Early Permian palaeotemperature values proposed for continental red-bed deposits of the Tambach formation at the Bromacker section

A variety of formulas can be found in the literature to convert geochemical data into absolute palaeotemperatures. In the present study, we test a formula for calculating the Early Permian (Artinskian) palaeotemperatures based on major element values from continental red-bed deposits of the Tambach...

Description
Summary:A variety of formulas can be found in the literature to convert geochemical data into absolute palaeotemperatures. In the present study, we test a formula for calculating the Early Permian (Artinskian) palaeotemperatures based on major element values from continental red-bed deposits of the Tambach Sandstone Member (Tambach Formation, Rotliegend Group) in Germany. The geochemical data used herein were extracted from a previous study on the Bromacker section. Applying the literature-based dataset constitutes the first approach aimed to a better understanding of certain local palaeoclimate aspects (i.e., mean annual temperature) and can be easily expanded to wider stratigraphic and palaeogeographic ranges through future studies.
