We are pleased to welcome colleagues from eleven countries of five continents and we hope that you enjoy the scientific programm and excursion, but also the hospitality in our small mediaeval silver-mining town and during the field trip! The intension and the embracing topic of this meeting is bringing together colleagues interested in the correlation of Carboniferous, Permian and Early Triassic continental deposits with the global marine scale, to develop cooperative research in various related aspects, and to represent the kickoff of a newly installed joined international working group on such a global correlation project. Although nearly all marine stage boundaries of the Carboniferous and Permian are ratified or close to ratification, nearly nothing is known about the correlation of the system and stage boundaries into the vast continental deposits on the CP Earth. However, the Late Carboniferous and Permian was a time of extreme continentality due to an exceptional low sea level. So, the huge landmass of Gondwana on its own covered an area of about 73 million km2 (what is more than seven-times the size of Europe), but was covered by epicontinental seas for only about 15%. This means that most of the preserved deposits of this time with many natural resources (mainly coal, natural gas, salt and other minerals) are enclosed in continental successions. It was the time of full terrestrialisation of life, but also the time when the most severe mass extinction in both the marine and the terrestrial ecosystems occurs by the end of the Middle and Late Permian. However, to fully understand the processes and their interrelations in the geo- and biosphere of this time, an exact stratigraphic control and detailed correlation of marine and nonmarine deposits is essential. To approach this big project, during the 2013 International meeting on the Carboniferous and Permian Transition in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the chairs of the Subcommission on Carboniferous Stratigraphy (Barry Richards) and the Subcommission on Permian Stratigraphy (Shuzhong Shen) agreed to organize a joined international working group. Together with the Sino- German Cooperation Project the Freiberg Field Meeting likes to give a platform for this working group and for all related workers from various regions and continental basins to put in their detailed local and regional knowledge. Let us use the meeting to discuss models and to develop new ideas for the solution of global problems. We wish interesting sessions, a successful excursion and a very pleasant stay at the world’s oldest montanous university Bergakademie. Jörg W.

The age assigned to the Kinney Brick Quarry (early-middle Virgilian) has long been based more on its inferred lithostratigraphic position than on biostratigraphic indicators at the quarry. We have developed three datasets —-stratigraphic position, fusulinids and conodonts— that in- dicate the Kinney Brick Quarry is older, of middle Missourian (Kasimovian) age.

New farfield data from the Woodland, 25 Throckley and Rowlands Gill boreholes in northern England allow this inconsistency to 26 be addressed. δ18O from well-preserved late Serpukhovian (late Pendleian to early 27 Arnsbergian) Woodland brachiopods vary between –3.4 and –6.3‰, and δ13C varies 28 between –2.0 and +3.2‰, suggesting a δ18O seawater (w) value of around –1.8‰ 29 VSMOW, and therefore an absence of widespread ice-caps.

    1 Supplementary Materials and Methods 2 S1 Expanded Geologic and Paleogeographic Information 3 The carbonate nodules from Montañez et al., (2007) utilized in this study were collected from well-developed and 4 drained paleosols from: 1) the Eastern Shelf of the Midland Basin (N.C. Texas), 2) Paradox Basin (S.E. Utah), 3) Pedregosa 5 Basin (S.C. New Mexico), 4) Anadarko Basin (S.C. Oklahoma), and 5) the Grand Canyon Embayment (N.C. Arizona) (Fig. 6 1a; Richey et al., (2020)). The plant cuticle fossils come from localities in: 1) N.C. Texas (Lower Pease River [LPR], Lake 7 Kemp Dam [LKD], Parkey’s Oil Patch [POP], and Mitchell Creek [MC]; all representing localities that also provided 8 carbonate nodules or plant organic matter [POM] for Montañez et al., (2007), 2) N.C. New Mexico (Kinney Brick Quarry 9 [KB]), 3) S.E. Kansas (Hamilton Quarry [HQ]), 4) S.E. Illinois (Lake Sara Limestone [LSL]), and 5) S.W. Indiana (sub- 10 Minshall [SM]) (Fig. 1a, S2–4; Richey et al., (2020)). These localities span a wide portion of the western equatorial portion 11 of Euramerica during the latest Pennsylvanian through middle Permian (Fig. 1b). 12 13 S2 Biostratigraphic Correlations and Age Model 14 N.C. Texas stratigraphy and the position of pedogenic carbonate samples from Montañez et al., (2007) and cuticle were 15 inferred from N.C.

Henderson, personal 17 communication, August 2019): (1) The Stockwether Limestone Member of the Pueblo Formation contains Idiognathodus 18 isolatus, indicating that the Carboniferous-Permian boundary (298.9 Ma) and base of the Asselian resides in the Stockwether 19 Limestone (Wardlaw, 2005).

  • A Revision of Tetrapod Footprints from the Late Carboniferous of the West Midlands, UK
    A revision of tetrapod footprints from the late Carboniferous of the West Midlands, UK Luke E. Meade, Andrew S. Jones and Richard J. Butler School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom ABSTRACT A series of sandstone slabs from Hamstead, Birmingham (West Midlands, UK), preserve an assemblage of tetrapod trackways and individual tracks from the Enville Member of the Salop Formation (late Carboniferous: late Moscovian–Kasimovian). This material has received limited previous study, despite being one of the few British sites to preserve Carboniferous tetrapod footprints. Here, we restudy and revise the taxonomy of this material, and document it using 3D models produced using photogrammetry. The assemblage is dominated by large tracks assigned to Limnopus isp., which were made by early amphibians (temnospondyls). A number of similar but smaller tracks are assigned to Batrachichnus salamandroides (also made by temnospondyls). Dimetropus leisnerianus (made by early synapsids) and Dromopus lacertoides (made by lizard-like sauropsids such as araeoscelids) are also present. This ichnofauna contrasts with a slightly stratigraphically older, more extensive and better-studied assemblage from Alveley (Shropshire), which is dominated by small amphibians with relatively rare reptiliomorphs, but which lacks Dromopus tracks. The presence of Dromopus lacertoides at Hamstead is consistent with the trend towards increasing aridity through the late Carboniferous. It is possible that the assemblage is the stratigraphically oldest occurrence of this Submitted 20 September 2016 important amniote ichnotaxon.

Mujal, [email protected] Abstract The Carboniferous–Permian terrestrial successions record a global climatic shift from icehouse to hothouse conditions. Our multidisciplinary study documents an aridification trend throughout the ~1000 m thick composite terrestrial succession of the western Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula), representing this time period. The detailed stratigraphic framework integrates sedimentology, paleopedology, biochronology (plant 1 fossils and tetrapod footprints) and geochronology (paleomagnetism). Additional absolute age correlation is also carried out. The new and reviewed data show that the late Carboniferous wet environments (with short drought periods) progressively changed to a strong seasonal semi-arid and arid climate (with short humid periods) through the early Permian. This paleoclimatic trend supports the previously suggested aridification of the Pangean pan-tropical belt, and supports the hypothesis of the influence of the recurrent climatic fluctuations in Central Pangea, being tentatively correlated to the Southern Gondwanan glaciation-deglaciation periods.
