Orbital-scale climate dynamics impacts on Gzhelian peatland wildfire activity in the Ordos Basin

open access: yes
Abstract. The Carboniferous, an important coal-forming period in geological history, was characterized by extensive vegetation and high oxygen levels. Numerous wildfire evidence suggests that high frequency of wildfire occurred at that time, specifically in peatlands.

LATE CARBONIFEROUS AND EARLY PERMIAN FUSULINOIDEANS IN THE CENTRAL TAURIDES, TURKEY: BIOSTRATIGRAPHY, FAUNAL COMPOSITION AND COMPARISON

open access: yes, 2008
The Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian rock units in the Hadim area, central Taurides, Turkey, are biostratigraphically divided into eleven fusulinoidean zones in ascending order: the Protriticites variabilis, Montiparus umhonoplicatus and ...

Association of late Carboniferous wildfire records with interglacial climate change in North China Platform

open access: yesMeitan xuebao
Currently, global warming driven by anthropogenic factors such as the massive emission of greenhouse gases is gradually transitioning the Earth’s surface climate from a Quaternary glacial period to an interglacial or greenhouse climate, accompanied by ...

Carboniferous carbonate platforms and coral reefs: New insights from southern China

open access: yes, 2020
Metazoan reef builders receded globally during the Carboniferous resulting from the Late Devonian extinction events. During this period, shallow-water bioconstructions are commonly small and scarce, and corals play a minor role in their construction ...

Early Permian Stratigraphy and Sedimentology, NW Devon and SW Ellesmere Islands, Sverdrup Basin (Arctic Canada, Nunavut)

open access: yes
This study investigates the Upper Pennsylvanian (Gzhelian) to Lower Permian (Asselian– Artinskian) succession on NW Devon Island (Grinnell Peninsula) and SW Ellesmere Island (Bjorne Peninsula) along the southern margin of the Sverdrup Basin.

Relationship between continental chemical weathering trends in the North China Basin and the high-latitude glacial cycles from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian

open access: yesMeitian dizhi yu kantan
Objective and Methods The Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA; ca. 360‒254 Ma), the only period recording the transition from icehouse to greenhouse conditions throughout the geological history, can provide a deep-time perspective for glacier-environment ...

A Latest Carboniferous Warming Spike Recorded by a Fusulinid-Rich Bioherm in Timor Leste: Implications for East Gondwana Deglaciation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
During the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic Timor lay in the northern part of the north–south East Gondwana rift system along which the western margin of Australia later developed. Discovery of a latest Gzhelian bioherm in the central highlands of Timor
