Reefs are an excellent tool for tracking marine-ecosystem changes, especially through mass
extinction transitions. Although metazoan reefs proliferated during the Phanerozoic …

Tectonic and sedimentary mélanges, rocks with block‐in‐matrix fabric often referred to as

Reef development in the Famennian and Carboniferous successions of Belgium is more
common than previously thought, and 10 broad time intervals of reef development can be …

Rugose corals are one of the major fossil groups in shallow-water environments. They

Analysis of Mississippian coral assemblages from the Khenifra region of Central Morocco
together with data from foraminiferal/algal microfossils has established new age dating of 5 …

Late Mississippian carbonates in southern Montagne Noire are dominantly domical to
laterally‐accreted microbial mounds in some formations, as well as stratiform microbial …

Reefs are sensitive proxies for palaeontological, palaeoenvironmental, and
palaeogeographical changes during geological history. In South China, after the collapse of …

The tectonosedimentary and lithostratigraphic units of the Mont Peyroux nappe and
Cabrières klippes, in the southeastern Montagne Noire, are revised. The Mont Peyroux …
