The Uplift of Armorica and the Bretonian Movements of the Variscan Orogeny‐New Insights From Detrital Zircons in the Early Carboniferous Terrigenous Rocks of the Laval Basin (Armorican Massif, France)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract In the French Armorican Massif, the Bretonian phase of the Variscan orogeny has been defined by the Late Devonian (Famennian‐Frasnian) erosion gap, and the Early Carboniferous (Tournaisian) syntectonic terrigenous deposits of the l’Huisserie formation in the Laval basin in the Central‐North Armorican Domain, ascribed to the Armorica ...

The early gephuroceratid ammonoids from the Roteisenstein Formation of Dillenburg (Cephalopoda, Ammonoidea)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
The ammonoids of the suborder Gephuroceratina from the Roteisenstein (Red Ironstone) Formation of the area around Dillenburg (eastern Rhenish Mountains) are revised, mainly based on historical collections stored in the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin. The

How to engineer a habitable planet: the rise of marine ecosystem engineers through the Phanerozoic

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modify their physical habitats in a way that alters resource availability and the structure of the communities they live in. The evolution of ecosystem engineers over the course of Earth history has thus been suggested to have been a driver of macroevolutionary and macroecological changes that are ...

Late Eifelian and Early Givetian ostracod assemblages from Wellin, Hotton and On-Jemelle (Ardenne, Dinant Synclinorium, Belgium). Paleoenvironmental implications

open access: yes, 2015
The study of 3430 ostracods collected in the Lomme, Hanonet and Trois-Fontaines formations (Late Eifelian/Early Givetian) in four sections of the Dinant Synclinorium (Ardenne) allowed the recognition of more than 75 taxa.

Mouthpart morphology and feeding structures in the palaeocharinid trigonotarbids of the Rhynie chert: insights from comparisons to modern arachnids

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Trigonotarbida, an extinct order of spider‐like arachnids, were significant predators between the late Silurian and early Permian. Characterized by their segmented opisthosoma, clasp‐knife chelicera, and paired book lungs, they played a pivotal role in the formation of Early Devonian terrestrial ecosystems.

The “elongate chelicera problem”: A virtual approach in an extinct pterygotid sea scorpion from a 3D kinematic point of view

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
How pterygotid sea scorpions used their tripartite elongate cheliceres to get prey items close to the mouth region remains a conundrum. We applied four different 3D kinematic settings with regard to insertion and orientation of the cheliceres to examine the most likely way this was realized.

Magmatic, Metamorphic and Structural History of the Variscan Lizard Ophiolite and Metamorphic Sole, Cornwall, UK

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract The Lizard ophiolite, Cornwall, South‐West England, is the largest and best‐preserved ophiolite within the Variscan orogenic belt. It forms part of the Rheic‐Rhenohercynian suture zone, and was obducted northwestward onto the passive continental margin of Avalonia (Laurussia) during the Middle Devonian.

Middle to upper Devonian (givetian and frasnian) shallow-water carbonates of Western Europe: fades analysis and cyclicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The Middle and Upper Devonian (Givetian-Frasnian) shallow-water carbonate facies of western Europe were deposited as a large-scale transgressive succession over continental facies of the Old Red Continent.
