The warm climate and floods of the Devonian period produced fishes, ammonoids, and reefs but it also accommodated two of the biggest mass extinction events ever. This collection of 12 articles, which includes a tribute presented to the achievements of Michael Robert House, shows how an interdisciplinary approach combining biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy sequence stratigraphy and event stratigraphy exposed what was previously secret about the Devonian period. Topics include pelagic correlation in areas of Morocco, sequence stratigraphy and depositional evidence in the Appalachian Valley, tectonics and faunal provinciality in east-central North America, the Kacak Event and its implications for understanding land-sea interactions, Givetian brachiopod-goniatite correlation in the Dra Valley, mass extinction in Germany, environmental changes detected by magnetic and geochemical studies in central Moroccotetrapods of the Late Devonian, implications found in the record of Gondwana, and the carboniferous boundary of Morocco and Algeria.

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. The Devonian was a peculiar period, characterized by simplified plate tectonic configurations, climatic overheating and widely flooded continents. The bloom of fishes and ammonoids, extensive reef complexes, and the conquest of land indicate major biosphere innovations, punctuated by many global events, including two of the biggest mass extinctions. The Devonian was the first system for which subdivisions were formally defined. This was achieved by significant advances in pelagic biostratigraphy. The chronostratigraphic framework and interdisciplinary techniques allow us to correlate intervals or sudden events across facies boundaries, in order to reconstruct the sedimentary and evolutionary history of the system with highest precision. This volume honors the lifetime stratigraphic achievements of Michael Robert House (1930-2002). Based on case studies from Europe, North Africa and North America, it shows how the combination of biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and event stratigraphy can contribute to a much deeper understanding of both regional and global environmental change.
