Abstract
Volcanism was intense in western European basins during the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian transition, related to the late Variscan extension and associated magmatism. In the Autun Basin, explosive eruptions, expressed as highly weathered distal ashfall deposits (tonsteins), were preserved in lacustrine to swamp environments. The analysis of eleven tonsteins, confirmed as non-reworked volcanic horizons, indicates a highly explosive acidic...
