Abstract:
The Dockum Group is of palaeontologic and sedimentary significance due to the fossils and sedimentary structures preserved in it. The units contain a vast variety of Late Triassic vertebrates ranging from aquatic and amphibian to early mammals and dinosaurs, and in addition the Dockum Group contains preserved upper flow regime structures. Early result from initial samples collected from an outcrop of a preserved lake has yielded potential bone fragments and teeth. The opportunity to study how upper flow regimes and fossil assemblages are related to preservation makes the Dockum group a unique study area.
