Abstract:Spinicaudata are freshwater branchiopods. The growth and development of spinicaudata populations in freshwater environments depend on various physical, chemical, and biological factors. The action of volcanism modifies the limnological parameters in the process of fossilization of lacustrine deposits. This study identifies spinicaudatan assemblages in two Triassic lake systems in Argentina, and analyzes the dynamics of shell preservation according to the volcanic activity involved. Two taphonomic grades divid… Show more
