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 …

Abstract In Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, the remains of Pennsylvanian sedimentary
basins bearing continental deposits either intimately mixed with shallow-marine strata or …

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 Five U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS high-precision ages were obtained from single zircon
crystals separated from tuffs or ignimbrites embedded in Pennsylvanian to Asselian …

Conchostracans are one of the most common fossil animal groups of continental deposits
from late Palaeozoic to modern times. Their habitats have ranged from perennial lakes of the …

For the biostratigraphy of mixed continental-marine and purely continental sections in the
palaeotropical belt of Euramerica, 9 insect and 8 conchostracan zones are newly defined or …

The Carboniferous chronostratigraphic scale consists of two subsystems, six series and
seven stages. Precise numerical age control within the Carboniferous is uneven, and a …

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 …

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 …
