Unusual intraclast conglomerates in a stormy, hot‐house lake: The Early Triassic North China Basin

Early Triassic temperatures were some of the hottest of the Phanerozoic, sea‐surface temperatures approached 40°C, with profound consequences for both the sedimentology and faunal distributions in the oceans. However, the impact of these temperatures in terrestrial settings is unclear. This study examines shallow lacustrine sediments from the Lower Triassic succession of North China. These consist of diverse fluvial to shallow lacustrine...
