Improved blattoid insect and conchostracan zonation for the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian, of Euramerica
For the biostratigraphy of mixed continental-marine and purely continental sections in the palaeotropical belt of Euramerica, 9 insect and 8 conchostracan zones are newly defined or improved. These zones encompass the time interval from the Early Pennsylvanian (middle Bashkirian) up into the early Permian (early Asselian) of the Euramercian biotic...Schneider, Joerg W ; Scholze, Frank ; Ross, Andrew J ; Blake, Bascombe M ; Lucas, Spencer G
