 Coleoptera : History
The most ancient discoveries of beetles are indicated for the deposits of the Asselian layer of Niedermoschel locality in the vicinity of Mainz, Germany (Addresses of localities are given in the list of localities of fossil beetles), of the most ancient layer of the Permian, in Germany (Huerschemeyer, 1999).
Older beetle fossils have been found in the deposits of the Asselian (291.5 - 288.5 million years ago) layer of Niedermoschel near Mainz, Germany.
Apart from that the study of early stages of the evolution of beetles is hampered because of the two groups that are not related but are very similar to beetles in the structure of elytra of insects - Protelytroptera and some cockroaches.

Fragmented and abraded fusuline debris from the limestone are preliminarily assessed an upper Asselian age.
Fragmented and abraded fusuline debris of the upper Asselian were identified from the upper part of the clastic limestone succession.
According to these authors, the limestone is considered to be mostly referable to as Bashkirian to Moscovian and much less commonly the Gzhelian to Asselian.

 Journal of Paleontology: Biostratigraphy and evolution of Late Carboniferous and Early Permian smaller foraminifers from the Barents Sea (offshore Arctic Norway)
The palaeotextulariid Cribrogenerina gigas occurs in the Canadian Arctic in Asselian and Sakmarian strata (Pinard, 1989) and previously was considered a strictly Permian form (Loeblich and Tappan, 1988).
We are unable at this time to suggest potentially useful taxa for internal subdivisions within the Asselian Stage, or for identifying Asselian-Sakmarian and Sakmarian-Artinskian stadial boundaries.
These considerations notwithstanding, it is possible to devise a working biostratigraphic model for at least the Kasimovian through Asselian part of the studied interval (Figure 4).

 IngentaConnect Early Permian (Asselian) brachiopods from Karakorum (Pakistan) an...
The results suggest the occurrence of a single biotic province during the Asselian, the Indoralian Province, embracing all the faunal stations examined, as a consequence of the global cold phase related to the last pulse of the Gondwanan glaciation.
The faunal succession of Karakorum records a significant biotic change from the Asselian to the Sakmarian, a shift in diversity and composition that is also recorded along most of the Gondwanan margin and Peri-Gondwanan regions and that should be related to a major climatic change: the end of the Gondwanan glaciation.

 EVIDENCE FOR A ROBUST CO2- CLIMATE LINK DURING THE LATE PALEOZOIC GONDWANAN ICE AGE
Moderate latest Carboniferous CO levels were coincident with elevated mean annual surface temperatures and intensified precipitation during the latest Carboniferous to earliest Permian (Asselian).
estimates suggest that minimum values similar to present-day CO levels were reached during the latest Asselian and earliest Sakmarian after dropping from moderate levels (>500 to 1200 ppmv) in the latest Carboniferous.

Lower one with possible thickness around 300-400 m is constituted by limestones, dolomites and gypsums of the Upper Carboniferous and Asselian stage of the Lower Permian.
Middle division is formed by strata of alternating dolomites, gypsums and other varieties of Sakmarian stage with thickness about 150 m.

 Schultze, H.P. and R.R. West. 1996. An Eugeneodontid elasmobranch from the Late Paleozoic of Kansas
Depending on the placement of the Pennsylvanian-Permian boundary, this specimen extends the upper limit of the species from the Virgilian (Gzelian) into the Gearyan (Asselian).
A tooth battery, palatoquadrate, and a gill arch element of Bobbodus schaefferi were collected from Late Pennsylvanian/Early Permian (Asselian) rocks near Manhattan, Kansas.
The new range thus is Kasimovian to Asselian, a 15 my interval.

This fauna is important because it adds some new data to a poorly known Late Carboniferous-Early Pemlian non-ammonoid cephalopod fauna.

 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências - The Botrychiopsis genus and its biostratigraphic implications in Southern Paraná Basin
In the Southern Paraná Basin, Botrychiopsis plantiana is restricted to Asselian/ Artinskian and Botrychiopsis valida to Kungurian.
(1979), this interval is equivalent to either the Stephanian C - Sakmarian boundary or, according to Faddeieva (1976), to the base of the Asselian in Russia.
The Faxinal microflora associated with the Botrychiopsis plantiana Subzone suggests a Stephanian C/Sakmarian or lower Asselian age.

A major unconformity separates the pre-Permian section from the overlying ?Unayzah Formation, where the palynofloral recovery suggests that the equivalence of the ‘upper unit’ is of Late - Early Permian, Ufimian - Artinskian age whilst the ‘lower unit’ is of Early Permian, Sakmarian - Asselian age.
The oldest strata encountered are low-grade metamorphic sediments inferred to be of questionable Pre-Cambrian age and correlative with the Slate-Greywacke Series as seen at outcrop in Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Khuff Formation rests with a significant facies change upon the underlying Unayzah Formation which almost certainly reflects a major intra-Late Permian, Tatarian sequence boundary.

The presence of this bed confirmed that, similar biota to western Australia lived at the time of Early Asselian in the Shotori Range close to CPB.
Interesting point that I should mention about CPB in eastern part of Iran (Shotori Range) is: a bed (20 Cm thick) with all reworked and redeposits Early Permian fauna.

 Upper Palaeozoic Fossils from Clastic Sedimentary Rocks in the Gorski Kotar Region, Geologia Croatica, 50/2, 187-199, Zagreb, 1997
The determined taxa range from the Lower Carboniferous (Viséan), through the Upper Carboniferous (Moscovian, Kasimovian, Gzhelian), up to the Lower Permian (Asselian) in age.
Calcisponges, echinoderms and bryozoans occur frequently, while remnants of molluscs, brachiopods and ostracods are scarce.
Some of the clastic sediments show traces of the multiple redeposition.

 Argonne report
In suport of the above project (a CRADA between Argonne, Texaco, and Gas Research Institute), we are running the CCM3 global climate model (GCM) on the QUAD system for three geologic time intervals: the Quaternary (Pleistocene-Holocene), the mid-Cretaceous (Cenomanian), and the Early Permian (Asselian).
GCM runs for the near geologic past are important as they would provide a measure of "natural" climatic variation for the present-day world, as well as good calibration of the model to abundant and temporally constrained geologic data.
These simulations, along with the sediment yield/climate calibrations, will be used as input data for stratigraphic modeling.

 Journal of the Geological Society: Earth geography from 400 to 250 Ma: a palaeomagnetic, faunal and facies review
Some workers place the Artinskian and Kungurian into the Early, rather than the Mid-, Permian, but that would make the subdivision of the Permian very unequal in time: the Asselian and Sakmarian total 21 Ma, and from the Artinkian to the top of the Permian is 18-21 Ma.
We show the outcrop areas of the widespread volcanic outpourings of the Siberian Traps in Figure 11 and also the very substantial Emeishan Traps of South China, both of which occurred at the same time at about 251 Ma, a date that may eventually prove to be better for the Permo-Triassic boundary than 248 Ma.

Age determination by comparison of the miospore assemblage to the west european miospore zonation indicates an age coresponding to Gzelian — Asselian, which is approximately 17 m.y.
The composition of the miospore assemblage indicates affinity to the nothern sub tropical and arid Tianural floral province by similarity to other miospore assemblages in nothern Canada, the Urals and China.

Wall rocks to the south of the batholith are sedimentary rocks of Upper Carboniferous (Asselian) age, folded and thrusted during the San Rafael phase.
To the north of the batholith, where the Carboniferous Tabaquito Granodiorite crops out, the wall rocks consist of severely folded sandstones and shales of probably Lower Carboniferous age.
