Differences in substrate conditions, especially those linked to grain size and moisture content, often result in the most dramatic variations in track morphology. In the upper Stormberg Group, main Karoo Basin of southern Africa, diverse trace fossils, primarily comprising Late Triassic–Early Jurassic dinosaur tracks, are preserved. Numerous studies have extensively documented individual ichnosites, investigating variations between sites over time, with recent studies suggesting that track abundance and anatomical fidelity increase up-stratigraphy. Despite the well-established link between substrate and track morphology, past studies have not specifically focused on substrate conditions, often emphasizing macro-sedimentary features instead. Here, we examine the micro-sedimentary features of track-bearing units in the upper Stormberg Group using petrographic techniques to better understand the palaeosubstrate and its effect on fossil track registration and preservation. The analysis revealed that very fine-grained sandstones and substrates modified by microbial activity tend to preserve tracks with greater abundance and/or higher anatomical fidelity. Furthermore, the prevalence of very fine-grained and microbially modified strata, and their associated track trends increases in younger stratigraphic units. Across the Triassic – Jurassic boundary in southern Africa, a boom in dinosaur track abundances is observed and credited to the proliferation of dinosaur populations during the Early Jurassic. Our findings, however, suggest that the observed local increase in track abundance (and anatomical fidelity) up-stratigraphy may be linked to substrate composition differences, which were ultimately controlled by large-scale changes in the palaeoenvironment from high-energy meandering fluvial to lower-energy aeolian-lacustrine settings in the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic, respectively. These findings have implications for global macroevolutionary patterns, palaeo-geographical reconstructions, and biostratigraphic correlations in the early Mesozoic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeogeography","volume":"13 2","pages":"Pages 351-371"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095383624000014/pdfft?md5=6fd16ca646e178c5c878750f859a5149&pid=1-s2.0-S2095383624000014-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139465350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wind-driven hydrodynamics, which have a significant effect on the development of littoral landforms and on sediment distribution, have been discussed for the two similar lakes that experienced a prevailing wind perpendicular to their long axis. A conceptual model related to wind-driven water bodies and sediment distribution is proposed. Wave-influenced to wave-dominated deltas, beaches, spits, and eolian dune deposits develop around these two lakes, with a strikingly similar distribution pattern. These features locally inform the longshore drift and help reconstruct the water circulation induced by wind forcing. Under the NW prevailing wind regime, the spits developed on the SW coast with a NW–SE extension, which was influenced by the NW–SE longshore currents. The same influence was observed in the delta extension in the NE area. The differences lie in the presence of fan deltas in the NW region of Lake Hulun, but not in Lake Buir. Additionally, the width of the beach and eolian deposits on the downwind coast of Lake Hulun is three times greater than that of Lake Buir which were caused by the differences in sediment supply and wind fetch between the two lakes. Lake Hulun and Lake Buir provide two reliable examples to understand the relationship among the wind field, provenance, hydrodynamics, landforms, and asymmetrical distribution of clastics in elongated lakes. They also represent relevant modern analogs, which may also be of guiding significance to wind-driven sand body prediction in lacustrine basins.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeogeography","volume":"13 2","pages":"Pages 309-326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095383624000105/pdfft?md5=6260ccff4209eac22dc7ad41250570f8&pid=1-s2.0-S2095383624000105-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140182065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ruditic and arenitic samples were collected along well-characterized stratigraphic sections to provide a new insight into the impact of the tectono-magmatic processes on siliciclastic sedimentation. As a result, the conglomerates are mainly clast-supported, petromictic, and thus immature, with no defined maturity trend upwards. Nevertheless, pebble composition changes in times from Variscan basement pebble-rich to volcanic rock-rich, as a consequence of the basin widening and the dismantling and reworking of the coeval volcanic activity. The sandstone composition clearly changes from quartzolithic to feldspatholithic upwards, as a response to the same change of feeding and reworking of the volcanic rocks. Occasionally, interbedded quartzolithic arenites suggest exceptional floods carrying debris from the far borders of the basin. Also, the immature sandstone composition has been interpreted as being controlled by a continuous supply of fresh debris and to a rapid burial rate.

I perform statistical analyses on these datasets and show that the variations in the sedimentary records of the four isotopes exhibit power-law behaviors.

I then derive a general form for these power laws from a minimalistic model based on basic physical principles and geosystem-specific assumptions, which provides an interpretation for the power-law patterns from the perspective of thermodynamics.

However, systematic analyses are still lacking regarding its sediment filling structure and evolution, mostly due to limited borehole penetration and poor quality of seismic reflection data for deeply buried sequences. No consensus has been reached yet on the sedimentary infilling processes, which impeded the reconstruction of the palaeogeography of Southeast Asia and the oil-and-gas exploration undertakings. Here, we illustrate the Cenozoic sedimentary evolution of the CSSCS region by synthesizing relevant data from previous literature and our own observations and displaying the evolution of depositional systems in sequential reconstructions. Besides, the controlling factors of preferred sedimentary scenarios in the CSSCS incorporate the latest interpretations of the spreading of South China Sea (SCS) as well as the demise of the hypothetical Proto-South China Sea (PSCS). The results show that there are three types of sedimentary basins in the CSSCS (foreland, strike-slip, and rift basins) with different sedimentary filling structures. The foreland basins formed a depositional pattern of ‘transition from deep water to shallow water environments’, dominated by deep-water depositional systems which were formed before the Early Oligocene with submarine fans developed. Later, the foreland basins were gradually dominated by shallow-water depositional systems with deltas and shallow marine facies. The strike-slip basins showed the depositional architecture of ‘transition from lake to marine environments’, i.e. the basins were dominated by lacustrine deposits during the Eocene and evolved into the marine depositional environment since Oligocene with delta developed in the western part of the basin. The depositional evolution of rift basins illustrated the characteristics of ‘transition from clastic to carbonate deposits’, i.e., the rift basins were dominated by Eocene–Oligocene shallow marine clastic depositional systems, while carbonate platforms started to develop since the Early Oligocene from east to west. The above-mentioned differences of depositional architecture in the CSSCS were controlled by the scissor-style closure of the PSCS and the progressive-style expansion of the SCS. Specifically, the early-period deep-water sedimentary environment of CSSCS basins was controlled by the distribution of PSCS in the Eocene. As the scissor-style closure of PSCS progressed from west to east during the Oligocene to Early Miocene, the northwest of Borneo continued to rise, providing a great number of clastic materials to the basins and gradually developing large-scale deltas from west to east.
