Sedimentological and biostratigraphic investigations in the Triassic of Eastern Pangea, especially of the Tethys realm appear essential, even after half a century of extensive research. These studies provide a major contribution to the general effort of evaluating the mode and magnitude of the global biological and ecological “revolution” that occurred at the Palaeozoic/Mesozoic boundary, a very significant period of environmental change and life renewal. However, they failed to release global evolution trends because previous studies dealt with individual localities and single fossil groups; comparative studies between distant localities within the Tethys realm were rarely conducted; and comparisons between Tethyan and Panthalassan provinces at high stratigraphic resolution are almost absent.This proposal is part of a long term research effort that started in 2006 sponsored by the SNF. It aims at comparing sedimentological, micropaleontological and geochemical data at two distant localities in order to decipher the local, regional and global factors that controlled the evolution of shallow-water carbonate systems within the huge Panthalassan realm. In this context two sites were selected: Upper Triassic mid-oceanic atoll-type carbonates from Sambosan Accretionary Complex (SAC) (Kyushu, Shikoku and Kii peninsula, Japan), and mid-oceanic shallow water carbonates from Wallowa terrane (Oregon and Idaho, NW North America).The research program proposed here focuses on the Upper Triassic Carnian to Rhaetian time slice and seeks to:-Establish accurate stratigraphic correlations for eastern and western Panthalassan carbonate complexes.-Study the composition and palaeoecology of microfossils and reef building organisms.-Reconstruct sedimentological models for mid-oceanic atoll-type buildup upon a seamount in a subduction-generated accretionary terrane as well as for volcanic island-arc carbonate platforms and reefs.-Compare and correlate Tethyan and Panthalassan biotas from the terranes and use them to improve the reconstruction of the palaeogeography.-Constrain and test existing tectonic and geodynamic models for the terrane accretion, in order to delimitate the palaeocontinental blocks and their and their journey across Panthalassa.Additionally, this type of research has been and will always provide unique opportunities for taxonomic revisions, especially in the systematic of foraminifers. Special attention will be given to the reefs and reefal facies considering that they are highly sensitivity to ecological factors. Specifically, the study of Involutinid foraminifers, sponges, calcareous green algae and corals will supply new insights into the depositional environments and allow assessing past ecological conditions.Establishing the correlation between Japanese and NW North American localities with the better studied counterparts in the Alpine sequences of the Tethyan domain will be highly significant to discriminate among the biological (e.g., lineages, endemism of fauna) and environmental factors (e.g., role of oceanic circulation, possible influence of seawater composition) leading to the Palaeozoic/Mesozoic revolution.
