from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Permomesozoic is a summarizing, informal term for a geological period that the Permian , i. H. the most recent period of the Paleozoic , the Triassic , d. H. the oldest period of the Mesozoic Era , and an unspecified subsequent period within the Mesozoic Era, as well as for the rocks that were formed during this period.

The Permomesozoic is the period of time that lies between the last events of the Variscan orogeny phase (i. E. S.) and the first compressive events of the Alpidic orogeny phase . It is characterized by extensive tectonics and molasses sedimentation , which in the Mesozoic Era changed into “normal” fluvial sedimentation and often also into shallow marine sedimentation.

In German-language literature, the term is found primarily in connection with the geology of the Eastern Alps and especially the central Eastern Alps .
