Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The Paleozoic Era (541 - 252 Ma) represents the timespan, when early marine communities produced first skeleton-bearing metazoans, when life invaded land and plants developed rooting systems that produced real soil. A short overview of Paleozoic paleogeography, paleoclimatic development and the evolution of life from Cambrian to Permian will be presented.

There existed several groups of deep-time index fossils for different marine and continental habitats. Among these, trilobites, graptolites, conodonts and radiolarians represent the most important groups. Core index fossils, their stratigraphic range and preferred habitat are introduced.

Highlighted are major Paleozoic global crisis and its effects on marine and terrestrial life and diversity. Trigger and cause of severe paleoenvironmental changes are explored based on marine geochemistry, sedimentological evidence and sea-surface-temperature estimates from conodont apatite and brachiopods across selected extinction events, e.g., the Hirnantian glaciation or the Middle Devonian greenhouse episodes.
