...Ian J. Glasspool; Robert A. Gastaldo Abstract Little evidence of macrofossil charcoal, a wildfire proxy, is recorded from upper Lower to lowermost Upper Devonian rocks. Coals of this age are few, and petrographic data indicate low volumes (<10% mineral-matter free) of charcoal. This paucity...

... of the Akli Formation were caused by 3–5°C warming and a 25–50% increase in rainfall during the hyperthermal events. Unusually high charcoal (~20%) fragments during the Palaeocene–Eocene transition also suggest warming and widespread biomass burning during the PETM in the lower latitudes. Associate Editor...

... documented as bearing charcoal, are used to evaluate the systematics, fuel load and burn temperatures of these earliest wildfires. We propose a diagrammatic reconstruction to explain the seeming disparity between the diminutive size of the embryophytic biota and the highest temperatures (>700°C) recorded...

... ~30% have been located. Until now there has been no way to distinguish them from “normal” terrestrial structures unless pieces of iron meteorites were found nearby. We show that the reflective properties of charcoal found in the proximal ejecta of small impact craters are distinct from those produced...

... be linked to the subsequent drop of the sea-level. Dinoflagellate cysts showed a higher accumulation at the base of the sediment core. The high accumulation of charcoal particles identified between approximately 3700 and 3000 cal years BP might indicate human activity related to the long-lasting bonfires...

... valid pre- and post-EPE baselines. Here, we assess the changes in wildfire activity in the high-latitude lowlands of eastern Gondwana by presenting new long-term, quantitative late Permian (Lopingian) to Early Triassic records of dispersed fossil charcoal and inertinite from sediments of the Sydney...

...Ian J. Glasspool; Robert A. Gastaldo Abstract The earliest evidence of wildfire is documented from two localities: the early mid-Silurian Pen-y-lan Mudstone, Rumney, Wales (UK), and the late Silurian Winnica Formation, Winnica, Poland. Nematophytes dominate both charcoal assemblages. Reflectance...

...H. El Atfy; M. Kora; R. Spiekermann; A. Jasper; D. Uhl Abstract Fossil evidence for wildfires, in form of fossil charcoal, is known from a large number of Cretaceous localities worldwide and it has repeatedly been argued that wildfires were connected to the evolution and radiation of angiosperms...

Radiocarbon ages derived from burn horizons (laterally continuous concentrations of charcoal) within basal colluvial wedge sediments at both sites yield minimum age constraints on prehistoric rupture of the Warm Springs section of 5.7 ± 0.2 ka (Rattlesnake Canyon) and 6.1 ± 0.3 ka (25 km trench...
