Foraminifera have been used to revise the biostratigraphy of all known Mississippian
outcrops in Morocco cited either as early Viséan (or its equivalent V2a or V2a/b …

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 …

Considerable progress has been made by international teams in refining the traditional
ammonoid zonation that remains the backbone of Carboniferous stratigraphy. The …

Revision of several important Carboniferous stratigraphic successions in basins in the

Abstract The Jebel Begaa region of the eastern Anti-Atlas in SE Morocco yielded a single,

In Northwestern Turkey, the Mississippian (Lower Carboniferous) Yılanlı Formation is
composed of variegated shallow-water limestone containing rugose corals, tabulate corals …

A new early Visean coral assemblage has been recorded from turbidite facies in the
southern part of the Azrou-Khenifra Basin, northwest of Khenifra, central Morocco. The newly …

Typical early Viséan foraminiferal assemblages documented in outcrops of the Western
Meseta of Morocco led to the erroneous biostratigraphic dating of areas that later, after much …

Biodiversity hotspots are defined as areas of unusually high biological diversity. This
definition is less clear for palaeohotspots but the Royseux locality in Southern Belgium is …

Representatives of the subfamily Lonsdaleiinae Chapman, 1893 are common in the
Mississippian of the western Palaeotethys. A general analysis of the origin, distribution and …
