The first volume of three starts out by presenting a synoptic overview of the whole Triassic period. The second part appraises the Early, Middle and Late Triassic. The third part considers regional characteristics and problems of Triassic rocks from Europe, North and South Africa, Eastern Europe, Svalbard, Asia and North and South America. The papers are regionally arranged and contain data and results of broad interest, far exceeding the regional aspects. Central Europe is the type region of the classic epicontinental Triassic as defined by Alberti (1834), also referred to as the Germanic Triassic. Almost 50% of all the papers are in this section. The section South and Southeastern Europe, i.e. the northwestern Peri-Tethys, contains overview papers from Spain and Hungary, and draws attention to the important outcrops in Bulgaria and their faunas. Several contributions in the Africa section point to the important epicontinental deposits of the southwestern Peri-Tethys. Papers in the section on Eastern Europe, Svalbard and Asia cover a vast area, as exemplified by the sequence stratigraphic comparison of Svalbard and East Siberia. Other papers address paleontological and biostratigraphic aspects. The Newark System of North America is described as a prime example of astronomically induced cyclicity. The redbeds of the Southwest are shown to be well suited for sequence stratigraphic interpretations and investigations of vertebrates. Another paper ably describes the South American connection to Gondwanaland, and corresponding shifts in climate and habitat for flora and fauna. The purpose of these Proceedings is to enable fellow researchers from the information presented and, so that over the next decade or so, various aspects seen but murkily at present can be worked on. It is hoped that the variety of articles presented here will provide a framework for further investigation of the Triassic.
