Low atmospheric CO(2) levels during the Permo- Carboniferous glaciation inferred from fossil lycopsids.
Earth history was punctuated during the Permo-Carboniferous [300-250 million years (Myr) ago] by the longest and most severe glaciation of the entire Phanerozoic Eon. But significant uncertainty surrounds the concentration of CO(2) in the atmosphere through this time interval and therefore its role in the evolution of this major prePleistocene glaciation. Here, I derive 24 Late Paleozoic CO(2) ...
متن کاملNew fossil fish microremains from the Upper Carboniferous of eastern North Greenland
The Moscovian of eastern North Greenland has yielded an assemblage dominated by teeth and dermal denticles of chondrichthyans with rarer teeth of actinopterygians. The rather poor preservation of the material precludes precise identification but the following taxa have been recorded: Adamantina foliacea, Bransonella spp., Denaea sp., “Stemmatias” simplex, Lagarodus specularis, Actinopterygii in...
متن کاملA Late Carboniferous fossil scorpion from the Piesberg, near Osnabrück, Germany
The Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Coal Measures of Europe and North America have yielded nearly forty accepted scorpion species (Fet et al. 2000); over a third of the known fossil fauna. On the face of it, scorpions would appear to be one of the most diverse groups found within these Coal Measures environments. However, at least some taxa seem to be of questionable validity, having been ra...
متن کاملX-ray micro-tomography of Carboniferous stem-Dictyoptera: new insights into early insects.
Computer reconstructions of Archimylacris eggintoni, a Carboniferous stem-group dictyopteran ('roachoid'), are presented. A siderite-hosted specimen was scanned using high-resolution X-ray microtomography (µCT), and a 'virtual fossil' was created with a resolution of 17.7 µm. This has revealed the morphology in great detail, including adhesive limb structures indicative of climbing and speciali...
