Carboniferous and Permian magmatism in Scotland

A review of the Carboniferous and Permian trilobites of Australia.

The first complete review of the Carboniferous and Permian trilobite species found within Australia is presented to assess the current standing of Australian taxa in a modern systematic context. The review consists of four families, 20 genera and 61 known species from the early Tournaisian to Moscovian (358.9 Ma to 304 Ma), throughout New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia and Queensland....

Plant Biodiversity Partitioning in the Late Carboniferous and Early Permian and Its Implications for Ecosystem Assembly

Enigmatic Fossils from the Lower Carboniferous Shrimp Bed, Granton, Scotland

The Lower Carboniferous (Visean) Granton Lagerstätte (Edinburgh, Scotland) is principally known for the discovery of the conodont animal, but has also yielded numerous crustaceans and other faunas. Here we report on small branching colonies, reaching 10 mm in length. They are small, erect, arborescent, and irregularly branched with predominant monopodial and dichotomous growth. They bud in a si...
