The Carboniferous-Permian terrestrial successions record a global climatic shift from icehouse to hothouse conditions. Our multidisciplinary study documents an aridification trend throughout the ~1000 m thick composite terrestrial succession of the western Catalan Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula), representing this time period. The detailed stratigraphic framework integrates sedimentology, paleopedology, biochronology (plant 2 fossils and tetrapod footprints) and geochronology (paleomagnetism). Additional absolute age correlation is also carried out. The new and reviewed data show that the late Carboniferous wet environments (with short drought periods) progressively changed to a strong seasonal semi-arid and arid climate (with short humid periods) through the early Permian. This paleoclimatic trend supports the previously suggested aridification of the Pangean pan-tropical belt, and supports the hypothesis of the influence of the recurrent climatic fluctuations in Central Pangea, being tentatively correlated to the Southern Gondwanan glaciation-deglaciation periods. Therefore, the Carboniferous-Permian terrestrial succession from the Catalan Pyrenees emerges as a continuous record that can help to constrain late Paleozoic paleoenvironmental events.

“…Material assignable to this ichnotaxon has been reported from late Early Permian or younger strata of Spain (Voigt and Haubold, 2015), Morocco (Voigt et al, 2010) and the USA (Gilmore, 1927;Haubold et al, 1995). The specimens described by Gand (1987) from France and Gand et al (1997) from Spain as Hyloidichnus major are very similar.…”

“…Radiometric ages obtained by U-Pb analyses of zircons from the underlying Vulcanite del Cabianca formation suggest a late Early to Middle Permian (Artinskian-Roadian) age: ca. 288-270 Ma (Cadel, 1986;Cadel et al, 1987;Philippe et al, 1987;Berra et al, 2014); while the tetrapod ichnoassociation of the Pizzo del Diavolo formation suggests a Kungurian age (Marchetti et al, 2013a;Marchetti, 2014;Voigt and Haubold, 2015).…”

“…Since an ichnospecific differentiation was never adequately proposed, we refer to the first named species, Dromopus lacertoides (Geinitz, 1861). It is widely distributed; the material classifiable as D. lacertoides comes from the Permian of Germany (Haubold, 1996;Voigt, 2005), Poland , France (Gand and Haubold, 1984;Gand, 1987), Spain (Voigt and Haubold, 2015), Morocco (Voigt et al, 2011a(Voigt et al, , 2011bHminna et al, 2012), the USA (Haubold et al, 1995;Lucas et al, 2011) andCanada (Van Allen et al, 2005). The trackmakers were probably araeoscelids (Haubold, 1971;Voigt, 2005).…”

Abstract:The late Cisuralian (Artinskian-Kungurian) is a key time interval for Permian tetrapod evolution. In all the main low-latitude Pangean sites, the fossil footprint record clearly shows a diversification and dispersal of non-synapsid amniote tracks compared to the early Cisuralian (AsselianSakmarian). However, data on latest Cisuralian (i.e. late Kungurian) sites are quite fragmentary. A new ichnotaxonomic study was carried out in the central part of the Orobic Basin, where the highly-fossiliferous Pizzo del Diavolo formation crops out and can potentially cover this gap in knowledge. The following tetrapod ichnogenera were identified: Amphisauropus, Batrachichnus, cf. Dimetropus, Dromopus, Erpetopus, Hyloidichnus, Limnopus, cf. Merifontichnus and Varanopus; they can be attributed to seymouriamorph and temnospondyl amphibians; pelycosaur synapsids; and diapsid, parareptile and captorhinid reptiles. Dimetropus and Merifontichnus are identified for the first time in the Permian of Italy. The ichnoassociation, in agreement with the radiometric dating of the underlying Cabianca formation, suggests a late Kungurian (latest Cisuralian) age for the Pizzo del Diavolo formation. It includes the youngest and most diverse non-synapsid amniote ichnofauna of the Cisuralian with five different ichnogenera and possibly six ichnospecies, and thus constitutes a key area for the study of eureptile and parareptile dispersal at low latitudes of Pangaea in the time span that immediately pre-dates the first therapsid synapsid radiation.
