Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A new Early Devonian antiarch placoderm from Belarus, and the phylogeny of Asterolepidoidei [PDF]
A new asterolepidoid antiarch, Sherbonaspis talimaae sp. nov., is described based on the disarticulated skeletal elements from several boreholes in Belarus, from the Lepel Beds of the Vitebsk Formation, which has been assigned to an Early Devonian, late ...

The Class Strophomenata (Brachiopoda) in Devonian deposits from the state of Paraná: a case study
The Strophomenata are extinct and presumably confined to the Paleozoic Rhynchonelliformea brachiopods. The class comprises the orders Strophomenida, Productida, Orthotetida, and Billingsellida.

Ichnological Research of Silurian–Devonian Strata and the Zoophycos Distribution in the Paraná Basin
The Silurian–Devonian strata of the Paraná Basin (southern Brazil) have a wide variety of ichnofossils. The first records date from the beginning of the last century, with pioneering studies in 1912 addressing the Furnas and Ponta Grossa formations ...

The role of conodonts in the global stratigraphic correlation on example of southern Siberia (Russia) and eastern Serbia [PDF]
Conodonts are very precise tools for global stratigraphic correlation of Devonian deposits. They can be correlated at the level of standard conodont zones even for basins having very different geological structure.

Was the Devonian placoderm Titanichthys a suspension feeder? [PDF]
Large nektonic suspension feeders have evolved multiple times. The apparent trend among apex predators for some evolving into feeding on small zooplankton is of interest for understanding the associated shifts in anatomy and behaviour, while the spatial ...

Fossils of Devonian ammonoids are abundant and well-preserved in the Anti-Atlas of Morocco; as such they provide an invaluable record of regional morphological disparity changes (diversity of shapes) that characterise the first steps of ammonoid ...
