Zusammenfassung
Die Trias im Levant ist in vier Sedimentationszyklen gegliedert: I. Skythian — Unteres Anisian; II. Oberes Anisian; III. Oberes Anisian — Karnian; IV. Oberes Karman — Norian.
Die regionalen Faziesbeziehungen deuten auf das Vorhandensein einer Westtethyalen Werfener Fazies (Zyklus I), einer West- und Südtethyalen Sephardischen Fazies (Zyklen II und III) und einer eher alpinotypischen Plattformfazies (Zyklus IV).
Eine Korrelation der permisehen und untertriadischen Gesteine auf beiden Seiten des Jordantales wird vorgeschlagen. Die stratigraphischen Folgerungen dieser Korrelation unterstützen die Existenz einer linken Transversalverschiebung entlang des Jordantal Rifts.
Abstract
The Triassic of the Levantine region consists of four sedimentary cycles: I. Scythian — Lower Anisian; II. Early Upper Anisian; III. Late Upper Anisian — Carnian; IV. Late Carnian — Norian.
Regional biofacial affinities point to the existance of a western Tethyan Werfen facies (cycle I), a sephardic biofacies (cycles II and III) and a rather alpinotype platform facies (cycle IV). A correlation across the Jordan Rift Valley is suggested, primarily based on bio- and lithostratigraphic evidence of the Permo-Triassic rocks. The stratigraphic implications of this correlation support the existance of a left lateral strike slip along the Jordan Rift Valley.
Résumé
Le Trias du Levant comprend quatre cycles sédimentaires: I. Scythien-Anisien inférieur; II. Anisien supérieur; III. Anisien supérieur — Carnien; IV. Carnien supérieur — Norien.
La succession des biofaciès débute par le faciès Werfénien, qui englobait pratiquement la Téthys occidentale éotriasique toute entière (cycle I). Dans le courant du Mésotrias, le faciès Sépharade s'étend aux marges méridionales et occidentales de la Téthys (cycles II et III), tandis qu'un faciès de plateforme d'affinité plutôt alpine représente le Trias terminal (cycle IV).
Une corrélation des séries Permo-Eotriasiques du Néguev et de Transjordanie est proposée. Les implications stratigraphiques de cette corrélation appuient l'existence d'un coulissage sénestre tout au long du Rift de la vallée du Jourdain.
Краткое содержание
В триасе Леватна отме чено 4 цикла осадконак опления: 1.Скифский — нижне Аниз ийский; 2. верхне Анизий ский; 3. верхне анизийский — карнийс кий; 4. — верхне карнийс кий норийский. Региональ н ые взаимоотношения фац ий указывают на прису тствие верфенского фации западного Тети са — цикл 1, сефардскоой фации западного и южного Тетиса — циклы 2 и 3 и пла тформенной фации аль пийского типа — цикл 4.
Предлагаемая коррел яция пермских и нижне-триасовых пород по обеим сторонам долины Иорд ана, почтьержчает сущ естьоьание леьостороннецо счьица.
