Eifelian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eifelian is one of two faunal stages in the Middle Devonian epoch. It lasted from 397.5 ± 2.7 million years ago to 391.8 ± 2.7 million years ago. It was preceded by the Emsian stage and followed by the Givetian stage.

Named after the Eifelian Hills located in Western Germany where the GSSP can be exposed in the Wetteldorf Richtschnitt.
