During the mid-Palaeozoic, vascular land plants (ie, tracheophytes) underwent a great
radiation that triggered the development of the land biosphere–the so-called Silurian …

Abstract The Devonian Period experienced the proliferation of vascular plants and had the
highest levels of carbonate production, reef-building, and marine faunal diversity in the …

Abstract The Palaeozoic to Mesozoic igneous and metamorphic basement rocks exposed in
the Mérida Andes of Venezuela and the Santander Massif of Colombia are generally …

Lag time is the difference between the closure age of a thermochronologic system and the
depositional age of host strata. Lag-time analysis of sedimentary basin fill provides insight …

This paper reviews information on the Devonian trees that evolved in the euphyllophyte
clade with special focus on the Middle Devonian Pseudosporochnales. The morphology of …

The radiation of vascular plants during the mid to late Paleozoic has been considered one of
the most important drivers of change in Earth's terrestrial environments. Non-marine …

The terrestrialization of life has profoundly affected the biosphere, geosphere and
atmosphere, and the Geological Magazine has published key works charting the …

Terrestrialization probably began more than one billion years ago and irreversibly altered
biogeochemical processes at planetary scale. In this paper, we focus on the terrestrialization …

Although most recent studies regard the northern Andes primarily as a low-shortening
inversion orogen, new mapping and thermochronology along the paired basement-involved …

The continental basement, east of the Otú–Pericos Fault, is made up of two sectors with
different geological histories. The western sector, comprised of Payandé, and Payandé San …
