Tracking the Carnian Pluvial Event in Southern Africa - Karoo Sedimentology and Biota

Explore a detailed geological lecture examining the Carnian Pluvial Event's manifestation in southern Africa's main Karoo Basin through the lens of clastic sedimentology. Delve into field sedimentological evidence from footprint- and plant-bearing strata to understand the significant climatic and ecological changes that occurred during the Late Triassic period when dinosaurs first emerged. Learn how environmental impacts and biotic changes during this crucial time period are preserved in the Karoo Basin's geological record, offering insights into one of Earth's most transformative episodes.
