- W2037559770 abstract "Though the Late Triassic preserves major paleoenvironmental fluctuations and is key for understanding the evolution of Mesozoic and modern terrestrial ecosystems, comparisons of Late Triassic non-marine sedimentary and fossil records are difficult because global correlations lack precise radioisotopic ages, and have instead been based upon unconstrained biostratigraphic ranges of palynomorph and vertebrate fossils. The Chinle Formation in southwestern North America preserves a major Late Triassic record of paleoenvironmental and biotic change, including significant early dinosaur fossils. Previous high-resolution radioisotopic age constraints for the formation are limited to a single U–Pb zircon age from the upper third of the formation. The extraction of a geologically meaningful age is challenging from these redeposited units and preference is given to considering the youngest age of a deposit as a maximum age and closest approximation of the depositional age. Because calculating a weighted mean age (or median age) from a group of ages from such deposits is often not adequate, the precision of our two new CA-TIMS single crystal zircon U–Pb ages from the Chinle Formation of New Mexico is limited to ca 0.3% (or ± 0.7 Ma) of the youngest crystal age. Our 206 Pb/ 238 U age of ~ 218 Ma from the Blue Mesa Member in Six Mile Canyon, western New Mexico, demonstrates that strata, palynomorphs, and vertebrate fossils previously considered to be late Carnian in age are actually middle Norian in age. Our new age of ~ 212 Ma from the Hayden Quarry within the Petrified Forest Member at Ghost Ranch, northern New Mexico, provides the first maximum age for important vertebrate assemblages from this area that record the rise of dinosaurs, and demonstrates that basal dinosauromorphs (‘dinosaur precursors’) co-existed with dinosaurs for at least 18 Ma. These new radioisotopic data allow a new correlation of the Chinle Formation to the Late Triassic timescale, suggesting that most if not all of the lower Chinle is Norian in age. This new correlation has global implications as it allows us to make more precise comparisons with early dinosaur assemblages from the Ischigualasto Formation of Argentina, indicating that Chinle dinosaur assemblages are significantly younger than those from South America. The revised age of the Chinle Formation also demonstrates that dinosaurs were much rarer in North America at a time when they were abundant in South America, supporting hypotheses of paleolatitudinal variation during the rise of dinosaurs. ► We report the first high-resolution U–Pb ages from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation. ► We demonstrate that the Chinle Fm is 5–10 My younger than previously thought. ► We revise Late Triassic biostratigraphy for palynomorphs and vertebrates. ► Earliest dinosaurs in western N. America are much younger than in S. America. ► We discuss alternative statistical methods for ages from complex zircon suites." @default.
