CONTINENTAL EARLY PERMIAN (CISURALIAN) PALEOENVIRONMENTS ; PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS
AGPT INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM TO BE HELD AT AUTUN
(JULY 2 –5, 2007) , Burgundy, France
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Over the last twenty years, paleontological records as well as phylogenetical surveys on vertebrata taxa have been fitted to bio-geochemical and sedimentological results and interpreted considering the global early Permian structural and geodynamic setting.
All these data resulted in enhanced reconstruction of both floral, fauna and environments changes during the Permian times which are coupled with the onset of a gradual aridity.
The cause-and-effects of the related major biological changes are badly documented given the large vertical extension of red beds, mainly unsuited to fossilisation.
As a consequence, early Cisuralian datations and correlations of continental sediments with their marine counterparts are generally questionable.
Stable isotopes and radiochronology studies recovered or currently undertaken in some basins may help to reconstruct a coherent history of the Continental early Permian.
The multidisciplinary approach of the Autun Symposium may lead to improve the knowledge of the early Permian paleoenvironment trends and help to solve part of the above mentioned problems.
Symposium proposed topics
Cisuralian chrono-and biostatigraphy
Structural geology , sedimentology and volcanism of Early Permian deposits
Bituminous shales of the Autun basin
Paleoenvironments : composition and dynamics
Fauna and Flora biodiversity
Publication of contributions
Abstracts will be printed in Autun .
Oral contributions and posters are intended to be published in either a French or an international publication.
Pre-symposium field trip
A one day excursion will be organised to visit the main sections outcropping in the Autun basin and the Morvan volcanism.
