Content:
The highly interesting Late Carboniferous-Early Permian paleo-ecosystem from Niederhausen (Saar-Nahe area, Rheinland-Pfalz, SW-Germany) will be described and shown. However, on the Kasimovian/Gzhelian boundary (303.7 my years ± 1 my), in Europe, we have just a flourishing and all dominating conifer assemblage and also other plant-families like ferns (Todites and Scolecopteris), seed ferns (Peltaspermum), and Cycadophyta can be regarded as typical Permian and not Carboniferous. This strange plant association suggests that, apart from the dominating Carboniferous species, giant lycophyta and sphenopyhta jungles coevally in the hinterland existed long before a much more aridity-adapted vegetation, which became dominant in the following million years and until the present day.
