Asie du SE, Jurassique, Crétacé, vertébrés, plantes, environnements, isotopes
Ce projet a pour but d�interpréter les abondantes données paléozoologiques et paléobotaniques provenant des formations continentales du Jurassique supérieur et du Crétacé inférieur de Thaïlande en termes de changements des environnements et du climat. La plupart des formations du Groupe Khorat du NE de la Thaïlande, étalées dans le temps depuis le Jurassique terminal jusqu�au début du Crétacé supérieur, ont livré des restes de plantes, d�invertébrés et de vertébrés. Cette succession de flores et de faunes révèle des transformations que nous souhaitons relier à l�évolution de la géographie, des environnements et des climats. Un des buts de ce projet est d�étudier la nature des changements survenus durant la transition Jurassique-Crétacé, bien représentée en milieu continental en Thaïlande. Un autre aspect important est l�étude des interactions entre plantes et animaux durant une période cruciale qui vit l�émergence des angiospermes. La question de la transition dinosaures-oiseaux sera aussi abordée via l�étude d�embryons récemment découverts. Des estimations de température seront tirées des isotopes de l�oxygène dans les tissus phosphatés des vertébrés, de façon à reconstituer les changements durant une période qui semble avoir été caractérisée par des fluctuations climatiques marquées, l�accent étant mis notamment sur la saisonnalité. Le but final du projet est de fournir une image des changements des environnements et climats continentaux depuis le Jurassique supérieur jusqu�au milieu du Crétacé dans une région tropicale, qui pourra être confrontée aux modèles climatiques existants.
Asie du SE, Jurassique, Crétacé, vertébrés, plantes, environnements, isotopes
This project will endeavour to interpret the abundant fossil record of plants and animals from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous non-marine formations of Thailand in terms of changing environments and climates. Most of the formations of the Khorat Group of NE Thailand, ranging in age from latest Jurassic to the base of the Late Cretaceous, have yielded plant, invertebrate and vertebrate remains. This succession of floras and faunas documents changes which we plan to link to the evolution of environments and climates. One of the aims of the project is to study the changes that occurred during the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition, which is well represented in the continental domain in Thailand. Another important aspect is that of plant/animal interactions through time during a crucial period which saw the emergence of the angiosperms. The question of the dinosaur-bird transition will also be addressed on the basis of recently discovered embryos. Temperature estimates will be derived from oxygen isotopes in the phosphatic tissues of vertebrates in order to reconstruct changes during a period which seems to have been characterized by marked climate fluctuation, with special emphasis on seasonality. The final aim of the project is to produce a picture of continental environmental and climate changes from the Late Jurassic to the mid-Cretaceous in a tropical area, which can be compared with existing climate models.
