Multidisciplinary study of the Early–Middle Frasnian boundary in the north−western East European Platform (Main Devonian Field) allows evaluation of changes in facies, brachiopod, ostracod, and conodont associations, as well as carbon isotope composition. Brachiopod and ostracod faunas, characterized by predominance of rhynchonellids, spiriferids, podocopids, and platycopids in the Early Frasnian, and by predominance of spiriferids, palaeocopids, and kloedenellocopids in the Middle Frasinan, demonstrate significant changes in dominance and diversity likely caused by regressiontransgression couplets in the extremely shallow−water environment. Changes in diversity of the conodont associations, represented mainly by shallow−water polygnathids and spathognathids, are controlled by sea−level fluctuations as well; however significant evolutionary turnover is absent. Deepening pulses lead to an increasing in diversity of both the benthic and nectic groups, whilst regressions cause diversity fall due to progressive habitat reduction. Most prominent decreasing in the fauna diversity is observed in the late Early Frasnian (Dubnik time) coinciding with the regressive phase of the Late Givetian to Early Frasnian eustatic cycle. Positive−negative δ¹³C excursion, detected in brachiopod calcite from the early interval of the Middle Frasnian, can be correlated with global isotopic perturbations near the Frasnian substage boundary: the positive 2.6‰ δ¹³C excursion is probably linked with enhanced primary production in high−nutrient regimes in the epeiric sea.
