Popis: The fauna provincialism in the interval led to the appearance of some problems with the tracing of this boundary with biostratigraphic methods. Therefore, it is important to determine auxiliary non-biostratigraphic markers of the boundary. The article is focused on the evaluation of the correlation potential of carbon isotope excursions near the Viséan/Serpukhovian boundary, with special attention to the northern Laurussia region. The biostratigraphically constrained carbon isotope record is revealed from the terminal Viséan ‑ lower Serpukhovian (Mississippian) shelf successions of the northern Laurussia (six key sections located in the north of Urals and Cis-Urals, NE Europe). Onset of a negative excursion in the middle part of the Lochriea ziegleri conodont Zone (lower Serpukhovian) shows amplitude of 1–2‰ and high spatial stability, and can be used as a stratigraphic marker in regional and global correlations.
