“…in the Late Triassic between 237.0 and 209.5 Ma (these and other ages for various epochs and stages are quoted from Gradstein et al, 2012). Newton (1906) described marine bivalves from Mt Guthrie, Singapore, that according to Jones et al (1966) are quite different from any Triassic fossils from Peninsular Malaysia and which Kobayashi and Tamura (1968b) suggested were probably Lower Jurassic. However, Lower to Middle Jurassic fossils have not been found in Peninsular Malaysia (Nuraiteng, 2009) or southwest Thailand (Booth and Sattayarak, 2011) and the existence of Lower Jurassic strata in Singapore is doubtful.…”

“…Whether the Tembeling Formation also extends further so uth has to be found out by future field investigations. Descriptions of similar rock types by Newton (1906) and Scrivenor (1907a;1907b) from Singapore and Bothe (1928) from the Lingga Archipelago (Indonesia), and the presence of the Murau Conglomerate in the Mersing area (J ohore), make a southern continuation probable.…”

“…In a later publication Scrivenor (1911) discarded this name and referred to the rocks as "Gondwana Rocks", a supposed Malayan outlier of the Upper Gondwanas of India. The name Gondwana Rocks was first suggested by Newton (1906) for the fossiliferous shale and sandstone beds exposed in the quarry of Mount Guthrie, Singapore. In 1931 Scrivenor reviewed the stratigraphic nQmenclature of Malaya and proposed instead of the "Gondwanas" the more general term "Malayan Triassic".…”

The name "Tembeling Formation" is introduced for fluviatile-deltaiclacustrine sediments of post-orogenic origin in West Malaysia (Malaya). A type section is described in the Tekai River (Pahang), where the total thickness of the formation is over 3,000 meters. The age of the formation is probably late Triassic to Jurassic. A basal member, the "Murau Conglomerate", is described from the Mersing area (Johore); it consists of coarse red purple polymict conglomerates of fluviatile origin. These conglomerates decrease in thickness from east to west and vary in composition. The Murau Conglomerate is overlain in the Tahan Range by a sequence of red to grey shales and mudstones alternating with thick bands of arenaceous-rudaceous rocks. The top of the formation is formed by typical argillaceous red-beds, deposited under warm continental conditions. The Tembeling Formation overlies rocks of varied composition and age. An angular unconformity well developed in the east of the Peninsula decreases in importance westward. Along the east coast in the State of J ohore, the formation unconformably overlies metasediments of probable Carboniferous age, whereas to the northwest in the type area in central Pahang Triassic rocks are underlying. The folded Tembeling Formation is unconformably overlain by flat-lying beds of the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous Gagau Group.

“…44). Kobayashi and Tamura (1968b) recorded a possible record of the genus from the Upper Triassic of Malaysia, although they only doubtfully included Myophoria bittneri Newton, 1906, into Maoritrigonia. Fleming (1962 and Freneix and Avias (1977) considered Maoritrigonia to be endemic to the Maorian province, but later, Fleming (1987) and Pérez and Reyes (1994) reported it from the Upper Triassic of Chile.…”

TheAstarte(Bivalvia: Astartidae) that document the earliest opening of Bering Strait

The presence of the bivalve mollusks Astarte (Tridonta) borealis Schumacher and A. (T.) hopkinsi new species, in uppermost Miocene or lower Pliocene strata of the Milky River Formation on the Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska, signals the earliest opening of Bering Strait. These species migrated from the Arctic Ocean into the North Pacific when the Bering Strait first flooded and, along with co-occurring marine diatoms, are primary evidence for the earliest opening of the strait, in the latest Miocene or early Pliocene. These paleogeographically important Alaskan Astarte have been cited in this context, but have not been previously illustrated or discussed.
