Terrestrial vertebrate fossils show that part of the Newark supergroup of the eastern United States, all of the Glen Canyon group of the southwestern United States, and the Upper Stormberg group of southern Africa are Early Jurassic. This new correlation demonstrates that the supposed widespread tetrapod extinction at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary is an artifact of spurious correlation.
陆生脊椎动物化石表明,美国东部的纽瓦克超群的一部分、美国西南部的格伦峡谷群以及南非的上斯特雷博格群都属于早侏罗世。这一新的对比表明,三叠纪-侏罗纪界线处所谓的广泛的四足动物灭绝是虚假关联的结果。
