A high latitude Devonian lungfish, from the Famennian of South Africa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 New fossil lungfish remains comprising two parasphenoids, tooth plates and scales from the Famennian Witpoort Formation of South Africa are described. From the parasphenoid material, which bears similarity to Oervigia and Sagenodus but is nevertheless ...

Devonian geoheritage of Siberia: A case of the northwestern Kemerovo region of Russia [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Southern Siberia demonstrates significant richness of the geological environment, but its uniqueness remains known poorly. Four geosites represent sections of Givetian–Famennian (Middle–Late Devonian) deposits formed in the tectonically active zone where

A high latitude Gondwanan species of the Late Devonian tristichopterid Hyneria (Osteichthyes: Sarcopterygii) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 We describe the largest bony fish in the Late Devonian (late Famennian) fossil assemblage from Waterloo Farm near Makhanda/Grahamstown, South Africa. It is a giant member of the extinct clade Tristichopteridae (Sarcopterygii: Tetrapodomorpha) and most ...

A new origin of the ‘modern’ lungfish dentition revealed by taxonomic overlap between Devonian and Carboniferous dipnoans [PDF]
PeerJLungfishes (Dipnoi, Sarcopterygii) initially radiated in the Early Devonian, and reached the apogee of their diversity during this period, especially with regard to their dentitions.

Alasemenia, the earliest ovule with three wings and without cupule [PDF]
eLifeThe ovules or seeds (fertilized ovules) with wings are widespread and especially important for wind dispersal. However, the earliest ovules in the Famennian of the Late Devonian are rarely known about the dispersal syndrome and usually surrounded by a ...

Bryozoan Diversity Dynamics at the Devonian–Carboniferous Transition: Evidence from Transcaucasia
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The Devonian–Carboniferous transition was marked by a series of perturbations in the geological and biological evolution. The palaeontological data from Transcaucasia allowed the bryozoan diversity dynamics on the northern Gondwanan margin (southern ...

Stratigraphy of the Upper Devonian - Lower Carboniferous of south-west of Lyzha-Kyrtael swell (Pechora Plate eastward) [PDF]
Нефтегазовая геология: Теория и практика, 2023 A new local stratigraphic scheme is proposed for the upper Famennian - Serpukhovian interval of the south-west of Lyzha-Kyrtael Swell. The stratigraphic sequence is composed of the Famennian carbonates of the Kamenka Formation, the Famennian - middle ...

FAMENNIAN CONODONTS FROM KAL-E-SARDAR SECTION, EASTERN TABAS, CENTRAL IRAN
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2009 Sixty-three conodont species and subspecies from the Kal-e-Sardar section indicate that the strata span early to late Famennian. Contrary to most of the sections measured in the Shishtu Formation, the icriodid-polygnathid biofacies is restricted to the ...
