The 1st Gondwana Devonian Symposium intends to bring to the participants lectures about the different points of the Devonian of the southern hemisphere. Thus, in addition to the South American Devonian, the South African and Australian Devonian will also be addressed in special lectures.

The main problem with the southern hemisphere Devonian is the absence of good stratigraphic markers, such as the northern hemisphere conodonts. The idea is to bring solutions to this with the description of palynological, taphonomic markers or even evolutionary patterns with a broader record that can aid on “Calibrating the Devonian in South America”.

In the framework of the 27th Brazilian Congress of Paleontology, the 1st Gondwana Devonian Symposium will take place on May 5, 2022 in the city of Cuiabá, Brazil. The symposium will focus on “Calibrating the Devonian in South America” and will include lectures about Devonian of Gondwana. We invite all researchers interested to participate to send contributions in order to increase the knowledge about the Devonian of the Southern Hemisphere.

The official languages of the symposium are going to be Portuguese, Spanish and English. The official website of the event will provide more information about subscription and deadlines for submissions of abstracts. A possible special volume in Journal of South American Earth Sciences will be announced soon.
