Acherontiscus caledoniae: the earliest heterodont and durophagous tetrapod [PDF]
The enigmatic tetrapod Acherontiscus caledoniae from the Pendleian stage of the Early Carboniferous shows heterodontous and durophagous teeth, representing the earliest known examples of significant adaptations in tetrapod dental morphology. Tetrapods of

Biostratigraphy of the Upper Devonian–Lower Carboniferous deposits in Til-Abad section, northeast Shahrud, Eastern Alborz [PDF]
The biostratigraphy of Devonian–Carboniferous (D/C) boundary of Til-Abad section in Eastern alborz is carried out in this study. The studied section is located about 85 km of northeast Shahrud city and close to the Shahrud–Azadshahr road.

A platysomid occurrence from the Tournaisian of Nova Scotia
The Hangenberg extinction has been hypothesized as a first order event in vertebrate evolution; however, information on the earliest Carboniferous vertebrate fauna, crucial in evaluating biodiversity changes, is scarce.

The lower actinopterygian fauna from the Lower Carboniferous Albert shale formation of New Brunswick, Canada – a review of previously described taxa and a description of a new genus and species [PDF]
The Lower Carboniferous Albert shale formation of New Brunswick, Canada, is well-known for the preservation of countless articulated lower actinopterygian palaeoniscoid fishes. This site is at the boundary between the Devonian and the Lower Carboniferous,

Bivalves and brachiopods in the Carboniferous - Early Permian of Argentine Precordillera: Diversification and faunal turnover in Southwestern Gondwana [PDF]
Diversification patterns and faunistic turnovers of bivalves and brachiopods through the Carboniferous - Early Permian interval in the central western Argentinian basins are analyzed and compared with the global events proposed in former studies.

Early Carboniferous (Early Viséan – Serpukhovian) Palynomorphs
Abstract. Well preserved assemblages of Early Carboniferous miospores have been recovered from a number of wells including A1–NC92, A1–37, A1 A–84, B1–2, G1–82, B1–14 and J1–81A. In some cases the palynomorph assemblages are quantitatively sparse and frequently show evidence of reworking of Late Devonian forms.

Biostratigraphy of the Upper Devonian-Lower Carboniferous deposits in Mighan section, northeast Shahrood, Eastern Alborz [PDF]
The Devonian/Carboniferous (DC) transition is characterized by several transgressive/regressive cycles which led to a widespread ocean anoxia known as the Hangenberg Black Shale Event (HBS), close to the D/C boundary a major sea-level fall (Hangenberg ...

The fossil record of early tetrapods: worker effort and the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]
It is important to understand the quality of the fossil record of early tetrapods (Tetrapoda, minus Lissamphibia and Amniota) because of their key role in the transition of vertebrates from water to land, their dominance of terrestrial faunas for over ...
