Abstract:
The Devonian Reef complexes of the Canning Basin record a change in vertebrate diversity and evolution from the Late Devonian to the Early Carboniferous and encompass two significant faunal overturns. The first being the Frasnian/Famennian mass extinction event that is estimated to have resulted in the loss of 60% of all taxa, and the second being the end Famennian event (McGhee 1982).
