Furthermore, many Upper Viséan taxa in Europe have been recognized in Vietnam and Thailand (Fontaine 1961;Fontaine et al 1991), and South China (Fedorowski 1981;Wang et al 2006), thus establishing the western and eastern Palaeotethyan marine connections. This Palaeotethyan seaway has also been recognized earlier, in the late Tournaisian (Ivorian), with the widespread development of the Uralinia-Keyserlingophyllum-Bifossularia-Cyathoclisia fauna in Belgium, South China (RC3 and RC4a Coral Zones of Poty (1985); Poty and Xu (1996); Xu and Poty (1997) Figure 1); the Urals (Hecker 2001) and the Omolon region of Siberia (Poty and Onoprienko 1984).…”

In the Mississippian in Western Europe, biostratigraphic zonation and correlation of sequences has been refined using a combination of faunal and floral groups. In deep-water basins and on shelves advances have been made in recognizing evolutionary lineages of conodonts, particularly in the early Viséan to Serpukhovian, for example the Gnathodus praebilineatus -G. bilineatus bilineatus -G. bilineatus bollandensis lineage, which is closely tied to ammonoid zones in the Culm facies of Western and Central Europe, and the Lochriea saharae -L. commutata -L. nodosa -L. ziegleri lineage. Moreover, progress has been made in recognizing the Upper Viséan/Serpukhovian boundary, based on the first appearance datum (FAD) of Lochriea ziegleri.Greater precision in the dating and correlation of shallow-water platform facies has been achieved using foraminiferans. Although evolutionary developments in the Archaediscidae are still of major importance in terms of biostratigraphic dating, alternative lineages have been proposed recently for the late Asbian/Brigantian (late Viséan) interval, involving the CribrospiraBradyina -Parajanischewskina -Janischewskina lineage. These large cribrate complexed-walled forms are widely recognized throughout Western Europe. The base of the Viséan has recently been defined in South China using foraminiferans with the FAD of Eoparastaffella simplex in the lineage Eoparastaffella ovalis -E. simplex. The same criterion has been used to define the base of the Viséan (base of emended Moliniacian) in Belgium.Recent studies in Britain, Ireland, France, Spain and Poland have demonstrated that in the Upper Viséan many calcareous algal taxa and problematica are widespread in their distribution throughout the western Palaeotethys Realm. Moreover, five algal assemblages can be distinguished, based either on the first appearance of certain taxa or their acme developments, such as Falsocalcifolium punctatum and Calcifolium okense. In addition, there have been new discoveries in the Brigantian and Serpukhovian of algal taxa and problematica such as Archaeolithophyllum, Paraepimastopora and Claracrusta that were regarded previously as being restricted to the Pennsylvanian-Permian interval.Advances in rugose coral biostratigraphy have also been made in the upper Tournaisian and Upper Viséan, particularly using dissepimented taxa which occur in shallow-water platforms. The presence of uraliniids and Keyserlingophyllum in the upper Tournaisian of Western Europe (Belgium) are also recognized in South China and Siberia. In the Upper Viséan, refinements in zonation have been made using well-defined colonial and solitary species and species groups belonging to the families Lithostrotionidae and Axophyllidae and solitary taxa of the families Aulophyllidae and Cyathopsidae which are recognized throughout the western Palaeotethys.

“…Like the Changning-Menglian Suture Zone, the Inthanon Suture Zone also contains pure carbonate successions spanning from Early Carboniferous through to Late Permian, which yield abundant micro-fossils of warm-water Tethyan type [32,73,76]. These limestones are regarded as seamount caps originally formed within the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean [52].…”

Two contrasting parallel tectonic sutures can be recognised through the Yunnan-Thailand region of mainland Southeast Asia; they are sutures of the Devonian-Triassic Palaeo-Tethys Ocean and a Permian back-arc basin. The Changning-Menglian and Inthanon suture zones are regarded as the Palaeo-Tethys Suture Zone. The Jinghong-Nan-Sra Kaeo suture is regarded as a closed back-arc basin. The Sukhothai Zone is no longer treated as a part of the Sibumasu Terrane, but is defined as the core part of the Permian island-arc system developed on the western margin of the Indochina Terrane. Two tectonic events are interpreted from the parallel sutures; a Late Permian collapse of the back-arc basin and a mid-Triassic collision of Sibumasu to the Sukhothai Arc of Indochina (= closure of the Palaeo-Tethys). The Early-early Middle Triassic thermotectonism of Vietnam as linked to the Indosinian orogeny by some authors is incompatible with the suggested timing of Sibumasu collision, but instead it is temporally closer to the back-arc compression of western Indochina.
