Morphological disparity trends in Devonian trilobites from North Africa
Abstract The Devonian was a time of drastic environmental change that shaped the morphology of trilobites. This study aims to investigate their morphological evolution and to show the influence of some abiotic and biotic factors (bathymetry, feeding habits and visual abilities) on their shape.

The role of sea-level change and marine anoxia in the Frasnian-Famennian (Late Devonian) mass extinction [PDF]
Johnson et al. (Johnson, J.G., Klapper, G., Sandberg, C.A., 1985. Devonian eustatic fluctuations in Euramerica. Geological Society of America Bulletin 96, 567–587) proposed one of the first explicit links between marine anoxia, transgression and mass ...

Upper Kellwasser carbon isotope excursion pre-dates the F–F boundary in the Upper Devonian Lennard shelf carbonate system, Canning Basin, Western Australia [PDF]
Here we report four high-resolution carbon isotope records in addition to trace element data for the Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) boundary interval in the Lennard Shelf carbonate system of the Canning Basin, Western Australia.

UPPER FRASNIAN (UPPER DEVONIAN) BRYOZOANS IN PROXIMAL FACIES OF SOUTHERN BELGIUM
Seven bryozoan species are described from the shallow-water Aisemont and Lambermont formations (upper rhenana Conodont zone, upper Frasnian) in southern Belgium. The studied interval is situated between the lower and upper Kellwasser events.

Late Devonian (Famennian) jaws: the icriodid multielement apparatus and its function [PDF]
In this study the conodont multielement apparatus of Late Devonian (Famennian) Icriodus altematus is described which has been reconstructed from clustered group findings and separated elements.

Nonparametric estimation of age–depth models from sedimentological and stratigraphic information [PDF]
Age–depth models are fundamental tools used in all geohistorical disciplines. They assign stratigraphic positions to ages (e.g., in drill cores or outcrops), which is necessary to estimate rates of past environmental change and establish timing of events

The World's Highest-Grade Cobalt Mineralization at Bou Azzer Associated With Gondwana Supercontinent Breakup, Serpentinite and Kellwasser Hydrocarbon Source Rocks [PDF]
Cobalt arsenide deposits associated with Neoproterozoic serpentinite in Morocco represent the highest-grade cobalt resource worldwide. Yet, genetic models for their origin remain controversial.

Revision of the Late Devonian ptyctodonts (Vertebrata, Placodermi) from southern Poland [PDF]
New studies on Frasnian ptyctodonts, including the revision of historic material in addition to the description of new material, have resulted in the detailed description of two species of Ptyctodus (Ptyctodus obliquus, Ptyctodus kielcensis), eight ...
