- Dinantian
Carboniferous European subdivisions Dinantian is the name of a series stratigraphy series or Epoch reference date epoch from the Lower Carboniferous system stratigraphy system in Europe. It can stand for a series of rocks in Europe or the time span in which they were deposited. The Dinantian is equal to the lower part of the Mississippian series in the international geologic timescale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy ICS . It also correlation correlates with the Avonian , a name proposed by British geologist Arthur Vaughan 1905 p. 264 for certain deposits of the Lower Carboniferous system in the Avon Gorge at Bristol . The Dinantian is named for the Belgian city and province of Dinant where strata of this age occur. The name is still used among European geologists.

- Bernician Series
Orphan date February 2009 In geology , Bernician Series was a term proposed by Samuel Pickworth Woodward in 1856 Manual of Mollusca , p. 409 for the lower portion of the Carboniferous System, below the Gritstone Millstone Grit . The name was suggested by that of the ancient province of Bernicia on the Anglo Scottish borderland. It is practically equivalent to the Dinantian of Albert Auguste de Lapparent and Ernest Munier Chalmas 1893 . In 1875 G. Tate s Calcareous and Carbonaceous groups of the Carboniferous Limestone series of Northumberland were united by George Lebour into a single series, to which he applied the name Bernician but later he spoke of the whole of the Carboniferous rocks of Northumberland and its borders as of the Bernician type . Demetian was the corresponding designation proposed by Woodward for the Upper Carboniferous rocks. The sequence of rocks below the Bernician were referred to as the Tuedian . Because the terms Bernician and Tuedian were established for local purposes they are no longer used in modern stratigraphy. References 1911 Category Stratigraphy ... more details

It lived in the Carboniferous period of present day Europe. Although it emerged over 300 million years ago, Deltoptychius was similar in appearance to modern day chimaeras, possessing a long, whip like tail and large, wing like pectoral fin s that it probably used to glide through the water. Deltoptychius s large eyes allowed it to hunt in deep waters, crushing shellfish between solid tooth plates in its mouth. ref name EoDP cite book editor Palmer, D. year 1999 title The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals publisher Marshall Editions location London page 29 isbn 1 84028 152 9 ref References reflist Category Deltoptychiidae Category Carboniferous fish Category Prehistoric fish of Europe paleo fish stub portal Paleontology ... more details
