Paseo de Ronda 47, 15011 A Coruña (Spain). [email protected] ABSTRACT A stratigraphic description of the Devonian and Carboniferous pre-Variscan rocks of the Pyrenees is presented. The successions are grouped into sedimentary domains that replace the “facies areas” proposed by previous authors for areas with homogeneous stratigraphy. The description of the sedimentary filling is divided into temporal intervals, where the previous stratigraphic correlation, based on lithological criteria, is supplemented by faunal data, especially conodont findings. A simple palaeogeographic model of the sedimentation during the Upper Palaeozoic and data related to southern boundary between the Pyrenean basin and the Cantabro-Ebroian Massif are discussed. Keywords: Devonian, Carboniferous, conodonts, Pyrenees, stratigraphy. RESUMEN Se ha realizado una descripción estratigráfica de las rocas devónicas y carboníferas pre- variscas de los Pirineos. Las sucesiones son agrupadas en dominios sedimentarios que sustituyen a las “áreas de facies” propuestas por los autores previos para zonas con una estratigrafía homogénea. La descripción del relleno sedimentario está dividida en intervalos de tiempo, donde la correlación estratigráfica basada en criterios litológicos está incrementada por los datos faunísticos, sobre todo los hallazgos de conodontos.

The Eastern Amessoui Syncline – a Hotspot for Silurian to Carboniferous Cephalopod Research

Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 The eastern Amessoui Syncline – a hotspot for Silurian to Carboniferous cephalopod research Klug, Christian ; Pohle, Alexander Abstract: Introduction : The Moroccan eastern Anti-Atlas comprises two large regions with vast out- crops of Palaeozoic rocks, the Maïder and Tafilalt (HOLLARD 1967, 1970, 1974), which have become world-reknown for Palaeozoic cephalopods, trilobites, and other groups (e.g. TERMIER TERMIER 1950; MASSA 1965). Palaeogeographically, these regions correspond to the Maïder and Tafilalt Basins, which are divided by the south-north running Tafilalt Platform (WENDT et al. 1984; WENDT 1985, 1988; BAIDDER et al. 2016). This platform was submerged throughout the Silurian to Early Carbonif- erous and is characterized by often condensed, highly fossiliferous sedimentary sequences. Especially the Devonian succession (Fig. 1) crops out in a series of east-west oriented synclines. The largest of which was dubbed Amessoui Syncline after the mountain Jebel Amessoui (Fig. 2). At the western end of this syncline, the Devonian succession is much thicker than in the east because it was situated on the slope toward the Maïder Basin. In the eastern half of the syncline, the Middle to Late Devonian succession is much reduced in thickness because of the position on the Tafilalt Platform. The localities El Atrous, Filon 12, Jebel Ouaoufilal, Takkat Ou El Heyene, and El Khraouia are all situated on theformer platform and accordingly are rich in pelagic fossil communities, especially cephalopods. In many layers, cephalopods occur in nearly rock-forming numbers, which can be considered as Konzentratlagerstätte sensu SEILACHER (1970, 1990).

Tun development of the ammonites cannot be discussed independently of the evolution of their Palaeozoic forerunners, the goniatites, and the earlier types of these, again, are very intimately allied to the ancestral nautiloids. Although some- what diffident of casting so wide a net, I feel that the problem of the evolution of the Cephalopoda must be restated. In the past, what in my opinion are erroneous views of the development of the Ammonoidea have been popularisedlargelythrough the enthusiasm of workers who were attracted to the subject but had little practical experience of ammonites, and who too often were inclined to treat these fossils not as the remains of natural organisms but as material for speculation. This article, however, not only criticises the prevalent view that the ammonites, like the ancestral goniatites and Clymenia, arose from a straight nautiloid (Bactrites) and then hurried through the early stages of coiling before uncoiling again towards the end of their career; it also discusses various views put forward by workers on the primitive nautiloids.

LOWER AND MIDDLE DEVONIAN FORELAND BASIN FILL IN THE CATSKILL FRONT: STRATrGRAPHIC SYNTHESIS, SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY, AND THE ACADIAN OROGENY CHARLES A. VER STRAETEN AND CARLTON E. BRETT Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences University of Rochester Rochester, New York 14627 INTRODUCTION Modem stratigraphic study has come to be increasingly based on high resolution subdivision of the sedimentary record through detailed event and cyclic analysis. The recognition and correlation of unique single event horizons (e.g., altered volcanic ashes, shell marker beds, faunal epiboles and immigration events) and genetically-related depositional sequences permits microstratigraphic subdivision of the rock record at a finer scale than is possible through classical methods of bio- and lithostratigraphy. "Layer cake" stratigraphy , once the bane of stratigraphic thought, has again emerged in modified form through the application of "Event" (Kauffinan., 1988) and "Sequence Stratigraphic" (Van Wagoner et al., 1988) methods. The construction of a refined microstratigraphic framework of strata permits detailed analysis of the timing and nature of events in the rock record. Short term dynamics in the history of a basin are recorded by: sharp transitions between intrabasinal and extrabasinal sedimentation; clustered volcanogenic strata; condensed beds and minor unconformities; abrupt changes in faunas and short-term incursions of exotic faunas; cyclic sedimentation; and eustatic- and tectonic-controlled changes in relative sea level. A detailed, correlatable framework oflarge and small scale events helps unravel the history of a sedimentary basin. The late Early and Middle Devonian was a very dynamic time on the margin of the Eastern Interior of North America. A continent-continent collision, subsequent subsidence and infilling of an adjacent sedimentary foreland basin, and the evolution and migration of major faunas are recorded in the rocks of the Catskill Front in eastern New York State.

Bapst <[email protected]> BugReports https://github.com/dwbapst/paleotree/issues Description Provides tools for transforming, a posteriori time-scaling, and modifying phylogenies containing extinct (i.e. fossil) lineages. In particular, most users are interested in the functions timePaleoPhy, bin_timePaleoPhy, cal3TimePaleoPhy and bin_cal3TimePaleoPhy, which date cladograms of fossil taxa using stratigraphic data. This package also contains a large number of likelihood functions for estimating sampling and diversification rates from different types of data available from the fossil record (e.g. range data, occurrence data, etc). paleotree users can also simulate diversification and sampling in the fossil record using the function simFossilRecord, which is a detailed simulator for branching birth-death-sampling processes composed of discrete taxonomic units arranged in ancestor-descendant relationships. Users can use simFossilRecord to simulate diversification in incompletely sampled fossil records, under various models of morphological differentiation (i.e. the various patterns by which morphotaxa originate from one another), and with time-dependent, longevity-dependent and/or diversity-dependent rates of diversification, extinction and sampling. Additional functions allow users to translate simulated ancestor-descendant data from simFossilRecord into standard time-scaled phylogenies or unscaled cladograms that reflect the relationships among taxon units.

" $ /0& $ Anatomy of Middle Devonian Faunal Turnover in Eastern North America: Implications for Global Bioevents at the Eifelian-Givetian Stage Boundary A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School University of Cincinnati in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geology McMicken College of Arts and Sciences November 2010 By Michael K. DeSantis B.A., Boston University, 1992 M.S., University of Idaho, 1996 Committee Chair: Carlton E. Brett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The late Eifelian-earliest Givetian interval (Middle Devonian) represents a time of significant faunal turnover both in the eastern North America and globally, herein termed the Late Eifelian Biocrisis. A synthesis of biostratigraphic, K-bentonite, and sequence stratigraphic data, indicates that physical and biotic events in the Appalachian foreland basin sections in New York are coeval with the predominantly carbonate platform sections of the adjacent midcontinent. The succession includes portions of three distinctive benthic faunas or ecological-evolutionary sub- units (EESUs): ‘Onondaga’, ‘lower Marcellus’, and ‘Hamilton’. In the northern Appalachian Basin in New York the boundaries of these bioevents show evidence of abrupt, widespread extinctions/extirpations, immigration and ecological restructuring. Regional analysis of faunas shows that EESUs comparable to the northern Appalachian Basin succession are recognizable within the coeval carbonate ramp and platform strata of central Ohio and southeastern Indiana, as well as in the Michigan Basin. However, faunas of the Wabash Platform area of central Ohio and southeastern Indiana show slightly higher persistence compared to those of the Appalachian Basin, indicating that the Wabash Platform served as a refuge for species extirpated from the Appalachian Basin by environmental changes brought on by tectonic and eustatic deepening.
The First Great Devonian Flooding Episodes In

THE FIRST GREAT DEVONIAN FLOODING EPISODES IN WESTERN NEW YORK: REEXAMINATION OF UNION SPRINGS, OATKA CREEK, AND SKANEATELES FORMATION SUCCESSIONS (LA TEST EIFELIAN- LOWER GIVETIAN) IN THE BUFFALO-SENECA LAKE REGION Baird, G.C., Department of Geosciences, State University of New York College at Fredonia, Fredonia, New York 14063; Brett, C.E., Department of Geology, University of Cincinnati, 500 Geology/Physics Building, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221; Ver Straeten, C., Department of Geology, University ofWisconsin: Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54901 INTRODUCTION The lower (sub-Ludlowville Formation) part of the Hamilton Group in western New York has received little attention by geologists owing to poor exposure and to the perception that it is composed essentially of drab, unfossiliferous deposits. Reexamination of numerous sections and several subsurface cores of Onondaga Group and lower Hamilton Group strata by Brett and Ver Straeten (1994) and Ver Straeten et al. ( 1994) has led to significant revisions of published correlational schemes (Rickard, 197 5, 1984). In particular, the old formational division of the lower Hamilton Group (Marcellus Formation) has been elevated to subgroup status and is now understood to include two formational entities (Ver Straeten et al., 1994); the Union Springs Formation (Bakoven Member-Hurley Member-succession) comprises the lower part of the Marcellus subgroup and the Oatka Creek Formation (Cherry Valley Member through Chittenango Member-succession) represents the upper part (Fig. 1). The above terminology of Ver Straeten et al. (1994) is employed herein (Figs. 1, 2). Two of us (Baird, Brett) are involved in ongoing revision of the Union Springs-through-Skaneateles formational successions across central and western New York as, well as central Pennsylvania.
