Geologists take drill to Triassic parktourists flock to Petrified forest national park in Arizona to marvel at great glittering logs of petrified wood.
But geologists hope to flock there this month in search of something less visible and more scientifically significant:
The goal of the US$970, 000 drilling project is to stitch together a complete picture of most of the middle and late Triassic period, a turbulent interval that saw both a mass-extinction event and the emergence of dinosaurs.
"It s a unique opportunity to put together a coherent time framework for a critical part of the Triassic,
says John  Geissman, a geologist at the University of Texas at Dallas and one of the project s leaders."
"Sure, we have other continental Triassic records, but the Petrified Forest area is pretty darn good
which a Triassic core was drilled from New jersey s Newark sediment basin between 1990 and 1993 (ref. 1). That project aimed to tease out changes in the amount of sediment that was deposited as Earth went through cyclical shifts in the shape of its orbital path
says Paul  Olsen, a geologist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New york,
This reworking would lead to one subdivision the Norian stage taking up nearly half of the entire Triassic period,
owing to weathering or abrupt geological events. Because of surface erosion, for example, the core will not capture the very end of the Triassic around 200 Â million years ago,
when a mass extinction swept across the planet, killing many dinosaurian relatives. The core will
The record then skips tens of millions of years into rocks from the Permian period that preceded the Triassic."

The geologic record shows that hundreds of pole reversals have occurred throughout Earth's history; they happen when patches of iron atoms in Earth's liquid outer core become reverse-aligned like tiny magnets oriented in the opposite direction from those around them.
According to John Tarduno professor of geophysics at the University of Rochester a strong magnetic field helps protect Earth from blasts of radiation from the sun. Coronal mass ejections (CMES) occasionally occur on the Sun
The first proof is the geologic record. When the last pole switch happened no worldwide shifting of continents
and other records said Alan Thompson head of geomagnetism at The british Geological Survey. The scientists explained that changes in the Earth's liquid core happen on a completely different distance and timescale than convection in the Earth's mantle
(which causes Earth's tectonic plates to shift moving the continents). The liquid core does indeed touch the bottom of the mantle
but it would take tens of millions of years for changes in the core to propagate up through the mantle and influence the motion of the tectonic plates.
In short there is no evidence from the geological past and in my opinion also no conceivable method that magnetic reversals could trigger Earthquakes Korte said.
