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.

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.

Indiana (sub- 10 Minshall [SM]) (Fig. 1a, S2–4; Richey et al., (2020)).

  • 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.

ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER >^v Sent Free upon A Little Hand-Book Request For all Music Lovers Here is a little book with a big thought back of it. Henry T. Finck, the noted author and musi- cal critic, has done for music what President Eliot did for literature in his much discussed " five foot library." Taking the great PIANOLA catalog of over 15,000 titles, Mr. Finck has selected 130 choice pieces that he specially recommends. Moreover, he has grouped them into " Twenty Musical Evenings," so that they represent a fascinating plan for home entertainment. Each program is followed by interesting comments. The book is a sort of Pianolist's " Baedeker," guiding the novice in the selection of music which is both first-class and popular. The PIANOLA PIANO Opens Up a Wonderful Field of Home Entertainment Anyone who reads this little book can- is the only one that the great pianists not fail to be impressed with the un- themselves are willing to endorse. limited enjoyment that the PIANOLA Only in the PIANOLA and PIAN- Piano brings into the home.

  • 1 Correlation of the Base of the Serpukhovian Stage
    Correlation of the base of the Serpukhovian Stage (Carboniferous; Mississippian) in northwest Europe GEORGE D. SEVASTOPULO* & MILO BARHAM✝ *Department of Geology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland ✝Milo Barham, Department of Applied Geology, Curtin University of Technology, GPO Box U1987, Perth, WA 6845, Australia Author for correspondence: [email protected] Running head: Correlation base Serpukhovian northwest Europe Abstract - The Task Group charged with proposing the GSSP for the base of the Serpukhovian Stage (Mississippian: Lower Carboniferous) is likely to use the global First Appearance Datum (FAD: evolutionary first appearance) of the conodont Lochriea ziegleri in the lineage Lochriea nodosa-L. ziegleri for the definition and correlation of the base of the stage. It is important to establish that the FOD (First Occurrence Datum) of L. ziegleri in different basins is essentially penecontemporaneous. Ammonoids provide high-resolution biostratigraphy in the late Mississippian but their use for international correlation is limited by provincialism. However, it is possible to assess the levels of diachronism of the FOD of L. ziegleri in sections in northwest Europe using ammonoid zones. Published compilations of conodont distribution in the Rhenish Slate Mountains of Germany show the FOD of L. ziegleri in the Emstites novalis Biozone (upper part of the P2c zone of the British/Irish ammonoid biozonation) but L. ziegleri has also been reported as occurring in the Neoglyphioceras spirale Biozone (P1d zone). In the Yoredale Group of northern England, the FOD of L. ziegleri is in either the P1c or P1d zone. In NW Ireland, the oldest records of both L. nodosa and L. ziegleri are from the Lusitanoceras granosum Biozone (P2a).

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.
