... The main difficult with non-marine records is that their geochronology is poorly constrained (e.g.,Mundil et al., 2010;Irmis et al., 2010). In North America, the only exception is the tetrapod footprint record from the Newark Supergroup along the east coast (e.g.,Olsen et al., 2002), which is tied to theNewark-Harford Astrochronostratigraphic Time-Scale (Kent et al., 2017) and now verified by high-precision U-Pb ages from the Chinle Formation (Kent et al., 2018).The uppermost Chinle Formation and Glen Canyon Group on the Colorado Plateau has potential to compliment the Newark record, because it preserves an abundant footprint and body fossil record (e.g.,Sues et al., 1994;Irmis, 2005b;Lucas et al., 2005a;Tykoski, 2005;Milner et al., 2012) and contains a much longer post-extinction record (cf.Marsh, 2015;Marsh et al., 2014). However, the main limitation has been the lack of geochronologic constraints, with considerable debate over the stratigraphic placement of the Triassic-Jurassic boundary (e.g.,Lucas et al., 2005bLucas et al., , 2006bLucas et al., ,c, 2011Kirkland and Milner, 2006;Lucas & Tanner, 2007; Donohoo-Hurley et al., 2010;Milner et al., 2012; Kirkland et al., 2014;Suarez et al., 2017).Nonetheless, it has become clear that in a number of areas across the Colorado Plateau(Lucas et al., 2006c;Sprinkel et al., 2011a;Martz et al., 2014;Irmis et al., 2015; Britt et al., 2016;Suarez et al., 2017), and specifically in BENM and the surrounding area, the Triassic-Jurassic transition is preserved without significant gaps in deposition(Molina-Garza et al., 2003; Lewis et al., 2011). ...
