Oceanic anoxic events, photic-zone euxinia, and controversy of sea-level fluctuations during the Middle-Late Devonian
This paper reviews global records of anoxic events of the Middle Devonian–earliest
Mississippian, as well as the possible triggers and controls of these events. These “anoxic …

The environmental implications of upper Paleozoic plant-fossil assemblages with mixtures of wetland and drought-tolerant taxa in tropical Pangea
We evaluate the influences of elevation and climate on the spatio-temporal distribution of
wetland and dryland biomes during the Pennsylvanian and early Permian in tropical …

Uplands, lowlands, and climate: Taphonomic megabiases and the apparent rise of a xeromorphic, drought-tolerant flora during the Pennsylvanian-Permian transition
Abstract The Late Mississippian and Pennsylvanian have been referred to as the Coal Age
due to enormous paleotropical peat accumulations (coal beds). Numerous fossil floras have …
