Different order cyclicity of the Paleozoic reef formation
There are five great cycles of reef formation in Paleozoic — Early Cambrian, Middle—Late Ordovician, Silu-rian—Devonian, Late Visean—Serpukhovian and Permian.

The fossil history of pseudoscorpions (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) [PDF]
Pseudoscorpions, given their resemblance to scorpions, have attracted human attention since the time of Aristotle, although they are much smaller and lack the sting and elongated tail. These arachnids have a long evolutionary history but their origins

Late Devonian red tide and mass extinction
Molecular stratigraphical, carbonate carbon isotopic, stratigraphical and paleontological data show that algal booming, eutrophication, anoxia, hypersalinity, positive δ13C excursion and biomass decreasing occurred in the offshore carbonate environments of the Frasnian-Famennian (F-F) transition, which hints that red tide might frequently take place in

Lower Wenlock black shales in the northern Holy Cross Mountains, Poland: Sedimentary and geochemical controls on the Ireviken Event in a deep marine setting [PDF]
The stratigraphic variability and geochemistry of Llandovery/Wenlock (L/W) Series boundary sediments in Poland reveals that hemipelagic sedimentation under an anoxic/euxinic water column was interrupted by low density bottom currents or detached diluted ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

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 ...

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.

Amplification of Immune Genes in Ancient Stony Corals for Adapting to Unstable Marine Environments
The Late Devonian period was known for disturbances such as lower temperatures and abnormal ocean carbon and nitrogen levels, leading to the extinction of approximately 21% of genus-level and 16% of family-level marine organisms.
