In 1930W.E. Schmidt described all known crinoids from the German Early Carboniferous, including the Etroeungt beds of Germany, which are now judged to be latest Devonian (Famennian) in age. On a global basis, Famennian camerate crinoids generally show a closer relationship to succeeding Early Carboniferous faunas than they do to older Frasnian or Middle Devonian crinoids, which also is the case for...
This article provides the first taxonomic description of Ivorian (Late Tournaisian, Early Carboniferous) rugose coral associations from north-western Turkey (Zonguldak and Bartın). Eleven species belonging to ten genera are described, one species is new. Three biostratigraphic assemblages are recognized. The oldest assemblage includes Cyathaxonia cornu, Cyathoclisia uralensis, ‘Lophophyllum’ konincki...
Trigonotarbids and scorpions (Arachnida: Trigonotarbida, Scorpiones) are described from the Upper Carboniferous (Late Stephanian/Late Gzehlian) of the Graissessac Basin in the Central Massif outcropping in southern France. This is the first record of trigonotarbids and the first thorough description of scorpions from this locality. Trigonotarbids are an extinct order and the new fossils express a...
Palaxius salataensis Brönnimann, Cros and Zaninetti, 1972 is described from early Carboniferous stromatolite mounds of a fore-reef slope setting from Laibin, Guangxi, South China. This is the oldest occurrence of internally structured crustacean coprolites. The geographic distribution and stratigraphic range of the ichnospecies as well as paleoecological implications of this new record of P. salataensis...
The Late Viséan (Early Carboniferous) ammonoid species Goniatites sphaericus (Sowerby, 1814) is revised with the use of the type material. With respect to conch morphology, suture line and particularly shell ornament, it is regarded as a senior synonym of the species Goniatites fimbriatus (Foord and Crick, 1897) and must therefore be re-established as an important index fossil for the ammonoid stratigraphy...
Samples of the burrows studied herein, originally introduced as Eione moniliformis Tate, have been collected from the heterolithic sandstone and siltstone beds of a coastal outcrop near the town of Howick, Northumberland, UK. These interbedded and hummocky cross-stratified beds, belonging to the Stainmore Formation, are Carboniferous and represent offshore marine sediment deposited between the fair...
