Abstract

A variety of formulas can be found in the literature to convert geochemical data into absolute palaeotemperatures. In the present study, we test a formula for calculating the Early Permian (Artinskian) palaeotemperatures based on major element values from continental red-bed deposits of the Tambach Sandstone Member (Tambach Formation, Rotliegend Group) in Germany. The geochemical data used herein were extracted from a previous study on the Bromacker section. Applying the literature-based dataset constitutes the first approach aimed to a better understanding of certain local palaeoclimate aspects (i.e., mean annual temperature) and can be easily expanded to wider stratigraphic and palaeogeographic ranges through future studies.

Keywords: Permian, Artinskian, Rotliegend, climate, temperature, red beds, Bromacker, Thuringian Forest

Acknowledgements. The Bromacker Project is a cooperation of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the Stiftung Schloss Friedenstein Gotha, the Geopark Thüringen Inselsberg–Drei Gleichen, and the Friedrich-Schiller Universität Jena. Our studies are funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany (BMBF, grant ‘Bromacker Project’).

We are very thankful to Thomas Martens for guiding the joint field trips to the im­portant outcrop sections around Tambach-Dietharz. Many thanks to Joerg W. Schneider, Sebastian Voigt, and Birgit Gaitzsch for providing data on the tetrapod trace fossil that is shown in Fig. 3, b. Joerg W. Schneider is kindly acknowledged for his review that improved this publication.
