SP512 The Carboniferous Timescale

Edited by S. G. Lucas, J. W. Schneider, X. Wang and S. Nikolaeva

The Carboniferous was the time of the assembly of Pangaea, most of the late Paleozoic ice ages and the accumulation of vast coal deposits. This book reviews the Carboniferous timescale and includes comprehensive analyses of Carboniferous radioisotopic ages, magnetostratigraphy, isotope-based correlations, cyclostratigraphy and timescale-relevant marine and non-marine biostratigraphy and biochronology.
