A steep-margined carbonate platform is developed in the Carboniferous synorogenic foreland basin of northern Spain. Dips of 60–90° produced during Late Carboniferous thrusting enable cross-sections of a 4-km-wide portion of the marginal... more
This study focusses on aspects related to carbonate build-ups in an upper Paleozoic succession in the south central Norwegian Barents Sea. Seismic and well data are used to map and characterize the protozoan and heterozoan carbonate... more
A number of motored auger holes have been drilled in 2002 and 2006 in four sand-clay deposits preserved in dissolution pockets within the Dinantian limestones of the watershed north of the Vesdre valley. These deposits of unknown age are... more
A compositional study of sandstones belonging to the lower section of the Paganzo Group (Middle Carboniferous–Early Permian) in the Paganzo Basin (northwestern Argentina) helps unravel the stratigraphic and paleogeographic evolution of... more
Over I6,000 conodonts have been extracted from the upper Dinantian (upper Courceyan to Brigantian stages) and early Namurian (Pendleian Stage) strata of the Craven Lowlands. Seventy three species and subspecies have been identified from... more
X-ray microtomography (XMT) was applied to three species of the extinct arachnid order Trigonotarbida, hosted in siderite nodules from the late Carboniferous British Middle Coal Measures. All three, Cryptomartus hindi (Pocock, 1911),... more
May, A. (2021): Fossils explained 79: Rugose corals. - Geology Today, vol. 37 (1): p. 31-38; Hoboken, NJ. Abstract: Rugose corals are an extinct group of marine animals that are frequently found in Palaeozoic shallow marine sediments.... more
Carboniferous conodonts are reported for the first time fromMyanmar (Burma). Conodont faunas representative of the Scaliognathus anchoralis and Gnathodus typicus–Protognathodus cordiformis conodont zones date the sampled Taungnyo Group... more
The Carboniferous, the time of Earth’s penultimate icehouse and widespread coal formation, was dominated by extinct lineages of early-diverging vascular plants. Studies of nearest living relatives of key Carboniferous plants suggest that... more
Detailed sedimentological and sequence stratigraphic analysis of Carboniferous (Tournaisian to Moscovian) strata exposed in the north-western Murzuq Basin and southern Ghadames Basin, western Libya, provides new insights into the... more
Nine palynological intervals, A-I in ascending order, are recognised in the Carboniferous succession of the well 7120/2-1 on the Loppa High in the western Barents Sea.Within the Billefjorden Group intervals A-E are correlated with the... more
Kurzfassung Seit Jahrhunderten werden in den oberkarbonischen Sandsteinen des Kyffhäusers meterlange, verkieselte Stämme gefunden, die den ältesten versteinerten Wald Deutschlands repräsentieren. Obwohl ihre wissen-schaftliche Erforschung... more
This Atlas of Permo-Carboniferous Paleogeographic Maps shows the changing paleogeography from the Early Mississippian (Tournasian, 352.3 Ma) to the Early Permian (Kungurian, 273.1 Ma). The maps are from volume 4 of the PALEOMAP... more
May, A. (1984a): Geologie Westfalens. Eine Einführung (Erdgeschichte, Fossilien, Mineralien). - In: Bergkamen gestern und heute, vol. 10 + 11: 1-74, 23 figs., 2 tabs.; Bergkamen (Heimatmuseum Stadt Bergkamen). A short overview on the... more
ABSTRACT--Charting the broad patterns of vascular plant evolution for Gondwana against the major global environmental shifts and events is attempted here for the first time. This is based on the analysis of the major vascular... more
These maps (rectilinear projection) are from the PALEOMAP PaleoAtlas for ArcGIS (Scotese, 2013a-f). This is a digital atlas of plate tectonic, paleogeographic, and paleoclimatic reconstructions designed for use with the GIS software,... more
The Palynology and Stratigraphy of Devonian and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks and metasediments outcropping along the Porto-Tomar shear zone are described and interpreted. The Palynology and Stratigraphy of the Santa Susana Basin and of... more
This diagram show the rise and fall of global temperatures during the last 540 million years. Scotese (2016) describes how this curve was made. It replaces the curve published in Scotese et al., (1999). PETM= Paleocene-Eocene Thermal... more
During construction work between 2010 and 2012 a large road cut in Flöha enabled collection of a diverse middle Pennsylvanian flora embedded in pyroclastic deposits. Fossil plants consisting of sphenopsids, ferns, lycopsids and... more
The older continental part of Southeast Asia is a composite of four tectonic blocks (Sibumasu, Manabor, Indochina and South China Blocks) which have had independent pre-Triassic histories. Carboniferous sediments on these blocks are... more
The Carboniferous, the time of Earth’s penultimate icehouse and widespread coal formation, was dominated by extinct lineages of early-diverging vascular plants. Studies of nearest living relatives of key Carboniferous plants suggest that... more
—Taxonomic analysis is provided for a Middle Pennsylvanian macrofloral assemblage collected from clastic wetland deposits in Clay County, Indiana, on the eastern margin of the Illinois Basin. Adpressed plant fossils were recovered from... more
