Non-marine bivalves are key fossils in Permian continental stratigraphy and palaeogeography. Although known since the end of 19th century, the occurrences from the continental basins of the Southern Alps have never been extensively studied. The non-marine bivalves from the Lower Permian Collio Formation (Brescian pre-Alps) are herein revised, and those from the Guncina Formation (Athesian District) are described for the first time. These two units yielded non-marine bivalves belonging to the genus Palaeomutela sensu lato, which is widespread in the Permian continental successions of eastern Euramerica. Three Palaeomutela morphotypes have been herein described: oval-subtriangular, subtrapezoidal and elongated. The latter includes several specimens herein assigned to Palaeomutela (Palaeanodonta) berrutii sp. nov. and dominates the Collio Formation association. The Guncina Formation yielded also the genus Redikorella, for the first time co-occurring on the same stratigraphic horizon of Palaeomutela, herein assigned to Palaeomutela (Palaeanodonta) guncinaensis sp. nov. To-date, it was generally accepted that the first members of the genera Palaeomutela and Redikorella occurred during the Ufimian (late Kungurian of the global scale) in the non-marine basins of the Cis-Ural Foredeep and of Angara, respectively. Such new finds in the early-middle Kungurian of southwestern Europe, well constrained by radioisotopic dating, suggest new global first appearance (First Appearance Datum) and a possible new center of origin of these genera. This fact raises new questions on biostratigraphy, palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology, which will require further research. If we assume that the genera Palaeomutela and Redikorella had only one center of origin, we need to hypothesise possible migration routes from SW Europe to the continental basins of Eastern Europe and Angara. Apparently, such migration could be better supported by a Pangaea B palaeogeographic configuration.

Silicified kirkbyoid ostracodes from the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain) bear a striking resemblance to those of the Carnic Alps (Austria and Italy). The Spanish ostracodes come from the upper part of the Cuera Limestones (Bashkirian-upper Moscovian), which are exposed along the Playa de la Huelga section (Ponga Nappe) in the coastal area of eastern Asturias, northern Spain. These fossils were collected from upper Moscovian limestones deposited in an outer-platform environment. Most of the material from the Carnic Alps was obtained from the Nassfeld Pass area (eastern Carnic Alps), near the Austrian-Italian border, in limestones of the Kasimovian-Gzhelian Auernig Group and the Lower Permian Rattendorf Group. The several Auernig Group limestones that contain silicified ostracodes were deposited in a shallow-marine environment.Despite the differences in age (according to fusulinids and conodonts), these kirkbyoids are very similar and in some cases identical. Coronakirkbya pramolla new species and Kirkbya carniacantabrica new species occur in both areas. Two other pairs of species, Coronakirkbya krejcigrafi Becker, 1978, and Coronakirkbya carina new species, and Aurikirkbya cf. beckeri (Kozur, 1990) and Aurikirkbya carinthica new species, show close affinities, though they are considered to be different species. Most of the species described herein are either very rare or absent in other regions.The close paleobiogeographic relationships between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Carnic Alps, documented previously only by brachiopods, are confirmed.

Research subject. Magmatic complexes that are developed in the lower (volcanogenic-sedimentary) part of the Ai Formation of the Lower Riphean of the Taratash anticline in the Southern Urals. Results. For the frst time, the Lower Permian SHRIMP dating (288.6 ± 3.1 Ma by U-Pb method on zircon from monzogabbro) was obtained for a dike cutting the basalts of the Lower Paleozoic (420–450 Ma) age. Conclusions. On the eastern slope of the Urals there is a chain of massifs which are close in the age. The chain belongs to the Lower Permian Stepninsky monzogabbro-granosyenite-granite complex, represented by the Uiski, Vandyshevski, Biryukovski and Stepninski intrusions with the age of 281 ± 2, 280 ± 2 and 286 ± 2 Ma, correspondingly (U-Pb method after zircons, SHRIMP-II, VSEGEI) and earlier obtained dates 281 ± 4 Ma (Rb-Sr isochrone) and 283 ± 2 Ma (isotope Pb-Pb method after zircons). The Stepninsky complex was described earlier as plume-dependent. The monzogabbro dike, described in this paper, although being at a considerable distance from the Sepninsky complex, is situated at a strike of the chain of the stepninsky intrusions, is close to them by the composition and age and can be ascribed to the same plume episode. The idea of the plume character of the complex was ехрressed by us relatively long ago based on a superimposed character of the chain of the intrusions over the earlier, collisional Uralian structures. As for the geochemical character (monzogabbro) the dike conforms with one of two standard trends of the Stepninsky complex – monzonite (monzogabbro, monzodiorites, syenites).
