Romer's gap: Geography, Gap fauna & Mechanism behind the gap

Romer's gap is an apparent gap in the Paleozoic tetrapod fossil record noted in the studies of paleontology and evolutionary biology, which represent periods in the Early Carboniferous from which excavators have not yet found relevant transitional fossils. It is named after American paleontologist Alfred Romer, who first recognised it in 1956. Studies…
