Peritidal carbonate cycles induced by carbonate productivity variations: A conceptual model for an isolated Early Triassic greenhouse platform in South China

Eustasy has commonly been invoked to explain peritidal carbonate cyclicity, but is difficult to explain cycles formed in a greenhouse climate when eustasy is minimal. We propose that peritidal cycles on an Early Triassic isolated carbonate platform in Guizhou, South China, were formed by hierarchica...
