“…But up to now, the position of the DCB is not located precisely in the Gudman Formation. By default, it is located below the base of the first reefal unit, which plays an important role for the understanding of the recovery phase after the Hangenberg extinction (Denayer and Webb 2017;Webb 1998;Webb 2005).…”

This article compiles data on the Devonian-Carboniferous Boundary successions from countries and regions, which have not been dealt with separately in this special issue. Data derive from different palaeocontinents on a large palaeoclimatic gradient from the southern high latitudes of western Gondwana through the palaeotropics into the temperate/boreal northern latitudes of Siberia. The quality of the data is variable, but often surprisingly good, although major uncertainties can persist and traditional positions of the boundary do not withhold modern stratigraphic results and concepts. Not all these regions have been on the forefront of the DCB discussions in recent years, but they provide invaluable insights into the regional and global dimensions of uppermost Devonian and lowermost Carboniferous changes in the biosphere and geosphere. Almost globally documented are faunal turnovers and collapse of ecosystems in the Hangenberg extinctions. Those allow the placement of the DCB even if index fossils are absent or scarce. However, it also shows the regional differences, which advocate for a holistic approach to the boundary by ensuring global correlation without relying on the conceptual dominance a single taxon, which might be less powerful outside its usual facies.

“…Denayer and Webb (2017) describe earliest Mississippian rugose corals from Australia and compare them with occurrences in other regions. At the global scale, the earliest Tournaisian rugose coral genera share several characters of post-disaster taxa, whereas the Australian genera are not post-disaster taxa but represent final branches of lineages that already evolved during the Late Devonian.…”

The Devonian–Carboniferous boundary beds in the Berchogur (Birshogyr) sections in the Mugodzhary (Mugalzhary) Mountains in western Kazakhstan, known to contain various fossil groups, including ammonoids, conodonts, foraminifers, corals, crinoids, and trilobites, are re-examined. The siliciclastic-carbonate succession of the Zhangana Formation reveals the presence of several ammonoid, conodont, and foraminiferal zones. The succession contains the Acutimitoceras ammonoid Genozone, equivalent to the level of the Stockum ammonoid fauna of Germany, with the conodont Siphonodella sulcata appearing within the Genozone. The same beds show mass occurrences of the foraminifer Tournayellina pseudobeata. The study of the Berchogur sections began in the 1980s; these sections are among very few successions globally with ammonoids of the Acutimitoceras Genozone in association with conodonts and foraminifers. At that time, several outcrops in a small area in the upper reaches of Burtybai (Zhangansai) Creek and two boreholes drilled near the sections were studied, and new taxa of ammonoids, foraminifers, ostracods, conodonts, algae, and spores were described. New excavations in 2018–2020, in conjunction with a search for a new definition of the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary, provided abundant new information on these taxa, on the lithology, and on crinoids, trilobites, and corals. The exact position of marker fossils and lithological changes are documented in several sections along Burtybai Creek allowing an amended correlation with sections of the D–C boundary beds in Western Europe.
