In the Carboniferous, terrestrial vegetation became widespread, diverse and abundant. The
resulting fossil record has proved to be an effective biostratigraphic tool for intra-and …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

Premise of research. The Late Paleozoic Ice Age was the last extensive pre-Pleistocene ice
age. It includes many climate changes of different intensities, permitting examination of …

Earth's penultimate icehouse period, the late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA), was a time of
dynamic glaciation and repeated ecosystem perturbation, which was under conditions of …

Premise of research. Sphenophytes are a modestly diverse lineage of vascular plants with a
persistent record extending from the late Paleozoic to the present. However, patterns of …

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 …

In 1841, Murchison coined the term Permian for strata in the Russian Urals. Recognition of
the Permian outside of Russia and central Europe soon followed, but it took about a century …

Earth's tropical forests repeatedly restructured on 10 5-to 10 7-year timescales during the
Late Paleozoic Ice Age (340–280 Ma). Although it is established that these ancient plants …

A macrofloral assemblage dominated by elements of the Euramerican dryland biome is
described from the Brazil Formation in Clay County, Indiana (Illinois Basin). Fossils were …

A late Paleozoic, likely early Late Pennsylvanian (Missourian/early Virgilian), flora from
Promontory Butte, Arizona, USA is the westernmost assemblage of this age yet described …
