, carbonate exposures from Lime Peak (Yukon, Canada) represent an outstanding exception. There, the remains of an Upper Norian Panthalassan carbonate platform are well-exposed, show remarkably preserved depositional geometries and overall superior rock preservation. In this work, we analyse the carbonates from the Lime Peak area with particular attention to the vertical and lateral distribution of biotic assemblages and microfacies at the platform scale. Results demonstrate that the Lime Peak platform was surrounded by a basin with an aphotic sea bottom. The carbonate complex developed in warm waters characterized by high carbonate saturation. The area was also defined by moderate to high nutrient levels: this influenced the type of carbonate factory by favouring microbialites and sponges over corals. During its growth, Lime Peak was influenced by tectono-eustatism, which controlled the accommodation space at the platform top, primarily impacting the internal platform environments and the stability of the slope. Gaining better knowledge of the spatial distribution and dynamics of Upper Triassic organisms and sedimentary facies of Panthalassa in relation to tectono-eustatism lays the first foundations for reconstructing more robust platform models and understanding the evolution of other, more dismantled Upper Triassic Panthalassan carbonate systems through time.
