The Tournaisian is in the ICS geologic timescale the lowest stage or oldest age of the Mississippian, the oldest subsystem of the Carboniferous. The Tournaisian age lasted from 358.9 ± 0.4 Ma to 346.7 ± 0.4 Ma. It is preceded by the Famennian (the uppermost stage of the Devonian) and is followed by the Viséan.
The Tournaisian was named after the Belgian city of Tournai. It was introduced in scientific literature by Belgian geologist André Hubert Dumont in 1832. Like many Devonian and lower Carboniferous stages, the Tournaisian is a unit from West European regional stratigraphy that is now used in the official international time scale.
The Tournaisian correlates with the regional North American Kinderhookian and lower Osagean stages and the Chinese Tangbagouan regional stage. In British stratigraphy, the Tournaisian contains three substages: the Hastarian, Ivorian and lower part of the Chadian (the upper part falls in the Viséan).
The base of the Tournaisian (which is also the base of the Carboniferous system) is at the first appearance of the conodont Siphonodella sulcata within the evolutionary lineage from Siphonodella praesulcata to Siphonodella sulcata. The first appearance of ammonite species Gattendorfia subinvoluta is just above this and was used as a base for the Carboniferous in the past. The GSSP for the Tournaisian is near the summit of La Serre hill, in the commune of Cabrières, in the Montagne Noire (southern France). The GSSP is in a section on the southern side of the hill, in an 80 cm deep trench, about 125 m south of the summit, 2.5 km southwest of the village of Cabrières and 2.5 km north of the hamlet of Fontès.

The Famennian is the latter of two faunal stages in the Late Devonian epoch.It lasted from 372.2 ± 1.6 million years ago to 358.9 ± 0.4 million years ago.It was preceded by the Frasnian stage and followed by the Tournaisian stage.It was during this age that tetrapods first appeared.

The Ardennes (/ɑrˈdɛn/; Luxembourgish: Ardennen; also known as Ardennes Forest) is a region of extensive forests, rough terrain, rolling hills and ridges formed by the geophysical features of the Ardennes mountain range and the Moselle and Meuse River basins. Geologically, the range is a western extension of the Eifel and both were raised during the Givetian stage, of the Devonian (419.2 ± 3.2 to about 358 Mya (million years ago)) as were several other named ranges of the same greater range. Primarily in Belgium and Luxembourg, but stretching into Germany and France (lending its name to the Ardennes department and the Champagne-Ardenne région), and geologically into the Eifel—the eastern extension of the Ardennes Forest into Bitburg-Prüm, Germany, most of the Ardenne proper consists of sou...

Day to day, day in, day out
Hum drum drone zone
To and fro and so it goes
Hum drum drone zone
Buzz, buzzing busy bees
Consumer dreams and mall shopping schemes
Buzz, buzzing, oh, look at their eyes
They're mesmerized in the drone zone, drone zone
Far up above, up and away
Up in the ether of opal and gray
Biding our time at the end of a line
We're cast adrift on the doldrum shift
Buzz, buzzing is far away
As we wait to be blown clear away
Buzz, buzzing, we wait alone
To make a break from the drone zone, drone zone
Far down below, row after row
Insect life in a healthy cancer glow
Manicured lawns stretch to a yawn
Hum drum drone zone
Buzz, buzzing busy bees
Buzz, buzzing in the breeze
Buzz, buzzing all alone
To and fro in the drone zone, drone zone
Drone zone, drone zone
