Conodont biofacies and watermass structure of the Middle Pennsylvanian North American Midcontinent Sea

Climatic and glacio-eustatic information for the Late Paleozoic Ice Age is often extracted from cyclothems of the Midcontinent of North America. Although it is recognized that these important archives of global climate and environmental change are the result of waxing and waning of Gondwanan glaciers that produced widespread transgressive-regressive events, the relationships of conodont biofacies to changes in water depth, water chemistry, and...
