	RIGZONE - Saga Completes Well 102 on East Shaltinsky Field
		The new coring of the Tournaisian has given a more accurate redefinition of the level for water-oil contact from 1247.5 meters down to 1253 meters depth which increases the acreage of oil saturated pay zone from 24 km2 to approximately 54 km2.
		The Tournaisian oil saturated pay zone is thereby extended and reaches into Saga's second oil field, the Petrovsky oil field on the south end of the licensed area.
		Reserves of the Tournaisian pay zone are expected to increase accordingly with a minimum of 20%, the more exact increase of the resources will be determined after the interpretation of the 3D seismic.

		Tournaisian time) are represented by a large number of detached seeds or cupulate structures and by more than 40 taxa corresponding to different types of anatomically preserved stems.
		However emphasis is placed on the reinvestigation of Aporoxylon from Germany and on the description of new taxa from the Tournaisian of France and Algeria which all exhibit broad circular parenchymatous pith with over 40 sympodial xylem strands and dense secondary xylem but differing in leaf trace features.
		Of particular interest, one new plant from France shows leaf traces, double in origin, and a petiole base of the Kalymma-type, therefore showing characteristics of calamopityalean seed ferns but being quite distinct in features of the stele, secondary xylem and phloem.

		During the Tournaisian, the Williston Basin constituted part of an extensive embayment that was connected to the Prophet Trough and the Antler Foreland Basin by a broad seaway, extending from southeastern Alberta into Wyoming.
		The early Tournaisian transgression was followed by regional shallowing and basinward progradation of slope and distal ramp to supratidal carbonates and siliciclastics of the Lodgepole, Banff, and Yohin formations.
		The Rundle assemblage was deposited from the late early Tournaisian to the late Viséan and comprises carbonate-platform lithofacies with subordinate carbonate-ramp lithofacies and basinal to supratidal siliciclastics (Figs.

	Taxonomy and Palaeogeography of Early Carboniferous Ammonoids from northern Africa
		The first Middle Tournaisian ammonoid fauna from Africa, consisting of the genera Protocanites and Goniocyclus with three new species is described from the Tafilalt of south-eastern Morocco.
		The composition of the fauna is an indication for a cosmopolitan distribution of Tournaisian ammonoids.
		Additionally, the well preserved material of the Tournaisian ammonoid Becanites from Morooco allowed a review of the gener-ally accepted theory of a U-mode sutural ontogeny of prolecanitid ammonoids and their descendants which is now falsified.

		Formations of Tournaisian stage and Lower Visean substage are established only in the graben limits, and younger deposits of the sedimentary cover are distributed in the DDD edges also.
		The deposits of this age are present in the depression in Tournaisian, Visean and Serpukhovian stages.
		It was the most active tectonic stage, which was reflected in mosaic character of the thicknesses change of the separate sections, their lithofacies, in variability of the rocks material composition and violent volcanic activity at the territory of the whole depression.

		From both a historiographical and archival point of view, it aims to reassess the concept of the "Tournai school of illumination", which emerged in the 19th century and annexed such prestigious names as Simon Marmion, Jean Tavernier or Roger Van der Weyden.
		Comparing the Tournaisian records with those of neigbouring cities, the author situates the importance of the city as book market within the network of South Netherlandish production centres.
		The study includes in appendix the complete body of Tournaisian documents mentioning manuscripts, as well as an extensive biographical list of book makers, from the 13th to the 16th century.

	Early carboniferous athyridid brachiopods from the Qaidam Basin, Northwest China Journal of Paleontology - Find Articles
		Both Bruntonathyris and Lochengia are restrictedly Tournaisian to Visean in age, and probably originated in the Qaidam Basin.
		Later, Bruntonathyris migrated easterly to South China and Japan, and westerly to Urals, Moscow Basin, Donetsk Basin and Britain; Lochengia migrated easterly to South China and westerly to the Urals seaway and the adjoined Russian Platform (i.e., both the Moscow and Donetsk Basins).
		Syringothyris halli is characteristic of the Kinderhookian in Mississippi Valley (Weller, 1914), later was found in the Tournaisian in the Kutznesk Basin (Sarycheva et al., 1963), northwest China (Jin et al., 1979; Zhang et al., 1983) and western Yunnan (Jin and Fang, 1983).

	Lower carboniferous brachiopods from Sierra de Almeida, northern Chile Journal of Paleontology - Find Articles
		ABSTRAcT-A low-diversity brachiopod assemblage from the upper member of the Zorritas Formation in the Sierra de Almeida, northern Chile, further confirms the presence of Lower Carboniferous (Tournaisian) strata in that region.
		The closest correlation elsewhere is with the Tournaisian faunas of southeastern Australia, although analogous big-shell assemblages are found in lower Mississippian elastic strata of the central Appalachians, Ohio, and Indiana.
		We first became interested in the Lower Carboniferous marine fossils of the Gondwana region when one of us (Isaacson) worked with Chilean colleagues in the Atacama Desert area during the summers of 1985 and 1986 and reported on the Devonian-Carboniferous stratigraphy of the Sierra de Almeida (Isaacson et al., 1985).

		The Tournaisian tetrapod Pederpes finneyae is described in detail, from the holotype and only specimen.
		The specimen derives from the Ballagan Formation, Tournaisian CM palynozone and is the earliest post-Devonian tetrapod known from articulated remains.
		Possible whatcheeriids also occur in the Viséan of Australia and the Tournaisian of Ireland and less certainly elsewhere, making the whatcheeriids a long-lasting clade, widely distributed in time and space.

		The assemblage indicates a Middle Tournaisian age for the lower unit.
		The foraminifer assemblage of this unit is similar to that of the lower unit; however, in addition, the occurrence of Septabrunsiina krainica, Earlandia vulgaris and Eotuberitina reitligerae suggests an Upper Tournaisian age for the middle unit.
		Consequently, the Mobarak Formation ranges in age from Middle Tournaisian to Early Visean.

		Together with the sea-level variations (third-order sequences), local controls influenced the nature of the sedimentary deposits, so the lithostratigraphic successions in each sedimentation area are distinctive.
		The depositional set ting was that of a carbonate platform which evolved from a ramp in the early Tournaisian to a rimmed shelf during the early Viséan and then to a regionally extensive shelf during the middle and late Viséan.
		Before the Livian, open marine facies were developed to the south, but from the Livian onwards open marine facies were restricted to the north while evaporites developed in the south.

	Devonian Times - New Directions
		Perhaps the greatest of these is the "Tournaisian Gap" or "Romer's Gap", a 20 million year gap between the latest Devonian tetrapods and a very diverse assortment of primitively aquatic, secondarily aquatic and terrestrial tetrapods from the Middle and Upper Viséan (Lower Carboniferous).
		Although not quite as large as the "Tournaisian Gap", the span between the late Givetian (late Middle Devonian) to early Frasnian (early Late Devonian) and the Famennian is of particular interest because it’s the interval during which most authorities believe tetrapods differentiated from the lobe-fins.

	Domanikites - Bituminous Sedimentary Rocks
		Examples of domanikites are the bituminous shales of the Bazhenov Formation of West Siberia and the clayey-siliceous limestones and dolomites of the Upper Devonian and Tournaisian of the eastern part of the Russian platform.
		The former are productive in Salym and other fields of West Siberia; however, the latter have not yielded significant pools as yet, although strong flows of oil have been recovered in many wells.
		Subsequently in Late Devonian and Tournaisian time the dimensions of individual basins were gradually reduced to the relatively narrow troughs of the Kama-Kinel system.

	EARLY TOURNAISIAN MUD MOUNDS FROM MISSOURI--PRECURSORS OF LATE TOURNAISIAN WAULSORTIAN REEFS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Earliest Mississippian (Tournaisian, Tn1) mud mounds in the Compton Limestone of southwestern Missouri represent the oldest Carboniferous buildups known in North America.
		Small mounds, rarely exceeding 25m in width and 4m in height, appear to represent the earliest organic buildups to follow the Frasnian-Famennian collapse of reefs.
		The lower diversity of the early Tournaisian buildups is interpreted as representing a lag period following the collapse of reef communities during the Late Devonian.
