Idiognathoides
''Idiognathoides'' is an extinct genus of conodonts. Glen K. Merrill stated in 1963 that "conodont workers have considered ''Idiognathoides'' to be a junior synonym of '' Polygnathodella'' but it now proves to be a junior synonym of '' Cavusgnathus''. ''Polygnathodella'' and ''Cavusgnathus'' are shown to form a transitional series."Polygnathodella Harlton, 1933, or Idiognathoides Harris and Hollingsworth, 1933? Glen K. Merrill, Journal of Paleontology, March 1963, volume 37, issue 2abstract Use in stratigraphy The Bashkirian, the oldest age of the Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous), contains six biozones based on conodont index fossils, one of which contains an ''Idiognathoides'' species : the zone of ''Idiognathoides sinuatus''.

Bashkirian
The Bashkirian is in the ICS geologic timescale the lowest stage or oldest age of the Pennsylvanian. The Bashkirian age lasted from to Ma, is preceded by the Serpukhovian and is followed by the Moscovian. The Bashkirian overlaps with the upper part of the Namurian and lower part of the Westphalian stages from regional European stratigraphy. It also overlaps with the North American Morrowan and Atokan stages and the Chinese Luosuan and lower Huashibanian stages. Name and definition The Bashkirian was named after Bashkiria, the then Russian name of the republic of Bashkortostan in the southern Ural Mountains of Russia, home of the Bashkir people. The stage was introduced by Russian stratigrapher Sofia Semikhatova in 1934. The base of the Bashkirian is at the first appearance of conodont species ''Declinognathodus noduliferus''. The top of the stage (the base of the Moscovian) is at the first appearance of the conodonts ''Declinognathodus donetzianus'' or ''Idiognathoides ...

Moscovian (Carboniferous)
The Moscovian is in the ICS geologic timescale a stage or age in the Pennsylvanian, the youngest subsystem of the Carboniferous. The Moscovian age lasted from to Ma, is preceded by the Bashkirian and is followed by the Kasimovian. The Moscovian overlaps with the European regional Westphalian stage and the North American Atokan and Desmoinesian stages. Name and definition The Moscovian Stage was introduced by Sergei Nikitin (1850 - 1909) in 1890, using brachiopods in the Moscow Basin of European Russia. Nikitin named the stage after Moscow, then a major city and now the capital of Russia. The base of the Moscovian is close to the first appearances of the conodonts '' Declinognathodus donetzianus'' and '' Idiognathoides postsulcatus'' or otherwise the fusulinid ''Aljutovella aljutovica''. Because the fusulinid species are regionally different, they can not be used for worldwide correlation. A Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point for the Moscovian Stage has yet t ...

List Of Global Boundary Stratotype Sections And Points
This is a list of Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points. Since 1977, Global Boundary Stratotype Sections and Points (abbreviated GSSPs) are internationally agreed upon reference points on stratigraphic sections of rock which define the lower boundaries of stages on the geologic time scale. They are selected by the International Commission on Stratigraphy based on multiple factors, but their accessibility and the degree to which they are representative of the same boundary on sections worldwide are among the most important. Since GSSPs require well-preserved sections of rock without interruptions in sedimentation, and since most are defined by different stages of animal life, defining them becomes progressively more difficult as one goes further back in time. Organization of this list This list is divided first into the geologic eras of the Phanerozoic (the Cenozoic, the Mesozoic, and the Paleozoic) and then into the geologic periods of each era. Each period is marke ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Declinognathodus Donetzianus
''Declinognathodus'' is an extinct genus of platform conodonts. Use in stratigraphy The Bashkirian, the oldest age of the Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous), contains six biozones based on conodont index fossils, two of which are named after ''Declinognathodus'' species: * the zone of ''Declinognathodus marginodosus'', * the zone of ''Declinognathodus noduliferus''. The GSSP point is at Arrow Canyon, Nevada, USA, with the first appearance of ''Declinognathodus noduliferus sensu lato''. The base of the Moscovian, the second stage in the Pennsylvanian, is close to the first appearances of the conodonts ''Declinognathodus donetzianus Nemirovskaya, 1990'' and '' Diplognathodus ellesmerensis Bender, 1980''. The Moscovian can biostratigraphically be divided into five conodont biozones, one of which is named after a ''Declinognathodus'' species : the zone of ''Declinognathodus donetzianus''.

Pennsylvanian (geology)
The Pennsylvanian ( , also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, in the ICS geologic timescale, the younger of two subperiods (or upper of two subsystems) of the Carboniferous Period. It lasted from roughly . As with most other geochronologic units, the rock beds that define the Pennsylvanian are well identified, but the exact date of the start and end are uncertain by a few hundred thousand years. The Pennsylvanian is named after the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, where the coal-productive beds of this age are widespread. The division between Pennsylvanian and Mississippian comes from North American stratigraphy. In North America, where the early Carboniferous beds are primarily marine limestones, the Pennsylvanian was in the past treated as a full-fledged geologic period between the Mississippian and the Permian. In parts of Europe, the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian are one more-or-less continuous sequence of lowland continental deposits and are grouped ...
