Phytostratigraphic Correlations Across the North Pacific Region
|
This interactive correlation chart (Herman, 2011a) illustrates the relationships between the six Cretaceous to early Paleocene taphofloras that existed across the whole of the Northern Pacific Region. VCSR - Verkhoyansk-Chukotka Sub-Region; OCSR - Okhotsk-Chukotka Sub-Region; AKSR - Anadyr-Koryak Sub-Region; NASR - Northern Alaska Sub-Region; YKSR - Yukon-Koyukuk Sub-Region; CSR - Chignik Sub-Region. Arrows show interpreted floral interchange based on the taxonomic characteristics of the different phases in floral evolution. |
Map showing the paleobotanical-paleogeographic subregions in the Northern Pacific Region. The positions of the land masses are approximately those in the Late Cretaceous. |
