The geomagnetic polarity pattern for the Carboniferous is incompletely known, but with the best resolved parts in the Serpukhovian and Bashkirian. Hence, data from both igneous and sedimentary units are also used in an additional polarity bias evaluation. In the Tournaisian to mid Visean interval polarity is mainly derived from palaeopole-type palaeomagnetic studies, allowing identification of polarity bias chrons. Seven polarity bias chrons exist in the Mississippian (MI1nB to MI4nB) with an additional 33 conventional magnetochrons and submagnetochrons (MI4r to MI9r). The Moscovian and Gzhelian polarity is best resolved in magnetostratigraphic studies from the Donets Basin and the southern Urals. Dispute about the reliability of these data is ill-founded, since an assessment of supporting data from palaeopole-type studies suggests that these datasets currently provide the best magnetic polarity data through the Pennsylvanian. Polarity bias assessment indicates a normal polarity bias zone in the Kasimovian. In the Pennsylvanian there are 27 conventional magnetochrons and submagnetochrons (PE1n to CI1r) and one normal polarity bias chron (PE8nB). The Kiaman Superchron begins in the mid Bashkirian, with clear data indicating brief normal polarity submagnetochrons within the Superchron. The magnetochron timescale is calibrated using 31 U-Pb zircon dates and a quantitative Bayesian-based age-scaling procedure.

“…Facies and differentiation in basins and ranges suggest a starved basin adjacent to the Variscan hinterland (Wendt & Aigner, ) and situated in a low to middle latitude in the westernmost part of the Palaeo‐Tethys Ocean. The area occupied by this facies is large, in comparison with small swells capped by cephalopod limestone and associated to drowned reefs and embryonic tectonic structures of the Variscan deformation in the Rhenish Kulm Basin (“Erdbach‐type” limestone after Herbig, ).…”

Discovery of aMississippian–earlyBashkirian carbonate platform coeval with condensed cephalopod limestone sedimentation inNW Spain

A new Mississippian to early Bashkirian shallow‐water carbonate platform, the Valdediezma Limestone, is identified in the central–eastern part of the Picos de Europa tectonic unit of the Cantabrian Mountains. The oldest beds (probably late Tournaisian or early Viséan) are faulted above middle Cambrian rocks. Biostratigraphy based on conodont and foraminiferal faunas allows to differentiate the Viséan–early Bashkirian Valdediezma Limestone from younger Bashkirian and Moscovian shallow‐water platforms previously described in the same area (Valdeteja and Picos de Europa formations). The Valdediezma Limestone recorded the rapid growth of a carbonate platform contemporaneous to the extended sedimentation of the Mississippian condensed, cephalopod‐bearing, nodular carbonates of the Alba Formation in the adjacent deep‐water basin. The growth of the platform continued during the late Serpukhovian and early Bashkirian, when deep‐water carbonates of the Barcaliente Formation were deposited in a geographically restricted foreland basin, and siliciclastic deposits filled the foredeep in the south‐western margin of the Cantabrian Mountains. A sedimentary hiatus from the early Bashkirian to the late Moscovian occurs above the Valdediezma Limestone. The exhumed and eroded platform was buried by late Moscovian to Kasimovian strata when the Variscan deformation affected the Picos de Europa unit. The Valdediezma Limestone was deposited on an isolated platform that rarely is preserved in South Europe, where contemporary shallow‐water carbonates were eroded and reworked into the synorogenic siliciclastic deposits of flysch‐type facies.
