Upper Triassic shallow–water carbonates from the Naizawa Accretionary Complex, Hokkaido (Japan): New insights from Panthalassa

Due to their accretion on the Circum–Pacific area during the Jurassic and the Cretaceous, Upper Triassic carbonates from the Panthalassa occur very scarcely and with relatively poor preservation in accretionary complexes. However, they represent a unique opportunity to improve our knowledge of the depositional conditions in tropical regions of the Panthalassa. Recognized as a cradle of life, shallow–water carbonates are also of great importance...
