The Devonian-Carboniferous Boundary around the globe: a complement

This article compiles data on the Devonian-Carboniferous Boundary successions from countries and regions, which have not been dealt with separately in this special issue. Data derive different palaeocontinents a large palaeoclimatic gradient southern high latitudes of western Gondwana through palaeotropics into temperate/boreal northern Siberia. The quality is variable, but often surprisingly good, although major uncertainties can persist traditional positions boundary do withhold modern stratigraphic results concepts. Not all these regions forefront DCB discussions recent years, they provide invaluable insights regional global dimensions uppermost Devonian lowermost Carboniferous changes biosphere geosphere.
