Session No. 292: T138. New Advances in Mesozoic Paleontology, Stratigraphy, and Paleogeography of the Western Interior of North America (Part I)


Session Chairs:
Joshua Slattery | Geosciences-Warner School of Natural Resources, Keith Minor | Department of Geological Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences,, Kelli Trujillo | Department of Geology and Geophysics, David Lovelace | Department of Geosciences, Peter Harries | Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences, Neil Landman | Division of Paleontology (Invertebrates), Jesse Easterwood | Department of Geology and Geophysics

Description:

This session highlights recent advancements in marine and nonmarine paleontology, stratigraphy, and paleogeography of the Mesozoic Western Interior. We invite contributions that showcase new insights into Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous faunas, depositional systems, and paleogeography.
