Determination of the bashkirian-Moscovian boundary in the volga region via conodont species declinognathodus donetzianus nemirovskaya

The selection of the global biomarker of the lower boundary of the Moscovian stages is one of the pressing issues of Carboniferous stratigraphy. Several solutions are suggested for this problem: Diplognathodus ellesmerensis Bender, Streptognathodus expansus (Igo & Koike) and Idiognathoides postsulcatus Nemirovskaya. The conodont species Declinognathodus donetzianus Nemirovskaya is one of the most prospective. It was detected in the rock sections of west Europe, the Donets Basin, the Moscow Syneclise, south Ural and the Appalachian Basin. The Volga region is also one of the places where Declinognathodus donetzianus Nemirovskaya is often met and this article is dedicated to detailed analysis of this species. © Cambridge University Press 2014

New data on conodonts from the Kasimovian Stage of the Usolka section, southern Ural Mountains

© 2015, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Conodonts from the Moscovian–Kasimovian boundary beds of the Usolka section (southern Ural Mountains) are studied. Morphological features of conodont elements are analyzed and the main taxonomically significant characters of conodonts from the Moscovian–Kasimovian boundary are revealed. These characters are intended for the establishment of reliable determination of index species of the lower boundary of the Kasimovian Stage of the International Stratigraphic Chart. The most promising species marking this border is apparently “Streptognathodus” subexcelsus Alekseev et Goreva
