In the Mississippian in Western Europe, biostratigraphic zonation and correlation of sequences has been refined using a combination of faunal and floral groups. In deep‐water basins and on shelves advances have been made in recognizing evolutionary lineages of conodonts, particularly in the early Viséan to Serpukhovian, for example the Gnathodus praebilineatus ‐ G. bilineatus bilineatus ‐ G. bilineatus bollandensis lineage, which is closely tied to ammonoid zones in the Culm facies of Western and Central Europe, and the Lochriea saharae ‐ L. commutata ‐ L. nodosa ‐ L. ziegleri lineage. Moreover, progress has been made in recognizing the Upper Viséan/Serpukhovian boundary, based on the first appearance datum (FAD) of Lochriea ziegleri.
