Montceau-les-Mines Lagerstätte
The Montceau-les-Mines lagerstätte is a Carboniferous lagerstätte named after and located within the town of Montceau-les-Mines. It preserves numerous flora and fauna similar to those of the Mazon Creek fossil beds in the US, such as temnospondyls, velvet worms, arachnids and more.

Stephanian (stage)
The Stephanian is a Stage (stratigraphy), stage in the regional stratigraphy of northwest Europe with an age between roughly 307.5 and 299 Megaannum, Ma (million years ago). It is a subdivision of the Carboniferous system (stratigraphy), system or period (geology), period and the regional Silesian (series), Silesian series (stratigraphy), series. The uppermost units of the Coal Measures of England and Wales are probably of Stephanian age, though the larger part of this formation is referred to the earlier Westphalian (stage), Westphalian. The stage derives its name from the city of Saint-Étienne for its Loire coal mining basin, coal mining basin in eastern central France (which itself derives from associations with Saint Stephen) where strata of this age occur. In the official geologic timescale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy, ICS, the Stephanian is placed within the Pennsylvanian (geology), Pennsylvanian epoch (323-299 Ma). The (regionally defined) Stephanian sta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
