A new consensus on the processes responsible for organic carbon burial in ancient epeiric
seas has emerged. More firmly grounded in the uniformitarian framework of modern …

An integrated lithologic, paleontologic, and multi-proxy geochemical study of the Middle
Devonian Oatka Creek Formation, a black shale in the northern Appalachian Basin …

Changing sea level is a major factor in the pattern of enrichment of organic carbon in
marginal and epicontinental seas. Organic-carbon-rich facies accumulate preferentially …

Abstract The Late Devonian records one of the most dramatic series of taxonomic and
ecological turnovers in the history of life. The precise controls over the elevated extinctions …

Deepwater anoxia developed widely within a series of silled intracratonic basins in North
America during the Middle Devonian to Early Carboniferous, but the hydrographic factors …

Petrographic and small-scale sedimentary features of the mudstone-dominated Upper
Devonian Sonyea Group of New York were examined in order to (1) improve our …

Devonian black shales deposited on the North American craton contain abundant
Tasmanites cysts. Although these are typically flattened because of compaction, a small …

The Frasnian/Famennian (F/F) Boundary in the northern Appalachian Basin is found in the
Hanover Shale and equivalent strata where it is locally associated with a black shale interval …

At least three time orders of sedimentary cyclicity are observed in Middle Devonian (Eifelian-
Givetian) foreland basin deposits of New York State, Ontario, and Pennsylvania. These …

ABSTRACT A newly refined reef database, modified to calculate reef tracts in relation to
major tectonic plates, and with new paleogeographic maps, indicates that the largest known …
