One of the most significant climate changes in the history of Earth happened during the late
Palaeozoic, with the melting of the Gondwanan ice sheets and a progressive warming that …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

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 …

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 …

The boundary between the Helvetic and the Penninic (= Briançonnais) Zones has long been
recognized as a major fault (“Penninic Front”) in the Western Alps. A narrow oceanic domain …

We present a new approach to laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(LA‐ICP‐MS) U‐Pb dating of carbonates based on selection and pooling of pixels from 2‐D …

Mainly acidic Stephanian to early Permian volcanic rocks and intercalated sediments
accumulated in the Thuringian Forest Basin (TFB) in central Germany to a total thickness of …

Volcaniclastic rocks are commonly used to date sedimentary series since absolute ages are
routinely obtained from several geochronological methods. In this work, we present five …

Wetlands are important to continental evolution, providing both arenas and refugia for
emerging and declining biotas. This significance and the high preservation potential make …

A 66 cm thick volcanic ash fall tuff occurring within a thick coal deposit and containing a
paleobotanical fossil lagerstätte in the Wuda coal district of North China has been dated as …
