  Discussion and Correlation (former Soviet Union): FUSULINID SUCCESSION FROM THE MIDDLE-UPPER CARBONIFEROUS BOUNDARY ...
This assemblage corresponds to the Krevyakinian Horizon of the Lower Kasimovian in the Moscow Basin.
This assemblage is correlative with the Khamovnichenian Horizon (Middle Kasimovian) in the Moscow Basin.
Traditionally the Moscovian/Kasimovian boundary is correlative with the Desmoinesian/Missourian boundary, with Missourian being the approximate equivalent of the Kasimovian (

 Geological Society - News - The naming of (Carboniferous) parts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The best level for the base of the Kasimovian Stage (and the Upper Pennsylvanian Series) with respect to the Desmoinesian-Missourian regional stage boundary in the USA has not yet been selected.
The SCCS also voted to standardize the scale of all regional units termed stages at rough equivalency with the global stages now recognized in the Carboniferous (which are similar in scale to those in the adjacent Devonian and Permian Systems).
Dashed lines separating the Moscovian and Kasimovian Stages (and Middle and Upper Pennsylvanian Series) reflect the range of uncertainty of the level at which the event defining that boundary will be chosen (see Villa and Task Group, 2004).

 Vol.107 N.1
A detailed fusulinid biostratigraphic zonation of the Kasimovian and lowermost Gzhelian in southwestern Darvaz is proposed.
Based on the investigation of five stratigraphic sections, five local fusulinid zones were established.
Eighty-seven species and subspecies, which belong to 18 genera and 7 families of fusulinids, were identified in the Kasimovian and lowermost Gzhelian of Darvaz.

From 150- 250 m thick, these Artinskian carbonates and evaporites are widespread, stable shelf deposits (McCann and Dallmann, 1996).
This is more recently known as the Wordiekammen Formation and consists of 200-250 m of platform carbonates of Kasimovian to Sakmarian age.
A lack of thickness or facies changes across the Billefjorden fault zone in this unit suggests movement was over by then.

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

 FAMENNIAN RUGOSE CORALS LIVE IT UP: INCREASED LONGEVITY OF RUGOSE CORALS FOLLOWING THE END-FRASNIAN EXTINCTION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Other cohorts with low survivorship (i.e., high rate of extinction) include the Kasimovian and Wordian.
The Kasimovian cohort experiences the highest extinction of the Carboniferous, following a previously recognized small-magnitude North American extinction event at the Moscovian/Kasimovian boundary.
However, taxa originating in stages following the Kasimovian or the Wordian do not seem to show increased longevities as shown by the Famennian taxa.

 UC Davis Geology: GSA Meeting Abstracts
Ice build-up coincident with a progressive increase in rainfall ultimately led to perhumid climates under which Ultisols, Spodosols, and domed peat deposits (coal) formed during fourth-order low stands in the Bashkirian.
Subsequent ice melting culminated in the Kasimovian when calcic Vertisols once again developed during fourth-order low stands and dry subhumid climates.
Ice build-up during the Gzhelian led to sea-level fall and the development of fourth-order humid-climate paleosols.

They were initiated during the Serpukhovian Age as a response to lowering sea levels having exposed large areas of continental shelf.
They expanded dramatically during the late Bashkirian Age, but then contracted by over one-half during the Kasimovian Age.
The estimated loss of carbon sink probably resulted in an annual increase in atmospheric CO of about 2-5 ppm, and coincided with clear evidence of global warming in both the northern and southern high latitudes.
