The deformed margin of the Laurentian craton, preserved within the Appalachian-
Caledonide Orogen, is one of Earth's best studied ancient continental margins. Within the …

The term “cyclothem” was coined by Wanless and Weller (1932) to characterize a repetitive
stratigraphic motif in the Pennsylvanian succession of the Illinois Basin, central USA, and it …

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 …

Abstract Late Mississippian to middle Permian sediment-dispersal networks of regional to
continental scale in western equatorial Pangea, depicted here in a series of …

By colonizing drylands, plants fundamentally changed continental deposition and, thus,
intensified the interaction between life and sediments. Fossil large woody debris in epiclastic …

Rugose corals are one of the major fossil groups in shallow-water environments. They
played an important role in dividing and correlating Carboniferous strata during the last …

A multidisciplinary project was carried out in New Brunswick (eastern Canada), where
hydrocarbon exploration was stopped in 2015 due to a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing …

The geomagnetic polarity pattern for the Carboniferous is incompletely known with the best-
resolved parts in the Serpukhovian and Bashkirian. Hence, data from both igneous and …

During the Carboniferous, the assembly of the supercontinent Pangea periodically
reactivated strike-slip faults and shear zones that transect the northern Appalachian Orogen …

Abstract The mid-Tournaisian Event, or Lower Alum Shale Event (LASE), is linked to severe
facies changes including pelagic carbonates and widespread black siliceous shales and …
