Early Jurassic radiolarians from the Weitenau area (Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria) and their implications on palaeogeography
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Lower Jurassic sedimentary sequence deposited on the outer shelf (Hallstat shelf) of the Neo-Tethys passive margin occurs often as blocks in different mélanges formed in the frame of the Middle–Late Jurassic mountain building process related to ophiolite obduction. They are studied in detail for their age and sedimentological properties, because they represent the only way to reconstruct the Jurassic distal parts of the Neotethyan passive continental margin. One of these blocks, belonging to the Dürrnberg Formation, was found in the Haselgebirge Mélange of the Weitenau Area (Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria) and yielded a radiolarian fauna, which was assigned to the uppermost Lower Pliensbachian Gigi fustis-Lantus sixi radiolarian zone. The radiolarian assemblage is well-preserved and contains 53 species belonging to 30 genera.
