What’s happen at the T/J boundary in shallow marine environments – The example of Mount Messapion Section (Chalkis, Greece)

This work starts from an integrated stratigraphic study performed on a continuous and expanded section of Triassic-Jurassic (T/J) limestones outcropping at Mt. Messapion. The section consists of a pile, 710 metres thick, of the classic shallowing-upward, peritidal cycles and their age is constrained to Late Triassic - Early Jurassic by micro and macro fossils as foraminifers, green algae and bivalves.The multidisciplinary investigations on this section allow to obtain a new integrated stratigraphic data helpful for the identification of the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic events in shallow water successions.
