“…These kinds of properties suggest either deposition relatively close to a primary source of high relief, or else rapid transportation and sedimentation with little reworking from an arc massif experiencing limited chemical weathering (Boggs 2001). Despite differences of opinion in detail about paleoclimates off the paleo-Pacific coast of Gondwana during the Late Triassic-Jurassic (Grant-Mackie et al 2000), wet, cool-to cold-temperate conditions appear to have characterised the high-latitude (60-70°S) "Murihiku portion" of this margin for much of the time (e.g., Stevens 1980;Retallack 1987; Frakes et al 1992;Parrish 1993), even perhaps involving local ice production and melting (e.g., Ballance 1988;Parrish 1993). Such a climatic regime favoured physical weathering of source rocks and the production of texturally and mineralogically immature sediments.…”

The Murihiku Terrane in the North Island was a forearc basin adjacent to a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The rocks that infill the basin are mainly volcaniclastic sandstones and mudstones, often turbiditic, with sparse shellbeds, rhyolitic tuffs, carbonaceous sandstones, plant beds, concretionary horizons, and rare thick granitoid-rich conglomerates. Petrographic studies of the rock fragments in the sandstones show that andesites are the dominant lithic type, but there is a wide range of other lithologies, including dacites, rhyolites, ignimbrites, granitoids, quartzofeldspathic mica schists, rare amphibolites, and reworked mudstones and sandstones. The sandstones are texturally and mineralogically immature and suggest deposition relatively close to a source of high relief, undergoing physical rather than chemical weathering in cool-to cold-temperate conditions. Geochemical analyses of 67 whole-rock volcaniclastic sandstones and siltstones indicate that they were derived from an active and dissected volcanic arc in a convergent margin setting built upon relatively thin continental crust. Modal petrographic data and whole-rock geochemistry both confirm that there were systematic variations with time in the composition of clastic material being supplied to the basin. From the Late Triassic to Middle Jurassic, there was a decrease in silicic volcanic material, plutonics, and metamorphics, and an increase in the supply of andesitic detritus. This was followed in the Late Jurassic by a broader range of volcanic detritus, varying from basaltic andesite to rhyolite, which may have been caused by progressive extension of the volcanic arc and thinning of the crust, a precursor to the breakup of Gondwana in the Early-Middle Cretaceous. Comparison with the Southland segment of the Murihiku Terrane in the South Island suggests that there were significant along-arc source variations, with relatively less silicic but greater andesitic and continental crust contributions in the North Island than in Southland. This may be analogous to the modern Taupo-Kermadec arc where there is a south-north along-arc transition from a continental to an oceanic arc.

Palynofloral assemblages are recorded from 33 productive samples from sediments o~P~ O?julfian), Early Triassic (Griesbachian), Late TrIaSSIC (Nonan), and Early and Middle Jorassic age. All are from marine sequences dated by associated invertebrate faunas. The assemblages are dominated by miospores, in conformity wi.th their nearshore origin. They are similar to palynofloras of equivalent age from New Zealand and eastern Australia In relation to provincialism which has been documented for Australian Triassic palynofloras, the New Caledonia material can be assigned to the cool temperate Ipswich Microflora, rather than to the warm temperate Onslow Microflora.

“…El conocimiento básico sobre la sistemática y distribución de las faunas de bivalvos jurásicos se incrementó muchísimo desde entonces, permitiendo que en las décadas siguientes se publicaran trabajos paleobiogeográficos de alcance regional muy significativos (Stevens, 1980;Chen, 1982;Hallam, 1983;Hayami, 1984Hayami, , 1987Hayami, , 1989Hayami, , 1990Crame, 1986Crame, , 1987Damborenea, 1993Damborenea, , 1996Damborenea, , 2000Damborenea, , 2002aLiu, 1995;Kelly, 1995;Heinze, 1996;Sha, 1996Sha, , 2002Liu et al, 1998;Aberhan, 1998Aberhan, , 1999Aberhan, , 2001Aberhan, , 2002Shurygin, 2005;Abdelhady y Fürsich, 2015).
