Sinossi

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.
