Abstract

The goals of this study were to establish patterns in a silicified wood assemblage to depict the evolution patterns of the Triassic paleoclimate in southern Brazilian Gondwana during an interval of global arid to semi-arid climatic context, and the taphonomic process that led to the preservation of the so-called “Petrified Forest”, which is preserved in the central area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Analyses were developed with an assemblage of 13 permineralized conifer wood, using standard thin sections, whose anatomical details were studied in transmitted light. Ground-Penetrating Radar was used to obtain information about the depositional characteristics of the site. Main results are: true growth rings are absent in all samples, and the boundaries of the interruption zones are marked by an abrupt decline in cell diameter, but they are not accompanied by a reduction of cell wall thickness. The subsequent reversion to normal tracheid diameter is also abrupt, revealing the return of the previous growing conditions. Ground-penetrating Radar analyses confirmed that the Mata Sequence deposits correspond to a river. The identification of growth interruption zones in a Late Triassic wood assemblage in southernmost Brazilian Gondwana (Paleobotanic Garden of the city of Mata, RS) indicates the presence of tropical, temporarily dry climate conditions, characterized by irregular, short-term environmental disturbances to growth. The taphonomic process was related to a river-channel infilling depositional process, under the influence of high-energy flood events that dragged and buried the trees. Keywords: Wood growth patterns, Mata sequence, gymnosperms, Triassic climate, petrified forest.

基于巴西冈瓦纳大陆最南端晚三叠纪洪水沉积物中木材生长中断的古气候推断
本研究的目的是在硅化木组合中建立模式,以描述全球干旱至半干旱气候背景下巴西冈瓦纳南部三叠纪古气候的演化模式,以及导致所谓的“石化森林”得以保存的地学过程,该地学过程保存在巴西南里约热内卢格兰德州中部地区。使用标准薄片对13种过矿化针叶树木材进行了分析,并在透射光下研究了其解剖细节。利用探地雷达获得有关该地点沉积特征的信息。主要结果是:在所有样品中都没有真正的生长环,并且中断区的边界以细胞直径的突然下降为标志,但它们并不伴随着细胞壁厚度的减少。随后向正常气管直径的恢复也是突然的,显示了先前生长条件的恢复。探地雷达分析证实,玛塔层序沉积物对应于一条河流。巴西冈瓦纳最南端(马塔市古植物园)晚三叠世木材组合中生长中断带的确定表明存在热带,暂时干燥的气候条件,其特征是不规则的,短期环境干扰生长。埋藏过程与河道淤积过程有关,是在高能量洪水事件的影响下,将树木拖拽掩埋的。关键词:木材生长模式,Mata序列,裸子植物,三叠纪气候,石化林摘要:目的:为研究不同地区的自然气候变化提供参考,分析不同地区的自然气候变化,分析不同地区的自然气候变化,分析不同地区的自然气候变化,分析不同地区的自然气候变化,分析不同地区的古气候变化,分析不同地区的古气候变化,分析不同地区的古气候变化,分析不同地区的古气候变化,分析不同地区的古气候变化,分析不同地区的全球气候变化,分析不同地区的气候变化,分析不同地区的沉积过程,分析不同地区的沉积过程,分析不同地区的沉积过程,分析不同地区的沉积过程,分析不同地区的沉积过程,分析不同地区的沉积过程。从解剖角度看,解剖角度看,解剖角度看,透视角度看,透视角度看,透视角度看,透视角度看,透视角度看。探地雷达(GPR)技术是一种利用地层特征等参数信息进行探测的技术。其主要成果是:从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看,从纵向上看。因此,在细胞发育过程中,当细胞发育过程中出现异常现象时,就会出现异常现象。一个反向的随后的para, di metro traquedeo正常的tambebee突然发生,揭示了在前渐行渐近的条件下,反向的条件。根据地质探地雷达的分析,确定了地质层序中沉积物的特征,并对加拿大河流的预防进行了相应的澄清。一个相同的区域,从中断区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,从渐变区到渐变区,再到渐变区。一个历史经济学家认为,加拿大河流预防过程的关系,即洪水的影响,即能源的影响,即河流的影响,即河流的影响,即河流的影响。植物:生长中断带、Mata序列、裸子植物、三叠纪植物、石化花。
