Home / All about Upper Triassic / Triassic Palaeobotany, Palynology and Stratigraphy

ALBERTIANA. The primary aim of ALBERTIANA is to promote the interdisciplinary collaboration and understanding among the members of the IUGS Subcommission on Triassic Stratigraphy. Within this scope ALBERTIANA serves both as a newsletter for the announcement of general information and as a platform for discussion of developments in the field of Triassic stratigraphy. See also http://www.uni-muenster.de/GeoPalaeontologie/Palaeo/Palbot/albomsl.htm Pay attention: The new Triassic bibligraphy Albertiana 24 (pdf file), on page 66, by Kerp, Visscher and Warrington.
