Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments is a peer-reviewed international journal for the publication of high-quality multidisciplinary studies in the fields of palaeobiodiversity,...
Mongolia belongs to the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and is subdivided in a large number of terranes. The stratigraphy and lithology of each terrane was summarised briefly in a number of papers but many uncertainties in the general framework, particularly in respect to stratigraphy and depositional facies in some terrains remain. A more detailed biostratigraphic, sedimentological and geochemical record is of great significance to our understanding of faunal- and climate change of Late Palaeozoic extinction events and tectonics of the CAOB. Thus we have published and looking forward to publish more data on sedimentological/facies, biostratigraphical as well as geochemical analysis of sedimentary and magmatic rocks from different areas south of the Main Mongolian Lineament. Results will also provide new information on the plate tectonic reconstruction of the CAOB and we invite also other colleagues to submit manuscripts in the frame of that project.

Dr. Peter Königshof
Dr. Peter Königshof is a geologist and has his focus on sedimentology/facies and stratigraphy. His current research is on Late Palaeozoic mass extinctions with a special focus on Late Devonian events in more shallow-water facies setting. Research areas are sections in Asia, such as Mongolia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Iran. He is head of the section Historical Geology and Facies at Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum, Frankfurt, Germany. Photo: Sersmaa Gonchigdorj -
Dr. Sarah Carmichael
Dr. Sarah Carmichael is a geochemist who specialises in fluid-rock reactions in both ancient and modern environments. Her current research explores the paleogeographic controls on Late Devonian mass extinctions, fluid-rock reactions in carbonates, the geomicrobiology of cave mineral deposits and acid mine drainage sites, and the role of microbes in manganese ore formation. She is a Professor of Geology at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. -

Dr. Johnny A. Waters is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Appalachian State University. His research interests center around Paleozoic echinoderms and the rebound of marine ecosystems from mass extinction events. He has conducted fieldwork in western China since 1987 and in Mongolia since 2012. Photo: Felix Kunze
