- n regiuni din vestul, centrul i nordul Europei (local i n est-sudest): faciesuri regresive, lagunarcontinentale, cu succesiunea: Portlandian (Juras3, lagunar-marin), Purbeckian (Juras3-Cret1, lagunarcontinental), Wealdian (Cret1, continental)
CARACTERE PALEOBIOLOGICE
Dom. MARIN
1A. FLORA: reprezentat prin alge calcaroase cloroficee dasicladacee i mai rar rodoficee (roii)
(importan LITOGENETIC: particip la formarea calcarelor bioconstruite, recifale); diatomee, alge
crisoficee coccolithoforidee (importan LITOGENETIC: particip la formarea calcarelor litografice)
1B. FAUNA:
- foraminifere: puin importante
- radiolari: abundente n Juras3 (Oxfordian) (importan LITOGENETIC: jaspuri, radiolarite)
- porifere: mai ales n Juras3: silicioi (Tremadyction, Cypellia, Cylindrophyma) (importan
LITOGENETIC: particip la formarea calcarelor bioconstruite, recifale - facies suab), mai rar calcaroi
- celenterate: reprezentate prin hexacorali, n general solitari (Montlivaltia) (importan
LITOGENETIC: particip la formarea calcarelor bioconstruite, recifale recifi de dimensiuni mici;
importan PALEOECOLOGIC)
- molute:
- dezvoltarea moderat a gastropodelor: aporrhaide, pleurotomariide, nerineide (n faciesuri perirecifale)
- evoluie puternic a bivalvelor: trigonioide (Trigonia, Clavitrigonia), pteriomorfe pectinoidee (Entolium),
pterioidee (Bositra, Posidonia), ostreoidee, pachyodonte (Diceras) (imp. PALEOECOLOGIC, subordonat
BIOSTRATIGRAFIC, LITOGENETIC particip la formarea unor calcare recifale)
- rare nautiloidee
- dezvoltarea rapid i diversificarea ammonoideelor de tip ammonitic (lytoceratine, phylloceratine,
ammonitine, perisphinctine): Arietites, Psiloceras, Hildoceras, Oxynoticeras, Leioceras, Macrocephalites,
Stephanoceras, Parkinsonia, Oppelia, Taramelliceras, Perisphinctes, Aspidoceras, Craspedites) (imp.

- crinoidee (Apiocrinus) (imp. LITOGENETIC calcare bioacumulate); Saccocoma (imp.
BIOSTRATIGRAFIC)
- echinide: cidaroide, diversificarea echinidelor endocliclice i exociclice (Collyrites)
- vertebrate:
- peti: cartilaginoi (hibodoni: Hybodus), peti osoi holostei, teleostei
- reptile: ichthyosauri (Ichthyosaurus, Stenopterygius), sauropterygieni (plesiosauri), crocodilieni
(Geosaurus, Teleosaurus)
2. Dom. CONTINENTAL
2A. Flora: de tip mezofitic, dominat de gimnosperme: ferigi cu smn (Thinnfeldia), conifere (Voltzia),
ginkgoale (Baiera), cycadale, nilssoniale, bennetitale (Williamsonia); mai rar ferigi, artropside, primele
angiosperme posibil apar la sfritul JURAS (imp. BIOSTRATIGRAFIC, PALEOECOLOGIC, LITOGENETIC
genereaz crbuni n JURAS1, JURAS2)
2b. Fauna:

- amfibieni: apar primele anure (Juras1: Notobatrachus, Vierella) i urodele (Juras2)
- amniote: cele mai importante organisme continentale;
- sinapside: therapside foarte rare; diversificarea mamiferelor: symmetrodonte, triconodonte, allotheriene
(multituberculate), docodonte, pantothere; diversificare mare dpdv. ecologic
- anapside (diversificarea chelonienilor separarea grupelor moderne pleurodire, cryptodire)
