Abstract
The Late Triassic was the time of the Early Cimmerian and Indosinian orogenies that closed the Paleotethys Ocean, which occurred earlier in the Alpine-Carpathian-Mediterranean area, later in the Eastern Europe-Central Asia and latest in the South-East Asia. The Indochina Southeastern Asian and Qiangtang plates were sutured to South China. The new, large Chinese-SE Asian plate, including North and South China, Mongolia and eastern Cimmerian plates, was consolidated by the end Triassic, leaving open a large embayment of Panthalassa, known as Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean, between Mongolia and Laurasia,. The Uralian Orogeny, which sutured Siberia and Europe continued during Late Triassic times and was recorded in Novaya Zemlya. The onset of Pangaea break-up constitutes the main Late Triassic extensional event. Continental rifts originating then were filled with clastic deposits comprising mainly red beds. The pulling force of the north-dip** subduction along the northern margin of Neotethys caused drifting of a new set of plates from the passive Gondwana margin, dividing the Neotethys Ocean. Carbonate sedimentation dominated platforms on the Neotethys and Paleotethys margins as well as the Cimmerian microplates. Synorogenic turbidites and postorogenic molasses were associated with the Indosinian orogeny. The late stages of the Uralian orogeny in Timan-Pechora, Novaya Zemlya and eastern Barents regions filled the foreland basin with fine-grained, molasse sediments. Siliciclastics were common in the Siberia and Arctic regions. The widespread, large magnitude, base-level changes of the Late Triassic are interpreted as an expression of relatively rapid and substantial changes in the horizontal and vertical stress fields that affected the Pangaea supercontinent. Such stress changes may be due to abrupt changes in the speed and/or direction of plate movements, which episodically affected Pangaea.
