Direct evidence for the origin and evolution<br />
of land plant/cyanobacterial symbioses is virtually<br />
absent from the fossil record. Here we<br />
report on rare occurrences of prostrate mycorrhizal<br />
axes of the Early Devonian land<br />
plant Aglaophyton major that host a filamentous<br />
cyanobacterium, which enters the plant<br />
through the stomata and colonizes the substomatal<br />
chambers and intercellular spaces in<br />
the outer cortex. In dead ends of the intercellular<br />
system, the filaments form loops and continue<br />
growth in reverse direction. Some filaments<br />
penetrate parenchyma cells close to and<br />
within the mycorrhizal arbuscule-zone and<br />
form intracellular coils. This discovery represents<br />
the earliest direct evidence for cyanobacteria<br />
growing inside land plants, and offers a<br />
model for the types of associations that may<br />
have preceded the evolution of mutualistic<br />
land plant/cyanobacterial symbioses.<br />

While macrofossil remains of herbs and<br />
flowers have disintegrated beyond identification,<br />
pollen survives the digestive process and<br />
can be identified, sometimes to species level,<br />
and is hence an important tool in determining<br />
and reconstructing animal diets.<br />
This study compares macroscopic plant parts<br />
and pollen remains in faeces from grouse.<br />
While macroscopic remains reflect the quantity<br />
of bark, twigs, berries and leaves in the<br />
birds' food, the pollen also reflects other food,<br />
such as catkins, flower buds with developed<br />
pollen, flowers and pollen attached to leaves.<br />
Both techniques reflect that Betula and Salix<br />
are the most important food for grouse in early<br />
Spring. Pollen analysis shows that later in<br />
Spring, after snow-melt, the birds are attracted<br />
to different plants, firstly, it is taxa within the<br />
Ericales and their fruits from the previous year.<br />
The nutrient value of food in periods with<br />
more or less snow cover is based on the environmental<br />
conditions of the previous year.<br />
Later on, different herbs, including insectpollinated<br />
plants rich in nectar/sugar, are recorded<br />
in the pollen but are not reflected in the<br />
macro study, and are therefore lost in most<br />
calculations and not discussed. Nutrient content<br />
calculations based on Spring and Summer<br />
flowers need to be compared with the environmental<br />
and climate conditions of the current<br />
year.<br />

Here we propose Sulcichnus as a new ichnogenus,<br />
withy three new ichnospecies (Sulcichnus<br />
maeandriformis, S. helicoidalis, and S.<br />
sigillum) to name this traces. Sulcichnus is<br />
attributed to the activity of polychaetes. Similar<br />
structurs are recently produced by Lumbrineris<br />
flabellicola, a symbiotic eunicid<br />
which maintains a commensalistic relationship<br />
with solitary corals. In the fossil record. Sulcichnus<br />
occurs associated to shallow marine<br />
environments whereas their Recent counterparts<br />
are described on deep-marine corals. We<br />
interpret this as a consequene of a change in<br />
the environmental requirements of the<br />
coral/worm pair.<br />

We present results tending to characterize<br />
the new records of invertebrates from the<br />
Yacoraite Formation ( Maastrichtian-<br />
Danian). The fossils reported come from two<br />
stratigraphic sections exposed in the surroundings<br />
of Maimara and Jueya, province of Jujuy,<br />
northwestern Argentina. The selection was<br />
based on geological and paleontological evidence.<br />
The recovered fossils include gastropods<br />
and invertebrate fossil traces, including<br />
Planolites, Skolithos and Gastrochanoelites<br />

ichnogenus. As result of our review, we discussed<br />
the possibility of assigning the analyzed<br />
gastropods to the family Zygopleuridae<br />
(gene. et. sp. indet.), as an approximation<br />
to the taxonomic resolution of this fossil fauna.<br />
The trace fossils were assigned to the archetypical<br />
Glossifungites ichnofacies. The study<br />
of the fossil assemblage allowed us to define a<br />
shallow depositional environment, characteristic<br />
of a marine context with high-energy conditions.<br />

The Tindir Group is a
new findings, is briefly reviewed to understand<br />
the impact of the Cryogenian glaciations<br />
on biodiversity and the rate of survival of microbiota.<br />
The Snowball Earth Hypothesis and its<br />
modified versions are discussed in pursuit of<br />
an environmentally plausible Earth System<br />
model consistent with the survival of biota.<br />
The radical version of the Snowball Earth Hypothesis<br />
is ruled out. An Earth System model<br />
with open marine water, ice-free shelf (at least<br />
seasonally) and access to the sea floor is<br />
obligatory for the Cryogenian in order to satisfy<br />
the living requirements of the biota that<br />
survived the period. The palaeobiological<br />
findings are entirely consistent with sedimentological<br />
findings that require open marine<br />
water and well-functioning hydrologic cycle.<br />
The Slushball Earth model accommodates<br />
more adequately these requirements.<br />

anabaritids: affinities, occurrences and systematics.<br />

Feng W M; Kutygin R; Val'kov A. Journal of<br />
Systematic Palaeontology, 2009, 7(3): 241-<br />
298<br />
Anabaritics, or angustiochreids, are extinct<br />
organisms with mineralised tubular and<br />
mostly triradially symmetrical exoskeletons<br />
known from Lower Cambrian beds worldwide.<br />
They are particularly abundant and diverse on<br />
the Siberian Platform, from where their first<br />
representatives have been formally described.<br />
About 70% of the published species names<br />
and all valid genera are known from Siberia,<br />
which makes this region particularly important<br />
for revision of the group. A few species of<br />
anabaritids are also reported from such crustal<br />
units as Western Mongolia, Kazakhstan, South<br />
and North China, Eastern and Western Gondwana,<br />
Avalonia, Laurentia and Baltica. This<br />
study is mainly based on the extensive collections<br />
available from the Siberian Platform,<br />
including material illustrated in publications,<br />
and it provides a systematic review of the diversity<br />
of the group. The evaluation of taxonomically<br />
important features by different authors<br />
is assessed in order to find a balance between<br />
taxonomic oversplitting of anabaritids,<br />
which has resulted in 72 species being named<br />
to date, and unsubstantiated lumping. Of the<br />
19 published genera we place 14 in synonymy,<br />
on the basis of our analysis of the type material.<br />
The genera Anbarites, Combrotubulus,<br />
Selindeochreo, Aculeochrea and Mariochrea<br />
may be retained. We are inclined to regard<br />
anabaritids as diploblastic-grade metazoans<br />
similar to, or located within, the Cnidaria.<br />
There is, however, no firm evidence for that<br />
and they are, therefore, collectively referred to<br />
herein as a group incertae sedis<br />

The paper presents results of pollen analysis<br />
of the Upper Miocene deposits from a borehole<br />
at Józefina (Kraków-Silesia Upland, central<br />
Poland), including data concerning bamboo<br />
type pollen grains, as well other sporomorphs<br />
(pollen, spores and freshwater phytoplankton).<br />
Fossil pollen grains of bamboos<br />
(Graminidites bambusoides Stuchlik) were<br />
found in two samples, and in one sample they<br />
were accompanied by conidium of Tetraploalike<br />
fossil fungus, resembling the recent<br />
Tetraploa aristata Berkeley & Broome. This<br />
fungus could grow on leaves of the bamboos<br />
or other grasses, but also on variety of other<br />
plants. Comparison of palynological data,<br />
studies of leaf floras and the nearest living<br />
relatives, confirmed the connection of the fossil<br />
bamboos with wetland, reed and riparian<br />
vegetation. Results of these analyses indicate a<br />
moderately wet and warm temperate palaeoclimate.<br />

地 理 学 意 义 = Biogeographic implications of<br />
Albian Mohria-like spores (Family Anemiaceae)<br />
in SW Gondwana (Patagonia). ( 英<br />
文 ). Archangelsky S. Review of Palaeobotany<br />
and Palynology, 2009, 157(3-4): 301-308<br />
The schizaeaceous extant genus Mohria has<br />
a distribution restricted to South Africa and<br />
Madagascar area. Its cicatricose spores are<br />
characterised by their large size and muri with<br />
hollow longitudinal channels unknown in<br />
other schizaeaceous genera. Fossil spores that<br />
sometimes have been referred to Mohria lack<br />
this typical character and therefore the deter-<br />
4
minations were discarded. Early Cretaceous<br />
(Albian) sediments from Patagonia, referred to<br />
the Piedra Clavada Formation of the Austral<br />
Basin, contain spores that have the characters<br />
now found in Mohria. These fossils are hereby<br />
assigned to the new genus Palaeomohria that<br />
includes several morphological types. The<br />
paleogeographical proximity of South Africa<br />
and Patagonia in Southwestern Gondwana<br />
persisted from the Permian to the Early Cretaceous,<br />
during a time when floras of both regions<br />
had significant similarities. In this context,<br />
the finding of Mohria-like spores in<br />
Patagonia suggests that the distribution of this<br />
fern was more extended in the past and became<br />
restricted while the continents shifted<br />
apart during the Cretaceous/Tertiary. The two<br />
living Mohria species may then represent relict<br />
taxa of a much more varied and rich group<br />
that flourished during the Early Cretaceous in<br />
SW Gondwana.<br />

W M; Krystyn L. Review of Palaeobotany and<br />

The Triassic–Jurassic transition is characterized<br />
by a major extinction in the marine<br />
realm but evidence for floral turnover is ambiguous.<br />
Here we present the results of a detailed<br />
palynological and carbon isotope<br />
(δ 13 C org ) study across the Triassic–Jurassic<br />
boundary from the Hochalplgraben section,<br />
with first data from the Kuhjoch section. Both<br />
sections are located in the Eiberg Basin<br />
(Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria) and they<br />
contain well-preserved palynomorphs and<br />
ammonites which allow an integration of terrestrial<br />
microfloral events in a marine biostratigraphic<br />
framework. Five palynomorph<br />
assemblages are recognized in the Hochalplgraben<br />
section. The initial δ 13 C org shift occurs<br />
at the base of the Tiefengraben Member, the<br />
lower part of the Kendlbach Formation, and<br />
coincides with an acme of prasinophytes,<br />
mainly Cymatiosphaera polypartita. Typical<br />
Late Triassic pollen taxa (e.g. Lunatisporites<br />
rhaeticus, Rhaetipollis germanicus and<br />
Ovalipollis pseudoalatus) disappear at the top<br />
of the Schattwald beds (Tiefengraben Member).<br />
The first occurrence of the ammonite<br />
Psiloceras spelae n. ssp., which is proposed as<br />
a marker for the base of the Jurassic System,<br />
occurs in the Trachysporites–Heliosporites<br />
palynomorph assemblage zone. The base of<br />
this zone is marked by the first occurrence of<br />
Cerebropollenites thiergartii. Our results<br />
show that palynological and δ 13 C org records<br />
from different sections within the Eiberg Basin<br />
correlate well and that the established palynostratigraphic<br />
scheme allows for very detailed<br />
local and regional correlations (e.g. with<br />
Danish, German and English basins).<br />

Studies of spore/pollen wall ultrastructure in<br />

Lugardon. ( 英 文 ). Wellman C H; Stamm L G;<br />
Guignard G. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology,<br />
2009, 156(1-2): 2-6<br />
Studies of land plant spores/pollen include a<br />
large subject area of both living and fossil material.<br />
They impact on many areas of science,<br />
ranging from classical neobotany and palaeobotany,<br />
analysis of present and past environments<br />
and climate change, geological correlation<br />
of rocks, agronomy, medicine (allergy<br />
studies) and so forth. Advances in the scientific<br />
understanding of spores/pollen have to a<br />
large extent been driven by technical advances<br />
in microscopy (essentially the medium<br />
through which one observes these microscopic<br />
reproductive particles). One of the major technological<br />
advances that has impacted<br />
spore/pollen research was the development in<br />
the 1950s of commercially available transmission<br />
electron microscopy (TEM). This instrumentation<br />
enabled for the first time high powered<br />
magnification of sections of spores/pollen.<br />
This paved the way for the description of cellular<br />
features in extant spores/pollen, which<br />
made it possible to engage in studies of ontogeny<br />
(including exospore/exine development).<br />
The latter proved especially useful for taxonomic<br />
and phylogenetic analysis, especially as<br />
it can often be extended back into the rich<br />
spore/pollen fossil record. This paper provides<br />
a brief review of the historical development of<br />
spore/pollen research, and places in context<br />
the influence of Bernard Lugardon (1930–<br />
2007), one of the pioneers of TEM analysis of<br />
spores/pollen. Sadly Bernard passed away on<br />
the 26th January 2007. The papers collected in<br />
this special volume are dedicated to the memory<br />
of Bernard Lugardon.<br />

Thousands of dispersed megaspores of the<br />
Valvisisporites auritus-type, some isolated<br />
megasporangia still containing them and dispersed<br />
microspores of the Endosporites globiformis-type<br />
have been found occurring in<br />
close association in the Late Devonian<br />
(Famennian) of Ohio, USA. Until now, these<br />
spores have only been found in the Carboniferous,<br />
where they have been shown to have<br />
been produced by isoetalean lycopsids assigned<br />
to the plant genus Chaloneria and the<br />
morphogenus Polysporia. The discovery of<br />
dispersed megaspores of the V. auritus-type<br />
and microspores of the E. globiformis-type in<br />
the Famennian of the USA may indicate that<br />
such sub-arborescent lycopsids already existed<br />
in the Late Devonian, which thus extends the<br />
range of distribution of these taxa, at least in<br />
North America. The present work describes,<br />
using LM, SEM and TEM, megaspores of V.<br />
auritus-type, megasporangia containing these<br />
megaspores, and microspores of E. globiformis-type.<br />
The comparison with their Carboniferous<br />
representatives shows that they are<br />
quite similar. This comparative study permits<br />
clarification of some ultrastructural features of<br />
the megaspores of the Valvisisporites-type,<br />
such as the partly lamellate–partly amorphous<br />
innermost exospore, demonstrating that this is<br />
a characteristic and important ultrastructural<br />
feature of this genus.<br />

as a distinct species that can be placed with<br />
the genus Lagenicula as a new combination.<br />
Morphological/ultrastructural studies confirm<br />
the lycopsid affinities of this megaspore and it<br />
is suggested that it probably derived from an<br />
arborescent lycopsid that belonged with the<br />
Lepidocarpaceae. Thus it is an early example<br />
of a megaspore derived from an arborescent<br />
lycopsid of the type that went on to dominate<br />
the Euramerican Coal Measure forests. The<br />
Ohio Tournaisian megaspore assemblage is<br />
surprisingly diverse revealing an interesting<br />
insight into vegetation ecology at this poorly<br />
understood time in plant history.<br />

Possible effects of seismic activity in the<br />
Dead Sea basin on the regional vegetation distribution<br />
are presented in this paper. The palynology<br />
was investigated in high resolution at<br />
the Holocene outcrop near the Ein Feshkha<br />
oasis. Pollen samples were collected from<br />
three intervals (A, B, D), with thicknesses of<br />
5–15 cm, containing 1–2 seismites each, and<br />
from one undisturbed layer (interval C). All<br />
four intervals are from the same Ein Feshkha<br />
outcrop section, but from different depths. In<br />
two of the intervals (B, C) the main pollen<br />
indicators (e.g. Olea, Pinus, Asteroideae,<br />
Cichorioideae) show no significant aberrations<br />
from the typical pollen fluctuations. Interval A,<br />
deposited during the late Byzantine period,<br />
shows a decline of Olea percentages immediately<br />
after the sedimentation of a breccia layer<br />
(interpreted as a seismite). While this decrease<br />
in olive percentages predominantly reflects an<br />
aridification crisis at the end of the Byzantine<br />
period, damage to olive orchards due to earthquake<br />
(root damages, collapses of the crowns)<br />
and/or the abandonment of cultivated land as a<br />
consequence of an earthquake cannot be ruled<br />
out. Nevertheless, minor anthropogenic indicators<br />
like Vitis or Juglans, which show low<br />
abundances in the pollen diagram of Ein<br />
Feshkha, as well as other trees and herbs, are<br />
not affected by the late Byzantine earthquake.<br />
Interval D, deposited during the Hellenistic–<br />
Roman period, shows a slight decrease of<br />
Olea and an increase of Cichorioideae after<br />
the deposition of a seismite. Our hypothesis<br />
that earthquakes might have affected vegetation<br />
dynamics in intervals A and D is supported<br />
by cluster analysis.<br />
While the data of this study do not support<br />
the use of pollen as a reliable paleoseismic<br />
tool in the lacustrine environment of the Dead<br />
Sea, some small effects of earthquakes on pollen<br />
fluctuations cannot be excluded.<br />

New fossil pollen grains were recovered<br />
from marine Miocene deposits from eastern<br />
Patagonia (southern South America). Sculpture<br />
and structure exine features indicate a<br />
close relationship with modern Barnadesioideae,<br />
a basal lineage within Asteraceae.<br />
Barnadesioideae is confined to South America<br />
and is represented mainly by shrubs, herbs and<br />
some trees occurring in different habitats under<br />
a wide range of climatic conditions. It has<br />
recently attracted a great deal of attention as it<br />
was considered the sister-group to the remaining<br />
members of the family based on molecular<br />
data. Barnadesioideae has not previously been<br />
described in the fossil record. One new genus<br />
and three species are erected in Quillembaypollis<br />
gamerroi, Q. tayuoides and Q. stuessyi<br />
to assemble distinct pollen types clearly similar<br />
to those produced today by extant Chuquiraga,<br />
Dasyphyllum and Schlechtendalia, respectively.<br />
These are the first fossil records of<br />
these genera, taking them back 23–20 Ma<br />
(Dasyphyllum and Chuquiraga types) and 11–<br />
9 Ma (Schlechtendalia type). The new morphotaxon<br />
is clearly distinguishable by being<br />
microechinate, and by having a thick sexine<br />
formed by one (Q. tayuoides), two (Q. gamer-<br />
7
oi) or three (Q. stuessyi) layers, as the most<br />
prominent features. Their closest living relatives<br />
today grow far from the studied site<br />
(eastern Patagonia), with the exception of<br />
Chuquiraga type which is the sole surviving<br />
group in the region. Pollen and spore assemblages<br />
of Early Miocene age (23–20 Ma) from<br />
southern South America indicate that the climate<br />
was sub-humid and temperate to warm–<br />
temperate. This climatic trend may have allowed<br />
Dasyphyllum species to radiate in eastern<br />
Patagonian forests, while Chuquiraga<br />
probably occupied more open areas along the<br />
coast. Late Miocene (11–9 Ma) palynological<br />
assemblages suggest warm but seasonally dry<br />
conditions, in which Schlechtendalia developed<br />
probably in the hinterland vegetation<br />
joined with low trees, and halophytic/xerophytic<br />
shrubs and herbs.<br />

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology,<br />
2009, 154(1-4): 54-64<br />
This paper contributes to an understanding<br />
of the relationship between pollen assemblages<br />
and grain-size in north-west China.<br />
Based on the relationship, we have reconstructed<br />
the environmental and vegetation history<br />
from sediments from Zhuye Lake, located<br />
in the marginal area of the Asian monsoon.<br />
During the Late Glacial (before ~ 13 cal ka<br />
BP), the high content of sand is correlated<br />
with low pollen concentrations, which implies<br />
an arid environment and low vegetation cover<br />
in the drainage. The relatively high percentages<br />
of Pinus and Quercus pollen, derived<br />
from nearby high elevations, may indicate particularly<br />
low vegetation cover in the lower<br />
part of the watershed. Between 13 and 7.7 cal<br />
ka BP, increasing silt content is correlated<br />
with high percentages of Picea pollen. Fluvial<br />
flow and effective humidity at high elevations,<br />
as well as lake-level, all increase. Following<br />
this, an abrupt environmental change which is<br />
likely caused by some change in lake geomorphology<br />
persists for about 300 years. The<br />
Holocene Optimum is between 7.4 and 4.7 cal<br />
ka BP in this region. Pollen concentrations<br />
reach their highest values in the section. The<br />
abundant herb pollen reflects the high vegetation<br />
cover in the lower part of the watershed.<br />
The silt and the fine components in the sediments<br />
are high and stable indicating optimal<br />
moisture conditions. Between 4.7–1.5 cal ka<br />
BP the lake-level fell and silty peat was<br />
formed at the site. The pollen concentration<br />
decreased in contrast to the high pollen concentration<br />
in the Holocene Optimum. In the<br />
last 1500 years the lake-level fell while terrestrial<br />
sediments were deposited at the site. In<br />
this phase Chenopodiaceae, Nitraria and<br />
Ephedra reach their highest values in the section<br />
reflecting an arid environment. In Zhuye<br />
Lake and the surrounding area environmental<br />
changes are mainly controlled the combined<br />
effects of the East Asian monsoon and the<br />
Westerlies since the Late Glacial. In the last<br />
~ 1.5 cal ka BP the intensive arid trend may be<br />
correlated with changes in the Westerlies.<br />

A palaeoecological record from Lakes Bolac<br />
and Turangmoroke details the changing<br />
nature of vegetation patterns, lake levels and<br />
climate in the drier part of the Victorian Western<br />
Plains over approximately the last<br />
90,000 years. In addition to the routine palynological<br />
proxies of pollen, spores and charcoal,<br />
a range of non-pollen palynomorphs<br />
(remains of algae, fungi, insects and other invertebrates)<br />
was analysed and described and<br />
provides useful additional information on the<br />
ecology of past vegetation communities. A<br />
chronology for the record is provided by radiocarbon<br />
and refined optical luminescence<br />
dating in the upper part of the sequence, and<br />
the latter technique is used to provide a timeframe<br />
for the period beyond the radiocarbon<br />
limit.<br />
The record shows that during marine isotope<br />
stage (MIS) 5.1 and mid MIS 3 the regional<br />
vegetation was composed of open<br />
woodland dominated by Allocasuarina luehmannii<br />
type with low numbers of Banksia,<br />
Eucalyptus and other Myrtaceae under which<br />
a diverse understorey developed. During these<br />
times Lake Turangmoroke held fresh water of<br />
varying depths. The degree of representation<br />
8
of MIS 4 and MIS 3 in the record is uncertain<br />
owing to discontinuities resulting from the<br />
lake having periodically dried. A change to<br />
open grassland-steppe occurred shortly after<br />
47,000 years ago and lake levels fluctuated<br />
considerably before the lake became shallow<br />
and saline. Open grassland-steppe continued<br />
through MIS 2 with almost no trees present<br />
while the aquatic flora reflected further lake<br />
level declines and increasing salinity. Driest<br />
conditions, indicated by deflation of lake<br />
sediments during lunette building, occurred<br />
between 18,000 and 11,000 cal yr BP. Open<br />
woodland in the early Holocene was dominated<br />
by A. verticillata type until partial replacement<br />
by Eucalyptus around 7000–<br />
8000 14 C yr BP when the vegetation cover<br />
present at European arrival was established.<br />

spore-like palynomorphs recovered from Upper<br />
Cambrian near-shore deposits in Wisconsin,<br />

casearius gen. et sp. nov., are<br />
smooth, thick-walled, synoecosporal (within a<br />
common wall) packets containing up to four<br />
spore dyads. The synoecosporal packets themselves<br />
may be aggregated into clusters of two<br />
or more packets. The discovery that the smallest<br />
purported meiotic units are dyads is supportive<br />
of prior hypotheses that attempted to<br />
explain the abundance of dyads in the lower<br />
Paleozoic fossil record. Their abundance has<br />
been especially perplexing given the absence<br />
of any modern plants that produce dyads via<br />
normal sporogenesis. Dyads appear to precede<br />
tetrads as the fundamental resistant-walled<br />
propagule in the spore record, indicating a<br />
transitional stage in the evolution of sporogenesis<br />
in plants prior to the canalization of<br />
meiosis into a single coördinated process. The<br />
variation in spore number per synoecosporal<br />
packet could be due to endoduplication of zygote<br />
DNA prior to cytokinesis during sporogenesis–paralleling<br />
a process that occurs in<br />
Coleochaete today.<br />

sections located at Chenjiahe and at<br />

lata and the Conochitina pseudocarinata subbiozones,<br />
the Lagenochitina combazi biozone,<br />

biozones benefit from a direct calibration<br />

base of the Lagenochitina combazi biozone is<br />
very close, or coincides with, the base of the<br />
Dapingian, as defined by the FAD of the<br />
conodont B. triangularis. For global correlation<br />

Accurate differentiation between tropical<br />
forest and savannah ecosystems in the fossil<br />
pollen record is hampered by the combination<br />
of: i) poor taxonomic resolution in pollen<br />
9
identification, and ii) the high species diversity<br />
of many lowland tropical families, i.e.<br />
with many different growth forms living in<br />
numerous environmental settings. These barriers<br />
to interpreting the fossil record hinder our<br />
understanding of the past distributions of different<br />
Neotropical ecosystems and consequently<br />
cloud our knowledge of past climatic,<br />
biodiversity and carbon storage patterns.<br />
Modern pollen studies facilitate an improved<br />
understanding of how ecosystems are represented<br />
by the pollen their plants produce and<br />
therefore aid interpretation of fossil pollen<br />
records. To understand how to differentiate<br />
ecosystems palynologically, it is essential that<br />
a consistent sampling method is used across<br />
ecosystems. However, to date, modern pollen<br />
studies from tropical South America have employed<br />
a variety of methodologies (e.g. pollen<br />
traps, moss polsters, soil samples). In this paper,<br />
we present the first modern pollen study<br />
from the Neotropics to examine the modern<br />
pollen rain from moist evergreen tropical forest<br />
(METF), semi-deciduous dry tropical forest<br />
(SDTF) and wooded savannah (cerradão)<br />
using a consistent sampling methodology (pollen<br />
traps). Pollen rain was sampled annually in<br />
September for the years 1999–2001 from<br />
within permanent vegetation study plots in, or<br />
near, the Noel Kempff Mercado National Park<br />
(NKMNP), Bolivia. Comparison of the modern<br />
pollen rain within these plots with detailed<br />
floristic inventories allowed estimates of the<br />
relative pollen productivity and dispersal for<br />
individual taxa to be made (% pollen/% vegetation<br />
or ‘p/v’). The applicability of these data<br />
to interpreting fossil records from lake sediments<br />
was then explored by comparison with<br />
pollen assemblages obtained from five lake<br />
surface samples.<br />
Pollen productivity is demonstrated to vary<br />
inter-annually and conforms to a consistent<br />
hierarchy for any given year: METF<br />
> SDTF > cerradão. This suggests an association<br />
between pollen productivity and basic<br />
structural characteristics of the ecosystem, i.e.<br />
closed canopy vs. open canopy vs. savannah.<br />
Comparison of modern pollen and vegetation<br />
revealed that some important floristic elements<br />
were completely absent from the pollen:<br />
Qualea and Erisma (METF), Bauhinia, Simira<br />
and Guazuma (SDTF), and Pouteria and Caryocar<br />
(cerradão). Anadenanthera was found<br />
to be abundant in both the pollen and flora of<br />
SDTF (p/v = 3.6), while Poaceae was relatively<br />
poorly represented in cerradão (0.2).<br />
Moraceae, Cecropia and Schefflera were<br />
found to be over-represented palynologically<br />
in all ecosystems. Overall, the data demonstrated<br />
that no one taxon could be used as a<br />
definitive indicator of any of the ecosystems.<br />
Instead, associations of taxa were found to be<br />
important: METF = Moraceae (> 40%), Cecropia,<br />
Hyeronima, Celtis; SDTF = Anadenanthera,<br />
Apuleia, Ferdinandusa and nonarboreal<br />
Asteraceae, Bromeliaceae, Piper and<br />
fern spores; cerradão = Poaceae, Myrtaceae,<br />
Borreria, Solanum plus Asteraceae and fern<br />
spores. Interpretation of Poaceae pollen was<br />
highlighted as problematic, with relatively low<br />
abundance in the cerradão (< 20%) in comparison<br />
to high abundance in lake environments<br />
(c. 30–50%). Re-examination of fossil<br />
pollen records from NKMNP revealed that<br />
modern vegetation associations were only established<br />
in the last few thousand years.<br />

An unusual megaspore has been recorded<br />
from beds within the Weald Clay Group of<br />
south-east England. Described as Clockhousea<br />
capelensis gen. et sp. nov., it is characterised<br />
by having a thick outer layer of exine consisting<br />
of closely packed columnar to clavate<br />
elements with constricted bases attached to a<br />
perforated inner layer and a sculpture that<br />
ranges from having the appearance of a negative<br />
reticulum through closely spaced verrucae<br />
to a mixture of verrucate and essentially baculate<br />
elements, all of which are surface manifestations<br />
and extensions of the underlying<br />
structure. These characters do not readily indicate<br />
a systematic relationship with any known<br />
heterosporous plant genus or family. The localised<br />
occurrence and relative abundance of<br />
the spores in a few beds suggest that some of<br />
the parent plants grew close to water bodies<br />
where they were deposited and preserved.<br />
Their recovery from sediments of late Hauterivian-early<br />
Barremian age indicates that the<br />
species has potential as a biostratigraphic<br />
marker in the upper Wealden succession of<br />
southern England and perhaps elsewhere.<br />

Acrostichum, on the island previous to World<br />
War II. The occurrence of Casuarina equisetifolia<br />
Linneaus 1759, from cores elsewhere on<br />
the island of Saipan, at depths predating the<br />
arrival of humans to the island, suggest that<br />
this tree species is endemic to Saipan rather<br />
than a recent invasive species. These findings<br />
will assist in replanting native vegetation once<br />
destroyed through wartime activities on the<br />
island.<br />

Two specimens of compression strobili<br />
from the Bolsovian of the Kladno–Rakovník<br />
Basin, Czech Republic, were studied for in<br />
situ spores. Sporangia of strobili are disintegrated.<br />
Only fragments of sphenophyllalean<br />
axes and sphenophyllalean leaves occur in the<br />
rock together with the sporangia and sporangiophores.<br />
The direct evidence about sphenophyllalean<br />
affinity of strobili is that sporangia<br />
are connected with axis by a short nonscutelliform<br />
sporangiophore that is typical<br />
only for the genus Bowmanites Binney. The<br />
lack of morphological features of strobili does<br />
not enable the erection of a new species and,<br />
therefore, it is possible to classify the specimens<br />
only as Bowmanites sp. Reticulate<br />
spores comparable with the dispersed species<br />
Reticulatisporites muricatus Kosanke are reported<br />
for the first time as in situ from compression<br />
cone specimens and represent new<br />
morphological type of sphenophyllalean<br />
spores.<br />

The exine ultrastructure of Williamsoniella<br />
coronata Thomas from the Bajocian of Yorkshire<br />
(United Kingdom) was investigated with<br />
light, scanning electron, and transmission<br />
electron microscopy. The pollen averages 16.5<br />
mu m along its short axis and 24.5 mu m<br />
along its long axis and is monosulcate, and the<br />
nonapertural sculpturing is distinctly verrucate.<br />
The pollen wall is homogeneous, and the sulcus<br />
membrane is composed of thin exine with<br />
scattered small granules. The pollen grains<br />
differ in exine sculpturing and pollen wall ultrastructure<br />
from pollen grains of the bennettitalean<br />
taxa Cycadeoidea dacotensis (MacBride)<br />
Ward and Leguminanthus siliquosis<br />
(Leuthardt) Kraeusel. They are similar to dispersed<br />
pollen grains of Granamonocolpites<br />
luisae Herbst from the Triassic Chinle Formation<br />
of the United States, supporting the bennettitalean<br />
affinity of these dispersed pollen<br />
grains. The Bennettitales are palynologically<br />
characterized by monosulcate "boat-shaped"<br />
pollen with a homogeneous or granular pollen<br />
wall ultrastructure.<br />

Patterns of tectum ornamentation in pollen<br />
of Quercus (oak trees, Fagaceae) are investigated<br />
using high-resolution scanning electron<br />
microscopy. Tectumornamentation is highly<br />
consistent at the infrageneric level and can be<br />
used to polarize character states within Quercus<br />
by comparison with other genera in Fagaceae.<br />
In particular, pollen data strongly suggest<br />
the recognition of an infrageneric Ilex<br />
group and, for the first time, allow definition<br />
of the set of taxa that comprise this group. The<br />
infrageneric Ilex group displays a relatively<br />
simple tectum ornamentation exclusively<br />
found in this group of oaks, in Fagus, and in<br />
extinct lineages related to Trigonobalanus,<br />
Colombobalanus, andFormanodendron. Such<br />
11
a simple type of tectumornamentation is also<br />
knownto represent an early developmental<br />
stage in infrageneric groups of Quercus that<br />
have otherwise complex ornamentation<br />
(Quercus and Lobatae). Ornamentation of the<br />
tectum in the infrageneric Cyclobalanopsis<br />
group can be derived from the plesiomorphic<br />
Ilex type showing little accumulation of secondary<br />
sporopollenin. In the infrageneric Cerris,<br />
Protobalanus, Quercus, and Lobatae<br />
groups, accumulation of secondary sporopollenin<br />
masks the basic Ilex pattern. The five<br />
distinct types of tectum ornamentation are in<br />
perfect agreement with published molecular<br />
phylogenies of Quercus. Thus, pollen ornamentation<br />
is a most valuable tool to identify<br />
members of the major infrageneric groups in<br />
Quercus and provides the basis for a reevaluation<br />
of the fossil record of Quercus.<br />

Against the background of the profound<br />
global climatic shift from greenhouse to icehouse<br />
conditions during the Eocene–<br />
Oligocene transition, major geographic and<br />
oceanographic changes were taking place in<br />
the Norwegian–Greenland Sea region. The<br />
Vøring Plateau was a prominent structural<br />
feature which influenced the evolution of water<br />
mass circulation in the Nordic seas, and we<br />
present detailed palaeoenvironmental reconstructions<br />
of this structure. New palynological<br />
results suggest that shallow water inner-neritic<br />
environments were developed across parts of<br />
the Vøring Plateau during early Eocene times,<br />
with terrestrial and brackish water palynomorphs<br />
indicating that both basement highs to<br />
the north, and the crestal part of the Vøring<br />
Escarpment, may have been emergent. A transition<br />
from marginal-marine to open marine<br />
conditions occurred around 44 Ma ago, with<br />
the complete subsidence of the Vøring Plateau<br />
below sea level, facilitating inter-basinal surface<br />
water circulation and promoted a significant<br />
increase in photic zone fertility. Carbon<br />
sequestration associated with such enhanced<br />
productivity in the late Eocene Nordic seas<br />
may have contributed to declining Cenozoic<br />
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, thence to<br />
declining global temperatures and the development<br />
of limited Northern Hemisphere continental<br />
ice on Greenland in the latest Eocene.<br />

The Quaternary history of northern Sweden<br />
as known today is based on studies on glacial<br />
landforms and Quaternary deposits. In these<br />
studies the north-eastern part of the County of<br />
Norrbotten has been of special interest since<br />
landform systems of different age occur in the<br />
region. This article focuses on Veiki moraine,<br />
a type of hummocky moraine of pre-Late<br />
Weichselian age. Veiki moraine has a distinct<br />
distribution pattern, showing the ice margin of<br />
a decaying pre-Late Weichselian ice. A sediment<br />
core from within a Veiki moraine plateau<br />
at Rissejauratj was studied by means of<br />
pollen analysis. The pollen assemblages at<br />
Rissejauratj are dominated by Betula pollen<br />
and correlate with spectra from the warmest<br />
Weichselian interstadial periods recognised at<br />
other sites in northern Sweden. The Rissejauratj<br />
sequence can be correlated to either (1)<br />
the middle part of the first Weichselian interstadial<br />
(Tarendo I), (2) the early phase of the<br />
second Weichselian interstadial (Tarendo II),<br />
or (3) the late phase of the second Weichselian<br />
interstadial (Tarendo II). If alternative 3 is<br />
correct the ice sheet that formed the Veiki moraine<br />
was small and probably did not reach<br />
outside the eastern limit of Veiki moraine distribution.<br />

samples are extremely rich in excellently preserved<br />
pollen grains, including numerous pollen<br />
grains of insect-pollinated plants. Such<br />
characteristics are typical of palynological<br />
assemblages from honey. The palynological<br />
assemblages from three pot fragments studied<br />
are dominated by pollen grains of Rosaceae;<br />
however, they differ from one another in the<br />
subdominants. The discovery of several kinds<br />
of honey testifies to the presence of welldeveloped<br />
beekeeping in the time of the Early<br />
Kurgans. Agriculture, with a significant role<br />
of wheat, was also developed in the region of<br />

conditions that existed during the epoch studied<br />
differ significantly from the present day.<br />

A palynological analysis of a Lower Miocene<br />
cored section from Sonder Vium in western<br />
Jylland, Denmark, provides new data regarding<br />
the vegetation and climate during the<br />
earliest Neogene. Most samples yielded well-<br />
13
preserved palynomorphs. Terrestrial pollen<br />
and spores dominate, with lesser proportions<br />
of dinoflagellates. A fluvial input into the marine<br />
setting is corroborated by the presence of<br />
freshwater algae, indicating, an inner-neritic<br />
setting. A level containing comparatively<br />
abundant dinoflagellate cysts probably represents<br />
a transgressional event. The late Aquitanian<br />
age of the sequence as suggested by previous<br />
studies is supported by the composition<br />
of the palynoflora, e.g., by the presence of<br />
Ephedripites, Platycarya, and the relatively<br />
frequent occurrence of Engelhardtia. The pollen<br />
record is dominated by Taxodiaceae-<br />
Cupressaceae suggesting that swamp forests<br />
dominated the onshore region, which is consistent<br />
with previous results from central and<br />
northern Europe. Besides Taxodium, the<br />
swamp forest also contained angiosperm taxa<br />
such as Myricaceae, Nyssa, Betula, and Alnus.<br />
Elevated or better drained hinterland areas<br />
hosted a diverse mesophytic forest, with a<br />
ground cover of reeds, sedges and pteridophytes.<br />
Abundant pollen taxa derived from<br />
mesophytic forests indicates the presence of<br />
evergreen conifers, such as Pinus, Sequoia and<br />
Sciadopitys, and deciduous angiosperms, including<br />
Fagus and Quercus. A decrease in<br />
relative abundances of thermophilous elements<br />
such as Arecaceae (palms), Ilex,<br />
Mastixiaceae and Engelhardtia, in the middle<br />
part of the studied succession indicates a possible<br />
correlation to the late Aquitanian climatic<br />
deterioration. The composition of the<br />
palynological assemblages including widely<br />
distributed Taxodium swamps, suggests a<br />
warm, frost-free temperate climate during the<br />
Aquitanian in Denmark.<br />

GFF, 2005, 127(3): 169-178<br />
Eight sites with a dark, clayey basal till in<br />
central Sweden have been studied by means of<br />
microfossils in order to clarify the stratigraphic<br />
position of the till. The composition of<br />
the identified reworked pollen and diatom floras<br />
shows interstadial or interglacial "signatures".<br />
Pollen spectra dominated by herbs,<br />
shrubs and Betula are supposed to be of interstadial<br />
origin. The interglacial composition is<br />
mostly characterised by 80-90% tree pollen<br />
including thermophilous trees and brackish<br />
water diatoms (Spanga). However, to distinguish<br />
reworked pollen spectra of interstadial<br />
origin from spectra in sediments deposited<br />
during the initial or final phase of an interglacial<br />
is hazardous. The vegetation zonation in<br />
central Sweden especially during the Early<br />
Weichselian interstadials is incompletely<br />
known. An outline is given of different age<br />
alternatives for the studied till. According to<br />
our present knowledge it is most likely that it<br />
was accumulated by advancing ice, in most<br />
cases in the third Weichselian stadial (MIS 4),<br />
i.e. after the Odderade Interstadial, in some<br />
cases possibly in MIS 5b after the Brorup Interstadial.<br />
The results show that the composition<br />
of redeposited microfossil spectra can<br />
give additional information to lithostratigraphical<br />
data on the age and origin of a till<br />

Magazine, 2008, 145(6): 868-885<br />
The Tarim Basin in Northwest China hosts<br />
petroleum reservoirs of Cambrian, Ordovician,<br />
Carboniferous, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous<br />
and Tertiary ages. The sedimentary thickness<br />
in the basin reaches about 15 km and with an<br />
area of 560 000 km(2), the basin is expected<br />
to contain giant oil and gas fields. It is therefore<br />
important to determine the ages and depositional<br />
environments of the petroleum<br />
source rocks. For prospective evaluation and<br />
exploration of petroleum, palynological investigations<br />
were carried out on 38 crude oil<br />
samples collected from 22 petroleum reservoirs<br />
in the Tarim Basin and on additionally<br />
56 potential source rock samples from the<br />
same basin. In total, 173 species of spores and<br />
pollen referred to 80 genera, and 27 species of<br />
algae and fungi referred to 16 genera were<br />
identified from the non-marine Mesozoic<br />
sources. By correlating the palynormorph assemblages<br />
in the crude oil samples with those<br />
in the potential source rocks, the Triassic and<br />
Jurassic petroleum source rocks were identified.<br />
Furthermore, the palynofloras in the petroleum<br />
provide evidence for interpretation of<br />
the depositional environments of the petroleum<br />
source rocks. The affinity of the miospores<br />
indicates that the petroleum source<br />
rocks were formed in swamps in brackish to<br />
lacustrine depositional environments under<br />
warm and humid climatic conditions. The palynomorphs<br />
in the crude oils provide further<br />
information about passage and route of petroleum<br />
migration, which is significant for interpreting<br />
petroleum migration mechanisms. Additionally,<br />
the thermal alternation index (TAI)<br />
based on miospores indicates that the Triassic<br />
and Jurassic deposits in the Tarim Basin are<br />
mature petroleum source rocks.<br />

Dimitrova TKH; Cleal C J. Geological Magazine,<br />
2007, 144(3): 513-524<br />
The Dobrudzha Coalfield in northeast Bulgaria<br />
has coal-bearing deposits ranging from<br />
latest Namurian to early Stephanian age (late<br />
Bashkirian to Moscovian age). Palynology of<br />
the coals in the upper Makedonka, Krupen and<br />
Gurkovo formations has been used to identify<br />
major changes in the vegetation during late<br />
Westphalian and early Stephanian times. The<br />
palynomorphs were grouped in two different<br />
ways (according to general rnorphotype and<br />
according to parent plant group) and stratigraphical<br />
trends in the two sets of groups used<br />
to identify vegetation change through the succession.<br />
Detrended Correspondence Analysis<br />
was also used to identify ecological relationships<br />
between the palynofloras. In the upper<br />
Makedonka and Krupen formations, lycophyte<br />
spores mostly comprise 15-25 % of the palynofloras<br />
in the thicker seams, but in the<br />
thinner coals they can represent Lip to 55 %.<br />
Of the other plant groups, ferns are the most<br />
abundant, representing 31-69 % in the thicker<br />
seams, 12-41 % in the thinner seams. This<br />
suggests that the arborescent lycophytes were<br />
mainly restricted to pioneer vegetation in<br />
these upland areas, and were replaced by ferns<br />
as the peat substrates became better developed,<br />
suggesting better-drained conditions. The<br />
thinner seams also have a noticeable component<br />
of sphenophyll spores, indicating significant<br />
areas of open conditions allowing colonization<br />
by these scrambling plants. In the<br />
Gurkovo Formation coals, lycophytes form an<br />
even smaller part of the palynological spectra,<br />
usually less than 10 % and in only one sample<br />
just over 25 %; fern spores make up 43-57 %<br />
of the palynofloras. This is in contrast to the<br />
palynofloras reported from contemporaneous<br />
elastic deposits in South Wales, most of which<br />
consist mostly of 34-60 % lycophyte spores<br />
and 14-34 % fern spores. Even more marked<br />
is the difference from the contemporancous<br />
coals formed in lowland settings in the USA,<br />
which have mostly > 50 % lycophyte spores.<br />
This evidence suggests that the timing of the<br />
15
decline in abundance of arborescent lycophytes<br />
varied according to elevation above<br />
sea-level. In lowland coastal settings, the lycophytes<br />
remained dominant until middle-late<br />
Cantabrian times, but in more inland areas<br />
they were progressively replaced mainly by<br />
arborescent ferns during late Westphalian<br />
times.<br />

Mudstones above coals in the eastern part<br />
of the South Wales Coalfield have yielded<br />
diverse and well-preserved palynofloras. They<br />
indicate that the Llantwit No. 1 and No. 2<br />
seams are Stephanian in age, and thus correlate<br />
with the Household Coals Member in the<br />
Forest of Dean. Until the formation of the<br />
highest coal seam in the succession (No. 1<br />
Llantwit Seam), conditions were progressively<br />
becoming wetter, as indicated by an increase<br />
in abundance of lycophytes and a decline in<br />
the cordaites. However, after the formation of<br />
this stratigraphically highest coal, the lycophytes<br />
declined significantly, indicating that<br />
conditions suddenly became drier, perhaps as<br />
a result Of uplift of the area as the Variscan<br />
Front to the south steadily pressed forward.<br />

Early Devonian miospore assemblages from<br />
'La Gileppe' (Eastern Belgium) include five<br />
varieties of trilete spore belonging to the genus<br />
Emphanisporites. These five varieties<br />
show a continuous variation of their morphological<br />
characteristics. The variation in morphological<br />
characteristics can be related to the<br />
evolution of morphological features and allows<br />
us to define the Emphanisporites micromatus<br />
Morphon. A statistical evaluation of<br />
this population highlights the interdependence<br />
of almost all morphological parameters. This<br />
study proves the increase in size of ornamental<br />
and structural parameters over several million<br />
years. The biometric changes and the progressive<br />
replacement of older morphotypes by<br />
younger ones indicate that a temporal link exists<br />
between these different varieties. Two<br />
phylogenetic hypotheses for the E. micromatus<br />
Morphon are proposed. This morphological<br />
evolution is so far observed only on<br />
the Eastern Old Red Sandstone Continent and<br />
defines a palaeophytogeographic sinuosuszavallatus<br />
Province.<br />

Dinoflagellate cysts and other palynomorphs<br />
from the Pliocene Kattendijk and Lillo<br />
formations, exposed in two temporary outcrops<br />
in northern Belgium, provide new information<br />
on the biostratigraphic position and<br />
sequence stratigraphic interpretation of these<br />
units. Dinoflagellate cysts from the Kattendijk<br />
Formation indicate an age between about 5.0<br />
Ma and 4.7-4.4 Ma (early Early Pliocene) in<br />
our sections, confirming a correlation with<br />
standard sequence 3.4 and implying a slightly<br />
greater age than the Ramsholt Member of the<br />
Coralline Crag Formation of eastern England.<br />
The unconformity at the base of the Kattendijk<br />
Formation was not seen, but presumably correlates<br />
with sequence boundary Me2 at 5.73<br />
Ma. The overlying Lillo Formation is late<br />
Early Pliocene or early Late Pliocene (c. 4.2-<br />
2.6 Ma) in age, and the unconformity at its<br />
base may be correlated with sequence boundary<br />
Za2 at 4.04 Ma or Pial at 3.21 Ma. The<br />
Oorderen Sands and superjacent Kruisschans<br />
Sands members (Lillo Formation) are both<br />
part of the same depositional cycle. They were<br />
probably deposited before 2.74 Ma, and certainly<br />
before the onset of Northern Hemisphere<br />
cooling at c. 2.6 Ma. Evidence from<br />
dinoflagellate cysts indicates that both a shelly<br />
unit at the base of the Lillo Formation and the<br />
lower part of the overlying Oorderen Sands<br />
were deposited during a conspicuously cool<br />
climatic phase, with warmer temperatures returning<br />
during later deposition of the Oorderen<br />
Sands and Kruisschans Sands members.<br />
Many dinoflagellate cyst and acritarch species<br />
are reported here for the first time from the<br />
southern North Sea Basin. Selenopemphix<br />

Precambrian Research, 2009, 162(3-4): 498-<br />
530<br />
The remarkable diversification of singlecelled<br />
photosynthesising biota of algal and<br />
other as yet unknown affinities (acritarchs),<br />
followed by the diversification of metazoans,<br />
occurred during the Ediacaran Period, which<br />
is marked by extreme climatic and environmental<br />
changes. Here we describe a taxonomically<br />
diverse acritarch association from<br />
the Ediacaran part of the Giles 1 drillcore in<br />
the Officer Basin, South Australia, which<br />
documents further the Ediacaran phytoplankton<br />
radiation. The studied palynoflora comprises<br />
21 known acritarch species belonging to<br />
15 genera. One new monospecific genus is<br />
described (Calyxia xandaros sp. nov.) as well<br />
as one new species of Tanarium (Tanarium<br />
anozos sp. nov.). We also propose the genus<br />
Knollisphaeridium to replace the preoccupied<br />
genus Echinosphaeridium. Three stratigraphically<br />
successive assemblages that match previously<br />
observed patterns of acritarch replacement<br />
are distinguished. The present record<br />
is from slightly older strata than in previous<br />
records, thus extending the ranges of certain<br />
acanthomorphic species. The lower<br />
boundaries of three stratigraphically higher<br />
assemblage zones among the four formerly<br />
established zones, are identified by the occurrence<br />
of the index species Tanarium conoideum,<br />
Tanarium irregulare and Apodastoides<br />
verobturatus, respectively. The substantial<br />
morphological disparity of acritarchs in<br />
the Giles 1 succession suggests that they may<br />
represent a great diversity of microorganisms,<br />
not only as biological species but also representing<br />
perhaps vegetative and encysted stages<br />
in their life cycle. The reconstructed palaeogeographic<br />
distribution of several species between<br />
Australia, Siberia, Baltica (the East<br />
European Platform), and to South China,<br />
shows that acritarchs are suitable for both intra-<br />
and inter-regional correlation.<br />

The records of biotic and biogeochemical<br />
events around the Proterozoic-Cambrian transition<br />
are well preserved in sedimentary rock<br />
successions in Iberia. Until recently, sparsely<br />
fossiliferous siliciclastic and carbonate successions<br />
in central Spain were believed to be<br />
largely Proterozoic in age and to have suffered<br />
late Cadomian deformation. Small shelly fossils<br />
identified as Anabarella sp. cf. A. plana<br />
are here reported from south-central Spain and<br />
are consistent with broadly Nemakit-<br />
Daldynian to Tommotian, early Cambrian age.<br />
At a location in southwestern Spain, siliciclastics<br />
that yield Platysolenites antiquissimus in<br />
association with an unidentified trilobite are<br />
interpreted to be coeval with the upper stratigraphic<br />
record of P. antiquissimus in Baltica.<br />
Both fossil occurrences are nearly timeequivalent<br />
to Tommotian-age rocks in North<br />
Iberia that yield ichnofossils and acritarchs.<br />
These beds unconformably overlie Neoproterozoic<br />
turbidites deformed by late Cadomian<br />
folding. Small shelly fossil (SSF) faunas in<br />
central Iberia (Spain) have "Acado-Baltic" and<br />
"Gondwanan" affinities, and their presently<br />
known distribution supplements previous palaeogeographic<br />
reconstructions that imply<br />
near contemporaneity with broadly Tommotian-age<br />
faunas from medium to low latitude<br />
shelf settings in Iberia, Siberia, Avalonia, Armorica,<br />
southern China, Iran, India and Australia.<br />
The new biostratigraphic data allow<br />
clarification of the magnitude of the sub-<br />
Tommotian unconformity in parts of Iberia<br />
and set firm minimum age constraints for the<br />
terminal Cadomian Phase of the Pan-African<br />
orogeny in Iberia.<br />

The analysis of sediments and pollen from<br />

(Pas-de-Calais, France) has allowed the<br />
reconstruction of local and regional vegetation<br />
history from the late Preboreal to the Subatlantic.<br />
Hydrological changes induced vegetation<br />
changes, with freshwater marshy vegetation<br />
dominating during fluvial episodes, and<br />
halophilous grasslands, typical of shore areas,<br />
dominating during episodes of salt water input<br />
(five marine episodes, so-called St-Omer I to<br />
St-Omer V). Pollen markers indicative of human<br />
presence and agricultural activities, along<br />
with contemporaneous signals of forest disturbance,<br />
are recorded from ca 4000 cal BP onwards.<br />

Normandien Formation of the northeastern<br />
Karoo Basin, provides evidence for a community<br />
of diverse vascular plants occupying riparian<br />
woodland. The depositional environment<br />
is interpreted as an abandoned trunk<br />
channel that preserved a megaflora in slackwater<br />
phases punctuated by overbank deposits<br />
from rare flood events. Of 9772 plant specimens<br />
tabulated from an unbiased census of all<br />
fragments greater than ~ 1 cm 2 , there are 51<br />
distinct organ morphotypes, including glossopterids,<br />
sphenopsids, and ferns, collectively<br />
represented as foliage, axes, fructifications,<br />
and dispersed seeds. Of the 11 most abundant<br />
morphotypes 10 are glossopterid morphotypes<br />
or variant subtypes, in addition to a sphenopsid.<br />
Glossopterid morphotype dominance also<br />
is reflected in the palynoflora. Palynological<br />
data indicate a Wuchiapingian age for the locality.<br />
A specimen of the dicynodont ‘Oudenodon,’<br />
found in a nearby stratigraphically<br />
equivalent outcrop, is attributable to the Dicynodon<br />
Assemblage Zone, assigned a<br />
younger Changhsingian age. A rich record of<br />
plant–insect associations demonstrates an elevated<br />
frequency of external foliage feeding by<br />
mandibulate insects and lower incidence of<br />
oviposition by palaeodictyopteroid and odonatopteroid<br />
taxa. Evidence for piercing-andsucking<br />
and galling is rare. The most abundant<br />
plant taxon (glossopterid Morphotype C2a) is<br />
the most intensively herbivorized, overwhelmingly<br />
by external feeding and ovipositing insects.<br />
Insect damage on this host is beyond<br />
that predicted by floristic abundance alone.<br />
This specificity, and high herbivory levels on<br />
other glossopterid taxa, demonstrates extension<br />
of the Euramerican pattern toward the<br />
preferential targeting of pteridosperms. The<br />
Clouston Farm site provides a glimpse into a<br />
late Permian ecosystem of primary producers,<br />
herbivores, and insectivores—a prelude to the<br />
crisis that engulfed life at the end of the period.<br />

The extant regional vegetation of Panotla,<br />
Tlaxcala, Mexico, is the result of its geography,<br />
mainly due to the buildup of the Mexican<br />
Trans-volcanic Belt. Before this volcanic belt<br />
originated, palaeobotanical evidence suggests<br />
that topographic, palaeoclimatic and ecological<br />
conditions were different, allowing the<br />
establishment of an evergreen tropical forest<br />
represented by plants similar to Terminalia,<br />
Cedrela and cf. Hypodaphnys, which together<br />
suggest the presence of a warm–humid (tropical)<br />
climate in a region not higher than<br />
900 masl. In contrast, today Panotla is located<br />
at an altitude that varies from 2100 to<br />
2300 masl, has a temperate sub-humid climate,<br />
with annual precipitation of 1650 mm, maximum<br />
annual temperature of 24.3 °C, and its<br />
vegetation is composed of a white pine (Pinus<br />
pseudostrobus Lindol.), oak (Quercus spp.)<br />
and white cedar (Cupressus benthamii Endl.).<br />
Geological and palaeobiological evidence<br />
suggests an active volcanic and tectonic scenario<br />
that influenced plant evolution by shifting<br />
climatic conditions from high temperaturehumid<br />
to high temperature-dry, selecting the<br />
plant communities in the region through time,<br />
supporting the change from a tropical rain forest<br />
to a xeric vegetation.<br />

analyses. ( 英 文 ). Doyle J A. Review of Palaeobotany<br />
and Palynology, 2009, 156(1-2):<br />
198-210 1 图 版 .<br />
In 1973 Van Campo and Lugardon recognized<br />
granular structure as a third major type<br />
of exine structure in seed plants, in addition to<br />
columellar (restricted to angiosperms) and<br />
alveolar (restricted to other seed plants, such<br />
as cycads and saccate conifers). Because they<br />
found granular structure both in other seed<br />
plants (non-saccate conifers, Gnetales) and in<br />
angiosperms (some Magnoliales, monocots,<br />
and “Amentiferae”), they suggested it might<br />
be ancestral in angiosperms. This suggestion<br />
was elaborated by other workers and supported<br />
by studies of Le Thomas and Lugardon<br />
on Annonaceae (Magnoliales), which appeared<br />
to show origin of columellae by various<br />
modifications of granules. Phylogenetic<br />
(cladistic) analyses of seed plants based on<br />
morphological and molecular data modify this<br />
scheme considerably but reaffirm the systematic<br />
interest of granular structure. In conifers<br />
and Gnetales (which probably form a clade),<br />
granular structure appears to be derived from<br />
alveolar (as in Pinaceae, Podocarpaceae and<br />
extinct outgroups of conifers). Molecular<br />
analyses root the phylogenetic tree of angiosperms<br />
among Amborella, Nymphaeales, and<br />
Austrobaileyales, which have columellar and<br />
related exine structures, implying that granular<br />
exines were derived within angiosperms. This<br />
contradicts earlier views that granular structure<br />
provides evidence for a relationship between<br />
angiosperms and outgroups such as<br />
Gnetales and Bennettitales. Phylogenetic<br />
analyses indicate that granular structure was<br />
derived from columellar within Magnoliales<br />
and Laurales, in each of which it is an important<br />
synapomorphy of a major subgroup; the<br />
same may also be true for Fagales. However,<br />
phylogenetic analyses of Annonaceae confirm<br />
that granular structure is ancestral in this<br />
group and columellar is derived, essentially as<br />
a reversal to the ancestral state in angiosperms.<br />
In Fagales granular structure is associated<br />
with wind pollination, but not in Magnoliales<br />
and Laurales; however, in all three cases it<br />
may be correlated with reduction in exine<br />
thickness.<br />

is a low-diversity herbaceous and subarborescent<br />
assemblage dominated by small ferns and<br />

taller than about 1–1.5 m. This unique herbaceous<br />
assemblage comprises four fern species<br />
(Kidstonia heracleensis, Dendraena pinnatilobata,<br />
Desmopteris alethopteroides and<br />
Sphenopteris cirrhifolia), Calamites sp. and<br />
the small lycopsid Spencerites leismanii. Each<br />
species bears mature fertile organs with spores<br />
that indicate them to represent small but fully<br />
mature plants and not juvenile arborescent<br />

pioneer phytocoenosis that colonised a shallowed<br />

The precursory mire of the Middle Pennsylvanian<br />

was buried in situ by volcanic ash, preserving<br />
the taxonomic composition, spatial distribution,<br />
vertical stratification, and synecology of<br />
this peat-forming ecosystem in extraordinary<br />
detail. Plant fossil remains represent the preeruption<br />
vegetation of the swamp, which resulted<br />
from accumulation of peat in a high-ash,<br />
planar (rheotrophic) mire situated in a narrow<br />
palaeovalley containing an active fluvial system.<br />
A tuff bed (the Bělka) at the base of the<br />
volcaniclastic Whetstone Horizon was exposed<br />
in two contiguous excavations over an<br />
area of 50 m 2 in the Radnice Basin of western<br />
Bohemia, Czech Republic. Twenty-seven<br />
morphotaxa were identified, representing 20<br />
whole-plant species with a wide variety of<br />
growth forms. The canopy of the peat-forming<br />
community was dominated by Cordaites<br />
borassifolius trees together with the arborescent<br />
lycopsid “Lepidodendron” (= Paralycopodites),<br />
whereas Lepidophloios cf. acerosus<br />
was subdominant. Evidence suggests that the<br />
laterally extensive “crowns” of these arborescent<br />
lycopsids would have overlapped during<br />
the final phase of their life cycles, but differences<br />
in the height of tree species resulted in a<br />
complex and vertically variable canopy interrupted<br />
by randomly distributed gaps. The understorey<br />
was dominated by medullosan pteridosperms<br />
and marattialean tree ferns, whereas<br />
zygopterid ferns and sphenophylls comprised<br />
the bulk of the ground cover. In comparison<br />
with the canopy, understorey and ground<br />
cover species were less abundant and patchier<br />
in distribution, with almost complete absence<br />
beneath the deep shade of C. borassifolius<br />
trees. Lianas that entwined arborescent trees<br />
were an important component of the peatforming<br />
forest. Three lyginopterid pteridosperm<br />
species along with a sphenophyll had<br />
a lianescent habit based on their close association<br />
with upright or prone lycopsid trunks and<br />
“canopy” branches. Species richness in the<br />
swamp superficially appears low. However,<br />
considering the small area of excavation,<br />
along with the higher diversity known from<br />
the same tuff bed in the adjacent, former<br />
opencast Ovčín Mine, it appears that species<br />
richness in the forest was comparable to some<br />
of the less diverse Westphalian peat-forming<br />
swamps in the U.S.A. The Lower Radnice<br />
mire vegetation was compositionally homogeneous,<br />
but had a heterogeneous distribution<br />
with patchiness occurring at a very fine scale.<br />
The preserved plant assemblage most resembles<br />
mires dominated by medullosan pteridosperms<br />
and Paralycopodites described from<br />
upper Westphalian coal balls in the U.S.A.,<br />
which were characterised by high diversity in<br />
all storeys and involved plants centred in highash<br />
peat-forming swamps.<br />

Late Stephanian and Early Permian floras<br />
were collected in eight localities of the Boskovice<br />
Basin. More than 2700 specimens were<br />
studied. The Carboniferous wet-type flora<br />
(Rosice–Oslavany Formation) is relatively<br />
hygrophilous with a dominance of ferns (Pecopteris<br />
cyathea and P. densifolia) and a<br />
smaller representation of sphenopsids (Annularia<br />
sphenophylloides). Pteridosperms and<br />
cordaitaleans are rare. Conifers (Ernestiodendron<br />
filiciforme), as drier-type elements, occur<br />
locally above the 1st (uppermost) coal seam of<br />
the Rosice–Oslavany coals together with<br />
many representatives of pteridosperms (medullosans,<br />
Odontopteris schlotheimii). This<br />
indicates the beginning of seasonality and<br />
aridisation of the climate. The Permian flora is<br />
dominated by conifers and is of an arid character.<br />
Some horizons contain a relatively high<br />
proportion of pteridosperms (Zbýšov, Říčany<br />
and Zboněk–Svitávka horizons), however, the<br />
species spectrum differs and the Permian pteridosperms<br />
are mainly represented by peltasperms<br />
(Autunia conferta). Ferns and sphenopsids<br />
are extremely rare in the Permian horizons.<br />
The flora reflects changes in the basin<br />
from relatively wet climate in the Rosice–<br />
Oslavany Formation to the seasonal and “dry”<br />
climate during the Permian. The Permian extrabasinal<br />
floral elements preserved in fossiliferous<br />
horizons grew in the basin during<br />
the seasonal climate. The red sediments outside<br />
the fossiliferous horizons are barren, presumably<br />
reflecting a semi-arid climate. The<br />
seasonality and “less” or “more” dry periods<br />
during the Permian are documented changes<br />
in diversity and dominance of the flora, and by<br />
cluster analysis. Using unconstrained Jaccard's<br />
analysis, the Carboniferous “wet-type” flora is<br />
clearly separated from the “dry-type” Permian<br />
flora. Even though the Chudčice Horizon is<br />
approximately in the middle of the section, it<br />
is placed in this analysis at the top of the dendrogram<br />
together with the “dry-type” floral<br />
clusters. This analysis reflects an aridisation<br />
trend rather than biostratigraphically determined<br />
changes.<br />
As a result of our excavations, 15 species<br />
are here for the first time reported from the<br />
Boskovice Basin: Pecopteris cf. bredovii, Remia<br />

A remarkable fossil assemblage—fifteen ‘in<br />
situ’ stumps standing at their original position—was<br />
explored at the opencast lignite<br />
mine at Bükkábrány, N Hungary. The stumps<br />
occupying an area of about 50 × 100 m have<br />
been preserved in Upper Miocene grey sands<br />
overlying the lignite seam. The height of the<br />
trunks ranges from 2 up to 5.2 m, their perimeter<br />
at the base reaches up to 8.8 m. The<br />
age of the fossil remains is estimated to about<br />
7 Ma according to the regional stratigraphy.<br />
The fossil forest is the remains of a swamp<br />
forest which is also corroborated by the palaeogeography<br />
of the fossil site as the area of<br />
the former Lake Pannon. Fossil leaf and fruit<br />
assemblages indicating the typical swamp<br />
vegetation in the close vicinity of Lake Pannon<br />
have already been reported from the site.<br />
Wood anatomy of some of the stumps is diagnostic<br />
for Taxodioxylon germanicum (Greguss)<br />
Van der Burgh which is related to modern Sequoia<br />
Endlicher and was an important element<br />
of peat forming vegetation during the Neogene.<br />
Some other stumps are comparable to<br />
Glyptostroboxylon Conwentz emend.<br />
Dolezych & Van der Burgh. The organic rich<br />
sediments underlying and embedding the<br />
stumps provided a high abundance of<br />

The Bulgarian Palaeogene flora reveals important<br />
information concerning floristic transformation<br />
and climatic change in southeastern<br />
Europe. After the Eocene/Oligocene transition,<br />
an invasion of arctotertiary floristic elements<br />
took place in the European vegetation. This<br />
climatically forced, gradual change from a<br />
palaeotropical to an arctotertiary type of vegetation<br />
is well reflected in the Bulgarian floras.<br />
In the present paper, we analyze 12 palaeoflo-<br />
23
as covering the time span from the late Eocene<br />
to the early Miocene from a palaeoecological<br />
and palaeoeclimatic viewpoint.<br />
The vegetation change in the Palaeogene was<br />
triggered by both global climatic evolution<br />
and regional patterns generated by a changing<br />
palaeogeography. The signals from both processes<br />
are obviously overlapping and in some<br />
cases make it impossible to separate their imprints.<br />
Hygromesophytic forests without arctotertiary<br />
floristic elements still played the major<br />
role in the zonal vegetation in the late Eocene.<br />
No significant change in vegetation cover at<br />
the Eocene/Oligocene transition is apparent,<br />
and hygrophytic to hygromesophytic palaeocoenoses<br />
and oak-laurel forests dominated the<br />
palaeovegetation. Mesophytic to mesoxerophytic<br />
communities became important in the<br />
early Oligocene, along with the decrease of<br />
hydrophytic to hygromesophytic formations.<br />
A similar picture is obtained for the late Oligocene,<br />
but deciduous arctotertiary elements<br />
then reached a higher proportion for the first<br />
time. The climatic evolution is more or less<br />
consistent with the observed vegetation<br />
changes. Warm-temperate conditions persisted<br />
throughout this time span, but they show a<br />
cooling trend in the late Oligocene, most<br />
probably an imprint of global climatic cooling<br />
at that time. With respect to changing palaeogeographical<br />
patterns, the regressive trend<br />
during the early Oligocene is contemporaneous<br />
with a slight decrease in annual precipitation.<br />
Xerophytic phytocoenoses are reported<br />
from most of the sites, but climatic data supporting<br />
the existence of such associations are<br />
reconstructed only for the Bourgas and<br />
Borovets floras. In all the other floras, the majority<br />
of taxa indicate that no really dry season<br />
existed.<br />

Lavas and sedimentary rocks of the Palaeogene<br />
Staffa Formation are exposed in the<br />
south-west of the Island of Mull in the Inner<br />
Hebrides, Scotland. Here, we present the results<br />
of an extensive programme of analysis of<br />
palynofloras from intravolcanic sedimentary<br />
rocks across this, the oldest part of the Mull<br />
Lava Field. This analysis has been allied to<br />
field and aerial photograph mapping, which<br />
have provided evidence that the earliest flows<br />
and sediments of the Staffa Formation were<br />
emplaced into two NW–SE trending fault controlled<br />
valleys. This extensional structural regime<br />
was also utilised by the NW–SE trending<br />
Mull dyke swarm. Early syn-depositional<br />
movement on graben margin faults is indicated<br />
by anomalously thick alluvial sediments,<br />
and ponded lava flows on the downthrown<br />
sides. Sedimentary and palynofacies data indicate<br />
an overall southeasterly drainage direction<br />
for the Staffa Formation paleo-valley system,<br />
the palynofloras reflecting this in increased<br />
dominance of mire vegetation communities,<br />
in the wetter, lower reaches of the<br />
catchment. The palynofloras are subdivided<br />
into four ecological groupings. Mid to late<br />
succession communities dominate the two<br />
youngest depositional sequences of the lava<br />
field, reflecting the filling of the valley structures,<br />
and the development of an increasingly<br />
stable environment. The youngest surface includes<br />
the renowned Ardtun Leaf Beds, which<br />
are shown to be atypical of much of the Staffa<br />
Formation flora, being located on a graben<br />
margin alluvial fan. This youngest surface also<br />
provides evidence for the subsequent inversion<br />
of the original graben structure across the<br />
south of the area, while active eruption continued<br />
in the north. Inversion is attributed to<br />
the emplacement of the oldest members of the<br />
nearby Mull Central Complex, and heralds the<br />
eruption of the trap-forming Plateau Group<br />
lavas.<br />

We used a modelling approach to assess<br />
past landscape openness in mid-Holocene<br />
natural vegetation. Two simple landscape scenarios<br />
were modelled: a first landscape was<br />
based on the “Vera cycle” hypothesis for<br />
western Europe, including different phases of<br />
herbivore-induced vegetation change and regeneration,<br />
while a second landscape was created<br />
based on views how a mid-Holocene<br />
natural vegetation may have looked like on the<br />
24
Swiss Plateau according to the closed canopy<br />
theory. These simulated landscapes were used<br />
to produce pollen assemblages by means of a<br />
pollen dispersal and deposition model. The<br />
resulting modelled pollen assemblages were<br />
then compared to a typical mid-Holocene pollen<br />
record from the Swiss Plateau. Our results<br />
indicated that the mid-Holocene pollen record<br />
is likely to be the result of a closed beech forest.<br />
However, the vegetation cover on the<br />
Swiss Plateau had components from both the<br />
closed woodland and the wood pasture landscape<br />
designs, with the latter likely at frequently<br />
disturbed or naturally open habitats.<br />

taxa are Betulaceae, Aceraceae, Ulmaceae,<br />
and Wataria. Except Wataria of which the<br />
habitat preference has not been confirmed,<br />
these taxa are major elements of cooltemperate<br />
vegetation and are similar to the<br />
Aniai-type flora of Japan. Previous studies of<br />
fossil plants from the Geumgwangdong Shale<br />

that the climate of the Pohang Basin changed<br />
from cool-temperate to warm-temperate and<br />
subtropical during the Miocene.<br />

再 评 植 物 驯 化 , 从 达 尔 文 时 代 至 今 = Domestication<br />

Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 161(3):<br />
203-212<br />
Darwin studied domesticated plants and<br />
animals to try to understand the causes of<br />
variability. He observed that variation is<br />
greatest in the part of the plant most used by<br />
humans, but explanations of the causes of this<br />
variation had to await the discovery of Mendelian<br />
genetics and subsequent advances in the<br />
understanding of the structure and mode of<br />
action of genes, from the one gene, one enzyme<br />
hypothesis to the role of transcriptional<br />
regulators. Darwin credited his studies on domesticated<br />
plants and animals with demonstrating<br />
to him the power of selection. He recognized<br />
two forms of human-mediated selection,<br />
methodical and unconscious, in addition<br />
to natural selection. Selection leaves a signature<br />
in the form of reduced diversity in genes<br />
that have been the targets of selection and in<br />
'hitch-hiking' genomic regions linked to the<br />
target genes. These so-called selective sweeps<br />
may serve now to identify genes targeted by<br />
selection in early stages of domestication and<br />
thus provide a possible guide to crop improvement<br />
in future. (C) 2009 The Linnean<br />

达 尔 文 与 岛 生 植 物 = Darwin on island plants.<br />
( 英 文 ). Carlquist S. Botanical Journal of the<br />
Linnean Society, 2009, 161(1): 20-25<br />
Islands played a key role in Charles Darwin's<br />
observations and experiments on plant<br />
dispersal. By means of these experiments, he<br />
expunged the old idea that a given species<br />
could originate at multiple times and in multiple<br />
places. More importantly, by seeing the<br />
capabilities for dispersal of plant seeds, fruits<br />
and branches, he was able to develop ideas of<br />
how plants reach islands and thus he is one of<br />
the founders of plant biogeography. For facts<br />
regarding floristic distribution of plants, Darwin<br />
relied on other workers, most notably Sir<br />
Joseph Dalton Hooker. Among his insights<br />
were the differences between oceanic and continental<br />
islands on a floristic basis, ideas on<br />
how age of island and distance from mainland<br />
areas influenced composition of island floras,<br />
the nature of endemism on islands and the role<br />
islands and archipelagos served as stepping<br />
stones in dispersal. Ingenious at proposing<br />
hypotheses, but always respectful of facts,<br />
Darwin sought explanations for plant adaptations<br />
on islands at a time when knowledge of<br />
island botany was little more than floristic in<br />
nature. These explanations are compared with<br />
selected recent works in island botany. (C)<br />

An infilled hollow at Wester Cartmore in<br />
Fife has yielded 2.30 m of deposits which<br />
have been analysed palynologically and sedimentologically.<br />
The construction of an agedepth<br />
model is compromised by radiocarbon<br />
dating problems, but the high resolution record<br />
permits an assessment of the site within<br />
the palaeovegetational context of east-central<br />
Scotland. It has been possible to refer the deposits<br />
to the Devensian Lateglacial (cf. GS-2<br />
to GS-1) and early Holocene periods, albeit<br />
with caution given the confusion surrounding<br />
the stratigraphical and chronological terminology<br />
for the period. A number of revertence<br />
phases are recognisable in the pollen record<br />
and these fit test criteria for robustness as well<br />
as being detectable in ordination, rarefaction<br />
and, partly, preservation analyses. For eastcentral<br />
Scotland, apart from the ubiquitous<br />
Poaceae and Cyperaceae pollen, Juniperus is<br />
especially typical of warmer interludes,<br />
whereas Salix and Artemisia characterise the<br />
GS-1 (cf. Younger Dryas) event.<br />

Two exposures in Jylland, Denmark, encompassing<br />
beds of latest Oligocene to earliest<br />
Miocene age (latest Chattian–early Aquitanian)<br />
yielded well-preserved palynofloras.<br />
The assemblages indicate that Jylland was<br />
covered by extensive Taxodiaceae swamp forests<br />
in the mid-Cenozoic. Besides a Taxodiaceae–Cupressaceae<br />
association, which was<br />
overwhelmingly dominant, other common<br />
plants in this habitat were Alnus, Nyssa,<br />
Betula, Salix, Cyrilla and Myrica. Most of the<br />
trees and shrubs are well adapted to swamps<br />
and thrive under more or less flooded conditions<br />
in modern bald cypress swamps of the<br />
southeastern North America. Vegetation composition<br />
indicates that a warm–temperate climate<br />
prevailed in Denmark during the Oligocene–Miocene<br />
transition. According to calculations<br />
using the Coexistence Approach, the<br />
mean annual temperature during this time<br />
span ranged from 15.6 to 16.6 °C. An increase<br />
to 16.5–21.1 °C is inferred from the palynoflora<br />
in the upper part of the section. The<br />
earlier, cooler period possibly reflects global<br />
cooling associated with the Mi-1 glaciation<br />
event at the Oligocene–Miocene boundary. No<br />
data from the very coldest part of the Mi-1<br />
event has been recorded, as this is represented<br />
by a gravel layer (representing a hiatus) in the<br />
lowermost part of the studied succession. The<br />
length of the missing time is not known precisely,<br />
but is probably in the order of some<br />
hundred thousand years. Correlation with the<br />
well-established chronostratigraphic and sequence<br />
stratigraphic framework for the studied<br />
succession reveals that the most distinctive<br />
change in palynoflora probably reflects a shift<br />
in depositional facies (due to an increase in<br />
sea level) rather than direct climatic change.<br />
The sea-level rise is herein interpreted to be<br />
eustatic and related to melting of Antarctic ice<br />
caps at the end of the Mi-1 glaciation event.<br />

Fossil floras from three exposures of the<br />
Emma Fiord Formation from Ellesmere Island,<br />
Axel Heiberg Island, and Devon Island in the<br />
Canadian Arctic Archipelago fill a gap in our<br />
knowledge of the regional distribution of<br />
Viséan age plant assemblages. Plant fossils<br />
occur as compressions in two lithologies, calcareous<br />
shale and black shale, representing<br />
two different lacustrine depositional environments<br />
within a broader system of rift lakes<br />
that developed prior to the beginning of widespread<br />
Sverdrup Basin sedimentation. Calcareous<br />
shales from the Grinnell Peninsula of<br />
Devon Island preserve an in situ forest dominated<br />
by articulated arborescent lycopsid<br />
compression fossils similar to Lepidodendron<br />
26
veltheimii, while black shales from the Kleybolte<br />
Peninsula of Ellesmere Island and the<br />
Svartevaeg Cliffs of Axel Heiberg Island preserve<br />
a more diverse assemblage consisting of<br />
fragmentary lycopsid compressions and disarticulated<br />
foliage taxa similar to species of<br />
Rhodea, Aneimites, and Fryopsis. The Emma<br />
Fiord macroflora is comparable to those found<br />
in similar tectonic and sedimentary settings in<br />
Alaska, Greenland, and Spitsbergen. These<br />
assemblages are not as diverse as contemporaneous<br />

P; Tinner W. Review of Palaeobotany and<br />
Palynology, 2010, 160(3-4): 32-45<br />
Until recently, pollen-stratigraphic research<br />
in the Northern Apennines (Northern Italy)<br />
provided only generalized pollen diagrams<br />
that lacked reliable chronologies, and few records<br />
provided complete and detailed postglacial<br />
sequences equipped with radiocarbon<br />
dates. We present a new Late-Glacial and<br />
Holocene pollen sequence from Pavullo nel<br />
Frignano in the Emilian Apennines (Modena,<br />
Italy). The chronology relies on AMSradiocarbon-dated<br />
samples of terrestrial plant<br />
origin. Our pollen record suggests that open<br />
Late-Glacial Pinus and Juniperus dominated<br />
woodlands were established at the site before<br />
14,000 cal. BP. Thermophilous trees such as<br />
Quercus, Ulmus, and Tilia as well as Abies<br />
alba expanded already during the Late-Glacial<br />
(ca. 14,000–13,000 cal. BP), but did not form<br />
closed forests. After climate cooling of the<br />
Younger Dryas A. alba re-expanded at the<br />
onset of the Holocene at ca. 11,500 cal. BP<br />
and remained the dominant species until at ca.<br />
6000–5500 cal. BP. The decline of A. alba<br />
was associated with a marked opening of forests,<br />
and the expansion of deciduous trees<br />
such as Fagus and Quercus. Vegetational<br />
composition did not change substantially during<br />
the past 5000 years, and cultivated tree<br />
taxa such as Juglans and Castanea played<br />
only a transient or marginal role. Although the<br />
vegetation history of Pavullo is consistent<br />
with previous investigations in the study area,<br />
comparison is hampered by the absence of<br />
other records from the same vegetational (colline)<br />
belt. Our pollen-inferred human-impact<br />
history is in agreement with archaeological<br />
evidence. In addition, our results suggest a<br />
rather close link between vegetational change<br />
in the Northern Apennines and the Southern<br />
Alps. Common features between these two<br />
climatically-similar regions are the initial expansion<br />
of thermophilous trees and Abies alba<br />
at ca. 13,000 cal. BP, the mid-Holocene collapse<br />
of A. alba (probably as a consequence of<br />
human disturbance) as well as the subsequent<br />
expansions of Quercus and Fagus.<br />

the southern Loess Plateau in the Weihe River<br />
valley in China. ( 英 文 ). Shang X; Li X. Review<br />
of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2010,<br />
160(3-4): 46-52<br />
The Loess Plateau has a varied topography<br />
that creates a mosaic of hydrological and soil<br />
microclimatic conditions, and the study of its<br />
vegetation characteristics has been controversial.<br />
Two loess–palaeosol sequences of Xindian<br />
and Beizhuangcun were selected at different<br />
topographic units in the Weihe River<br />
valley to reconstruct the vegetation history for<br />
the Holocene period using high-resolution pollen<br />
analysis. Herb plants typically dominated<br />
the Xindian region during the Holocene, and<br />
sparse-wood grasslands became prominent<br />
around 8200–7700 years BP and 5500–<br />
4700 years BP. Forest-grassland covered the<br />
area between 7700 and 5500 years BP.<br />
Sparse-wood grassland dominated the Beizhuangcun<br />
region for most of the Holocene.<br />
This region contained mixed coniferous and<br />
broad-leaved forest dominated by Pinus between<br />
6800 and 5300 years BP. Around 40%<br />
of the arboreal pollen indicates that the forest<br />
was relatively open with some grasses and<br />
shrubs. Therefore, the sparse-wood grasslands<br />
and grasslands were the dominant vegetation<br />
types in the Weihe River valley, which has the<br />
best hydrothermal conditions on the southern<br />
margin of the Loess Plateau. The forest in the<br />
Weihe valley only became extensively developed<br />
in the Holocene Optimum. Topographic<br />
units, terrain composition and loess thickness<br />
are the important factors controlling the development<br />
of this arboreal vegetation, along<br />
with temperature and precipitation.<br />

2009, 170(7): 860-868<br />
Evolution of plant form proceeds through<br />
sequential alterations in the development of<br />
plant organs. Leaves (or fronds) are organs<br />
that have diagnostic characteristics, including<br />
definite arrangement on a stem, bilateral<br />
symmetry (abaxial/adaxial identity), and determinate<br />
growth. Evolution of those diagnostic<br />
characteristics represents a series of critical<br />
steps in plant evolution that resulted from specific<br />
developmental alterations. The fossil record<br />
reveals a transformational series in leaf<br />
evolution that highlights steps that have occurred<br />
in parallel but independently in both<br />
leptosporangiate ferns and seed plants, resulting<br />
in superficially similar frond morphologies.<br />
In this study, the fronds of the most ancient<br />
fossil fern, Psalixochlaena antiqua, and the<br />
most ancient reconstructed seed plant, Elkinsia<br />
polymorpha, are characterized and compared<br />
with leaves of modern plants in order to<br />
identify the sequence in which features of<br />
leaves in two distinct clades of euphyllophytes<br />
arose. While both fronds show a combination<br />
of characters attributable to ancestral vegetative<br />
axes and characters attributable to leaves,<br />
each plant displays different combinations of<br />
those characters. These data document dissimilar<br />
sequences of character originations<br />
and, therefore, the independent evolution of<br />
developmental mechanisms in seed plants and<br />
ferns<br />

Climatic changes in the western and central<br />
regions of Russian Eurasia in the Paleocene<br />
and in the first half of the Eocene were caused<br />
by the dynamics and rearrangement of the systems<br />
of marine seaways: the longitudinal one,<br />
which connected the Arctic Basin with marginal<br />
seas of the Northern Peri-Tethys, and the<br />
latitudinal one, which connected the latter seas<br />
with the Atlantic. As these systems were progressively<br />
reduced, the climate in the middle<br />
latitudes changed from paratropical to a subtropical<br />
monsoon climate with a moist summer,<br />
and later to a climate with a moist winter,<br />
and, in the Late Eocene, to a humid climate<br />
without any marked seasonal variation in precipitation.<br />
The type of flora changed in<br />
agreement with these changes. In the Paleogene,<br />
cold currents constantly influenced the<br />
climate of the Northwestern Pacific rim and<br />
facilitated the development of a warmtemperate<br />
mesophilic flora.<br />

The Grünbach flora from the Grünbach<br />
Formation of the Grünbach-Neue Welt Basin,<br />
Austria, is dated to the Early Campanian on<br />
the basis of foraminifers found in this formation<br />
and marine fossils serving as stratigraphic<br />
markers in the underlying (Maiersdorf Formation)<br />
and overlying (Piesting Formation) deposits.<br />
The Grünbach flora enumerates 53<br />
species assigned to the Equisetopsida (1 species),<br />
Polypodiopsida (11 species), Cycadopsida<br />
(1 species), Pinopsida (4 species), Liliopsida<br />
(6 species), and Magnoliopsida (30 species).<br />
These plants constituted several plant<br />
communities, among which the following are<br />
more or less reliably defined: aquatic,<br />
swamp/semiaquatic, juglandaceous and palm<br />
wetland forest, riparian, and mesophytic forest.<br />
The Grünbach flora grew in a humid subtropical<br />

A historic collection of plant fossils from<br />
the Baga Formation, Bornholm, Denmark registered<br />
at the Lund University is reviewed and<br />
found to be dominated by ferns with subsidiary<br />
Ginkgoales, Coniferales, Bennettitales and<br />
Equisitales. Ten genera are represented, of<br />
which six can be confidently identified to species<br />
level. The Baga Formation flora is most<br />
similar in age to the flora of the Middle Jurassic<br />
Mariedals Formation of Eriksdal, Skane,<br />
although there are important compositional<br />
differences between these assemblages. The<br />
Baga flora is characteristic of the temperate<br />
(warm and humid) biome of the Early-mid<br />
Jurassic. A historical investigation reveals that<br />
at least four scientists contributed material to<br />
the collections. A palynological investigation<br />
made on samples from the leaf fossils reveals<br />
that the macroflora was most probably collected<br />
from the Sorthat beds as the palynoflora<br />
corresponds to the Pliensbachian Chasmatosporites<br />
Zone.<br />

Jurassic plant remains in Western Australia<br />
are sparse but small assemblages of impression<br />
fossils have been deposited in the collections<br />
of the Australian Museum, Sydney, over<br />
the past century. They reveal the presence of <br />
Matoniaceae and Cladophlebis sp. from the<br />
Cockleshell Gully Formation (Toarcian-<br />
Aalenian), Zamites sp. from the Dingo Claystone<br />
(Middle to Upper Jurassic), and Elatocladus<br />
confertus (Oldham & Morris) Halle,<br />
Pagiophyllum amanguanus sp. nov., microsporangiate<br />
cones, Otozamites bengalensis<br />
Oldham & Morris, Otozamites linearis Halle,<br />
Otozamites sp. and Ptilophyllum cutchense<br />
Morris from the Yarragadee Formation (Late<br />
Jurassic). The assemblages show links to eastern<br />
Australian, Indian and Antarctic floras of<br />
Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous age. The<br />
macrofloras generally support previous palynological<br />
dating of the host units, but also indicate<br />
broad (generic-level) similarities between<br />
Jurassic and Early Cretaceous floras<br />
across Gondwana. The macrofloras have no<br />
strong taxonomic or morphological signatures<br />
indicative of either aridity or humidity but the<br />
bennettitaleans have leaves intermediate in<br />
size between low and high latitude mid-<br />
Mesozoic assemblages, which favours previous<br />
palaeogeographic placements of Western<br />
Australia in the mesothermal middle-latitude<br />
province in the Jurassic.<br />

的 一 种 假 说 = Water-borne macroscopic plant<br />
particle transport through central and northern<br />
Europe during warming phases: a hypothetical<br />
spreading mechanism for climatic pioneers.<br />
( 英 文 ). Kolstrup E. GFF, 2007, 129(4): 307-<br />
313<br />
This paper presents a new hypothesis on<br />
spreading and immigration of pioneer plants.<br />
It is speculated that during phases of sudden<br />
climate warming, seeds and other parts of<br />
plants were transported by rivers from central<br />
Europe into the North Sea and the Baltic areas<br />
and drifted on to surrounding shores. Some<br />
parts have remained in the records as macrofossils,<br />
while in other cases the plants are proposed<br />
to have continued their life cycle in the<br />
new areas. The principle is illustrated<br />
by,examples from different areas and times:<br />
Weichselian Lateglacial finds in NW Germany<br />
suggest that tree trunks were brought<br />
northward. For central and northern Sweden<br />
exceptionally strong glacio-isostatic rebound<br />
could have followed pronounced land surface<br />
depression after the ice-sheet meltings. This<br />
would have transformed coasts to land quickly,<br />
promoting the growth of seeds and plants in<br />
areas that are now far inland. If this hypothesis<br />
is valid it can explain the presence of anomalously<br />
early, warm vegetations in newly deglaciated<br />
areas. The rapidity of water-borne<br />
immigration following a climatic warming can<br />
also open up for a possibility of quick immigration<br />
to other former near-coast areas and<br />
river banks in Europe. Based on an example of<br />
a warmth requiring palaeovegetation at<br />
Vrogum in Denmark and the fact that trees<br />
survived in central Europe during the coldest<br />
part of the Weichselian it is suggested that<br />
short-lived, palaeobotanically hitherto unknown<br />
warm phases might be worth looking<br />
for in the terrestric records.<br />

“Clarification” and ion and high-frequency<br />

allow microscopic examination of fusinitized<br />
plant tissues in fine anatomical detail,<br />
revealing the outlines of cells, the structure of<br />
cell walls, the outlines of bordered pits, and,<br />
occasionally, even cellular microstructures. It<br />
is supposed that the effects of “clarification”<br />
and etching are caused by those optical differences<br />
between the composition of organic<br />
biopolymers that constituted the anatomical<br />
structures of plants that have been preserved<br />
in the fossil state.<br />

Baltic amber constitutes the largest known<br />
deposit of fossil plant resin and the richest<br />
repository of fossil insects of any age. Despite<br />
a remarkable legacy of archaeological, geochemical<br />
and palaeobiological investigation,<br />
the botanical origin of this exceptional resource<br />
remains controversial. Here, we use<br />
taxonomically explicit applications of solidstate<br />
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy,<br />
coupled with multivariate<br />
clustering and palaeobotanical observations, to<br />
propose that conifers of the family Sciadopityaceae,<br />
closely allied to the sole extant representative,<br />
Sciadopitys verticillata, were involved<br />
in the genesis of Baltic amber. The<br />
fidelity of FTIR-based chemotaxonomic inferences<br />
is upheld by modern–fossil comparisons<br />
of resins from additional conifer families and<br />
genera (Cupressaceae: Metasequoia; Pinaceae:<br />
Pinus and Pseudolarix). Our conclusions challenge<br />
hypotheses advocating members of either<br />
of the families Araucariaceae or Pinaceae<br />
as the primary amber-producing trees and correlate<br />
favourably with the progressive demise<br />
of subtropical forest biomes from northern<br />
Europe as palaeotemperatures cooled following<br />
the Eocene climate<br />

The chert has preserved a plethora of compressed<br />
and fragmented remains of flowering<br />
plants. Apart from variously sized insitu axes<br />
and roots in a mold-like preservation, the chert<br />
contains small seeds, fragments of smaller<br />
axes and roots in anatomical preservation, as<br />
well as locally thin layers of small leaves. The<br />
cellular preservation of the plant remains is<br />
hardly recognizable in thin sections under<br />
transmitted light, but when the slides are<br />
placed under epifluorescence with +violetexcitation,<br />
cell walls and tissues strongly contrast<br />
with the matrix. The chert presumably<br />
formed in a near-shore area of a small inland<br />
body of standing water.<br />

The ecosystem reorganization of terrestrial<br />
vegetation in the Tunguska River basin, which<br />
occurred at the Permian—Triassic boundary,<br />
was analyzed. The taxonomic composition of<br />
Early Triassic floras of the Tunguska basin<br />
involved nearly all the main groups of higher<br />
plants, typical of floras of the early Mesophytic,<br />
which allows one to study in detail the<br />
dynamics of the appearance and the early evolution<br />
of the Mesozoic vegetation in the region.<br />
The reproductive organs of Gagariostrobus<br />

macrofloral record from the South Wales<br />
Coalfield, UK. ( 英 文 ). Cleal C J. Geological<br />

The South Wales Coalfield has the most<br />
complete Westphalian macrofloral record<br />
anywhere on the Variscan Foreland oradjacent<br />
basins, with 135 biodiversity-meaningful<br />
morphospecies having been recognized. All of<br />
the standard macrofloral biozones of the<br />
Westphalian Stage have been recognized, although<br />
a detailed comparison with the Central<br />
Pennines Coalfields has indicated some discrepancies<br />
in the relative positions of the biozonal<br />
boundaries. Total Species Richness progressively<br />
increases through the Langsettian<br />
Substage, and then remains relatively stable<br />
through most of the Duckmantian and Bolsovian<br />
substages. There is a distinct reduction in<br />
Total Species Richness towards the top of the<br />
Bolsovian Substage, but this partially recovers<br />
in the middle Asturian Substage with the appearance<br />
of a range of marattialean ferns, and<br />
medullosalean and callistophytaleans pteridosperms.<br />
There is no evidence of any significant<br />
drop in Total Species Richness towards<br />
the top of the succession, indicating that conditions<br />
at this time were relatively stable. The<br />
change from coastal floodplain to alluvial<br />
braidplain conditions in middle Bolsovian<br />
times correlates with a marked increase in the<br />
proportion of medullosalean remains being<br />
preserved in the adpression record, reflecting<br />
an expansion of the clastic-substrate habitats.<br />

A new permineralized fossil plant assemblage<br />
is described from volcaniclastic tuff collected<br />
in the Upper Permian (Wuchiapigian to<br />
Changhsingian) Xuanwei Formation at Shanjiaoshu<br />
mine, Guizhou Province, China. The<br />
assemblage is fragmentary but contains a<br />
small sphenopsid strobilus, a partial strobilus<br />
of a lepidodendralean lycopsid, pinnae of the<br />
filicalean fern Anachoropteris and a filicalean<br />
non-laminate fertile pinna rachis, the marattialean<br />
ferns Eoangiopteris, Scolecopteris and<br />
Psaronius, hooked stems of probable gigantopterid<br />
affinity, and two kinds of cardiocarpalean<br />
ovules. This represents the first indisputable<br />
evidence of Anachoropteris from the<br />
Permian of China, and contrasts with previous<br />
evidence from Europe and North America that<br />
indicates this genus became extinct during<br />
earliest Permian times. The assemblage highlights<br />
the persistence of plants from wetland<br />
communities and mire ecosystems into the<br />
Upper Permian of southern China, and adds<br />
further support to the presence of the Ameriosinian<br />
phytogeographical realm. This represents<br />
the first record of a plant assemblage<br />
preserved in volcaniclastic sediments from the<br />
Upper Permian of southern China, and in<br />
combination with other recently discovered<br />
plant assemblages in similar deposits in southern<br />
China, suggests volcanism to be an important<br />
factor in facilitating permineralized plant<br />
preservation in this realm. Although the<br />
source of the volcanism that produced the tuff<br />
is unknown, its age and location are consistent<br />
with the Emishan Large Igneous Province<br />
(LIP) of southwest China.<br />

Anatomically preserved plant fragments are<br />
reported from Devonian marine deposits exposed<br />
in the Dra Valley of southern Anti-Atlas,<br />
Morocco. Associated conodont and tentaculite<br />
faunas indicate that the sediments yielding<br />
plants, which consist of black shales with intercalated<br />
calcareous concretions, are early<br />
Frasnian in age and most probably represent<br />
Zone 2 of the conodont zonation. This is the<br />
first record of Frasnian plants in North Africa.<br />
The specimens found all correspond to decor-<br />
32
ticated portions of axes. Six are referable to<br />
Callixylon, the organ genus corresponding to<br />
anatomically preserved axes of the progymnosperm<br />
tree Archaeopteris. Based on wood<br />
characters, especially ray structure, they are<br />
assigned to the species C henkei, formerly<br />
described from the Famennian of Europe. One<br />
single specimen is compared to Xenocladia, a<br />
cladoxylopsid genus previously known from<br />
the Middle Devonian of Europe, USA and<br />
Kazakhstan. Interestingly, Archaeopteridales<br />
and Cladoxylopsida are two groups that dominate<br />
the younger plant assemblages of Famennian<br />
age recently described from the eastern<br />
Anti-Atlas. Callixylon henkei-type axes occur<br />
both in the Frasnian and in the Famennian deposits<br />
of the Anti-Atlas and they are all devoid<br />
of growth rings. These results are in accordance<br />
with a close position of Gondwana and<br />
Euramerica during Late Devonian times.<br />

A diverse assemblage of Carboniferous<br />
plant fossils occurs in the upper Benxi Formation<br />
at the Kaihuagou Section near Taiyuan,<br />
Shanxi, China. It consists of impressions and<br />
fusain fragments, the latter revealing anatomical<br />
details. Unlike previously published assemblages<br />
from the Benxi Formation, there<br />
are no pteridosperms, but a predominance of<br />
noeggerathioids and fern fragments. There are<br />
three new species: Achlamydocarpon taiyuanensis,<br />
Conchophyllum suboblongifolium,<br />
and the first reported example of a Selaginella<br />
from the Carboniferous System of China, S.<br />
benxiensis. The arborescent lycophytes do not<br />
to belong to Lepidodendron, as previously<br />
claimed, but to Synchysidendron, and three<br />
new combinations are therefore proposed for<br />
species from the Benxi Formation: S. galeatum,<br />
S. subrhombicum and S. tripunctatum.<br />
The Benxi Formation flora represents a transition<br />
between the tropical swamp vegetation<br />
represented in the Westphalian floras of<br />
Europe and North America, and the Stephanian<br />
and Permian Cathaysian floras of China.<br />
It is evidence of an essential continuity between<br />
the Late Palaeozoic vegetation of the<br />
western and eastern tropics, which should be<br />
united as a single phytochorion, the Amerosinian<br />
Realm.<br />

Plant fossils are described from the Cuche<br />

the area of Floresta. Those identified as Colpodexylon<br />
cf. deatsii Banks and cf. Archaeopteris<br />
sp. suggest an earliest Late Devonian<br />
(Frasnian) age for the formation. These or<br />
similar taxa are also found in contemporaneous<br />
deposits in western Venezuela, and other<br />
elements of the Venezuelan flora are found in<br />
a geographically intermediate locality. All<br />
three Devonian plant localities in the northwest<br />
of South America are within the Colombian<br />
Eastern Cordillera and its northern extension,<br />
the Venezuelan Perija Range, an area<br />
that has been integrated as a part of the socalled<br />
'Eastern Andean Terrane' or 'Central<br />
Andean Province', supposedly accreted to the<br />
autochthonous block of the Guyana Shield<br />
during the early Jurassic or before. Although<br />
both invertebrates and plants from this terrane<br />
have strong affinities to North American and<br />
European assemblages, and might be interpreted<br />
as implying a Laurussian origin for the<br />
Eastern Andean Terrane, the evidence is not<br />
yet unequivocal, with some authors postulating<br />
an in situ development of this province.<br />

Vermaire J C; Cwynar L C. Canadian Journal<br />
of Earth Sciences, 2010, 47(1): 75-88<br />
Antifreeze Pond was thought to contain the<br />
oldest record of continuous environmental<br />
change in the southwestern Yukon. We have<br />
revised the original interpretation of the vegetation<br />
history of Antifreeze Pond and this region<br />
based on new pollen, stomate, and macrofossil<br />
analysis, along with 38 new accelerator<br />
mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dates from<br />
Antifreeze Pond and nearby Eikland Pond.<br />
Although the overall pattern of vegetation<br />
33
change is similar to the previously published<br />
Antifreeze Pond record, our new analysis indicates<br />
that the timing of the major vegetation<br />
shifts is substantially different, particularly<br />
during the late-glacial and early Holocene periods<br />
(from ~17000- 9000 cal years BP). The<br />
original Antifreeze Pond record was thought<br />
to span a mid-Wisconsinan interstadial<br />
(>30000 cal years BP) and the full-glacial period.<br />
Our results, however, indicate that the<br />
material of mid-Wisconsinan age was likely<br />
deposited by slumping around the pond making<br />
interpretation of the paleoenvironment<br />
difficult. Furthermore, our AMS 14 C dates<br />
show that what was thought to be a full-glacial<br />
vegetation record is actually the vegetation<br />
history of the late-glacial period (ca. 17000-<br />
11000 cal years BP), which was a time of<br />
rapid sediment deposition into the ponds. The<br />
Eikland Pond record has an early Holocene<br />
Populus rise between ca. 11000- 8000 cal<br />
years BP that is not present in either the new<br />
or original Antifreeze Pond records. This new<br />
interpretation of the vegetation history should<br />
aid comparisons to other regional paleoenvironmental<br />
records.<br />

Although the faunal elements of Far East<br />
Asian Mesozoic terrestrial biota have attracted<br />
much attention in recent years, their palaeoecology<br />
remains poorly known. In particular,<br />
features of the palaeoclimate are<br />
highly controversial. To address this point we<br />
used the Mesozoic fossil wood Xenoxylon, a<br />
genus recognized as an indicator of wet temperate<br />
biotopes and which is common in the<br />
area during the Carnian–Maastrichtian interval.<br />
We re-appraised bibliographic data and gathered<br />
new data for Xenoxylon in the Mesozoic<br />
of Far East Asia. This demonstrated that previous<br />
taxonomic approaches to the genus have<br />
been so far idiosyncratic. We examined the<br />
anatomical diversity of morphogenus Xenoxylon<br />
in Far East Asia and compared it to that of<br />
samples from Europe. This indicates that in an<br />
area centred on north-eastern China, Xenoxylon<br />
reached a level of anatomical diversity<br />
unmatched elsewhere in the world. We hypothesize<br />
that this diversity witnesses the persistence<br />
of palaeoecological conditions particularly<br />
suitable for Xenoxylon and that a wet<br />
temperate climate prevailed over most of the<br />
area throughout the Carnian–Maastrichtian<br />
interval. It is in this setting that the famous<br />
Jehol Biota probably evolved.<br />

Novel and diverse associations of calcareous<br />

in Late Badenian (late Middle Miocene)<br />

Devínska Nová Ves, a borough of Bratislava,<br />
Slovakia, in which the Late Badenian lectotype<br />

taxa, many of them new and of abnormal<br />
morphology, have been distinguished and assigned<br />
to ten genera. The following seven taxa<br />
are newly introduced from the Devínska Nová<br />
Ves clay pit: four genera comprising five new<br />
species, i.e., Calciconus irregularis, Juergenella<br />
remanei, Cylindratus borzae, Posoniella<br />
pustulata, Posoniella campestris, one new<br />
varietas, i.e., Calcicarpinum perfectum var.<br />
poratum, and one new forma, i.e., Caracomia<br />
arctica forma duplicata. In addition, the following<br />
new combinations have been made:<br />
Posoniella tricarinelloides (Versteegh), Juergenella<br />
ansata (Hildebrand-Habel and Willems),<br />
and Juergenella granulata (Kohring).<br />
The genus Melodomuncula Versteegh is<br />
emended based on a new interpretation of its<br />

emended because the concept used for the genus<br />
is not in accordance with the original description.<br />

cells and filaments and the fluvial origin of<br />
deposits that host the fossils are all consistent<br />
with cyanobacterial affinity. Prattella massanuttense<br />
combines preservation as carbonaceous<br />
compression at a macroscopic scale<br />
with cellular preservation by mineral replacement<br />
of cell contents at a microscopic scale.<br />
These fossils provide the earliest direct evidence<br />
for the occurrence of cyanobacteria in<br />
fluvial habitats and add to the knowledge of<br />
terrestrial ecosystems that hosted early stages<br />
of land plant evolution. (C) 2009 The Linnean<br />

The history of the genus Ungdarella and the<br />
family Ungdarellaceae is discussed. Data on<br />
thallus morphology in members of the family<br />
are analyzed. Three new genera, Ungdarelloides,<br />
Urtasimella, and Suundukella, and a<br />
new species of the genus Ungdarella, U. mitchaelensis<br />
sp. nov., are described. The type<br />
localities of these taxa are briefly outlined. All<br />
these taxa come from Middle Carboniferous<br />
carbonate rocks of the Subpolar and Southern<br />
Ural Mountains.<br />

High abundance but rather low diversity algal<br />
fossils were found in the hydrocarbon<br />
source rocks of the Ch 7-2–Ch 7-3 section,<br />
Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Xifeng<br />
area of southwest Ordos Basin, which are<br />
mainly composed of prolific Leiosphaeridia<br />
and Botryococcus. Botryococcus colonies are<br />
of various forms; the majority is nubbly, with<br />
some of cluster and cotton shape. The nubbly<br />
colonies appear globular, cordiform, ternate<br />
petal, obtuse triangle, chrysanthemum shape<br />
and so on. Most Botryococcus are saffron or<br />
brown and are frequently covered with clay<br />
under transmission microscope, and shows<br />
strong yellow and light brown under fluorescence<br />
microscope. Botryococcus could live in<br />
freshwater and brackish water. The Botryococcus<br />
colonies that lived in fresh water are<br />
small with small single cells arranged radially,<br />
with undulant or indented edges. The Botryococcus<br />
colonies that lived in brackish water<br />
are bigger, with larger single cells arranged<br />
irregularly, with slippery contours. The most<br />
of Botryococcus are discovered from the organic-rich<br />
argillaceous sediment with abundant<br />
pyrites in the semi- and deep-lake facies,<br />
and shows they were preserved in low-energy<br />
reducing environments. Taphonomic characteristics<br />
of various microfossils and the present<br />
of Pediastrum in the phytoplankton flora<br />
indicate that they are in situ or near burial.<br />
The lake area of the Ordos Basin was gradually<br />
expanding and reaching its most extensive<br />
flood surface in the Ch 7 of Yanchang Formation<br />
interval during the Middle and Late Triassic,<br />
with warm climate, plentiful rainfall, and<br />
luxuriant vegetation, as determined by the environmental<br />
analysis with Botryococcus in<br />
Xifeng area. The presence of two ecological<br />
types of Botryococcus indicates that the salinity<br />
of lake water was fluctuating in the Ch 7<br />
interval. The occurrence of symbiotic acritarchs<br />
and geochemical salinity indices show<br />
that the Ordos Lake was a typical fresh-water<br />
lake, which was gradually desalted, and its<br />
salinity fluctuation was narrow during the<br />
Mid-Later Triassic. The ecological type of the<br />
palynological flora discovered from the Ch 7<br />
to Ch 8 in Xifeng area is similar to that from<br />
the Fuxian Lake, with abundant Botryococcus<br />
in the Yungui Plateau of China. These findings<br />
imply that the Ordos Basin was in a<br />
lower-latitude area of temperate to subtropical<br />
climate during the Middle and Late Triassic.<br />

The current state of the North Pacific Cenozoic<br />
diatom zonation is reviewed. The high<br />
resolution of diatom zonation is shown, which<br />
is comparable to that of groups of calcareous<br />
planktonic microfossils. The significance of<br />
diatom assemblages for the dating and correlation<br />
of various Tertiary marine sediments in<br />
the North Pacific is discussed. Recent examples<br />
of subdivision of the Oligocene-Neogene<br />
sequences of this region and dating of geological<br />
events on the zonal basis are given.<br />

Borings in carbonate grains attributed to the<br />

from the Middle Cambrian Henson<br />
Gletscher Formation of North Greenland. Four<br />
morphotypes are recognised, both in thin section<br />
and as three-dimensional phosphatic replicas<br />
etched from the host rock with acetic<br />
acid. The borings are described in open nomenclature<br />
due to the lack of detail concerning<br />
cell shape and size. The assemblage indicates<br />
a diversity of euendoliths in the Middle<br />
Cambrian which can be readily compared with<br />
living species of Hyella and other described<br />
fossil Eohyella.<br />

The relative abundances of the silicoflagellate<br />
Dictyocha speculum Ehrenberg and the<br />
ebridian Ebria tripartita (Schumann) Lemmermann<br />
within the total siliceous microfossil<br />
flora were determined in four sediment cores<br />
from the northwestern Baltic Sea covering the<br />
last c. 8,000 years, and that of Ebria tripartita<br />
in five short sediment cores from the southern<br />
Baltic Sea covering the last c. 100-200 years<br />
and in surface sediment samples from the<br />
northern and central Baltic Sea representing<br />
the years 1993 and 1997. In the present study<br />
it is shown that D. speculum has a well defined<br />
acme (peak) zone confined to c. 5,500-<br />
4,500 C-14 years BP, and it is suggested that<br />
this may represent the most saline phase in the<br />
Holocene history of the Baltic Sea. Ebria tripartita,<br />
on the other hand, has no distinct acme<br />
zone in the cores, although a slight increase in<br />
its relative abundance occurs c. 2.000-1,500<br />
C-14 years BP in the three cores covering this<br />
period. It is also shown that there is no coherent<br />
trend in the abundance of E. tripartita during<br />
the most recent centuries, but that the<br />
variations seem to be confined to periods<br />
when there were major changes in diatom assemblages.<br />
It is concluded that E. tripartita is<br />
useful neither as a biomarker nor as a palaeoenvironmental<br />
indicator in the Baltic Sea.<br />
It is argued that the diatom assemblages, the<br />
resuspension effect, year to year fluctuations<br />
in bloom and the patchiness of the blooms are<br />
the main factors controlling the relative abundance<br />
of E. tripartita skeletons in Baltic Sea<br />
sediments.<br />

The most well preserved and diverse upper<br />

nannofossils (coccolithophores)<br />
known to date is described from the Pande<br />
Clays, Kilwa Group, Tanzania. The assemblage<br />
is exceptionally diverse, with a total of<br />
115 species described herein, which significantly<br />
exceeds the current globally compiled<br />
nannofossil species diversity of 67 for the latest<br />
Eocene (NP19/20). The enhanced diversity<br />
observed in these sections is concentrated in<br />
the numerous Rhabdosphaeraceae (20 species),<br />
Syracosphaeraceae and holococcolith taxa (19<br />
species) that are unknown from any other contemporaneous<br />
location. Scanning electron microscope<br />
(SEM) studies reveal exquisite preservation<br />
down to the sub-micron scale in<br />
many of these taxa, including the architecture<br />
of
ather than different species and genera.<br />
Therefore, classifications that divide Tetradium<br />
into different species and genera based<br />
only on growth form have no biological basis.<br />
There is little evidence of interspecific interactions<br />

In order to provide a detailed dinoflagellate<br />
cyst stratigraphy of the Lower Aalenian<br />
Opalinuston Formation from the Aalenian<br />
type area, 68 samples from four boreholes and<br />
one outcrop section were analysed. The sample<br />
localities are Hausen an der Fils and Wittnau<br />
in southwest Germany, Weiach in north<br />
Switzerland and Mont Russelin in the Swiss<br />
Jura Mountains. Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages<br />
were recovered from the Late Toarcian<br />
Aalensis Zone to the Late Aalenian Murchisonae<br />
Zone. The samples yielded rich, wellpreserved<br />
and diverse assemblages with 51<br />
dinoflagellate cyst taxa identified in total. The<br />
dinoflagellate cyst distribution data obtained<br />
from this study allow a high-resolution biostratigraphical<br />
subdivision of the lowermost<br />

four palynostratigraphical units. First and last<br />

Members of the genus Glomites played a<br />

fossil fungi are studied from silicified tissues<br />
of the axial organs of several specimens of the<br />
Early Devonian Rhynia gwynne-vaughanii<br />
Kidston et Lang and Aglaophyton major (Kidston<br />

of vesicular-arbuscular endomycorrhiza,<br />
the fungus Glomites, is studied. The morphology<br />
of its mycelium, vesicles, glomoid spores,<br />

obtained allows the description of a<br />
new species, Glomites sporocarpoides Karatygin,<br />

This is the third species of this genus and<br />
the first species with sporocarps from Devonian<br />
deposits. Fungal sporocarps have been<br />
found in both dying plant tissues and in dispersed<br />
plant remains. Developmental stages of<br />
glomoid spores are revealed. G. sporocarpoides<br />
is characterized by the presence of both<br />
symbiotic and distinct pathogenic features.<br />
Similarities and dissimilarities in the formation<br />

Siberia. The microfossils were discovered on<br />
organic sapropelic films. The preserved morphological<br />
characters and some developmental<br />
stages of the ancient organisms, which are<br />
fixed in fossil state, suggest that some of them<br />
resembled zygomycetes. Other microfossils<br />
under consideration are comparable to reproductive<br />
structures of myxomycetes in the type<br />
of fusion of spheroid cells and formation of<br />
various types of aggregation (sori). Colonies<br />
of unicellular microfossils that are arranged in<br />
a branching pseudomycelium superficially<br />
resemble yeasts. The presence in the same<br />
biota of fungal remains belonging to the<br />
Myxomycota and Mycota, as well as members<br />
of xanthophyte vaucherian algae, indicates<br />
that various branches of eukaryotes might<br />
have developed in parallel even earlier than<br />

Silicified fossils from Rhynie cherts in<br />

the genus Winfrenatia is detected and studied.<br />
This oldest terrestrial lichen is dated to the<br />
Pragian (=Siegenian) of the Early Devonian.<br />
New characters of the lichen are described,<br />
and their new interpretation is given. The<br />
main component of the lichen thallus is a filamentous<br />
cyanobacterium (Nostocales). Structures<br />
which were interpreted as fungal hyphae<br />
are probably hollow sheaths of this cyanobacterium.<br />
Mycobiont hyphae develop at the base<br />
of the thallus and symbiose with a coccoid<br />
cyanobacterium. Thus, Winfrenatia reticulata<br />
is a three-parted organism, constituted of a<br />
mycobiont and filamentous and coccoid<br />
cyanobacteria.<br />

frequent in tuffaceous laminated levels with<br />
assymmetrical ripple marks, microcrossbedding<br />
and bioturbations associated<br />
with shallow lacustrine environment. Stems<br />
are herbaceous, grass-like and have extremely<br />
small dimensions: diameter 1,3 mm, internodes<br />
0,9 cm long, cross section hexagonal<br />
with 6 carinae and valeculae and 6 leaves per<br />
node fused into a leaf sheath. No branching<br />
was observed. The material is mostly vegetative,<br />
but three specimens with mature strobili<br />
show hexagonal, verticilate sporangiophores.<br />
The observed characters allow us to assign<br />
them to a new species of Equisetites: E. minimus<br />
n.sp. The sterns lie parallel to the bedding<br />
planes or cross them suggesting life position.<br />
They probably grew in dense, monotypic<br />

Lugardonia paradoxa gen. et sp. nov., a<br />
new strobilus with in situ spores from the Anisian<br />
flora of Kühwiesenkopf, the Dolomites,<br />
Italy, is described. These strobili show the<br />
general gross morphology of a gymnosperm<br />
(e.g. a seed fern) inflorescence with male organs<br />
consisting of pollen sacs on short stalks.<br />
However, they yield large trilete spores (c.<br />
100 µm in diameter), almost circular in equatorial<br />
outline, with a smooth inner layer and a<br />
granulate–verrucate outer layer (similar to<br />
exospore and perispore in fern spores). These<br />
spores suggest a pteridophyte rather than a<br />
gymnosperm affinity. Because of either macromorphological<br />
characters or spore morphology<br />
(based on light microscope (LM), scanning<br />
electron microscope (SEM) and transmission<br />
electron microscope (TEM) analysis,<br />
most plant groups are ruled out as possible<br />
39
parent plants for these strobili. Only the ferns<br />
and seed ferns might be considered as potential<br />
parent plants. The possible affinities of<br />
these strobili within the ferns and seedferns<br />
are discussed in detail, with special emphasis<br />
on the ultrastructural features of the in situ<br />
spores. However, no definite conclusions can<br />
be drawn, although a fern affinity appears to<br />
be the more likely one based on spore morphology.<br />

Dictyophyllum, a genus of the fern family<br />
Dipteridaceae, was widespread during the Triassic<br />
and Jurassic. However, the in situ spores<br />
are relatively poorly known. The specimens<br />
described here represent the first report of fertile<br />
fronds with in situ spores from Asia. Wellpreserved<br />
and compressed specimens of the<br />
dipteridaceous fern Dictyophyllum nilssonii<br />
(Brongniart) Goeppert were investigated from<br />
the type locality of the Hsiangchi Flora in<br />
western Hubei province, southern China, collected<br />
from the upper part of the Lower Jurassic<br />
Hsiangchi Formation. Sporangia and in<br />
situ spores were examined using light and<br />
electron microscopes. The sporangia are<br />
rounded, 300–450 µm in diameter, with an<br />
oblique annulus. Each sporangium produces<br />
220–280 trilete spores. These are triangular to<br />
subtriangular in outline, 40 µm in average diameter,<br />
with smooth exines, as well as interradial<br />
thickenings along the laesura situated on<br />
the proximal surface. The in situ spores are<br />
comparable to the dispersed trilete spore genus<br />
Dictyophyllidites. Preliminary observations<br />
on the ultrastructure of the in situ spores<br />
are reported, which supply clues for further<br />
investigation of the systematics and phylogeny<br />
of the Dipteridaceae. In addition, the ecological<br />
implications of Dictyophyllum and its associated<br />
ferns are briefly discussed.<br />

The Gleicheniaceae is an ancient leptosporangiate<br />
fern family with fossil records dating<br />
back to the Palaeozoic. Fossil gleicheniaceous<br />
plants in China have received much attention<br />
and it has been suggested they play an important<br />
role for understanding the origin and evolution<br />
of the Gleicheniaceae. In this paper, the<br />
fossil diversity of gleicheniaceous plants is<br />
analyzed based upon systematic review of 27<br />
species ascribed to six genera of fossils recorded<br />
from the Permo-Carboniferous to Cretaceous/Tertiary<br />
of China. The reproductive<br />
structures, including sori, sporangia, annuli<br />
and in situ spores (including their ultrastructure)<br />
are especially emphasized and discussed<br />
in a systematic and evolutionary context. The<br />
palaeogeographical distribution and stratigraphical<br />
ranges of these fossils are investigated<br />
based on detailed fossil records at the<br />
species level. Our study indicates that fossil<br />
gleicheniaceous plants in China have undergone<br />
evolutionary processes that include origin,<br />
decline, recovery and radiation, during<br />
different episodes from the Carboniferous to<br />
Cretaceous/Tertiary.<br />

species, Selaginella labutae, sp. nov., is described<br />
from the Libušín (former Schőller)<br />
Mine, near Kladno, Kladno–Rakovník Basin,<br />

the smallest known herbaceous lycopsid cones.<br />
Two types of leaves are recognised. Therefore,<br />
the new species belongs to Selaginella subgen.<br />
Selaginella and not to the subgenus Hexaphyllum<br />
Thomas which is characterized by three<br />
different types of leaves. Poorly preserved in<br />

A new sub-arborescent lycopsid species<br />
Spencerites leismanii sp. nov. is proposed for<br />
compression specimens yielding spores of the<br />
Spencerisporites-type. Macrofossils of Spencerites<br />
leismanii were studied as well as in<br />
situ spores. All specimens are from the Tlustice<br />
relict within the Bolsovian strata of the<br />
Radnice Member, Pennsylvanian. Spencerites<br />
leismanii is interpreted as a relatively small<br />
sub-arborescent lycopsid – probably more<br />
than 1 m high – with at least three orders of<br />
branching. Its sporangia are borne singly on<br />
peltate sporophylls, attached distally by a narrow<br />
base. In situ pseudosaccate trilete spores<br />
possess striate sculpture on the proximal and<br />
distal surfaces of the central body. The pseudosaccus<br />
is reticulate with a narrow rim on the<br />
margin. Spores isolated from Spencerites<br />
leismanii can be classified as Spencerisporites<br />
cf. striatus. A reconstruction of Spencerites<br />
leismanii is presented and palaeoecology of<br />
Spencerites species from the Czech Republic<br />

previously reported Pteroretis-producing<br />
cones are petrifactions from coal-balls. Sterile<br />
stems associated with the cones usually have<br />
nine lanceolate leaves, each with a single vein,<br />
arranged into whorls. Older stems possess<br />
leaves divided into narrow lanceolate lobes.<br />

operculum, primary and secondary ridges, and<br />
wing-like extensions. In situ and dispersed<br />
spores of the Pteroretis-type and their parent<br />

A new fossil species of the freshwater fern<br />
Azolla (Azollaceae, Salviniales) is described<br />
from an unusual setting of high palaeolatitude<br />
in the Arctic Ocean. Azolla arctica sp. nov.,<br />
(lower Middle Eocene, Lomonosov Ridge) is<br />
represented by fully developed megaspore<br />
apparatuses with attached microspore massulae<br />
and clustered and dispersed microspore<br />
massulae. These abundant co-occurring fossils,<br />
combined with their associated biota, demonstrate<br />
that Azolla was growing and reproducing<br />
on a freshwater surface of the Eocene Arctic<br />
Ocean. Azolla arctica is compared with<br />
other fossil Azolla species, especially those<br />
from around Arctic and Nordic Seas. It documents<br />
new characteristics for the genus. The<br />
megaspore apparatus is small with a thin<br />
megaspore wall and a distinctive exoperine<br />
where nodular exoperinal masses fuse at several<br />
levels resulting in a rugulate, undulating,<br />
punctate to foveolate exoperine surface.<br />
Microspore massulae have two size classes of<br />
glochidia, short (< 25 µm) and long (> 55 µm),<br />
the anchor-shaped tips lack recurved flukes.<br />
These distinctive characters provide the potential<br />
to recognise Azolla arctica as fragmentary<br />
remains in palynological preparations from<br />
drill cores. Therefore, future comparisons with<br />
other fossils will reveal if a single species<br />
grew across the Arctic Ocean and if freshwater<br />
spills from the Arctic spread into the Nordic<br />
Seas.<br />

Recent Arctic drilling has revealed that the<br />
freshwater surface-floating heterosporous fern<br />
Azolla arctica Collinson et al. (Azollaceae,<br />
Salviniales) bloomed and reproduced in the<br />
Arctic Ocean on a massive scale during the<br />
early Middle Eocene. These blooms have been<br />
suggested to have been capable of significant<br />
drawdown of atmospheric CO 2 paving the<br />
way to Cenozoic climatic cooling. Sites of<br />
similar age across the Arctic and Nordic Seas<br />
also contain Azolla fossils suggestive of an<br />
area much larger than the Arctic Ocean being<br />
affected by Azolla blooms, as far south as<br />
Denmark. Here we investigate the Danish occurrences<br />
known from the Lillebælt Clay<br />
Formation, transitional Ypresian/Lutetian in<br />
age (latest Early Eocene to earliest Middle<br />
Eocene). The Lillebælt Clay is a marine deposit<br />
rich in diverse organic-walled dinoflagellate<br />
cysts yet conspicuously characterized by<br />
abundant co-occurring and interconnected<br />
fully mature Azolla megaspores and microspore<br />
massulae. Perhaps surprisingly, we find<br />
that multiple morphological and ultrastructural<br />
characters distinguish the Danish Azolla species<br />
from Azolla arctica and it is here described<br />
as Azolla jutlandica sp. nov. Therefore,<br />
contrary to expectations given the overlapping<br />
age of these assemblages, it appears that not a<br />
single Azolla species has spread from the Arctic<br />
to the Southern North Sea either through<br />
freshwater spills from the Arctic Ocean or as a<br />
result of rapid spread due to highly invasive<br />
biology. Apparently Northern Hemisphere<br />
middle and high latitude conditions near the<br />
termination of a period known as the Early<br />
Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO) were suitable<br />
for proliferation of two different Azolla<br />
species, one in the Arctic Ocean and one in<br />
the southern North Sea.<br />

Permineralized reproductive structures have<br />

decades. No formal descriptions have been<br />
available for this material, however, leaving a<br />
gap in our knowledge of the glossopterid clade.<br />
Lakkosia kerasata gen. et sp. nov. is a multiovulate,<br />
megasporangiate structure found in<br />
silicified peat from the Upper Permian Skaar<br />
Ridge locality in the central Transantarctic<br />
Mountains. Ovules are borne in depressions<br />
on the adaxial surface of the megasporophyll<br />
and enclosed in thin strips of tissue that arise<br />
from the sporophyll. Transfusion tissue with<br />
scalariform wall thickenings is present in the<br />
sporophyll and may have acted as storage or<br />
conducting tissue. In longitudinal sections of<br />
the ovules, the sclerotesta forms two appressed,<br />
hemispherical masses of lignified<br />
parenchyma cells, which create the micropyle.<br />
Tissue of the sarcotesta overarches these parenchymatous<br />
masses, creating a chamber<br />
above the micropyle. Lakkosia is compared to<br />
previously described permineralized glossopterid<br />
structures from Antarctica, permineralized<br />
reproductive structures from the Bowen<br />
Basin of Australia, and impression material<br />
found in Antarctica.<br />

The genus Cooksonia Lang 1937 includes<br />
some of the earliest land plants. Specimens of<br />
Cooksonia pertoni Lang 1937 are considered<br />
the earliest Eutracheophytes. The definition of<br />
the genus is thus central to the delineation of<br />
the clade. However, the generic diagnosis is<br />
problematic. It is not restrictive enough, and<br />
most of the few diagnostic characters are plesiomorphic.<br />
Observations on new specimens<br />
of Cooksonia paranensis Gerrienne et al. 2001,<br />
a species very close to C. pertoni, considered<br />
along with a compilation of the Cooksonia<br />
literature, allow us to propose more precise<br />
diagnostic characters. An allometric study was<br />
performed on more than 100 specimens of C.<br />
paranensis. This study allows discrimination<br />
of true morphological variations from growth<br />
stages. The growth habit of Cooksonia is discussed.<br />
An emended diagnosis including<br />
apomorphic characters is given for the genus,<br />
as well as a lectotypification of the genus and<br />
the type-species.<br />

A previous study of the Late Devonian<br />
cladoxylopsid Denglongia hubeiensis Xue et<br />
Hao provided a detailed morphological description,<br />
while new material from the type<br />
locality of the Huangjiadeng Formation,<br />
Hubei Province, China, reported here reveals<br />
details of anatomy. Main axes are actinostelic<br />
in transverse sections, showing a primary xylem<br />
column with five or six xylem ribs separated<br />
by deep embayments. First-order axes<br />
have a deeply ribbed primary xylem column<br />
with four xylem ribs. Each stelar rib has two<br />
permanent, mesarch protoxylem strands near<br />
its periphery. Tracheids interpreted as protoxylem<br />
show annular or helical thickenings.<br />
Metaxylem tracheids have scalariform and<br />
elliptical bordered pits. Anatomically, Denglongia<br />
is more similar to the iridopteridaleans<br />
than to other plants in the actinostele, the peripheral<br />
protoxylem strands, the disintegration<br />
of protoxylem tracheids, and the pitting pattern<br />
of metaxylem tracheids. The phylogeny<br />
of the Cladoxylopsida was evaluated by parsimony<br />
and Bayesian cladistic analyses. The<br />
results showed that the Pseudosporochnales<br />
constitute a very robust monophyletic group<br />
supported by a suite of characters: the presence<br />
of arborescence; digitate branching;<br />
straight tips of sterile ultimate appendages;<br />
dissected primary xylem; elliptical to strapshaped<br />
primary xylem strands; and sclereids<br />
in the cortex. The monophyly of the Iridopteridales<br />
is questioned in that the previously<br />
suggested defining characters, whorled<br />
branching and peripheral protoxylem strands,<br />
are considered more plesiomorphic in the<br />
cladistic context. The relationship between the<br />
iridopteridaleans and the sphenophyllaleans is<br />
weakly supported. The Bayesian analysis recognized<br />
a tentative "iridopteridalean-based<br />
group," in which the iridopteridaleans, Denglongia,<br />
Metacladophyton Wang et Geng,<br />
Polypetalophyton Geng, and their probable<br />
relatives are nested within an unresolved polytomy.<br />

( 英 文 ). Axsmith B J. International Journal of<br />
Plant Sciences, 2009, 170(5): 657-665<br />
Cynepteris bolichii is proposed as a new<br />
species of the monogeneric fern family<br />
Cynepteridaceae on the basis of a single, wellarticulated<br />
specimen from the Upper Triassic<br />
Chinle Formation in Petrified Forest National<br />
Park, Arizona. The specimen consists of an<br />
erect rhizome with at least eight attached<br />
fronds. As for the other three known<br />
Cynepteris species, C. bolichii pinnae exhibit<br />
reticulate venation and scattered, solitary, exindusiate<br />
sporangia on their abaxial surfaces.<br />
Each sporangium is ovoid to pyriform with a<br />
short, thick stalk and a complete, apical, caplike<br />
annulus consisting of a single row of cells<br />
surrounding a multicellular distal plate. These<br />
sporangial features are similar to those of several<br />
fossil and extant schizaealean ferns.<br />
Cynepteris bolichii differs from other<br />
Cynepteris species mainly in having oncepinnate<br />
fronds with abundant, elongate hairs<br />
on the rachises and veins. Most recent estimates<br />
of fern phylogeny consider the Jurassic<br />
fossils Stachypteris, Klukiopsis, and Klukia as<br />
the oldest fossil representatives of the<br />
Schizaeales. It is here proposed that<br />
Cynepteris should be considered as a probable<br />
Late Triassic record of the order. Features<br />
43
such as reticulate venation, scattered sporangia,<br />
and lack of fertile/sterile frond dimorphism<br />
are rare and scattered among other fossil<br />
and extant ferns currently attributed to the<br />
Schizaeales, underscoring the importance of<br />
fossils for understanding the early divergence,<br />
ancestral morphology, and biogeography of<br />
ancient plants groups like the ferns.<br />

Although tree ferns dominated the Mesozoic<br />
flora, their taxonomic relationships are<br />
poorly understood at the generic level, and<br />
next to nothing can be said of evolutionary<br />
trends within the group. At least five genera<br />
are recognized based on the remains of sporebearing<br />
structures. However, the dispersed<br />
spores belong to the same generalized morphotype,<br />
and cannot be assigned to genera<br />
based on macroscopic remains of fertile leaves.<br />
Electron microscopy of spores in situ may<br />
partly resolve these problems providing additional<br />
criteria for classification of sporebearing<br />
structures and disperse spores. We<br />
studied in situ spores of the Early Cretaceous<br />
Alsophilites nipponensis (Oishi) Krassilov,<br />
which are comparable to dispersed spores Cyathidites<br />
minor Coup. Spore wall micromorphology<br />
and ultrastructure indicate their affinities<br />
with the modern genus Alsophila R.<br />
Brown. Only occasional poorly preserved striate<br />
sculptures survive the standard treatment<br />
of maceration of the perispore. Our data confirm<br />
the primitive status of the species with a<br />
great number of spores per sporangium, thick<br />
unsculptured exospore consisting of two ultrastructural<br />
layers, and the possibility that whole<br />
sporangia with unshed spores can function as<br />
dispersal units.<br />

As a representative fossil member of the<br />
dipteridaceous fern, genus Hausmannia was<br />
reported worldwide from the Mesozoic strata;<br />
however, little is known about the fertile<br />
structures, including sporangia and in situ<br />
spores, of this genus. In this study, a new species<br />
Hausmannia sinensis was identified from<br />
the Middle Jurassic of Nei Mongol (Inner<br />
Mongolia), northern China. The specimens are<br />
44
compressions and are well preserved with details<br />
of sporangia and in situ spores. The leaf<br />
laminae are broadly fan-shaped, with an almost<br />
entire margin. Primary and lateral veins<br />
dichotomously branch to form square or polygonal<br />
meshes. Each ultimate mesh bears one<br />
to two circular sori of 0.4 mm in diameter.<br />
Sori are exindusiate; each sorus contains three<br />
to six round to ovoid sporangia. The annulus<br />
is developed and oblique, with stomial region<br />
present in proximal position. Spores are trilete,<br />
circular to oval in shape. Both proximal and<br />
distal surfaces are covered with baculate to<br />
subverrucate sculptures. Spores range from 20<br />
to 30 μm in diameter (average 28 μm), and are<br />
comparable to the dispersed genera Baculatisporites<br />
Thomas and Pflug and Apiculatisporis<br />
Potonié and Kremp. Hausmannia sinensis<br />
represents the first compression species of<br />
genus Hausmannia form Eurasia, which<br />
shows the combination of well-preserved sori,<br />
sporangia, annuli and in situ spore characters,<br />
and is therefore helpful for further understanding<br />

The leaf is three-dimensional, consisting of<br />
one central abaxial segment and four lateral<br />
adaxial segments, and does not conform to the<br />
once bifurcate leaf of Protolepidodendron.<br />
Specimens are therefore transferred to Leclercqia<br />
cf. L. complexa. This is the first unequivocal<br />
report of the genus Leclercqia in<br />
China based on complete leaf morphology.<br />
The distribution of Leclercqia is discussed,<br />
demonstrating a more or less cosmopolitan<br />
genus in the Middle Devonian. The Middle<br />
Devonian flora of North Xinjiang shows great<br />
similarity to that of Venezuela and North<br />
America, and almost no relationship with that<br />
of Yunnan, South China.<br />

Thomas B A. Geological Magazine, 2007,<br />
144(3): 457-463<br />
A summary is given of the lycophyte species<br />
as distributed in fifteen Euramerican coalfields<br />
during Asturian (Westphalian D) times.<br />
The datasets from the coalfields are analysed<br />
using unweighted pair group cluster analyses<br />
of Jaccard's Coefficients. Separate analyses<br />
were done on the full dataset (the full list of<br />
morphospecies) and on a more restricted dataset<br />
(only the morphospecies of vegetative organs).<br />
Three groupings of coalfields were resolved<br />
in the analyses. The two most clearly<br />
defined groupings represented the intramontane<br />
basin coalfields, and the coalfields of the<br />
lowland basins on the Variscan foreland<br />
where the lycophyte floras are well documented.<br />
The third grouping included those<br />
basins with less well-studied lycophyte floras,<br />
where the apparently low species diversity has<br />
undoubtedly affected the results. More work is<br />
needed on these poorly documented floras to<br />
produce a more rigorous phytogeographical<br />
analysis.<br />

Abundant and well-preserved material of<br />
the ligulate lycopsid genus Leclercqia is reported<br />
from a new Middle Devonian locality<br />
in northeastern Queensland (Australia). The<br />
plants occur in a chert horizon in the Storm<br />
Hill Sandstone of the Dosey-Craigie Platform.<br />
Lithological data and conodont analyses combined<br />
with information from in situ spores<br />
provide an age for the plant levels ranging<br />
from Eifelian, possibly Middle Eifelian, to<br />
Early Givetian. Plant taxonomic identification<br />
is based on vegetative and fertile stems that<br />
display both external morphology and anatomy.<br />
This material represents the best documented<br />
occurrence of Leclercqia outside Laurussia<br />
and possibly the earliest in Gondwana;<br />
it provides evidence that colonization of<br />
Gondwana by the species L. complexa was<br />
45
contemporaneous to that of Siberia and Kazakhstan.<br />
Analysis of the distribution patterns<br />
of L. complexa suggests that it was adapted to<br />
a wide range of environments, but within certain<br />
limits which we hypothesize to be those<br />
of a climatic belt. Such considerations support<br />
previous studies using other biological data,<br />
such as faunas and palynomorphs, for reconstructing<br />
Devonian palaeogeography. They<br />
favour a close proximity of Laurussia and<br />
Gondwana rather than the occurrence of a<br />
wide ocean separating the two palaeocontinents<br />
in Middle Devonian times.<br />

Fossil plants are described from the upper<br />
part of the Devonian Lolen Formation, Sierra<br />
de la Ventana, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina,<br />
in the area of Estancia Las Acacias. The<br />
sequence is composed mainly of dark grey<br />
shales, and fossils were found in a single horizon<br />
where thin inter-layered beds of fine reddish-brown<br />
micaceous sandstones appear<br />
where the environment of marine deposition<br />
became more shallow. The age of the Lolen<br />
Formation is presently established on the basis<br />
of brachiopods, these being characteristic<br />
elements of the Malvinokaffric realm from the<br />
Gondwana Lower Devonian (Emsian). The<br />
fossil plants are remarkably preserved given<br />
that they are in rocks that have undergone intense<br />
deformation. The plants are identified as<br />
Haplostigma sp. and Haskinsia cf. H. colophylla,<br />
and suggest a Middle Devonian age<br />
(Givetian) for the fossil-bearing levels.<br />
Haskinsia, identified on the basis of leaf morphology,<br />
is the first well-delimited Middle<br />
Devonian lycopsid genus described from Argentina,<br />
and the record from the most southerly<br />
palaeolatitude. During the Middle Devonian,<br />
Haskinsia was distributed in tropical,<br />
warm temperate and high southern latitude,<br />
cool temperate zones.<br />

Although there are many reports of fossil<br />
Ephedraceae, whole plant fossil record remains<br />
rare. Due to a lack of trust on partially<br />
preserved fossil materials, scholars working<br />
on molecular clock proposed a recent origin of<br />
Ephedra and cast doubt on the earlier origin<br />
time of Ephedraceae. To better the understanding<br />
on this interesting group, here we<br />
report whole plants of Ephedra hongtaoi sp.<br />
nov. (Ephedraceae, Gnetales) from the Yixian<br />
Formation (Early Cretaceous) in western<br />
Liaoning, China. These whole plants of<br />
Ephedra demonstrate clearly the characters of<br />
Ephedra, including shrubby growth habit, decussate<br />
branching pattern, and terminal ovuliferous<br />
unit with micropylar tube. The wholeplant<br />
preservation of the fossils provides more<br />
convincing fossil evidence of Early Cretaceous<br />
Ephedra, helps to resolve the controversy<br />
over the origin time of Ephedra, and<br />
sheds light on the whole plant morphology,<br />
growth habit, ecology and evolution of<br />
Ephedraceae.<br />

McCarty R. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology,<br />
2009, 156(3-4): 283-306 11 图 版 .<br />
A new species of medullosan ovule,<br />
Pachytesta crenulata, is described from the<br />
latest Atokan–earliest Desmoinesian (early<br />
Moscovian) of Iowa. The ovule is approximately<br />
5.5–6 cm long and 2.4–3 cm wide at<br />
the mid-point with three commissured primary<br />
ribs, three secondary ribs expressed at the<br />
apex, and a large number of sclerotesta ridges<br />
(18–24 between each primary rib-secondary<br />
rib pair), formed from interwoven bands of<br />
fibers. The micropyle, defined by the epidermal<br />
cuticle of the endotesta, is flared at the tip<br />
and triangular in cross section. A collar of<br />
sclerotesta and sarcotesta, 10 mm tall surrounds<br />
the micropyle. The space enclosed by<br />
the collar is a triangular prism, with a primary<br />
rib at each edge and sides approximately<br />
2.3 mm in length. The space between the micropyle<br />
and the sclerotesta–sarcotesta collar<br />
appears to have been filled with thin-walled<br />
endotesta cells. At the ovule apex, lobes of<br />
sarcotesta associated with the primary ribs<br />
partially occlude the top of the collar, forming<br />
a triangular opening with the flared tip of the<br />
micropyle in the center. Pachytesta crenulata<br />
appears most similar to P. composita and P.<br />
illinoensis. All three ovules have tertiary ribs<br />
or ridges and secretory fibers in the sclerotesta;<br />
in both P. illinoensis and P. crenulata a collar<br />
of sclerotesta and sarcotesta surrounds the micropyle.<br />
Based on these similarities, we place<br />
P. crenulata in Taylor's [Taylor, T.N., 1965.<br />
Paleozoic seed studies: a monograph of the<br />
American species of Pachytesta. Palaeontographica,<br />
Stuttgart] P. composita–P. illinoensis<br />
group. The condition of the sclerotesta and<br />
nucellar stalk of P. crenulata may indicate its<br />
developmental stage. Ovules having hollow<br />
fibers in the sclerotesta and nucellar stalks<br />
with a convex profile appear immature relative<br />
to ovules with filled fibers in the sclerotesta<br />
and deeply invaginated nucellar stalks.<br />
Although the pollination and fertilization<br />
status of most P. crenulata ovules remains<br />
equivocal, one mature ovule probably was<br />
pollinated. All of the immature ovules showed<br />
signs of seed predation.<br />

material of a new species of peltasperm affinity,<br />
Comia variformis nov. sp., with a re-<br />
47
markably broad morphological range that<br />
touches on several other Permian taxonomic<br />
groups. It is found in association with material<br />
attributable to the callipterid genus Rhachiphyllum,<br />
in addition to Supaia-like material<br />
and an Autunia fructification, corroborating a<br />
peltasperm affinity.<br />
Palaeogeographic relationships of the morphologies<br />
found in C. variformis and the other<br />
material show strong relationships with North<br />
China and even the Angaran region, suggesting<br />
a migration zone running from the North<br />

Newly collected Rhaetian plant compressions<br />

unipinnate and bipinnate morphologies, indicating<br />
a closer relationship between the genera<br />
Ptilozamites Nathorst 1878 and Ctenozamites<br />
Nathorst 1886 than previously documented.<br />
Cuticle analysis revealed micromorphological<br />
traits typical of simply pinnate P. nilssonii on<br />
bipinnate leaf forms, yet up until the discovery<br />
of this material Ptilozamites has never been<br />
considered bipinnate. In 1886, the genus<br />
Ctenozamites was erected for species similar<br />
in epidermal characters to Ptilozamites, but<br />
presenting a typical bipinnate character, rarely<br />
or never unipinnate. As the new Greenland<br />
material collected from South Tancrediakløft<br />
and Astartekløft have shown, both genera are<br />
now very strongly related anatomically, and<br />
therefore identical from a systematic point of<br />
view. We therefore propose the use of the genus<br />
Ptilozamites as Ctenozamites Nathorst<br />
1886 is a synonym of Ptilozamites Nathorst<br />

Three species of articulated foliage-bearing<br />
shoots of Annularia Sternberg are described<br />
from the Barakar Formation (late Early Permian–late<br />
Artinskian) of the Saharjuri Basin,<br />
eastern peninsular India. Annularia gondwanensis<br />

with branches emerging from a vertical<br />
carbonized axis. The leaves, branches and axis<br />
of A. gondwanensis have preserved cuticles.<br />
Annularia sp. and Annularia kurtzii Archangelsky<br />
are preserved as impressions. The<br />
Annularia species together with diverse<br />
sphenopsids occur in a typical Gondwanan<br />
assemblage dominated by glossopterids. This<br />
late Palaeozoic Euramerian–Cathaysian genus<br />
was earlier known from the Lower Permian of<br />
various region of the Gondwana continent viz.,<br />
Brazil and Argentina in South America, the<br />
Karoo Basin in South Africa and western extra-peninsular<br />
India. Now the biogeographical<br />
range of distribution of Annularia extends up<br />
to the eastern peninsular India in the Gondwana<br />
continent. The palaeoclimate, palaeoecology<br />
of the Saharjuri Basin in eastern<br />
India is discussed considering the records of<br />
diverse sterile and fertile sphenopsids and Annularia<br />

The gigantopterids are a pan-palaeotropical<br />

group with unknown affiliations. Two gigantopterid<br />
species, both sole representatives of<br />
their respective genera, are known from the<br />

Jambi (Sumatra, Indonesia). Through an<br />
emendation of the Jambi gigantopterids, based<br />
on the old and newly collected material, and a<br />
subsequent analysis of the leaf morphology of<br />
several gigantopterid genera, we conclude that<br />
the Jambi species are similar to the other gigantopterids,<br />
but do not appear to be related to<br />
them directly. We propose a possible scenario<br />

Journal of Plant Sciences, 2009,<br />
170(9): 1228-1239<br />
Some Carboniferous seed ferns undergo<br />
extensive secondary growth, with secondary<br />
vascular tissues occupying increased space<br />
within the axis. Mechanisms of accommodating<br />
secondary growth in the stem cortex vary<br />
significantly between different seed ferns and<br />
depend on the degree of secondary growth and<br />
position of secondary tissues relative to the<br />
cortex. Cortical tissue adjacent to the secondary<br />
vascular cylinder is often highly deformed,<br />
whereas primary cortex tissue farther<br />
away from the secondary growth may be less<br />
strained. Developmental patterns of primary<br />
and secondary tissues are observed in two<br />
species of Calamopitys from the Lower Carboniferous<br />
and are compared with patterns of<br />
the Upper Carboniferous "pteridosperm" Lyginopteris<br />
oldhamia. Calamopitys embergeri<br />
and Calamopitys schweitzeri show different<br />
organizations, development, and deformations<br />
of the cortex compared with Lyginopteris. The<br />
main differences include (1) retention of a<br />
massive cortex in relation to the degree of development<br />
of the vascular cambial tissues, (2)<br />
cortical deformation confined to areas around<br />
the periphery of the vascular cylinder rather<br />
than toward the periphery of the stem, and (3)<br />
absence of a discrete periderm layer. Our findings<br />
also indicate that cambial growth in<br />
Calamopitys was capable of producing relatively<br />
large cylinders of vascular tissues<br />
within the primary body without causing a<br />
sloughing of the outer cortex.<br />

Pteridosperms are common in the Permian<br />
floras of China and are known from both<br />
vegetative and fertile organs in adpression<br />
assemblages and as dispersed ovules and<br />
seeds in permineralized assemblages. In contrast,<br />
reports of vegetative organs from permineralized<br />
assemblages are limited, and in all<br />
cases, accounts have not been verified by detailed<br />
descriptions nor illustration. Here we<br />
report four taxa of pteridosperm stem or rachis<br />
from the Permian permineralized floras of<br />
China. Coal balls from the Asselian-<br />
Sakmarian (Cisuralian) Taiyuan Formation are<br />
shown to contain specimens of a medullosan<br />
and a lyginopterid pteridosperm. The medullosan<br />
rachis has a distinctive collateral organization<br />
of vascular bundles interspersed within<br />
a crushed parenchymatous ground tissue that<br />
also has scattered resin ducts, and it is identified<br />
as Myeloxylon Brongniart. The lyginopterid<br />
has a vitalized protostelic stem with<br />
manoxylic secondary xylem and mesarch xylem<br />
maturation and is confirmed as Heterangium<br />
sp. 1. From volcaniclastic tuffs from the<br />
Wujiapingian-Changhsingian (Lopingian)<br />
Xuanwei Formation, a eustelic stem with a<br />
parenchymatous pith surrounded by discrete<br />
primary xylem strands with a large amount of<br />
secondary xylem and a sparganum-type cortex<br />
is attributed to the Callistophytalean Callistophyton<br />
Delevoryas and Morgan. Finally, from<br />
the Changhsingian (Lopingian) Wangjiazhai<br />
Formation, another lyginopterid is documented<br />
that comprises a pair of protostelic<br />
stems with manoxylic secondary xylem and<br />
mesarch xylem maturation and is assigned to<br />
Heterangium sp. 2. Although accounts are<br />
based on low specimen numbers, they provide<br />
unequivocal evidence of vegetative pteridosperm<br />
genera in the Permian of China that<br />
were previously known only from the Pennsylvanian<br />
and earliest Permian of Euramerica.<br />
In this context, they underline the floristic<br />
continuation of wetland plant communities<br />
extending from the Carboniferous of<br />
Euramerica into the Cisuralian-aged peatforming<br />
mires in North China and the Lopingian<br />
of South China. Extending the geographical<br />
and stratigraphical ranges of these<br />
pteridosperm taxa means that each should now<br />
be considered as potentially important to seed<br />
plant evolution and phylogeny during the<br />
Permian as well as the Carboniferous.<br />

on the development of these roots and suggest<br />
that their unique anatomy is the result of a<br />
change in developmental timing. Vertebraria<br />
is characterized by a vascular cambium that<br />
remains discontinuous through several growth<br />
seasons, leading to the formation of lacunae<br />
alternating in cross section with wedges of<br />
secondary vascular tissues. The bifacial nature<br />
of the cambium is confirmed by the presence<br />
of well-developed secondary phloem composed<br />
of longitudinally elongated cells and<br />
uniseriate parenchymatous rays. In some of<br />
the largest specimens, a continuous vascular<br />
cylinder is formed by the differentiation of<br />
cambium from parenchymatous cells bordering<br />
the lacunae. The new specimens provide<br />
additional information on the secondary xylem<br />
anatomy and vascular connection to lateral<br />
roots.<br />

Historically collected specimens of the<br />
Pennsylvanian pteridosperm Eremopteris artemisiaefolia<br />
have been reinvestigated to provide<br />
detailed information on its morphology<br />
and cuticular anatomy and to enable some of<br />
the external features of the plant to be reconstructed.<br />
The stem bore a distal crown of helically<br />
arranged compound leaves that show<br />
evidence they were actively abscissed from<br />
the plant. The blade consists of a main rachis<br />
that is straight or curved and may be undivided<br />
or show a single overtopped or occasionally<br />
dichotomous division. Secondary<br />
foliar segments are once or twice divided,<br />
with ultimate segments consisting of an elongate<br />
lanceolate blade, sometimes with one or<br />
two pairs of suboppositely arranged basal<br />
lobes or subsegments. Dense parallel veins run<br />
along the ultimate segments and only rarely<br />
fork. Stomata occur on both surfaces of the<br />
blade but more densely on the abaxial surface;<br />
papillae surrounded the abaxial stomata but<br />
not the adaxial ones. Remains of platyspermic<br />
bicornute ovules with a commissural rib in the<br />
minor plane are repeatedly associated with the<br />
leaves; these conform to the fossil genus Cornucarpus.<br />
Ovule cuicles include an inner integumentary<br />
cuticle, a nucellar cuticle that is<br />
attached only to the base of the inner integumentary<br />
cuticle, and a seed megaspore membrane.<br />
The nucellar apex comprises a small<br />
pollen chamber and extended nucellar beak<br />
consistent with cardiocarpalean ovules. Ovate<br />
structures on the main rachis and proximal<br />
parts of the secondary rachises are consistent<br />
in size with the ovule chalaza and are interpreted<br />
as the place of ovule attachment. Inclusion<br />
of our reconstruction of E. artemisiaefolia<br />
in a cladistic analysis of lignophytes suggests<br />
that it represents a distinct clade within a<br />
paraphyletic complex of basal pteridosperms<br />
and that it diverges after hydrasperman and<br />
medullosalean taxa and before the Callistophytales.<br />
The family Cornucarpaceae is redefined<br />
for this clade.<br />

Auritifolia waggoneri gen. et sp. nov. has<br />
compound leaves and is possibly a peltasperm,<br />
with venation similar to Comia Zalessky. The<br />
frond is once pinnate, >40 cm in length, with a<br />
short petiole, subopposite pinnae, increasing<br />
in size distally, terminating in two elongate<br />
pinnae. The petiole base is swollen. Fronds<br />
probably abscised upon senescence. Venation<br />
is three ordered, each higher order of progressively<br />
smaller diameter. Pinna midveins arise<br />
from the main rachis and give rise to secondary<br />
veins. Two types of tertiary veins are<br />
present. One type arises from the secondaries<br />
and forms fascicles; the other type is interfascicular<br />
and arises directly from pinna midveins.<br />
All tertiaries are of the same diameter.<br />
Tertiary veins dichotomize, anastomose, and<br />
may terminate in blind endings, so not all ex-<br />
50
tend to the laminar margin. Laminae are amphistomatic.<br />
Monocyclic stoma are surrounded<br />
by five to six subsidiary cells. Epidermis<br />
and palisade parenchyma are uniseriate.<br />
Auritifolia is most similar to Comia in which<br />
the tertiaries lack anastomoses and blind endings<br />
and terminate at the laminar margin. The<br />
leaf architecture of Auritifolia differs significantly<br />
from that of Comia. (Russian and Chinese<br />

Comia is a widespread foliage morphogenus<br />
of probable seed plant affinity primarily<br />
known from rocks of Late Permian age, in the<br />
Angaran and Cathaysian paleobiogeographic<br />
regions. It also occurs in the Early Permian of<br />
the western Euramerican equatorial paleobiogeographic<br />
region. Vegetative features and<br />
consistent association with peltaspermous reproductive<br />
organs suggest affinity with the<br />
Peltaspermales. New material from northcentral<br />
Texas allows two new species to be<br />
attributed to this genus, Comia greggii and<br />
Comia craddockii. Both species are uncommon<br />
elements of the Early Permian ( Leonardian-Artinskian)<br />
flora. They exhibit a diagnostic<br />
form of venation typical of Comia<br />
and allied forms, in which the tertiary veins<br />
form fascicles and interfascicular groups. Ultimate<br />
veins extend from their insertion point<br />
to the laminar margin, usually with one dichotomy.<br />
They neither anastomose nor terminate<br />
in blind endings. In gross architecture, C.<br />
craddockii is once pinnate. The morphology of<br />
the frond of C. greggii is not known. The<br />
much wider, more finely veined laminae of C.<br />
greggii are clearly distinguishable from the<br />
narrow pinnules with coarser venation of C.<br />
craddockii. ( Russian and Chinese translations<br />

Phylloclades from the Upper Permian<br />

Vladimir Region, showing gradational transformation<br />
of a planate scale-leaved shoot into<br />
a foliar organ, are assigned to the new genus<br />
Permophyllocladus (Peltaspermales). The<br />
phylloclades are distinctly dorsoventral: scaly<br />
leaves and their rudiments are developed on<br />
the lower side and are only marked by suture<br />
lines on the cuticle of the opposite side. In<br />
epidermal characteristics, the phylloclades are<br />
51
similar to the leaves of peltasperms from coeval<br />
deposits. It is supposed that peltasperm<br />
leaves are of phylloclade origin and were<br />
formed by cohesion of units of a coniferoid<br />
scale-leaved shoot that resembles shoots of the<br />
Mesozoic family Hirmerellaceae (Cheirolepidiaceae),<br />
which also tend to develop phylloclades.<br />

This paper provides a whole plant concept<br />
for a new species, Emporia cryptica sp. nov.<br />
Hernandez-Castillo, Stockey, Rothwell &<br />
Mapes (Emporiaceae: Voltziales), the fourth<br />
conifer to be reconstructed from the rich fossil<br />
biota at the Late Pennsylvanian, Hamilton<br />
Quarry, Kansas. E. cryptica has an orthotropic<br />
stem, lateral plagiotropic branches with simple<br />
leaves, simple pollen cones, and compound<br />
ovulate cones. Branches have an endarch eustele<br />
with dense wood surrounding a parenchymatous<br />
pith with sclerotic nests/plates, and<br />
secondary xylem tracheids with multiseriate<br />
hexagonal bordered pits. Leaves on both penultimate<br />
and ultimate branches are simple<br />
and amphistomatic with two adaxial stomatal<br />
bands, monocyclic and dicyclic stomata, and<br />
two narrow abaxial rows of stomata with numerous<br />
trichome bases. Pollen cones are simple<br />
with helically arranged microsporophylls<br />
and adaxial pollen sacs. Prepollen is monolete,<br />
eusaccate, and monosaccate (Potonieisporites<br />
Bharadwaj). Ovulate cones are compound<br />
with bilaterally symmetrical dwarf shoots in<br />
the axils of helically arranged forked bracts.<br />
Axillary dwarf shoots bear numerous sterile<br />
scales interspersed with two megasporophylls,<br />
each bearing a single inverted terminal ovule.<br />
This plant displays morphological and cuticular<br />
characters similar to several morphogenera<br />
of Paleozoic walchian conifers but is most<br />
comparable to the fossil plant species Emporia<br />
lockardii and Hanskerpia hamiltonensis. E.<br />
cryptica is the only walchian conifer where<br />
ovules and seeds with megagametophytes,<br />
immature embryos and mature embryos have<br />
been documented, demonstrating that the most<br />
ancient conifers possessed seed dormancy and<br />
polycotyledonary embryos. This reproductive<br />
biology is similar to that of many Mesozoic<br />
and extant conifers with saccate pollen except<br />
for the presence of prepollen grains that are<br />
common among Paleozoic walchian conifers.<br />

Strap-shaped foliage previously assigned to<br />
Nilssonia ex. gr. schaumburgensis is redescribed<br />
as Nilssoniopteris oishii sp. nov.,<br />
based on structurally preserved foliage from<br />
the Barremian Arida Formation in Yuasa District,<br />
Wakayama Prefecture, southwest Japan.<br />
The newly assigned bennettitalean affinity of<br />
the fossil was confirmed with its cuticular<br />
morphology exhibiting paracytic (syndetocheilic)<br />
stomata, and rachis anatomy. Rachis<br />
vascular bundles are basically arranged in a<br />
circular form, which is dissected at both lateral<br />
sides for the pinna trace departure. This<br />
vascular configuration is similar to those of<br />
other bennettitalean genera and different from<br />
inverted-omega-shaped or C-shaped vascular<br />
configuration in the Cycadales. N. oishii is<br />
most abundantly found in the Ryoseki-type<br />
fossil assemblages which flourished under the<br />
dry conditions. This study clears the discrepancy<br />
between the abundance of “Nilssonia ex.<br />
gr. schaumburgensis” under dry climates and<br />
the general climatic preference of Nilssonia<br />
species to humid conditions.<br />

The cheirolepidiaceous conifer Pseudofrenelopsis<br />
dalatzensis from the Lower Cretaceous<br />
Dalazi Formation, Jilin Province,<br />
Northeast China is studied in detail based on<br />
abundant material. The gross morphology of<br />
vegetative shoots shows a greater variation<br />
than previously known. Additional information<br />
of microstructure is that the adaxial cuticle<br />
from the free part of leaves is also papillate<br />
as the abaxial cuticle. The excellent preservation<br />
of cuticles allows for the first time in this<br />
family to four distinct types of cuticle in ultrastructural<br />
level: subsidiary cells, guard cells,<br />
epidermal cells with and without papillae.<br />
Based on 30 measurements the statistic approach<br />
on each type of cell cuticle, i.e. not<br />
only the total thickness of the cuticle but also<br />
details and proportions of all different layers.<br />
A key is provided using a combination of 7<br />
significant ultrastructural characters. These<br />
results seem to be very promising for the identity<br />
of each taxon within the Cheirolepidiaceae<br />
family. The cuticular ultrastructure of this<br />
family is characterized by having a cuticle<br />
proper A composed of A1 wavy polylamellate<br />
layer and A2 granular layer, above the cuticular<br />
layer B with B1 fibrillate and B2 granular<br />
layers. The importance of ultrastructural characters<br />
at different levels of taxonomy and palaeoecology<br />
is also discussed.<br />

The Antarcticycas plant is reconstructed<br />
from the co-occurring vegetative organ taxa<br />
Antarcticycas schopfii and Yelchophyllum<br />
omegapetiolaris and the pollen cone taxon<br />
Delemaya spinulosa from permineralized peat<br />
of the Fremouw Formation, early Middle Triassic<br />
of Antarctica. The association of the organs<br />
in the same deposit, assignment of each<br />
taxon to Cycadales, and histological features<br />
shared among the taxa suggest they were all<br />
produced by the same plant. The Antarcticycas<br />
plant is reconstructed as a small plant,<br />
possibly with a subterranean stem; it was<br />
probably similar in habit to small-stemmed<br />
species of extant Zamia. Antarcticycas stems<br />
are inferred to exhibit apical rather than axillary<br />
branching based on reinterpretation of<br />
type material that shows a branching axis accompanied<br />
by anatomy indicative of the presence<br />
of cone domes when observed in extant<br />
cycads. The presence of a bulbil on one<br />
specimen indicates that branching also took<br />
place through adventitious budding. The Antarcticycas<br />
plant is similar in its anatomy to<br />
extant cycads, although contractile tissue and<br />
coralloid roots have yet to be identified and<br />
may not have been present in the fossil plant.<br />
The plant inhabited a warm temperate polar<br />
habitat with protracted periods of winter darkness<br />
for which there is no modern equivalent.<br />
Evidence for deciduousness in this taxon, previously<br />
suggested as a possible adaptation to<br />
its warm, light-limited environment, is<br />
equivocal. The possibilities that fire played a<br />
role in the Fremouw peat ecosystem and that<br />
the Antarcticycas plant may have been insect<br />
pollinated are explored.<br />

We present a range-wide synthesis of our<br />
own research and related work on the complex<br />
postglacial history of Abies alba Mill. It is<br />
based on macroremains, fossil pollen records<br />
as well as on different genetic markers. The<br />
geographic distribution of genetic lineages and<br />
allele frequencies together with the fossil records<br />
confirm multiple refugia with at least<br />
three of them being sources for the Holocene<br />
range expansion into Central Europe, representing<br />
so-called effective refugia. One is located<br />
in the northern Apennines. A long-term<br />
refugium in the southern Balkans contributes<br />
to northward expansion with a branch along<br />
53
the Carpathians in the East and the Dinaric<br />
Alps in the West. Furthermore, new allozyme<br />
data indicate a third effective refugium in the<br />
northern or western Balkans, respectively. Using<br />
different genetic marker categories the<br />
differentiation of A. alba populations could be<br />
attributed to different time scales. A separation<br />
of maternal lineages took place in previous<br />
glacial cycles of the Quaternary, while a<br />
second pattern of genetic differentiation is the<br />
result of isolation processes during the last<br />
glaciation and subsequent gene flow after<br />
range expansion. Suture and introgression<br />
zones of refugial gene pools were clearly recognised.<br />
The patterns of genetic variation and<br />
genetic diversity spanning between rear and<br />
leading edges of the present range are discussed<br />
for evolutionary implications and conservation<br />
strategies.<br />

Fossil remains of Taxodium from upper Eocene<br />

to reconsider taxonomic concepts. It is<br />
demonstrated that all material belongs to one<br />
species which is named Taxodium dubium<br />
(Sternberg) Heer emend. Using the wholeplant<br />
concept, T. dubium is considered as a<br />
synthetic species comprising foliage, seed<br />
cones, seeds, and male cones with pollen in<br />
situ. Shared identity of T. dubium and the<br />
wood morpho-taxon Taxodioxylon taxodii<br />
Gothan is assumed. Taxodium dubium underwent<br />
evolutionary changes through the Oligocene<br />
expressed mainly in changes of the cone<br />
scale ornamentation. To designate this intraspecific<br />
variation taxonomically two morphoformae<br />
are distinguished: T. dubium forma<br />
heerii (Dorofeev) Kunzmann, Kvaček, Mai et<br />
Walther stat. nov. et emend. and T. dubium<br />
forma dubium. Simultaneous intraspecific<br />
variations in leaf morphology and leaf epidermal<br />
anatomy are missing. Taxodium<br />
dubium occurs from the late Eocene to late<br />
Miocene in the (Atlantic-) Boreal province<br />
sensu Mai of Central Europe and from the late<br />
Oligocene to late Pliocene in the Transeuropean<br />
Paratethys province sensu Mai.<br />

The Bennettitales are a Mesozoic group of<br />
gymnosperms with complex reproductive organs<br />
that figure prominently in hypotheses on<br />
the ancestry and origin of angiosperms. However,<br />
the exact phylogenetic position of the<br />
Bennettitales is still debated, due in part to the<br />
scarcity of conclusive fertile remains from the<br />
Triassic. In this study we reconstruct a bennettitalean<br />

scale leaves, Haitingeria krasseri pollen organs,<br />
and Bennetticarpus wettsteinii ovulate<br />
organs/seed cones, based on correspondences<br />
in gross morphology and epidermal anatomy.<br />
The flower has small pollen organs with<br />
54
spreading and well-exposed pollen sacs; pollen<br />
sacs are not organised in synangia, and the<br />
ovulate organ is characterised by a low number<br />
of relatively large seeds and a large number<br />
of interseminal scales in relation to<br />
ovules/seeds. The flower lacks several of the<br />
characteristic features seen in geologically<br />
younger bennettitaleans, including fused, inwardly<br />
curved pollen organs and large number<br />
of small seeds. The association of these isolated<br />
organs to a single flower provides a rare<br />
opportunity to assess the attribution of these<br />
early representative of the Bennettitales, and<br />
sheds new light on the evolutionary history<br />
and phylogenetic position of this ancient<br />
group of seed plants.<br />

Geinitzia reichenbachii 和 Sedites rabenhorstii(<br />

及 描 述 = Geinitzia reichenbachii (Geinitz,<br />

rabenhorstii Geinitz, 1842 (Pinopsida; Late<br />
Cretaceous) reconsidered and redescribed. ( 英<br />

Two conifer species from the Upper Turonian<br />
of the Saxonian and North Bohemian<br />
parts of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin are<br />
redescribed using the type specimens and additional<br />
material from the type horizon. In<br />
both cases characters of the gross-morphology<br />
of foliage shoots and leaf epidermal cell structure<br />
observed by LM and SEM are studied.<br />
Geinitzia reichenbachii is characterized by<br />
uniform falcate leaves that spread abruptly<br />
from the axis. They are 4-sided in cross section<br />
and have slightly decurrent leaf bases and<br />
a single central resin canal. The amphistomatic<br />
leaves show adaxially two properly<br />
developed stomatal bands with densely<br />
arranged stomata and abaxially two stomatal<br />
bands repeatedly interrupted. The apertures of<br />
the usually incomplete amphicyclic stomatal<br />
apparati are randomly orientated relative to<br />
the long leaf axis, but oblique and transversal<br />
orientation prevails. G. reichenbachii is typified<br />
by a neotype and an emended diagnosis is<br />
given. Based on detailed comparison to Geinitzia<br />
formosa from the Santonian of<br />
Quedlinburg, Germany, G. reichenbachii is<br />
assigned to Geinitzia Endlicher, 1847 which is<br />
considered a natural genus of extinct conifers<br />
and type of the Geinitziaceae. This application<br />
becomes legitimate because the conservation<br />
of the name Geinitzia has been proposed recently<br />
by Zijlstra et al. (2010). Sedites rabenhorstii<br />
is only known from two small specimens<br />
representing ultimate shoots. It is proved<br />
that it is a fossil conifer completely distinct<br />
from G. reichenbachii. S. rabenhorstii shows<br />
epidermal cell characters that have been hitherto<br />
described from the genus Glenrosa, a putative<br />
Cheirolepidiaceae. S. rabenhorstii differs<br />
from Glenrosa in leaf phyllotaxis. The<br />
leaves are arranged in four rows, probably in<br />
opposite pairs in decussate phyllotaxis. The<br />
free leaf part is spreading, straight, triangular<br />
in cross section and has an obtuse apex. The<br />
leaf base is decurrent. The leaves are amphistomatic<br />
with stomata deeply sunken in<br />
communal stomatal chambers containing finger-like<br />
processes or trichome papillae across<br />
the opening. In conclusion, Sedites is maintained<br />
as a morpho-genus for fossil conifers<br />
and an emended generic diagnosis is given.<br />

Pinus prekesiya Xing, Liu et Zhou sp. nov.<br />
was described as a new species on the basis of<br />
two well preserved ovulate cones from the<br />
upper Miocene of central Yunnan, southwestern<br />
China. It is the first fossil record of three<br />
dimensionally preserved Pinus ovulate cones<br />
from China. Morphological comparisons with<br />
15 previously published Cenozoic cones and<br />
seven related extant pine species reveal that<br />
the fossil cones are identified as a new species,<br />
P. prekesiya sp. nov., which belongs to subsection<br />
Pinus of subgenus Pinus. The new<br />
species shows a combination of characters of<br />
P. kesiya and P. yunnanensis, but has a closer<br />
affinity with P. kesiya which occurs in the<br />
humid region of Yunnan and therefore suggests<br />
a more humid climate in central Yunnan<br />
during the late Miocene than today. The general<br />
cooling trend during the late Neogene and<br />
topographic change due to the dramatic Tibetan<br />
uplift might have caused a vicariant origin<br />
of P. kesiya and P. yunnanensis from the<br />
ancestral P. prekesiya.<br />

The genus Czekanowskia is an important<br />
member of the Mesozoic flora and is widespread<br />
in the Northern Hemisphere. In China,<br />
it is found mostly in Late Triassic and Early<br />
and Middle Jurassic sediments of North China.<br />
With the exception of a few specimens, all the<br />
reports of this genus from China have been<br />
based on gross leaf morphology. Abundant<br />
Czekanowskia leaves, preserved as compression<br />
fossils, were collected from the Middle<br />
Jurassic, Zhaogou Formation of Inner Mongolia,<br />
China. In this article, two subgenera of<br />
Czekanowskia, Harrisella and Vachrameevia,<br />
are recognized from Inner Mongolia, China,<br />
on the basis of leaf morphology and epidermal<br />
characters. Two new species, Czekanowskia<br />
chinensis sp. nov. (subg. Harrisella) and<br />
Czekanowskia shiguaiensis sp. nov. (subg.<br />
Vachrameevia), are described. The occurrence<br />
of these species in the Middle Jurassic of Inner<br />
Mongolia significantly extends the stratigraphic<br />
and geographic distribution of Czekanowskia<br />
in the Northern Hemisphere. Analysis<br />
of the epidermal characters of material presented<br />
here along with consideration of other<br />
associated plants of the flora and sedimentology<br />
of the plant-bearing strata suggests that<br />
the two species described in this report grew<br />
in an area with a warm and humid climate in a<br />
warm temperate zone. Biostratigraphic correlation<br />
of the plant-bearing strata indicates that<br />
the specimens described here are Middle Jurassic<br />
in age.<br />

A new species of extinct conifer plants,<br />
Emporia royalii sp. nov. Hernandez-Castillo,<br />
Stockey, Mapes et Rothwell (Emporiaceae:<br />
Voltziales), is described from the rich fossil<br />
biota of the Late Pennsylvanian, Hamilton<br />
Quarry, Kansas. This conifer has lateral plagiotropic<br />
branches with simple and forked<br />
leaves, "age-dependent heterophylly," simple<br />
pollen cones, and compound ovulate cones.<br />
Stems have an endarch eustele, dense wood,<br />
and secretory cells arranged in nests or plates<br />
in the pith. Leaves are amphistomatic with<br />
two adaxial stomatal bands and two longitudinal<br />
abaxial rows of stomata with numerous<br />
trichome bases. Pollen cones are simple and<br />
have helically arranged microsporophylls with<br />
adaxial pollen sacs. Prepollen is monolete and<br />
monosaccate (Potonieisporites Bharadwaj).<br />
Ovulate cones are compound with bilaterally<br />
symmetrical axillary dwarf shoots that bear up<br />
to 45 sterile scales and 1-2 sporophylls and<br />
occur in the axils of helically arranged bracts<br />
with forked tips. Ovules are inverted and<br />
winged and resemble those of Emporia<br />
lockardii and Emporia cryptica. Emporia<br />
royalii is compared to other Euramerican walchian<br />
Voltziales, and a summary of the Emporiaceae<br />
and evolution of Paleozoic conifers is<br />
given. This is the fifth species of extinct conifer<br />
plants to be reconstructed from the Hamilton<br />
Quarry, making it the only Paleozoic locality<br />
in the world with numerous conifers all<br />
of which have been characterized as complete<br />
or nearly complete plants.<br />

A new plant concept for the extinct conifer<br />
species Emporia lockardii (Mapes & Rothwell)<br />
Mapes & Rothwell (Emporiaceae) is developed<br />
from fossils collected at the Late Pennsylvanian<br />
Hamilton Quarry, Kansas. Emporia<br />
lockardii has lateral plagiotropic branches<br />
with simple and forked leaves, simple pollen<br />
cones, and compound ovulate cones. Stems<br />
have an endarch eustele with dense wood surrounding<br />
a septate pith. Leaves display position-dependent<br />
heterophylly with forked<br />
leaves on penultimate shoots and simple<br />
leaves on ultimate shoots. All leaves are amphistomatic<br />
with two stomatal bands and<br />
papillate epidermal cells on the adaxial surface<br />
and two basal stomatal bands and numerous<br />
trichome bases on the abaxial surface.<br />
Pollen cones are simple and have helically<br />
arranged microsporophylls and adaxial pollen<br />
sacs. Prepollen is monolete and monosaccate,<br />
56
and it conforms to the sporae dispersae genus<br />
Potonieisporites Bharadwaj. Ovulate cones are<br />
compound with helically arranged, forked<br />
bracts that subtend bilaterally symmetrical,<br />
axillary dwarf shoots with one to three narrow<br />
megasporophylls interspersed among numerous<br />
sterile scales. Ovules are terminal, inverted,<br />
and bilaterally symmetrical. This new<br />
reconstruction together with additional conifer<br />
reconstructions from the Hamilton Quarry locality<br />
indicate that the genus Emporia has a<br />
particularly high species diversity for walchian<br />
conifers. These findings support previous<br />
hypotheses that propose drier habitats as<br />
sites for the first appearances of plants that<br />
become dominant during the late Permian and<br />
Mesozoic.<br />

Journal of Plant Sciences, 2009, 170(7):<br />
951-967<br />
The third of three whole-plant cordaitaleans<br />
we reconstructed from a single Early Permian<br />
locality in northern China is Shanxioxylon<br />
taiyuanense. The name is based on the stem S.<br />
taiyuanense B. Tian & S.-J. Wang emend. S.-J.<br />
Wang & J. Hilton, which has a large septate<br />
pith and endarch cauline bundles that generate<br />
mesarch leaf traces that dichotomize at the<br />
pith margin. The comparatively small, elongate<br />
leaves with few veins and thickened margins<br />
are assigned to Cordaites taiyuanensis S.-<br />
J. Wang & B. Tian emend. S.-J. Wang and J.<br />
Hilton, which is here nomenclaturally typified<br />
after a previous invalid publication. Fertile<br />
axes are diamond shaped in transverse section,<br />
bearing in a tetrastichous arrangement numerous<br />
bracts and secondary shoots that consist of<br />
basal leaflike sterile scales and apically concentrated<br />
fertile scales. Male cones of Cordaitanthus<br />
ximinensis S.-J. Wang & B. Tian consist<br />
of 20-30 sterile scales and an unknown<br />
number of fertile scales that produce pollen<br />
assignable to Florinites. Female cones of Cordaitanthus<br />
xishanensis S.-J. Wang & B. Tian<br />
consist of 30-35 sterile scales and 5-10 fertile<br />
scales that bear ovules of Cardiocarpus taiyuanensis<br />
J. Hilton, S.-J. Wang,& B. Tian, the<br />
smallest species described in this ovule genus.<br />
The correlation of these constituent organ species<br />
into a whole-plant species received little<br />
assistance from organic connection, which<br />
was confined to only one equivocal physical<br />
attachment between the pollen cone C. xishanensis<br />
and the ovule Cardiocarpus taiyuanensis.<br />
The presence of sclerenchyma<br />
strands allows histological correlation between<br />
the leaf species Cordaites taiyuanensis<br />
and the sterile scales of both the pollen cone<br />
and the ovulate cone. Positive association<br />
among the constituent organ species within<br />
the deposits also offers limited support for this<br />
reconstruction, as the individual organ species,<br />
other than leaves, are insufficiently frequent to<br />
allow statistical analysis. Thus, the reconstruction<br />
of S. taiyuanense relies partly on previous<br />
successes-specifically, better-supported reconstructions<br />
of two conceptual whole-plant cordaitaleans<br />
co-occurring at the locality, Shanxioxylon<br />
sinense and Cordaixylon tianii-and<br />
partly on the characteristically poor preservation<br />
of the components of S. taiyuanense,<br />
which are assumed to have been transported<br />
into the depositional environment from a drier<br />
environment of growth. The three whole-plant<br />
cordaitaleans are compared for the rigor of<br />
their respective reconstructions, and nomenclatural<br />
consistency is achieved by describing<br />
the leaves of S. sinense as a new organ species,<br />

From a single Early Permian locality in the<br />
Taiyuan Formation of northern China, a new<br />
whole-plant cordaitalean is reconstructed and<br />
named Cordaixylon tianii ( B. Tian and S.-J.<br />
Wang) S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov. The<br />
reconstruction is based on pairs of plant organs<br />
found in organic attachment, supplemented<br />
with cases where two or more cooccurring<br />
morphospecies share distinctive<br />
anatomical features. Stems have sympodial<br />
primary vascular architecture with endarch<br />
primary xylem maturation of the cauline bundles,<br />
which surround a septate pith. Leaf<br />
traces are endarch, most diverging from the<br />
pithmargin as double bundles ( less frequently<br />
singly) and bearing leaves in 3/8 and 5/13<br />
phyllotaxis. Leaves are long and straplike,<br />
resembling those of the previously recon-<br />
57
structed Cordaixylon dumusum Rothwell and<br />
S. Warner, but with a geniculate posture that<br />
justifies their segregation as Cordaites tianii<br />
S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov. Both male<br />
and female cones are compound, borne irregularly<br />
as epicormic branches, and when isolated<br />
conform to the morphogenus Cordaitanthus.<br />
Pollen cones with numerous pollen organs<br />
borne on apically concentrated fertile scales<br />
are largely consistent with the morphospecies<br />
Cordaitanthus concinnus Delevoryas, but subtle<br />
distinctions permit their description as C.<br />
tianii S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov. Ovulate<br />
cones are described as Cordaitanthus<br />
shanxiensis S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov.;<br />
each cone contains several cardiocarpalean<br />
ovules that have a distinctive tuberculate integumentary<br />
structure and are assignable to<br />
the morphospecies Cardiocarpus tuberculatus<br />
S.-J. Wang, J. Hilton, and B. Tian. The reconstructed<br />
plant most closely resembles C. dumusum<br />
from the Late Pennsylvanian of North<br />
America, but (often subtle) diagnostic characters<br />
are well distributed across the organs of<br />
the two conceptual whole plants, permitting<br />
confident distinction at species level. The<br />
plant is reconstructed as a large, suberect or<br />
fully erect shrub.<br />

The pollen morphology and ultrastructure<br />
of Cycas micholitzii, C. simplicipinna, Cycandra<br />

Ginkgo biloba are studied. Pollen germination<br />
is also studied in C. mexicana and G. biloba.<br />
Although dehydrated pollen grains appear<br />
monosulcate, the study of hydrated pollen<br />
shows that the aperture occupies nearly half of<br />
the pollen surface and represents a pore rather<br />
than a sulcus. In the Ginkgoales, the inaperturate<br />
ectexine is characterized by a thick solid<br />
tectum, infratectum of columella-like elements<br />
or large granules, and distinct foot layer. On<br />
the contrary, in the Cycadales, the ectexine<br />
consists of a thin tectum, alveolar infratectum,<br />
and poorly discernable foot layer. Members of<br />
the Ginkgoales have a distinct distal aperture,<br />
which is constituted by an intine, endexine,<br />
and thin ectexine. In the modern Cycadales, an<br />
ectexine is well developed throughout the pollen<br />
perimeter; in the supposed aperture region<br />
the ectexine is not reduced in thickness, although<br />
it is characterized by a thinner tectum<br />
and thinner walls of infratectal alveoli. In Cycandra<br />
profusa, no unequivocal aperture region<br />
has been found. Thickened regions were<br />
observed in the intine of both the Cycadales<br />

This paper deals with the Late Paleozoic<br />
phase of the evolution of the ginkgophytes<br />
(gymnosperms attributed to the order Ginkgoales).<br />
New genera and species of Permian<br />
gymnosperms are erected that are more or less<br />
confidently related to the Ginkgoales or belong<br />
to ancestral (for this order) pteridosperms<br />
with foliar seed-bearing organs: Cheirocladus<br />
longicheirus Naugolnykh, gen. et sp. nov. and<br />
Psygmophyllodendron uralensis Naugolnykh,<br />
59
gen. et sp. nov. A new family, Cheirocladaceae<br />
Naugolnykh, fam. nov., uniting gymnosperms<br />
with weakly modified foliar seedbearing<br />
systems is proposed. The extended<br />
diagnosis of the family Psygmophyllaceae<br />
Zalessky emend. Naugolnykh, emend. nov. is<br />
provided. The extensive study of additional<br />
new material allowed the author to describe<br />
the morphology of Biarmopteris pulchra Zalessky<br />
(Cheirocladaceae), Psygmophyllum<br />
expansum (Brongniart) Schimper, and P. cuneifolium<br />
(Kutorga) Schimper (Psygmophyllaceae).<br />
Racemose aggregations of seeds of<br />
Karkenia sp. (Karkeniaceae), the oldest reliable<br />
record of Karkenia Archangelsky, are<br />
characterized. The typology of foliar seedbearing<br />
organs of early ginkgophytes and<br />
morphogenetic transformations of the leaves<br />
of ginkgophytes are discussed.<br />

of advanced and primitive features:<br />
mixed opposite-alternate branching of vegetative<br />

Nystroemiaceae is proposed as a new family<br />
of gymnosperms from the Permian of Ca-<br />
60
thaysia that adds to the diversity of gymnosperms<br />
known from this critical time in seed<br />
plant evolution. This family is characterized<br />
by bifurcating and highly branched pinnate<br />
ovuliferous organs bearing bicornute ovules<br />
(seeds) and entire leaves with anastomozing<br />
veins that are born on complex and modernlooking<br />
branching systems with clear axillary<br />
branching. The reconstruction is based on numerous<br />
large specimens from two localities in<br />
North China, in which the different plant parts<br />
are attached to each other. The ovulate structures<br />
show some apparently plesiomorphic<br />
(primitive) character states more typical of<br />
early seed plants, whereas the leaves and<br />
branches show the clearly apomorphic (derived)<br />
character states of broad-leaved gymnosperms.<br />

Cretaceous fossil wood assemblages provide<br />
important evidence about the early evolution<br />
of angiosperms. However, the utility of<br />
these fossils is limited by two systematic problems:<br />
morphotaxa are generally over-split and<br />
in many cases cannot be securely assigned to<br />
extant families or orders. To address these<br />
problems we employed a 16-character Principal<br />
Component Analysis (PCA) to critically<br />
assess fossil wood systematics and investigate<br />
family/order affinity. In the first part of our<br />
study, we analyzed a large dataset of woods<br />
from extant trees. This served as a test of the<br />
PCA method, demonstrating a capability for<br />
clustering specimens into natural groups at<br />
species, genus, and to a more limited extent,<br />
family/order level. Having confirmed the validity<br />
of our approach, we then applied it to<br />
mid-Cretaceous fossil woods of icacinoid/platanoid<br />
and phyllanthoid types. Our<br />
PCAs support the distinctiveness of these<br />
groups, and most morphogeneric concepts<br />
contained therein, but raise significant questions<br />
about the uniqueness of many morphospecies.<br />
In particular, analyses highlight<br />
intra-specific variability as a major problem in<br />
delineating morphospecies and confirm suspicions<br />
that many taxa are over-split. Comparison<br />
of fossil specimens with extant structural<br />
and phylogenetic analogues also allows the<br />
probable affinity of morphotaxa to be assessed.<br />
Among the taxa analyzed, Cretaceous icacinoid/platanoid<br />
woods are similar to members<br />
of the Icacinaceae and Platanaceae, respectively,<br />
but an affinity with the Chloranthaceae<br />
or some other basal groups cannot be ruled out.<br />
In contrast, phyllanthoid fossil woods may be<br />
associated with magnoliid stem of the Laurales<br />
and Magnoliales. We argue that our PCA<br />
methodology offers a more rigorous and repeatable<br />
approach to fossil angiosperm wood<br />
systematics compared to those used in earlier<br />
studies.<br />

350-357<br />
The aim of this study was to find evidence<br />
of Holocene hybridisation between downy<br />
birch (Betula pubescens) and dwarf birch (B.<br />
nana) in Iceland. We measured Betula pollen<br />
from an early Holocene peat profile from<br />
Hella in Eyjafjördur, mid-northern Iceland,<br />
with 39 samples taken at ca. 100-yr intervals<br />
between ca. 10.3 and 7.0 cal. ka BP based on<br />
known tephra layers. Species proportions were<br />
estimated and compared with data on presentday<br />
birch pollen. We found that Betula pollen<br />
from old samples prepared in glycerol was<br />
larger than the pollen in parallel samples<br />
mounted in silicon oil by a factor of 1.2 to 1.6,<br />
depending on the age of the peat. Therefore<br />
the analysis of Hella peat profile was entirely<br />
based on size frequency distribution within<br />
samples. The size frequency distribution of<br />
Betula pollen changed throughout the profile.<br />
In all samples, two normal curves with different<br />
means gave good fit to the observed fre-<br />
62
quency distribution, which denoted small pollen<br />
of B. nana and large pollen of B. pubescens.<br />
A low proportion of B. pubescens pollen<br />
was found in the oldest peat samples and<br />
again around 7.8 cal. ka BP, when B. nana<br />
predominated. The proportion of B. pubescens<br />
pollen peaked approximately at 8.7 and 7.2 cal.<br />
ka BP. Evidence of Betula hybrids was found<br />
in several samples, especially simultaneously<br />
with the earlier B. pubescens peak. Pollen with<br />
low D/P ratios (hybrid pollen) was found at<br />
different frequencies throughout the profile.<br />
Non-triporate Betula pollen grains, which are<br />
frequent among present-day triploid hybrids,<br />
were observed in most samples. The frequency<br />
of non-triporate pollen in a period between<br />
9.2 and 8.7 cal. ka BP far exceeded the<br />
average level produced by the present-day<br />
triploid hybrids. Climatic and ecological conditions<br />
may have favoured hybridisation of<br />
birch species during the expansion of downy<br />
birch over dwarf birch colonies in warm periods.<br />

Recent investigations of mid-Pliocene Citronelle<br />
Formation sites and a Pleistocene terrace<br />
deposit in southwestern Alabama have<br />
yielded fossils of the Betulaceae. Trullate<br />
(shield-shaped) leaves with evenly spaced,<br />
craspedodromous secondary veins and distinctively<br />
serrated margins indicate that Betula<br />
nigra was part of the Gulf Coast vegetation<br />
for at least the last three million years. This<br />
determination is supported by the presence of<br />
small, membranous-winged fruits and a trilobed<br />
catkin bract. Previous reports of a supposed<br />
ancestral species, B. prenigra, from the<br />
Citronelle Formation are reconsidered in light<br />
of the present findings and rejected. Oblong/ovate<br />
leaves with craspedodromous secondary<br />
veins, serrated margins, and<br />
acute/acuminate apices from the Citronelle<br />
Formation are assigned to Carpinus caroliniana.<br />
A characteristic nutlet bract of<br />
Carpinus was previously described from this<br />
formation, and here a staminate catkin with<br />
typical Carpinus-like bracts and in situ pollen<br />
provides additional support. A nutlet bract<br />
from the Pleistocene site confirms that C.<br />
caroliniana has been consistently present in<br />
this region. Some leaves suggestive of Ostrya<br />
were found but their identification is inconclusive.<br />
All sites produce Alnus pollen but no<br />
macrofossils were found. Of the ten species of<br />
Betulaceae in the southeastern United States<br />
today, only Alnus serrulata, Betula nigra,<br />
Carpinus caroliniana, and Ostrya virginiana<br />
frequent the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Plain.<br />
Our findings confirm that Betula nigra and<br />
Carpinus caroliniana were clearly established<br />
in the area by the mid-Pliocene and persisted<br />
to the recent, probably due to regional climatic<br />
stability.<br />

Eight fossil leaves identified as Exbucklandia<br />
tengchongensis sp. nov. (Hamamelidaceae)<br />
were collected from the Pliocene Mangbang<br />
Formation in Tengchong, Yunnan Province,<br />
Southwest China. The fossil leaves are characterized<br />
by the overall rounded lamina with<br />
entire margin, actinodromous venation, and<br />
cyclocytic stomata, which suggest the affinity<br />
within the genus Exbucklandia, particularly<br />
with E. populnea. A survey on the cuticles of<br />
the sun and shade leaves of modern E. populnea<br />
indicates that the shade leaves generally<br />
possess more pronounced undulate anticlinal<br />
cell walls and a much lower stomatal density<br />
than the sun leaves. Two morphotypes, i.e. sun<br />
vs. shade types, of the fossil leaves were<br />
therefore recognized. The distribution of the<br />
modern Exbucklandia suggests that the genus<br />
lives under a warm climate with a mean annual<br />
temperature (MAT) from 13 °C to 27 °C<br />
and a mean annual precipitation (MAP) from<br />
800 mm to 2500 mm. Hence, E. tengchongensis<br />
might also live under a similar climatic<br />
condition in the Pliocene. Leaf margin analysis<br />
on the Tengchong flora supports this result.<br />
The little change of Neogene MAT in Southwest<br />
China is therefore supported.<br />

a SEM-analysis of thirty-nine angiosperm<br />

were recognized as follows: Morphotype 1 has<br />
narrow, densely packed vessels, very long scalariform<br />
perforation plates, opposite intervessel<br />
pits, and heterocellular rays of two sizes. It<br />
is herein named Icacinoxylon pecinovense sp.<br />

perforation plates, alternate intervessel pits,<br />
and short heterocellular rays and is assigned to<br />
Paraphyllanthoxylon marylandense Herendeen.<br />
Morphometric studies utilising Principal<br />
Component Analysis confirm this demarcation<br />
in morphospace, but despite large<br />
intrataxon variability does not support further<br />
splitting. Vessel diameter data suggest that<br />
Paraphyllanthoxylon was a large tree, challenging<br />
the idea that early angiosperms were<br />
small shrubs; the stature of Icacinoxylon is<br />
uncertain. Facies analysis suggests that both<br />
trees may have grown within riparian gallery<br />
forests under a subtropical climate, a finding<br />
consistent with calculations of Vulnerability<br />

Three fossil stem fragments collected from<br />
the banks of the Madre de Dios river in the<br />
south-western Peruvian Amazon are described<br />
and identified as Guadua sp. from their anatomical<br />
structure and gross morphology.<br />
These fossil monocots are stem fragments corresponding<br />
to a nodal region with i) circular<br />
sheath scars, ii) monopodial ramifications, iii)<br />
thorny or spiny buds or complex branches,<br />
and iv) a hollow stem structure. According to<br />
C 14 radiodating and to their stratigraphic position,<br />
these fossils are older than 45,790 yr BP<br />
(Late Pleistocene) and younger than<br />
3.12 ± 0.02 My (Late Pliocene) indicating that<br />
Guadua was present in south-western Amazonia<br />
before the first human occurrence in<br />
America, and before the Last Glacial Maximum<br />
(LGM). Since little is known regarding<br />
the origin of Guadua Kunth, a bamboo native<br />

Two types of fossil fruit, one belonging to<br />
Palaeocarya sp. (Juglandaceae) and the other<br />
to Acer cf. A. miofranchetii Hu et Chaney<br />
(Aceraceae), are found in the Eocene coalbearing<br />
series from the Changchang Basin of<br />
Hainan Island, China. This is the first fossil<br />
record of Palaeocarya and Acer in a tropical<br />
area of China. These fossils provide evidence<br />
for an investigation of the phytogeographic<br />
history of these two genera. Since their extant<br />
relative genera are distributed mostly in northern<br />
temperate or tropical–subtropical mountainous<br />
regions, I propose that the Changchang<br />
Basin of Hainan Island was close to a<br />
mountainous region in the Eocene; the plants<br />
bearing these fruits were growing at a midhigh<br />
altitude with a relatively cool climate,<br />
and the fruits were not preserved in situ but<br />
transported to the fossil site. The characters of<br />
other associated fossil plants and palynological<br />
data also support this hypothesis.<br />

In this year celebrating the bicentenary of<br />
the birth of Darwin and the sesquicentennial<br />
of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin<br />
of Species, the present paper aims to assess<br />
the impact of Darwin's legacy on the history<br />
of orchid pollination biology. To illustrate the<br />
major contribution of Darwin to this fascinating<br />
biological field, we focus on the large an-<br />
64
graecoid orchid group and propose an overview<br />
of the complex relationships that these<br />
orchids have developed with specific pollinators.<br />
We further discuss how Darwin's seminal<br />
work on the angraecoid orchid Angraecum<br />
sesquipedale triggered the beginning of a long<br />
debate about the evolution of long floral spurs<br />
and why his idea of reciprocal evolution or<br />
'coevolution' was one of the great contributions<br />
to evolutionary biology. (C) 2009 The<br />

木 质 部 的 异 时 发 育 : 一 个 未 被 重 视 的 与 被<br />
子 植 物 起 源 及 分 异 相 关 的 重 要 因 素 = Xylem<br />
heterochrony: an unappreciated key to<br />
angiosperm origin and diversifications. ( 英 文 ).<br />
Carlquist S. Botanical Journal of the Linnean<br />
Society, 2009, 161(1): 26-65<br />
All angiosperms can be arranged along a<br />
spectrum from a preponderance of juvenile<br />
traits (cambial activity lost) to one of nearly<br />
all adult characters (cambium maximally active,<br />
mature patterns realized rapidly early in<br />
ontogeny). Angiosperms are unique among<br />
seed plants in the width of this spectrum. Xylem<br />
patterns are considered here to be indicative<br />
of contemporary function, not relictual.<br />
Nevertheless, most families of early-divergent<br />
angiosperms exhibit paedomorphic xylem<br />
structure, a circumstance that is most plausibly<br />
explained by the concept that early angiosperms<br />
had sympodial growth forms featuring<br />
limited accumulation of secondary xylem.<br />
Sympodial habits have been retained in various<br />
ways not only in early-divergent angiosperms,<br />
but also among eudicots in Ranunculales.<br />
The early angiosperm vessel, relatively<br />
marginal in conductive abilities, was improved<br />
in various ways, with concurrent redesign<br />
of parenchyma and fibre systems to<br />
enhance conductive, storage and mechanical<br />
capabilities. Flexibility in degree of cambial<br />
activity and kinds of juvenile/adult expressions<br />
has been basic to diversification in eudicots<br />
as a whole. Sympodial growth that lacks<br />
cambium, such as in monocots, provides advantages<br />
by various features, such as organographic<br />
compartmentalization of tracheid<br />
and vessel types. Woody monopodial eudicots<br />
were able to diversify as a result of production<br />
of new solutions to embolism prevention and<br />
conductive efficiency, particularly in vessel<br />
design, but also in parenchyma histology. Criteria<br />
for paedomorphosis in wood include<br />
slow decrease in length of fusiform cambial<br />
initials, predominance of procumbent ray cells<br />
and lesser degrees of cambial activity. Retention<br />
of ancestral features in primary xylem<br />
(the 'refugium' effect) is, in effect, a sort of<br />
inverse evidence of acceleration of adult patterns<br />
in later formed xylem. Xylem heterochrony<br />
is analysed not only for all key groups<br />
of angiosperms (including monocots), but also<br />
for different growth forms, such as lianas, annuals,<br />
various types of perennials, rosette trees<br />
and stem succulents. Xylary phenomena that<br />
potentially could be confused with heterochrony<br />
are discussed. Heterochronous xylem<br />
features seem at least as important as other<br />
often cited factors (pollination biology) because<br />
various degrees of paedomorphic xylem<br />
are found in so many growth forms that relate<br />
in xylary terms to ecological sites. Xylem heterochrony<br />
can probably be accessed during<br />
evolution by relatively simple gene changes in<br />
a wide range of angiosperms and thus represents<br />
a current as well as a past source of<br />
variation upon which diversification was<br />
based. Results discussed here are compatible<br />
with both current molecular-based phylogenetic<br />
analyses and all recent physiological<br />
work on conduction in xylem and thus represent<br />
an integration of these fields. (C) 2009<br />

The genus Rosannia was erroneously diagnosed<br />
as a monad in Srivastava (1968a). It is<br />
re-diagnosed and its type species Rosannia<br />
manika is redescribed. The lost holotype is<br />
replaced by the surviving isotype as a lectotype<br />
here. Epitypes are designated and illustrated<br />
in this study to explain the morphology<br />
of R. manika in detail. Rosannia is an obligate<br />
ana-ulcerate tetrad with calymmate exine and<br />
granulose supratectal ornamentation. Its<br />
worldwide occurrence ranges from the Turonian<br />
to the Miocene. Lactoripollenites Zavada<br />
and Benson is a junior synonym of<br />
Rosannia. Pollen of extant Lactoris fernande-<br />
65

The present study documents the first confirmed<br />
fossil record of Sinomenium in Menispermaceae,<br />
Sinomenium macrocarpum sp.<br />
nov., from the recently discovered Gray Fossil<br />
Site in Tennessee, southeastern USA. The fossil<br />
species is represented by more than 120<br />
endocarps, all of which are characterized by<br />
their horseshoe-shaped form and occurrence<br />
of highly ornamented protuberances on both<br />
dorsal and lateral crests. A combination of<br />
their relatively large size and highly developed<br />
of protuberances on the surface of endocarp<br />
warrants the new species. The new species<br />
is justified through a detailed comparison<br />
with the related and published extant and fossil<br />
species. The discovery of the genus in<br />
North America appears to support that the<br />
Gray site in southern Appalachian region represented<br />
a forest refugium during the late<br />
Neogene when the global cooling was intensified<br />
and grasslands were globally expanded.<br />

Various kinds of fruits and seeds are known<br />
from the bituminous shales filling a middle<br />
Eocene maar at Eckfeld near Manderscheid<br />
(Eifel, Germany), some clearly adapted to<br />
wind dispersal. One of them is a consistently<br />
four-winged fruit with a long stalk and a superior<br />
fruit body carrying persistent style and<br />
stigma. It is presently represented by more<br />
than 80 specimens and described as a new<br />
species of an extinct genus, Trilobium Saporta<br />
emend. All of the major characters of Trilobium<br />
maii sp. nov. are met in fruits of extant<br />
Anacardiaceae. However, some similarities to<br />
fruits of Porana (Convolvulaceae) may also<br />
be recognised. The new species is another example<br />
supporting the considerable amount of<br />
extinct taxa in Northern Hemisphere Paleogene<br />
floras. The mode of dispersal as indicated<br />
by such a type of winged fruits fits to a<br />
paratropical vegetation as previously suggested<br />
for the middle Eocene at Eckfeld. The<br />
locality represents the oldest occurrence for<br />
Trilobium fruits. By the late Eocene, they are<br />
known from a broader area in Europe, but, at<br />
the same time still completely unknown from<br />
North America and Asia.<br />

Fossil leaf compressions from the Late Oligocene<br />

Vepris and the earliest record of Clausena and<br />
the subfamily Aurantioideae. These fossils,<br />
along with most other African rutaceous fossils,<br />
are associated with a tropical moist forest<br />
community. The large number of Rutaceae<br />
taxa in eastern Africa during the Late Oligocene<br />

within Africa or dispersal to Africa<br />
associated with the continental expansion of<br />
moist tropical forest during this time interval.<br />

Extant Berberis is a member of the basal<br />
eudicots with a South America (group Australes)-Old<br />
World (group Septentrionales)<br />
disjunctive distribution pattern. Different hypotheses<br />
have been proposed to explain the<br />
formation of this pattern. Recent molecular<br />
studies suggest that this pattern was caused by<br />
66
a vicariance event in the Cretaceous. More<br />
fossil evidence is required to evaluate these<br />
hypotheses. Here a new species of Berberis<br />
from the Palaeocene Wuyun flora is established<br />
based on a detailed comparison with all<br />
other fossil and related living Berberis. The<br />
occurrence of a Palaeocene Berberis in NE<br />
China and other fossil data suggest that 1) the<br />
genus originated in eastern Asia, 2) the leaf<br />
venation of the genus probably evolved from<br />
pinnate to acrodromous, leaf margins from<br />
densely spinose teeth to only occasionally<br />
toothed or even entire, 3) the genus would appear<br />
to have migrated from eastern Asia to<br />
North America in the Oligocene, via Beringia.<br />
Berberis probably arrived in Europe from<br />
Asia during the late Oligocene when Eurasia<br />
was reunited after the retreat of the Turgai<br />
Straits. Berberis could have migrated to India<br />
from eastern Asia, arriving before the last major<br />
upheaval of the Himalayas in the Pleistocene.<br />

An updated data set of 25 fossil floras sampling<br />
plant communities from the Early Cretaceous<br />
(similar to 123 million years ago) to the<br />
Pliocene (similar to 3 million years ago) is<br />
reanalyzed to assess the evolution of a latitudinal<br />
gradient in seed size during the radiation<br />
of angiosperms and the effect of this gradient<br />
on estimations of temporal trends in seed size.<br />
There is a significant negative correlation between<br />
the median seed size of Tertiary floras<br />
and their paleolatitude. As in modern floras,<br />
average seed size decreased from the equator<br />
toward the poles. Results indicate that previous<br />
documentations of a striking increase in<br />
within-flora seed size around the Cretaceous/Tertiary<br />
boundary (66 million years ago)<br />
are valid and conservative: the older (Cretaceous)<br />
floras sampled communities that in life<br />
were closer to the equator, relative to the<br />
younger (Tertiary) floras.<br />

The earliest known Asian records of Ulmus<br />
fruits are reported based on fossils from the<br />
Early Eocene Jijuntun Formation of Fushun<br />
coal mine, Liaoning Province, northeastern<br />
China. These fruits and associated leaves are<br />
morphologically similar to those of Ulmus<br />
okanaganensis Denk & Dillhoff, previously<br />
described from the late Early Eocene of western<br />
Canada. The fruits are small, flattened,<br />
and elliptical, with a pair of protruding styles<br />
and remnants of a basal calyx, but they do not<br />
possess the prominent surrounding wing characteristic<br />
of most extant Ulmus species. Fossil<br />
fruits from both the Chinese and Canadian<br />
Eocene sites are characterized by a short or<br />
nonexistent stipe between calyx and the fruit<br />
body, but the Chinese specimens show shorter<br />
styles, supporting their recognition as a distinct<br />
species, Ulmus fushunensis sp. n. Associated<br />
leaves, known only from two Fushun<br />
specimens, have small ovate laminae with serrate<br />
margins, usually with one tooth per secondary<br />
vein, similar to those of U.<br />
okanaganensis but with smaller laminae and<br />
fewer secondary veins. The occurrence of<br />
similar species of Ulmus in China and western<br />
North America during the Eocene indicates<br />
that early representatives of the genus may<br />
have spread via Beringia in the early Paleogene.<br />

from similar extant winged fruits such<br />
as Dipterocarpus Gaertn f. (Dipterocarpaceae),<br />

Monetianthus mirus gen. et sp. nov. is described<br />
based on a single coalified flower<br />
from the Early Cretaceous (Late Aptian-Early<br />
Albian) Vale de Agua locality, western Portugal.<br />
The flower is actinomorphic and probably<br />
bisexual, with a perianth of nine or 10 tepals,<br />
an androecium of 20 stamens, and a syncarpous<br />
gynoecium with a partly inferior ovary of<br />
12 carpels arranged radially around a central<br />
column. Phyllotaxis of tepals and stamens is<br />
uncertain. Nondestructive synchrotron radiation<br />
x-ray tomographic microscopy of internal<br />
structures documents laminar placentation<br />
with around six anatropous and ascending<br />
ovules in each locule. Comparison of<br />
Monetianthus with living plants indicates a<br />
clear relationship to extant Nymphaeales in<br />
particular with the Barclaya and Nymphaeoideae<br />
clade. Monetianthus thus provides<br />
evidence of crown group Nymphaeales, and<br />
probably crown group Nymphaeaceae, at a<br />
very early stage in the initial diversification of<br />
flowering plants.<br />

Fossil fruits document the former presence<br />
of Sloanea L. (Elaeocarpaceae) in Greenland<br />
and midlatitude North America during the<br />
early Tertiary. First described as Castanea<br />
ungeri by Heer in 1869 from the Paleocene of<br />
Greenland, the distinctive spiny fruits have<br />
since been discovered at several Paleocene to<br />
lower Eocene sites in Colorado, Wyoming and<br />
Montana. The fruits are 3-5-valved capsules<br />
2.5-3.5 cm in diameter, borne on long pedicels.<br />
Immature, unopened capsules show a single<br />
persistent style. The capsules open from the<br />
apex with valves separating to the lower 10%<br />
of the fruit. Each valve has a smooth inner<br />
surface with a pronounced median septum and<br />
is ornamented dorsally with closely spaced,<br />
erect spines, 4-8mm long. The North American<br />
and Greenlandic fossils are classified together<br />
as Sloanea ungeri (Heer) comb. n., a<br />
species that extended from the Lower Paleocene<br />
(Puercan) to the Lower Eocene (Lost<br />
Cabinian) in the Rocky Mountain region.<br />
Fruits of Carpites lancensis Dorf from the Late<br />
Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) ofWyoming are<br />
less well preserved but also resemble those of<br />
Sloanea. These fossil occurrences document<br />
an earlier fossil record for the family Elaeocarpaceae<br />

Sixty trigonal fagaceous fruits have been<br />
identified in the calcareous nodules from the<br />
Eocene Appian Way locality of Vancouver<br />
Island, British Columbia, Canada. The anatomically<br />
preserved fruits are known at various<br />
developmental stages. In transverse section,<br />
fruits are triangular, with lateral ridges<br />
68
that vary in shape from rounded to sharply<br />
angled. In longitudinal section, the nuts show<br />
a broad base and a tapered apex. The ovary is<br />
partitioned into three locules at the apex, and<br />
placentation is axile, with two ovules per locule.<br />
Locules merge near the base, giving the<br />
appearance of a three-lobed ovarian cavity.<br />
This area is occupied by a single seed at maturity.<br />
The inner wall of the endocarp is tomentose.<br />
Major vascular bundles in the mesocarp<br />
occur midway between and at the lateral<br />
ridges of the nut. The nut is wingless and has<br />
an exocarp of dense sclerenchyma interrupted<br />
at the ridges by dehiscence lines that traverse<br />
the entire fruit wall. The nut surface is glabrous,<br />
except near the distal end, where<br />
trichomes emerge in proximity to three styles<br />
and surrounding perianth remnants. These<br />
nuts are assigned to the genus Fagus L. and<br />
represent the first permineralized Fagaceae of<br />
subfamily Fagoideae in the fossil record.<br />
Fagus schofieldii sp. nov. provides the earliest<br />
evidence of winglessness in Fagoideae and<br />
supports the possibility of a North American<br />
origin for the genus.<br />

Hoya and Dischidia are closely related genera,<br />
but molecular phylogenetic analyses have<br />
not succeeded in revealing their exact relationship.<br />
The morphology of the pollinating<br />
apparatus, consisting of guide rails, stamens,<br />
pollinaria, and stigmas, of selected species of<br />
Hoya and of Dischidia, as well as of Stephanotis<br />
floribunda and of Marsdenia cordifolia,<br />
is examined and discussed in the light of the<br />
mechanisms involved in the pollination of<br />
their flowers. Flowers of Hoya have generally<br />
lost their inner guide rails, while guide rails in<br />
Dischidia are more developed and often provided<br />
with inner rails. Nectar in Hoya is produced<br />
from a tube in the guide rails but also<br />
by secondary nectaries positioned inside the<br />
anther skirt. The pollinium in this genus is, in<br />
the majority of cases, provided with a pellucid<br />
margin that is inserted into the guide rails during<br />
pollination. Pollinia of Dischidia have<br />
crested caudicles, which because of structural<br />
similarity to the pellucid margins of Hoya, are<br />
hypothesized to fulfill the same function. Pollinia<br />
with pellucid margins together with<br />
modified guide rails and secondary nectaries<br />
inside the anther skirt support the monophyly<br />
of Hoya and point to a systematic position of<br />
Dischidia outside this genus in the tribe Marsdenieae.<br />

The subcosmopolitan and aquatic monocot<br />
family Potamogetonaceae Berch. and J. Presl<br />
1823 comprises extant and fossil genera. Its<br />
known fossil record is composed mainly of<br />
fruit remains, and it comes only from Eocene<br />
to Pliocene sediments of the Northern Hemisphere<br />
( Europe, Saudi Arabia, and China).<br />
Recently, several fruits sharing characters<br />
with living and fossil Potamogetonaceae genera<br />
have been found within the Paleogene<br />
Baibian Beds, Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina.<br />
Fossils were collected at the Puesto Baibian<br />
locality, which outcrops at the eastern sector<br />
of the Sierra de La Colonia. Fossils are impressions/compressions<br />
of infructescences and<br />
isolated fruits and seeds preserved as molds<br />
and casts. The infructescences are probably<br />
racemes bearing fruits placed most likely in<br />
whorls of four each. Isolated fruits are small<br />
one-seeded bisymmetrical endocarps. Palynological<br />
studies of the beds show the presence<br />
of an assemblage similar to those found<br />
in sediments of the Northern Hemisphere<br />
where Potamogetonaceae fossil fruits were<br />
previously recorded. This report constitutes<br />
the first fossil record of Potamogetonaceae for<br />
the Southern Hemisphere.<br />

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2009,<br />
170(1): 132-142<br />
The identification of Cornus foliage in the<br />
fossil record previously has relied primarily<br />
on similarities in venation, particularly the<br />
eucamptodromous secondary veins and widely<br />
spaced, transversely oriented tertiary veins.<br />
These features, while consistent with Cornus,<br />
69
are not by themselves diagnostic for the genus.<br />
Double-armed, acicular trichomes mineralized<br />
with calcium carbonate are an additional characteristic<br />
feature found in all extant species of<br />
the genus. The presence of such trichomes<br />
provides a means of confirming leaf impression<br />
fossils attributed to Cornus. Reexamination<br />
of previously described Cornus leaves<br />
from the Paleocene of the Rocky Mountains<br />
and Great Plains region leads us to reject Cornus<br />
nebrascensis Schimper (=Cornus newberryi<br />
Hollick) from the genus. Another species,<br />
Cornus hyperborea Heer, is provisionally<br />
accepted as Cornus based on its venation, although<br />
we were unable to confirm the<br />
trichomes in the type material from Greenland<br />
or in the assigned specimens from North Dakota.<br />
We also review other Eurasian Paleocene<br />
Cornus-like leaf remains, including Cornus<br />
platyphylla Saporta and Cornophyllum<br />
hebridicum (Johnson) Boulter and Kvacek.<br />
We recognize two new Paleocene species,<br />
whose identity as Cornus is confirmed by the<br />
presence of characteristic trichomes and venation:<br />
Cornus swingii sp. n., from the Paleocene<br />
of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota,<br />
and Cornus krassilovii sp. n., from the<br />
Paleocene Tsagayan flora of Russia. These<br />
occurrences, along with fruit records, indicate<br />
that the extant genus was well established in<br />
the Northern Hemisphere early in the Tertiary.<br />

Some examples of association between platanoid<br />
leaves and various reproductive structures<br />
are considered. The expediency of determining<br />
dispersed Cretaceous platanoid<br />
leaves using a morphological system that is<br />
independent of the system of modern plants is<br />
discussed. It is confirmed that leaf structures<br />
are more conservative than reproductive organs.<br />
It is proposed that, in the geological past,<br />
there was a polymorphic group that was<br />
probably represented by extinct families<br />
which gave rise to modern families (in particular,<br />
Platanaceae and Hamamelidaceae).<br />

Some problems in the taxonomy of the Juglandaceae<br />
are discussed based on wood anatomy;<br />
the identification of fossil juglandaceous<br />
wood is considered. Data on fossil wood of<br />
the Juglandaceae are summarized; a key for<br />
identification of wood anatomy in modern and<br />
fossil Juglandaceae is compiled. Wood anatomical<br />
characters in members of the family<br />
are discussed in the light of major evolutionary<br />
trends in the secondary xylem of dicots,<br />
and a comparative characterization of members<br />
of the family is developed. A hypothesis<br />
is proposed that the subfamily Engelhardioideae<br />
is the most primitive member of the<br />
Juglandaceae based on wood anatomy, the<br />
tribe Juglandeae and subfamily Platycaryoideae<br />
are slightly more highly specialized,<br />
and the tribe Hicorieae is the most advanced.<br />
Evolutionary relationships between the members<br />
of the Juglandaceae are reviewed based<br />

In the second half of the nineteenth century,<br />
pioneering discoveries of rich assemblages of<br />
fossil plants from the Cretaceous resulted in<br />
considerable interest in the first appearance of<br />
angiosperms in the geological record. Darwin's<br />
famous comment, which labelled the<br />
‘rapid development’ of angiosperms an<br />
‘abominable mystery’, dates from this time.<br />
Darwin and his contemporaries were puzzled<br />
by the relatively late, seemingly sudden and<br />
geographically widespread appearance of<br />
modern-looking angiosperms in Late Cretaceous<br />
floras. Today, the early diversification<br />
of angiosperms seems much less ‘rapid’. Angiosperms<br />
were clearly present in the Early<br />
Cretaceous, 20–30 Myr before they attained<br />
the level of ecological dominance reflected in<br />
some mid-Cretaceous floras, and angiosperm<br />
leaves and pollen show a distinct pattern of<br />
steadily increasing diversity and complexity<br />
through this interval. Early angiosperm fossil<br />
flowers show a similar orderly diversification<br />
and also provide detailed insights into the<br />
changing reproductive biology and phylogenetic<br />
diversity of angiosperms from the Early<br />
Cretaceous. In addition, newly discovered fossil<br />
flowers indicate considerable, previously<br />
unrecognized, cryptic diversity among the earliest<br />
angiosperms known from the fossil record.<br />
Lineages that today have an herbaceous<br />
or shrubby habit were well represented.<br />
Monocotyledons, which have previously been<br />
difficult to recognize among assemblages of<br />
early fossil angiosperms, were also diverse<br />
and prominent in many Early Cretaceous ecosystems.<br />

Two petrified woods from ltuzaingo Formation<br />

assigned to Anacardiaceae. The specimens<br />
were found in Toma Vieja fossiliferous locality,<br />
Parana, Entre Rios, Argentina. The presence<br />
of a combination of characters in each<br />
one allowed to distinguish this family from<br />
other dicotyledonous and to assign the material<br />
to two morfotaxa: Astroniumxylon parabalansae<br />
Franco et Brea and a new morphospecies<br />
of Astroniumxylon Brea et al. The<br />
petrified woods show great affinity with the<br />
genera Astronium Jacq., while Astronium<br />
balansae Engl. and Astronium urundeuva (Allemao)<br />
Engl. are the most related species. The<br />
comparison with the nearest living relatives<br />
suggests that the fossils might have been a<br />
component of Neotropical Dry Forests with<br />
strongly seasonal climate. These current forests<br />
develop in South America and are relict in<br />
isolated localities in the North of Argentina,<br />
Southeast of Bolivia and Brazil, but that in the<br />
past they were more extended to the South and<br />
East of the American continent. Anacardi-<br />
73
aceae family was a very important component<br />
during the Cenozoic in southernmost South<br />
America. This evidence is supported by diverse<br />

Winged Fruits of Fraxinus (Oleaceae) and<br />
Liriodendron ( Magnoliaceae ) from the<br />
Duho Formation, Pohang Basin, Korea. ( 英<br />
文 ). Jung Seungho; Lee Seongjoo. Acta Geologica<br />
Sinica, 2009, 83(5): 845-852<br />
A total of 16 specimens of fossil-winged<br />
fruits were found from the Middle Miocene<br />
marine deposits, Duho Formation, Pohang<br />
Basin, Korea. They were identified into two<br />
structurally different groups: 15 specimens<br />
into a winged fruit of Fraxinus, and one<br />
specimen of Liriodendron. The most samaras<br />
(13 specimens) were identified as Fraxinus<br />
oishii, which is characterized by narrowly<br />
ovate or ovate-elliptic shapes that are 2.7-3.6<br />
cm in length and 0.7-1 cm in width (i/w ratio=3.4-4).<br />
The apexes of the Fraxinus oishii<br />
samara are round or slightly emarginated, and<br />
a seed of the samara is always located at the<br />
base, of which the general shape is narrow<br />
rhombic-ellipsoidal. The seed is 1.2-2 cm long<br />
and 0.5-0.7 cm wide. Two specimens are different<br />
from the samara of Fraxinus oishii.<br />
They have a 6.6 length/width ratio (3.3 cm<br />
long and 0.5 cm wide), and thus, are temporarily<br />
classified into the Fraxinus sp. One<br />
specimen was recognized as a winged seed of<br />
Liriodendron meisenense. The wing is broadly<br />
lanceolate to elliptic in shape, has a smooth,<br />
acute apex, and is approximately 3 cm long<br />
and 0.7 cm wide. Samaras of Fraxinus oishii<br />
and Liriodendron meisenense were early reported<br />
from the Middle Miocene deposits<br />
from North Korea, but these specimens are the<br />
first discovery in South Korea. Further study<br />
74
of the Duho Formation may connect flora relationships<br />
between North and South Korea.<br />

patterns of test degradation on tropical, intertidal<br />
benthic foraminifera. ( 英 文 ). Berkeley A;<br />
Perry C T; Smithers S G. Marine Micropaleontology,<br />

The preservational condition of benthic foraminifera<br />
from tropical intertidal sediments<br />
in Cleveland Bay, north Queensland, Australia<br />
was examined in order to provide systematic<br />
descriptions of taphonomic signatures and<br />
semi-quantitative estimates of test degradation.<br />
The primary aim was to improve understanding<br />
of the processes of test degradation experienced<br />
by intertidal foraminifera during<br />
early burial. Eight common tropical, intertidal<br />
foraminiferal species were examined:<br />
Arenoparrella mexicana, Miliammina fusca,<br />
Miliammina obliqua and Trochammina inflata<br />
from two upper mangrove stations, and Ammonia<br />
aoteana, Elphidium excavatum clavatum,<br />
Pararotalia venusta and Parrellina hispidula<br />
from two mudflat stations. Taphonomic<br />
alteration was broadly divided into surface/textural<br />
features and larger-scale, structural<br />
losses to tests. Surface alteration of calcareous<br />
tests was dominated by the etching<br />
and roughening associated with dissolution<br />
processes, with limited evidence for bioerosion<br />
and abrasion. Both surficial etching and<br />
larger-scale structural damage were closely<br />
related to test architecture, with degradation<br />
most intense on porous chamber walls, as opposed<br />
to non-porous-areas, interlocular walls<br />
and chamber tips. Furthermore, all calcareous<br />
species exhibited consistent pathways of degradation<br />
whereby the most recently formed<br />
chambers were the most vulnerable to degradation.<br />
The correspondence between largerscale<br />
test loss and these patterns of surface<br />
textural alteration, suggests calcareous test<br />
degradation is primarily driven by dissolution.<br />
Degradation of agglutinated tests contrasts in<br />
a number of ways. Pristine tests of all four<br />
species examined exhibited a smooth, outer<br />
organic coating, which may be missing from<br />
other specimens. The extent to which this initial<br />
loss effects further test breakdown is uncertain,<br />
but appears to differ between species.<br />
M. obliqua and some specimens of A. mexicana<br />
exhibited structural damage which corresponded<br />
to clear cement losses and agglutinant<br />
disaggregation. More generally, agglutinated<br />
species displayed fracturing and test<br />
breakages which bore no conspicuous relation<br />
to cement loss. Furthermore, neither surface<br />
alteration nor structural loss affected any part<br />
of agglutinated tests preferentially, and therefore<br />
pathways of degradation were inconsistent<br />
across specimens. The fact that agglutinated<br />
tests degrade in a more arbitrary manner,<br />
compared with calcareous tests, is taken as<br />
evidence that their degradation is (1) not entirely<br />
controlled by test architecture, and (2) at<br />
least partially driven by physical/mechanical<br />
processes. We suggest that, if agglutinated<br />
tests are not already inherently weaker than<br />
their calcareous counterparts, the loss of organic<br />
cements may sufficiently weaken agglutinated<br />
tests so as to increase susceptibility to<br />
physical damage. Tests were also graded according<br />
to the extent to which they were structurally<br />
degraded. Average taphonomic grades<br />
and taphonomic variability (i.e. standard deviation)<br />
for all species at Cocoa Creek were<br />
statistically invariant with depth, contrary to<br />
expectations based on the concept of progressive<br />
burial through a taphonomically-active<br />
zone. This indicates that shallow sub-surface<br />
sediments are significantly homogenised, and<br />
that sediment mixing and infaunal test production<br />
imparts a considerable effect on the development<br />
of surface and sub-surface dead<br />
assemblages at the study site.<br />

Trace elements incorporated in planktonic<br />
foraminiferal test carbonate are commonly<br />
used as paleoproxies. For instance, Mg/Ca<br />
ratios are frequently used for reconstructing<br />
sea surface temperature and, together with the<br />
foraminiferal stable oxygen isotope ratios, are<br />
also used as paleosalinity proxy. Foraminiferal<br />
Sr/Ca ratios constitute another example of the<br />
application of trace elements in paleostudies<br />
since they may reflect the Sr/Ca values of<br />
seawater. However, over the past few decades<br />
it has been proven that the incorporation of<br />
75
trace elements in foraminiferal calcite is controlled<br />
by more than one environmental parameter.<br />
To quantify the effect of salinity on<br />
Mg and Sr incorporation planktonic foraminifera<br />
Globigerinoides sacculifer (sensu<br />
stricto) were grown in the laboratory under<br />
different environmental conditions. Laboratory<br />
experiments allowed us to separate a direct<br />
salinity effect from a possible independent<br />
impact through differences in the calcite<br />
saturation state of the seawater (Ω). Although<br />
the temperature effect is more important than<br />
the salinity effect, a change of 4 salinity units<br />
is equivalent to a 1 °C bias on Mg/Ca-based<br />
temperatures. This effect of salinity on Mg<br />
incorporation is minor. However, when using<br />
Mg/Ca-based temperatures in combination<br />
with foraminiferal δ 18 O to calculate salinity, it<br />
cannot be neglected. The present study shows<br />
salinity as the overriding control on Mg incorporation<br />
within the range of Ω studied (Ω between<br />
5.25 and 6.50; [CO 3 2− ] between 218 and<br />
270 μmol/kg) at a constant temperature of<br />
26 °C. In contrast, Ω appears to be the main<br />
control on foraminiferal Sr incorporation<br />
(0.10 mmol/mol per 100 µmol/kg rise in<br />
[CO 3 2− ]), whereas salinity has a non significant<br />
influence on Sr/Ca.<br />

Dissolution experiments were carried out on<br />
a foraminiferal assemblage from the Paleocene–Eocene<br />
Thermal Maximum (PETM) at<br />
Dababiya, Egypt, in order to: 1) reveal the<br />
effects of differential dissolution on the composition<br />
of the foraminiferal assemblage and 2)<br />
develop objective criteria for the evaluation of<br />
dissolution in foraminiferal assemblages used<br />
in early Paleogene paleoenvironmental reconstructions,<br />
particularly with respect to neritic<br />
Midway-type assemblages from the Paleocene/Eocene<br />
transition. Our results confirm<br />
two general observations on modern foraminifera:<br />
1) planktic foraminifera are much<br />
more vulnerable to dissolution than benthic<br />
foraminifera, leading to depressed P/B ratios<br />
and 2) dissolution susceptibility differs between<br />
size fractions, with the smaller specimens<br />
dissolving more rapidly than the bigger<br />
ones, leading to a larger average size of the<br />
remaining assemblage. Within a size fraction,<br />
wall structure and thickness are considered to<br />
be the main factors controlling differential<br />
dissolution susceptibility. We propose a ranking<br />
scheme for taxa with respect to dissolution<br />
resistance. Among the benthic taxa, Lenticulina<br />
is most resistant, followed by the agglutinated<br />
Gaudryina cf. ellisorae and Alabamina<br />
midwayensis. Biserial and triserial<br />
hyaline taxa and the porcelaneous Spiroloculina<br />
sp. are most susceptible to dissolution,<br />
whereas rotaliines, such as Cibicidoides and<br />
Anomalinoides have an intermediate susceptibility.<br />
This implies that mild dissolution of a<br />
Midway-type benthic assemblage leads to a<br />
relative enrichment in Lenticulina, Gaudryina<br />
and rotaliines. Amongst planktic foraminifera,<br />
the muricate taxa Acarinina and Morozovella<br />
are most resistant, followed by the cancellate<br />
Subbotina. The smooth and generally small<br />
Globanomalina and Zeauvigerina are least<br />
resistant to dissolution. Our data enable to objectively<br />
evaluate various degrees of dissolution<br />
in benthic and planktic foraminiferal assemblages<br />
retrieved from the lower Paleogene<br />
Tethyan outcrops. In this way taphonomic artifacts<br />
can be readily distinguished from paleoenvironmental<br />
signals affecting the primary<br />
composition of the assemblages. More generally,<br />
we propose that the combined use of foraminiferal<br />
numbers, P/B ratio and relative<br />
abundances of non-calcareous agglutinated<br />
taxa and Lenticulina may provide a powerful<br />
proxy for assessing dissolution in hemipelagic<br />
assemblages from Cenozoic and upper Cretaceous<br />
continental margins. In order to achieve<br />
more robust pre-Quaternary paleoenvironmental<br />
reconstructions based on quantitative foraminiferal<br />
data, application of dissolution<br />
proxies, like proposed here, or in slightly<br />
modified form, should become a more widely<br />
used micropaleontologic procedure. Particularly<br />
continental margin studies dealing with<br />
major biotic events (e.g. PETM) or employing<br />
P/B ratios for sea-level reconstructions should<br />
benefit from such an approach.<br />

that is always present at least in their microspheric<br />

radiation. This pattern was also correlated<br />
with geochemical and isotopic data. The impact<br />

Considering the diversity and abundance of<br />
larger foraminifera examined from a wide<br />
range of Late Oligocene to Early Miocene palaeoenvironments<br />
in the Tethyan Seaway, encrusting<br />
bryozoans make extremely little use<br />
of their tests as substratum. Significant encrustations<br />
by bryozoans were exclusively<br />
found on large (ø c. 6 cm), undulating tests of<br />
Lepidocyclina spp., on which, however, a remarkable<br />
34 taxa of encrusting bryozoans<br />
were recorded. This shallow-water fauna of<br />
Chattian age was analyzed in respect of the<br />
bryozoan taxa present, colony growth type,<br />
and mode of budding, colony size, as well as<br />
onset of reproduction. Taxic and morphological<br />
similarities between the fossil assemblage<br />
and modern faunas encrusting mobile substrata<br />
indicate a long history of bryozoans as<br />
part of the interstitial habitat, while the tests of<br />
certain larger foraminifera may have played a<br />
significant role in the evolution of shallowwater<br />
bryozoans by providing substrata for<br />
encrusting species in otherwise unfavorable<br />
environments.<br />

Benthic foraminifera were found in laminated<br />
non-bioturbated sediments from the<br />
Gotland Deep in the Baltic Sea. The sediments<br />
were deposited during the Littorina Sea stage<br />
(8000-3000 C-14 yr. BP), where euxinic conditions<br />
(anoxic bottom water) prevailed in the<br />
deepest part of the basin. The bottom water<br />
became occasionally oxygenated when saline<br />
oxic water entered the basin. During some of<br />
the oxic periods, a benthic oxygen-demanding<br />
fauna was able to colonise. The oxygen levels<br />
below the sediment-water interface were,<br />
however, too low to admit a burrowing fauna.<br />
The foraminifera were protected from upward<br />
diffusing H2S by a layer of manganese oxide<br />
acting as a redox buffer. It is concluded that<br />
colonisation of benthic foraminifera occurred<br />
during short periods suggesting that an establishment<br />
could take place if the deep bottoms<br />
of the present-day Baltic Sea became oxic.<br />

The Gyanyima Limestone is one of the isolated<br />
carbonate build-ups that have a probable<br />
Neotethyan seamount origin, distributed along<br />
the Yarlung-Zangbo Suture in southern Tibet.<br />
The limestone yields a highly diversified foraminiferal<br />
fauna consisting of nine fusuline<br />
and 37 taxa of non-fusuline foraminifers. This<br />
foraminiferal fauna is dominated by<br />
Reichelina pulchra, Colaniella parva and the<br />
characteristic boultoniid genus Dilatofusulina.<br />
We propose a new foraminiferal zone, the<br />
Reichelina pulchra-Colaniella parva-<br />
Dilatofusulina orthogonios Zone that represents<br />
the last prosperous stage of foraminifers<br />
just before the end-Permian mass extinction.<br />
This zone can be correlated broadly with the<br />
Palaeofusulina sinensis Zone in the Eastern<br />
Tethys based on advanced features observed<br />
in the major elements of the fauna. The composition<br />
of the fauna suggests that during the<br />
late Changhsingian, the Gyanyima Limestone<br />
occupied a palaeogeographic position at lower<br />
latitudes in the Neotethys. The fauna was<br />
largely influenced by the warm-water equatoro-tropical<br />

Thirteen different orthophragminid taxa<br />
could be separated typologically from a single<br />
sample collected by C. W. Drooger. Drooger<br />
doubted the existence of many co-occurring<br />
evolutionary lineages of larger foraminifera in<br />
the Eocene suggesting that this may be an artifact<br />
of the typological species concept widely<br />
used by the Paleogene larger foraminiferal<br />
experts. It is shown here that typologically<br />
determined taxa cn be separated as well with<br />
the morphometric method, recommended by<br />
Drooger. This provesalso the validity of the<br />
concept os simultaneous evolutionary lineages.<br />
It has been found that the typological method<br />
is preferable when separatingdifferent taxa in<br />
single samples, but in some cases, the independence<br />
of quantitatively close populations<br />
can only be proved biometrically.<br />

There is a group of variegated marine deposits,<br />
including the red beds widespread in<br />
the area of Tianba, Kangmar, southern Tibet,<br />
which previous works have contributed to<br />
Cretaceous Zongzhuo Formation by lithologic<br />
associations only, but with poor fossil evidence.<br />
Due to the absence of age dating fossils,<br />
the red bed age is obscure. Abundant Cretaceous<br />
radiolaria were discovered from the<br />
Zongzhuo Formation in the present study. In<br />
spite of the poor general preservation of some<br />
radiolarian specimens as recrystallized quartz<br />
infillings, 58 species from 46 genera of radiolaria,<br />
extracted from chert and silicous limestone<br />
of the Zongzhuo Formation in Kangmar,<br />
were identified on the basis of their shape and<br />
ornamentation. Based on the radiolaria, the<br />
age of the Zongzhuo Formation of this area<br />
has been referred to as Late Cretaceous. The<br />
new radiolarian data from the Zongzhuo Formation<br />
of Tianba area provide a local basis to<br />
correlate these deposits with other regions of<br />

Vestimentiferan tube worms living at deepsea<br />
bydrothermal vents and cold seeps have<br />
been considered as a clade with a long and<br />
continuing evolutionary history in these ecosystems.<br />
Eheareas the fossil record appears to<br />
support this view, molecular age estimates do<br />
not. The two main features that are used to<br />
identify vestimentiferan tubes in the fossil record<br />
are longitudinal ridges on the tube's surface<br />
and a tube wall constructed of multiple<br />
layers. It is shown here that chaetopterid tubes<br />
from modern vents and seeps--as well as a<br />
number of fossil tubes from shallow-water<br />
enrironments -- also show these two features.<br />
We suggest that: current estimates for a relatively<br />
young evolutionary age based on mo-<br />
80
lecular clock methods may be more reliable<br />
than the inferences of "vestimentiferans"<br />
based on putative fossils of these worms; not<br />
all of these putative fossils actually belong to<br />
this group; and that tubes from fossil seeps<br />
should be investigated for chitinous remains to<br />
substantiate claims of their potnetial siboglimid<br />
affinities.<br />

1405 10 图 版 .<br />
Based on the study of the growth habits<br />
and the relief of the colony surface in bryozoans<br />
of the class Stenolaemata from the<br />
Lower (Latorp horizon) and Middle (Volchov<br />
and Kunda horizons) Ordovician of the Leningrad<br />
Region, these bryozoans are shown to<br />
develop from the simple, unilaminate colonies<br />
(B I β ) to the massive colonies with a nodular<br />
surface and smooth columnar colonies (B II α ),<br />
which subsequently evolved into the columnar-spiral<br />
(B II β ) and more complex erect<br />
branching and fenestrate constructions (B II γ ),<br />
and subsequently into the branching, articulate<br />
colonies (B III α ). The apertures of autozooecia<br />
and the character of their arrangement on the<br />
colony surface changed correlatively from the<br />
circular (B I β ) to polygonal and roundedpolygonal,<br />
randomly arranged apertures, and subsequently<br />
to the oval apertures (B III α ) arranged<br />
in strictly regular longitudinal or longitudinaldiagonal<br />
rows or in a quincuncial pattern.<br />
Thus, the development of growth habits in the<br />
bryozoans under consideration has a progressive<br />
character. It is expressed in the progressive<br />
increase in the complexity of growth habits<br />
of colonies and in the more regular arrangement<br />
of apertures and other structures on<br />
the colony surface. The directionality of morphological<br />
changes in the growth habits of<br />
colonies of Ordovician bryozoans was apparently<br />
closely associated with the development<br />
of more complex environmental interactions<br />
of these bryozoans, especially with water currents<br />
supplying food particles. It is suggested<br />
that the high competitive ability of bryozoans<br />
of the class Stenolaemata at early stages of its<br />
development in the basin of Baltoscandia was<br />
apparently due to the better use of food resources.<br />

Lethaia, 2009, 42(4): 438-451<br />
Many palaeontological studies rely heavily<br />
on characteristics of the preserved phenotype,<br />
i.e. the morphology of skeletal hard parts. Although<br />
the potential for environmental influences<br />
on the phenotype is expected, rarely is<br />
the magnitude of the effects quantifiable relative<br />
to genetic factors. The clonal/colonial<br />
body plan of Bryozoa allows for the partitioning<br />
of morphological variance into its genetic<br />
and environmental factors addressing the<br />
question of, 'how much phenotypic variation is<br />
induced in a population by changing a single<br />
environmental factor' The effects of variation<br />
of food concentration on whole-colony growth<br />
rate and on zooid size/morphology can be profound<br />
in bryozoans. Here we test experimentally<br />
food effects on the skeletal phenotype of<br />
the bryozoan Electra pilosa (Linnaeus, 1767),<br />
an encrusting sheet-like bryozoan. A threshold<br />
effect was observed for the relationship between<br />
zooecium size and food concentration.<br />
Very low concentrations resulted in stunted<br />
colonies with small zooecia, but at low to intermediate<br />
concentrations a close relationship<br />
existed with zooecium size. Maximum<br />
zooecium size occurred at submaximal food<br />
concentration and submaximum zooecium<br />
size occurred at higher food concentrations.<br />
Previous studies that have reported no effect<br />
of food availability on zooecium size assessed<br />
food concentration effects at higher concentrations<br />
than were effective in the present study.<br />
In the absence of other factors, variation in<br />
zooecium size is minimal and unchanging at<br />
moderate to high food concentrations. Greater<br />
variation in zooecium size is expected at and<br />
below threshold food concentrations. We<br />
show that the preservable phenotype of these<br />
specimens subjected to controlled and induced<br />
environmental variation also records information<br />
with genetic significance.<br />

Exquisite Pywackia baileyi Landing n. gen.<br />
and sp. specimens from the lower Tiñu Formation,<br />
southern Mexico, extend the bryozoan<br />
record into the Upper Cambrian. They are 8<br />
m.y. older than the purported oldest bryozoans<br />
from South China, and show that all skeletalized<br />
metazoan phyla appeared in the Cambrian.<br />
The new form differs from similar, twig-like<br />
cryptostomes by its shallow autozooecia and<br />
an elongate axial zooid, which may be homologous<br />
to the stolon in nonmineralized<br />
ctenostomes. It may morphologically resemble<br />
mineralized stem group bryozoans that retained<br />
a stolon-like individual, although an<br />
ability to bud was acquired by the feeding individuals<br />
(autozooids). The latest Cambrian<br />
origin of bryozoans, several mollusk classes<br />
(polyplacophorans, cephalopods), and euconodonts<br />
was a major evolutionary development<br />
and can be considered the onset of the<br />
Ordovician radiation of more complex marine<br />
communities.<br />

真 正 的 Dalmanella 和 北 美 晚 奥 陶 世<br />
dalmanellid 腕 足 类 的 分 类 学 意 义 = True<br />
Dalmanella and taxonomic implications for<br />
some Late Ordovician dalmanellid brachiopods<br />
from North America. ( 英 文 ). Jin J S;<br />
Bergstrom J. GFF, 2010, 132(1): 13-24<br />
Examination of topotype material of the<br />
type species of Dalmanella, D. testudinaria,<br />
from the Hirnantian strata of Borenshult,<br />
southern Sweden, revealed several diagnostic<br />
characters that distinguish the type species<br />
from some common North American species<br />
assigned previously to the genus. The typical<br />
Dalmanella testudinaria has a consistently developed,<br />
primary medial interspace in the dorsal<br />
valve, a cardinal process with an invariably<br />
bilobed myophore, punctae of two distinctly<br />
different sizes, and a lack of aditicules. In contrast,<br />
many Late Ordovician species from<br />
North America, such as 'Dalmanella' meeki<br />
and 'Dalmanella' multisecta from the Cincinnati<br />
type area, consistently have a dorsal medial<br />
costa, with a strong tendency to develop<br />
aditicules and a trilobate cardinal process.<br />
This study confirms the previous notion of<br />
many authors that true Dalmanella testudinaria,<br />
83
or the genus as a whole, is either rare or entirely<br />
absent in North America. Typical Dalmanella<br />
was predominant in cool-water depositional<br />
environments (such as the Hirnantia<br />
Fauna), whereas the North American dalmanellids<br />
(e.g. Cincinnati-type 'Dalmanella',<br />
Paucicrura, and Diceromyonia) were most<br />
abundant and diverse in tropical, epicontinental<br />
sea settings. A clear definition of the true<br />
Dalmanella, therefore, has important implications<br />
for the study of Late Ordovician-Early<br />
Silurian brachiopod evolution, paleoecology,<br />
and paleobiogeography.<br />

Polonica, 2009, 54(1): 99-109<br />
In this work, the endocerid proterocameroceratid<br />
Protocyptendoceras is revised using<br />
new material from La Cienaga, 5 km from<br />
Purmamarca. The species P. corvalani and P.<br />
teicherti are considered to be junior synonyms<br />
of P. fuenzalidae, which is redescribed in detail<br />
and reillustrated. Specimens preserve<br />
adapical parts of isolated siphuncles, related<br />
here to the presence of endocones in a posterior<br />
portion. Evidently P. fuenzalidae had a<br />
nektobenthic mode of life in a shallow water<br />
environment, oriented horizontally. Its palaeobiogeographical<br />
affinities are mainly with<br />
Floian proterocameroceratids from Eastern<br />
Gondwana, such as Anthoceras decorum and<br />
the related genera Lobendoceras, Ventroloboceras,<br />
and Notocycloceras.<br />

Organic remains of tentaculitids have been<br />
recovered during palynological research on<br />
archival samples from the Dobrzyca 2 borehole.<br />
Untill now tentaculids are widely known<br />
from their abundant mineralised shells. As<br />
organic remains, on the other hand, they have<br />
only been known since 2004. The present discovery<br />
is currently the second one of this kind<br />
found in Upper Devonian strata. The shape<br />
and morphology of some recognized tentaculitid<br />
orgnic remains are similar to embryonic<br />
and juvenile forms of dacryoconarids beloging<br />
to orders Nowakiida and Stylionida. Based on<br />
palynomorphs, the age of the two samples<br />
investigated has been established as<br />
Frasnian, RB and Rd local miospore zones.<br />

The paper examines the sytematics, phylogeny<br />

The range morphology of its distinctive<br />

extensive cladistic analysis based on morphological<br />
characters at genus and subgenus levels<br />
allowed the inclusion of B. (Anchomasa)<br />
into the phylogney of Pholadoidea and the<br />
establishment of its most appropriate taxonomic<br />
position. The analysis confirms that<br />
Barnea s.s. and B. (Umitakea) are its closest<br />
relatives and that the morphological similarites<br />
to other taxa are mainly due to plesiomorphies.<br />

The Upper Cambrian Homagnostus obesus/Olenus<br />
Biozone is well exposed in the old<br />
quarries at Andrarum, and is typically represented<br />
by unfossiliferous black shales with<br />
fossiliferous carbonate concretions. Near the<br />
north end of the "Great Quarry", however, the<br />
shales themselves are replete with fossils, and<br />
in these a 1.8 m section has been logged to<br />
establish how trilobite populations fluctuated<br />
through time. Successive bedding planes were<br />
examined, at l-cm intervals where possible,<br />
and for each surface trilobite exuviae, with<br />
rare complete specimens were counted within<br />
a 5x5 cm quadrat. Olenus and Homagnostus<br />
are very common, but their abundance fluctuates<br />
dramatically; they co-occur in the upper<br />
part of the sequence but are otherwise almost<br />
mutually exclusive. This suggests that they<br />
had different ecological requirements. The<br />
rare Glyptagnostus and the bradoriid "ostracode"<br />
Cyclotron are confined to particular<br />
levels; the latter genus is found where no other<br />
fossils are present and may have been tolerant<br />
of very low oxygen levels. Eight horizons or<br />
bands are defined, based upon occurrence and<br />
abundance of the faunas; these bands are<br />
sometimes separated by clays, possibly relies<br />
of storm events. The logged section partially<br />
overlaps with that of Kaufmann. In our shale<br />
succession, Olenus truncatus, O. wahlenbergi<br />
and O. attenuatus are present in sequence, and<br />
the lengthening and narrowing of the pygidium,<br />
and the development of lateral spines<br />
in O. attenuatus as recorded by Kaufmann, are<br />
confirmed.<br />

The middle Cambrian Lejopyge laevigata<br />
Zone is poorly exposed in Scandinavia. Both<br />
this zone, however, and the succeeding Agnostus<br />
pisiformis Zone are well exposed at a<br />
classic locality at Gudhem, Vastergotland,<br />
south-central Sweden. The sequences consist<br />
of finely laminated alum shale with scattered<br />
stinkstone (orsten) lenses. Three measured and<br />
sampled sections yielded a diverse fossil fauna,<br />
dominated by trilobites, in particular agnostoids,<br />
and the bradoriid Anabarochilina<br />
primordialis. Fossils are excellently preserved<br />
but restricted to the stinkstones. The L. laevigata<br />
Zone at Gudhem includes several geographically<br />
widespread key agnostoid species,<br />
notably Tomagnostella sulcifera, Clavagnostus<br />
spinosus, Glaberagnostus altaicus,<br />
Lejopyge laevigata and L. armata. The L.<br />
laevigata Zone in Scandinavia is here extended<br />
to include the traditional Solenopleura<br />
brachymetopa Zone, and its lower boundary is<br />
defined by the FAD of L. laevigata. Trilobite<br />
evidence shows that the upper part of the<br />
Scandinavian L. laevigata Zone approximately<br />
correlates with the Proagnostus bulbus Zone<br />
of China and elsewhere.<br />

Abundant arthropod trackways, assigned to<br />
Diplichnites gouldi, are described from the<br />
Lower Old Red Sandstone (Early Devonian;<br />
Lochkovian) of Pant-y-Maes quarry, Brecon<br />
Beacons, South Wales. The trackways are preserved<br />
on bedding planes of finely laminated<br />
planar and rippled siltstones. The sedimentology<br />
of the succession indicates that these units<br />
represent bar top and marginal deposits in a<br />
braided fluvial setting. Two trackway types<br />
are recognized (Type A and B); comparisons<br />
86
with contemporaneous myriapodous producers<br />
favour kampecarid and eoarthropleurid myriapods,<br />

trackways indicates that the producers were<br />
not using the most efficient, stable, walking<br />
techniques, but instead utilized in-phase<br />
'swimming stroke'-like gaits. Together with<br />
their occurrence on rippled surfaces, and lateral<br />
displacement of some trackways (attributed<br />
to currents), this indicates that they were<br />
produced sub-aqueously.<br />

A new Late Cambrian trilobite-brachiopod<br />

Severnaya Zemlya of the typically Siberian<br />
trilobite Kujandaspis ketiensis indicates that<br />
even if Severnaya Zemlya lay on a separate<br />
plate, whether Kara or Arctida as postulated<br />
by other authors, then it was still probably not<br />
far from Siberia. However, the associated<br />
brachiopods are partly endemic to Severnaya<br />
Zemlya, thus giving some support to the independent<br />
palaeomagnetic evidence for their<br />
origin on a plate separate from Siberia.<br />

The Cautley Mudstone Formation and Cystoid<br />
Limestone Member of the Ashgill Formation<br />
(Windermere Supergroup; Ashgill Series),<br />
from the Cautley district of northern England,<br />
has yielded an ostracod fauna of more than 30<br />
species. Many of these have short ranges,<br />
permitting recognition of stratigraphically<br />
successive Pusgillian-lower Cautleyan, middle<br />
upper Cautleyan, and Rawtheyan ostracod<br />
faunas. Several species are also known from<br />
the upper Ordovician of North America (Anticosti<br />
Island), Scotland (Girvan district) and<br />
the Baltic region (Estonia, glacial erratic boulders<br />
of northern Germany), providing evidence<br />
to correlate upper Ordovician successions<br />
in these areas. The ostracods include<br />
abundant podocopes, at some horizons accounting<br />
for more than 80% of the fauna. Binodicopes<br />
are also common, but palaeocopes<br />
are rare. Assemblages are typical of a clastic<br />
dominated open marine shelf setting. Diversity<br />
at most horizons is low (c. 3-5 species),<br />
but reaches a peak of between 13-14 species<br />
in middle Cautleyan horizons. Lower diversity<br />
at Pusgillian and Rawtheyan horizons coincides<br />
with the encroachment of deeper marine-shelf<br />
facies which were probably hostile<br />
to Ordovician benthonic ostracods. Some of<br />
the ostracods (particularly Aechmina) have<br />
distributions suggesting tolerance of a range<br />
of mid- to deep shelf benthonic palaeoenvironments,<br />
but none were pelagic. During Ashgill<br />
times the Cautley district (part of palaeocontinental<br />
Avalonia) was replete with ostracod<br />
genera and species which also occur in the<br />
Baltic region (palaeocontinental Baltica, more<br />
than 90% generic similarity) and to a lesser,<br />
but nonetheless significant extent in North<br />
America and Scotland (parts of palaeocontinental<br />
Laurentia). Such trans-Tornquist Sea<br />
and Iapetus Ocean distributional patterns add<br />
to previous ostracod data that support models<br />
which show palaeogeographical proximity of<br />
Avalonia and Baltica, and Avalonia and<br />
Laurentia, by Ashgill times. The widely cited<br />
observation, that trans-Iapetus ostracod faunas<br />
remained strictly provincial until the mid-or<br />
late Silurian, cannot be sustained.<br />

Early Devonian ostracodes are frequently<br />
considered to be only of little or regional biostratigraphical<br />
significance. This seems to be<br />
due to inadequate knowledge: the existing<br />
scattered stratigraphical and geographical data<br />
on ostracodes of different facies do not yet<br />
provide a stable biostratigraphical subdivision.<br />
This paper presents the biostratigraphical results<br />
from a detailed taxonomic study of benthic<br />
ostracodes from Celtiberia (Eastern Iberian<br />
Chains and Eastern Guadarrama) and<br />
from an initial study on hemipelagic ostracodes<br />
from the Spanish Pyrenees. Both of<br />
these ostracode successions are age-controlled<br />
especially by conodonts. The studied ostracodes<br />
from Celtiberia are of an early<br />
Lochkovian to Zlichovian age. Correlations<br />
with other age-revised benthic ostracode collections<br />
revealed that 12 species have comparatively<br />
short ranges and occur in at least<br />
two distant paleogeographical areas. Among<br />
these, Placentella heraultiana Groos-<br />
Uffenorde, 1979, is considered as an index<br />
fossil for the gronbergi to nothoperbonus<br />
conodont zone (Zlichovian). The occurrences<br />
and revised ranges of an additional 25 longranging<br />
taxa are documented. Besides, 38<br />
short-ranging taxa only known from Celtiberia<br />
provide regional biostratigraphical data. Early<br />
Lochkovian to earliest Pragian ostracodes<br />
from hemipelagic facies of the Spanish Pyrenees<br />
are documented here for the first time.<br />
These well-dated taxa show a remarkable biostratigraphical<br />
succession: in almost every<br />
conodont zone, some taxa newly appear and<br />
others disappear. Most of these taxa are new<br />
species and have short ranges. This relatively<br />
high number of short-ranging taxa that so far<br />
are exclusively known from the Pyrenees reflects<br />
the inadequate taxonomic database for<br />
Lochkovian and Pragian ostracodes. We expect<br />
to find many of them in coeval strata of<br />
similar sedimentary facies, especially in Armorica,<br />
northern Africa, and Nevada. The biostratigraphical<br />
studies of the Spanish ostracodes<br />
are promising. Further studies on ostracodes<br />
with independent and detailed age control<br />
and a thorough study of long-ranging taxa<br />
and taxonomic groups are required to improve<br />
the biostratigraphical application of Early Devonian<br />
ostracodes.<br />

Two new species of the genus Eumyllocerus<br />
Sharp, 1896, of the subfamily Entiminae<br />
Schoenherr, 1823, are described from China.<br />
Eumyllocerus longisetus sp. n. may be distinguished<br />
from other species of the genus by its<br />
long bristle-like, erect setae on the intervals,<br />
each of which is longer than the width of the<br />
second interval, the setae arranged in double<br />
rows, and its shell-like, shiny, dense, metallic<br />
green scales. Eumyllocerus rotundicorpus sp.<br />
n. may be distinguished from any other<br />
Eumyllocerus species by its oval and inflated<br />
elytral shape, short stout metepisternum, small<br />
humeri, elytral setae shorter than 0.5 times the<br />
width of the second interval, the setae arranged<br />
in double rows, and its golden copper<br />
and pearl gray scales. The taxonomy of the<br />
genus is discussed. The two new species are<br />
described and habitus photographs and figures<br />
of diagnostic characters are provided. The<br />
type specimens of the new species are deposited<br />
in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese<br />
Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (holotype<br />
and paratypes) and the Korean Entomological<br />
Institute, Korea University, Seoul, Korea<br />

Fossil freshwater ostracode assemblages<br />
recovered from mastodon [Mammut americanum<br />
(Kerr, 1792)] sites in New York State<br />
differ from their modern counterparts found at<br />
those localities. Modern and fossil ostracode<br />
assemblages from the mastodon sites of Hyde<br />
Park in Dutchess County, North Java in<br />
Wyoming County and Watkins Glen in Chemung<br />
County were studied along with associated<br />
modern hydrochemical and environmental<br />
information. Shifts in species occurrence<br />
and abundance are evident upon examination<br />
of the modern sediments from the Hyde<br />
Park site at Lozier Pond, and Java Lake, New<br />
York. Modern analog analyses indicate ostracode<br />
assemblages at fossil sites Lozier and<br />
Java resemble those found today in Canada<br />
and along the United States/Canadian border.<br />
Using ostracodes as a proxy for water chemistry,<br />
salinity, and relative temperature at mastodon<br />
sites has begun to demonstrate the environmental<br />
effects of the last deglaciation in<br />
New York, and has provided additional insight<br />
into the paleoecology of late Pleistocene micro-<br />
and megafauna.<br />

A new genus Amblomma gen. nov. of fossil<br />
beetles is erected and can be assigned to the<br />
family Ommatidae because its two procoxal<br />
cavities are! contiguous and the articulations<br />
of the abdominal ventrites are abutting. The<br />
new genus is similar to Zygadenia Handlirsch,<br />
1906 (= Notocupes Ponomarenko, 1964),<br />
Tetraphalerus Waterhouse, 1901, Rhobdocupes<br />
Ponomarenko, 1966 and Sinocupes Lin,<br />
1976, but can be distinguished from other<br />
genera according to the following characters:<br />
the second segment of antennae is shorter than<br />
the third one in length; the posterior tarsi with<br />
the basal segment is obviously shorter than the<br />
three following taken together in length; the<br />
antennae reach the posterior ridge of<br />
prothroax in length, and the sides of the<br />
prothroax with serrulate margin. Four new<br />
species of the new genus are described and<br />
figured: Amblomma psilata gen. et sp. nov.,<br />
Amblomma rudis gen. et sp. nov., Amblomma<br />
epicharis gen. et sp. nov., and Amblomma stabilis<br />
gen. et sp. nov. A key to species within<br />
this new genus is provided. All the specimens<br />
are collected from the Late Jurassic Yixian<br />

The Hyde Park Mastodon of eastern New<br />
York State is a 90+% complete specimen dating<br />
to 11,480 +/- 60 C-14 yr BP, at the very<br />
end of the Younger Dryas Chronozone (YDC).<br />
Approximately 500 g of peat and calcareous<br />
mud was screen-washed and examined from<br />
each of nine 10-cm-thick slabs collected from<br />
a trench through well-stratified pond sediments<br />
adjacent to the site within the basin<br />
from which the mastodon remains were recovered.<br />
Subfossil insect remains were recovered<br />
from each sample, although abundances<br />
are positively correlated with organic content<br />
and decreased with depth in the section. Few<br />
were sufficiently complete to be identifiable to<br />
the species level, and there was insufficient<br />
differentiation between samples to allow detection<br />
of any temporal trends in the fauna.<br />
Two species, the carabid Amara alpina<br />
(Paykull, 1790), and the staphylinid Tachinus<br />
nearcticus Campbell, 1973, are particularly<br />
key environmental indicators; overall species<br />
composition of the fauna is consistent with a<br />
small boreal pond with developing emergent<br />
herbaceous vegetation and mammalian dung,<br />
surrounded by open spruce woodland or parkland.<br />
The environment suggested by the Hyde<br />
Park beetle fauna suggests conditions comparable<br />
to those at or near modern treeline in<br />
northern Quebec and Ontario, with July temperatures<br />
as much as ca. 6-7 degrees C colder<br />
than those typical of Hyde Park today.<br />

Palaeobiogeographic patterns of Early Jurassic<br />
ostracods from the northern and southern<br />
hemispheres (96 sections located in<br />
Europe, North Africa, Western Australia and<br />
North and South America) based on 243 species-level<br />
records document global patterns of<br />
distribution that can be compared to those<br />
previously published on ostracods from the<br />
European Epicontinental Sea and Tethyan and<br />
South Panthalassa areas. All described records<br />
of ostracods from both hemispheres spanning<br />
the Hettangian to Early Toarcian have been<br />
compiled and verified, and their patterns of<br />
origin and distribution have been interpreted.<br />
Jaccard coefficient of similarity was used to<br />
asses similarities among European, American<br />
and Tethyan ostracod shelf faunas. The numerical<br />
analysis shows a progressive longitudinal<br />
gradient in provincialism through the<br />
Early Jurassic, consistent with the northward<br />
drift of Tethyan ostracod faunas towards the<br />
European Epicontinental Sea and the southward<br />
movement of European taxa into Tethys<br />
and Panthalassa oceans. The spread of cosmopolitan<br />
species and extinction of endemic species,<br />
allied to the disappearance of geographical<br />
barriers, warmer climate conditions and<br />
rising sea levels can explain the reduction in<br />
ostracod diversity and the east-west provincialism<br />
throughout the Early Jurassic. Interchange<br />
between hemispheres, including bipolar<br />
distributions, are recognized from the Sinemurian<br />
time, pointing out that for most of<br />
the studied period, the climate worldwide was<br />
warm and tropical.<br />

Silicified sclerites of the latest middle<br />
Cambrian trilobites, Cyclolorenzella convexa<br />
and Diceratocephalus cornutus, have been<br />
recovered from the Sesong Formation, Korea.<br />
Their morphological similarity and stratigraphic<br />
occurrences suggest that D. cornutus<br />
is a descendant of C. convexa. The ontogenies<br />
of both trilobites demonstrate that a pair of<br />
long frontal horns in the cephalon of D. cornutus<br />
is an evolutionarily novel structure. It is<br />
inferred that redeployment of some preexisting<br />
regulatory gene played a significant<br />
role in constructing the frontal horns of D.<br />
cornutus. The frontal horns may have been a<br />
defensive structure to deter predators. The facial<br />
suture of D. cornutus, which extends onto<br />
the frontal horns and splits them into the dorsal<br />
and ventral halves, was a solution to enable<br />
easier forward egression during ecdysis.<br />

The studied nine sections yielded 60 taxa<br />

The P/E transition is characterized by the appearance<br />
of new taxa rather than extinctions.<br />
In the late Late Paleocene and Early Eocene,<br />
changes in the paleobathymetry from deeper<br />
marine environments in the distal area in the<br />
south to shallower marine environments in the<br />
proximal area in the north become pronounced.<br />
Many of the recorded taxa have a wide geographic<br />
distribution throhghout the Middle<br />
east and North Africa. Similarities with basins<br />
of West Africa are also found, reflecting faunal<br />
exchanges between this area and southern<br />

Latest Emsian sediments at the famous<br />
mud-mound- and trilobite-locality Hamar<br />
Laghdad yielded some red-coloured remains<br />
of phacopid trilobites. Closer examination revealed<br />
that the eyes of these phacopids are<br />
often greenish in colour. EDX-analyses<br />
showed that the lenses retainced their ogiginal<br />
calcitic composition, possibly greenish due to<br />
Fe- and Mn-impurities, while most of the exoskeleton<br />
was silicified. The silicified parts<br />
containelevated concentrations of iron which<br />
causes the red colour. This phenomenon is<br />
explained by the porosity of the exoskeleton in<br />
contrast to the homogeneous and massive construction<br />
of the lenses and their Mg-content.<br />
These incompletely silicified trilobites nabled<br />
a reconstruction of the silicification process in<br />
trilobites. Teir digenetic alteration probably<br />
occurred as a result of events associated with<br />
the Cretaceous transgression.<br />

Both genera were previously unknown in<br />
Iran. the occurrence of Ovalocephalus represents<br />
the earliest sign of west-ward taxon migration<br />
from China towards higher latitudes<br />
along the West Gondwanan margin, which<br />
may be related to global warming, after a short<br />
episode of cooler climate in the early to mid<br />
Darriwilian. Patterns of biogeographical distribution<br />
of Ovalocephalus and Neseuretinus<br />
suggest that Central Iran was part of an "overlap<br />

The Palaeontinidae (Insecta: Cicadomorpha)<br />
from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone<br />
of Bavaria are revised. The diagnostic characters<br />
for three monotypic genera Eocicada Oppenheim,<br />
1888, Prolystra Oppenheim, 1888<br />
and Archipsyche Handlirsch, 1906 are reassessed<br />
based on newly discovered material.<br />

oppenheimi Handlirsch, 1906, Limacodites<br />

braueri Handlirsch, 1906 are considered to<br />
be junior synonyms of Prolystra lithographica<br />
Oppenheim, 1888. Eocicada lameerei Handlirsch,<br />
1908 is a junior synonym of E. microcephala<br />
Oppenheim, 1888. A key to the species<br />
of Solnhofen Palaeontinidae is presented.<br />
Solnhofen Palaeontinidae and most Cretaceous<br />
Palaeontinidae most probably form a<br />
monophyletic group based on the following<br />
characters: costal area narrow, vein RA<br />
branching from stem R basally, vein ScP not<br />
fused with vein RA, clavus much reduced and<br />
hindwing smaller. Furthermore, Solnhofen<br />
Palaeontinidae are probably basal to Cretaceous<br />
Palaeontinidae by the mesonotum lacking<br />
distinct longitudinal carinae. A fast succession<br />
from early to more derived Palacontinidae<br />
took place during Late Jurassic times.<br />
Early Palaeontinidae declined sharply in the<br />
Late Jurassic, probably owing to the rise of<br />
newly evolved insectivorous animals like<br />
early birds and mammals. Late Palaeontinidae<br />
with better flight ability survived and became<br />
a dominant insect group during latest Jurassic<br />
times.<br />

Calcite isocrinid ossicles show perfectly<br />
preserved micro- and nanostructural details<br />
typical of diagenetically unaltered echinoderm<br />
skeleton. Stereom pores are filled with ferroan<br />
calcite cements that sealed off the skeleton<br />
from diagenetic fluids and prevented structural<br />
and geochemical alteration. In contrast with<br />
high-Mg calcite skeleton of moder, tropical<br />
echinoderms, the fossil crinoid ossicles from<br />
Gnaszyn contain only 5.0-5.3 mole% of<br />
MgCO3. This low Mg content can be a result<br />
of either a low temperature environment and<br />
/or low Mg/Ca seawater ratio.<br />

Polonica, 2009, 54(1): 77-98<br />
Results indicate that distribution of crinoids<br />
well corresponds to particular facies. Ossicles<br />
of Chariocrinus and Balanocrinus dominate in<br />
deeper-water and lower-energy cacies, with<br />
the former extending further into shallowerwater<br />
facies than the latter. Isocrinus dominates<br />
in shallower water carbonate facies, accompanied<br />
by rarer comatulids, and was also<br />
present in the more marine parts of lagoons.<br />
Pentacrinites remains are abundant in very<br />
high-energy oolite shoal lithofacies. The presence<br />
of millericrinids within one, partly allochthonous<br />
lithofacies suggests the presence<br />
of an otherwise unknown hard substrate from<br />
which they have been transported. These results<br />
are compared to crinoid assemblages<br />
from other Mesozoic localities, and it is evident<br />
that the same morphological adaptations<br />
are present within crinoids from simlar lithofacies<br />
throughout the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous.<br />

2003, 140(5): 549-571<br />
Graptolites from more than 60 horizons in<br />
the basinal Caradoc succession of southwest<br />
Wales, between Fishguard and Cardigan, allow<br />
recognition of the multidens, clingani and<br />
linearis biozones. The biostratigraphy permits<br />
recognition of major differences in the sedimentary<br />
rock-sequence north and south of<br />
structures associated with the Fishguard-<br />
Cardigan Fault Belt. The Penyraber Mudstone<br />
Formation, disconformably overlying the<br />
Fishguard Volcanic Group (Llanvirn), is<br />
partly of multidens Biozone age. It is succeeded<br />
south of the Newport Sands Fault by<br />
the Cwm yr Eglwys Mudstone Formation of<br />
clingani to linearis biozones age. North of the<br />
fault the Cwm yr Eglwys Mudstone Formation<br />
is replaced laterally by the northwardsthickening,<br />
sandstone turbidite-dominated Dinas<br />
Island Formation (clingani and linearis<br />
biozones). Graptolite stratigraphical distribution<br />
indicates that Dicranograptus clingani<br />
occurs only rarely within the caudatus Subzone<br />
of the clingani Biozone and that Climacograptus<br />
antiquus s.l. also does not range<br />
above the lower part of the clingani Biozone.<br />
The first occurrence of Dicellograptus morrisi,<br />
within the upper clingani Biozone, confirms<br />
its value as a marker for the morrisi Subzone,<br />
and is associated with the first occurrences of<br />
Diplacanthograptus dorotheus and Normalograptus<br />
minimus. Dicellograptus flexuosus,<br />
used to indicate the morrisi Subzone elsewhere,<br />
occurs throughout the clingani Biozone<br />
in the Cardigan area. The linearis Biozone is<br />
recognized by Climacograptus tubuliferus.<br />
Oxic bottom conditions in early and early<br />
mid-Caradoc times largely precluded the influx<br />
of, or preservation of, graptolite faunas in<br />
the Penyraber Mudstone Formation. Anoxic<br />
mudstones of the Cwm yr Eglwys Mudstone<br />
and Dinas Island formations preserve graptolite<br />
assemblages of 21 and 26 species, signalling<br />
strong open marine influences which persisted<br />
in this area until late Caradoc times.<br />
This contrasts with the shelfal faunas in the<br />
Whitland area (south Pembrokeshire), where<br />
the late Caradoc is dominated by low-diversity<br />
Normalograptus-dominated assemblages.<br />

Twenty-two graptolite species are described<br />
from the Tremadoc portion of the Road River<br />
Group. In a 220 m thick, graptolite-rich section<br />
on Peel River, six graptolite biozones are<br />
recognized which in ascending order are:<br />
Staurograptus dichotomus, Anisograptus matanensis,<br />
Adelograptus cf A. tenellus, Adelograptus<br />
antiquus, Kiaerograptus pritchardi and<br />
Paradelograptus kinnegraptoides. The Psigraptus<br />
fauna appears to be confined to a single<br />
bedding-plane within a thick interval dominated<br />
by Adelograptus cf. A. tenellus, and for<br />
this reason we propose a new zone characterized<br />
by the latter species rather than identify a<br />
Psigraptus Biozone as in China. The Adelograptus<br />
cf. A. tenellus Biozone has yielded<br />
Adelograptus bulmani Spjeldnaes 1963,<br />
which we propose as the type species for the<br />
new genus Ancoragraptus. Graptolites recorded<br />
from the Tremadoc of the Yukon for<br />
the first time are: Ancoragraptus bulmani,<br />
Clonograptus magnificus, C. cf. C. multiplex,<br />
C. cf C. rigidus, Hunnegraptus copiosus, Kiaerograptus<br />

Late Ordovician to earliest Silurian is an<br />
important geological period marked by large<br />
geological and biological events. However,<br />
the strata and fossils of this interval are not<br />
complete in many parts of the world. Based on<br />
studies of 43 sites in South China, in particular<br />
the continuous sections on the Yangtze platform,<br />
we recognize a complete succession including<br />
seven graptolite zones and two shelly<br />
faunas. In ascending order, the graptolite<br />
zones are the Dicellograptus complanatus,<br />
Dicellograptus complexus, Paraorthograptus<br />
pacificus (including Lower Subzone, Tangyagraptus<br />
typicus Subzone and Diceratograptus<br />
mirus Subzone), Normalograptus extraordinarius-Normalograptus<br />
ojsuensis, Normalograptus<br />

and Parakidograptus acuminatus zones. The<br />
shelly faunas are the Foliomena-Nankinolithus<br />
and Hirnantia faunas, which may be correlated<br />
with D. complanatus Zone and N. extraordinarius-N.<br />
ojsuensis to part of N. persculptus<br />
zones respectively. The biozonation through<br />
this interval from the Yangtze region can be<br />
correlated with that of other parts of the world<br />
such as Dob's Linn in Scotland, Spain and<br />
Portugal, Thuringia-Saxonia-Bavaria, Bohemia,<br />
Poland, Kazakhstan, Kolyma, Malaya<br />
Peninsula, Yukon, Canadian Arctic Islands,<br />
Nevada, Argentina, Niger and Victoria, Australia.<br />
The Hirnantian Substage, which has<br />
been proposed by us recently, includes the N<br />
extraordinarius-N. ojsuensis Zone, Hirnantia<br />
fauna and N. persculptus Zone. The base of<br />
the Hirnantian Substage is marked by the First<br />
Appearance Data (FADs) of N. extraordinarius<br />
and A! ojsuensis, which have been determined<br />
to be synchronous on a global scale.<br />

A pleurodontan iguanian from the Green<br />
River Formation (Eocene) is described in detail<br />
and named. The new taxon is known only<br />
from a single specimen preserving all areas of<br />
the body. Although many of the bone surfaces<br />
are eroded, almost all of the skeleton is present<br />
and some cartilaginous elements are preserved.<br />
The new taxon shares important characteristics<br />
with the extant anisolepines and<br />
leiosaurines, including the morphology and<br />
placement of the caudal autotomy planes, the<br />
postxiphisternal inscriptional ribs, and notched<br />
or fenestrated clavicles that are expanded<br />
proximally. This is the earliest complete iguanian<br />
known from the Americas and the earliest<br />
known iguanian that may be confidently referred<br />
to an extant "family." A phylogenetic<br />
analysis including this taxon and other fossil<br />
and extant iguanians offers some support for<br />

the monophyly of Polychrotidae sensu lato,<br />

Scattered with numerous salt lakes and<br />
≈2,700–3,200 m above sea level, the giant<br />
Qaidam inland basin on the northern Tibetan<br />
Plateau has experienced continuing aridification<br />
since the beginning of the Late Cenozoic<br />
as a result of the India–Asia plate collision<br />
and associated uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.<br />
Previous evidence of aridification comes<br />
mainly from evaporite deposits and salinitytolerant<br />
invertebrate fossils. Vertebrate fossils<br />
were rare until recent discoveries of abundant<br />
fish. Here, we report an unusual cyprinid fish,<br />
Hsianwenia wui, gen. et sp. nov., from Pliocene<br />
lake deposits of the Qaidam Basin, characterized<br />
by an extraordinarily thick skeleton<br />
that occupied almost the entire body. Such<br />
enormous skeletal thickening, apparently leaving<br />
little room for muscles, is unknown among<br />
extant fish. However, an almost identical condition<br />
occurs in the much smaller cyprinodontid<br />
Aphanius crassicaudus (Cyprinodonyiformes),<br />
collected from evaporites exposed along<br />
the northern margins of the Mediterranean Sea<br />
during the Messinian desiccation period. H.<br />
wui and A. crassicaudus both occur in similar<br />
deposits rich in carbonates (CaCO 3 ) and sulfates<br />
(CaSO 4 ), indicating that both were<br />
adapted to the extreme conditions resulting<br />
from the aridification in the two areas. The<br />
overall skeletal thickening was most likely<br />
formed through deposition of the oversaturated<br />
calcium and was apparently a normal<br />
feature of the biology and growth of these fish.<br />

泥 盆 纪 Errivaspis Waynensis 刚 性 头 盾 的<br />
流 线 模 式 = Flow pattern around the rigid cephalic<br />
shield of the Devonian Agnathan Errivaspis<br />
Waynensis (Pteraspidiformes: Heterostraci).<br />
( 英 文 ). Botella H; Fariña R A. Palaeontology,<br />
2008, 51(5): 1141-1150<br />
Palaeozoic armoured agnathans (or ostracoderms)<br />
are characterised by having an external,<br />
bone shield enclosing the anterior part<br />
of their bodies, which demonstrate great diversity<br />
of both forms and sizes. The functional<br />
significance of these cephalic shields remains<br />
unclear (they may have been a functional analogue<br />
of the vertebral column, or merely afforded<br />
protection). Here we assess the importance<br />
of the cephalic shield in terms of locomotion.<br />
In order to do this, we have studied<br />
flow patterns of the Devonian heterostracan<br />
Errivaspis waynensis (White, 1935), using an<br />
anatomically correct model of E. waynensis<br />
positioned at different pitching angles. The<br />
fluid flow was visualised in a wind tunnel,<br />
using planar light sheet techniques, adding<br />
vaporised propylene glycol to the fluid. The<br />
flow pattern over the cephalic shield of Errivaspis<br />
is dominated by the formation of leading-edge<br />
vortices (LEVs). When the model<br />
was positioned at angles of attack of -2 degrees<br />
or higher a pair of nearly symmetrical,<br />
counter-rotating primary vortices were produced,<br />
which flowed downstream over the<br />
upper surface of the cephalic shield. At moderate<br />
angles of attack, LEVs remained attached<br />
to the dorsal surface, but, as the angle<br />
of attack increased above 7 degrees, vortices<br />
began to separate from the surface at posterior<br />
locations. At a high angles of attack (around<br />
12 degrees or 13 degrees), vortex breakdown<br />
(or vortex burst) occured. The body-induced<br />
vortical flow around the cephalic shield is<br />
very similar to the that described over delta<br />
wing aircraft. This strategy generates lift<br />
forces through vortex generation (vortex lift).<br />
Based on this analogue and knowing that Errivaspis<br />
lacked pectoral fins or any other obvious<br />
control surfaces, vortex lift forces added<br />
through this mechanism may have played a<br />
major role in the locomotion of these primitive<br />
fishes, not only to counteract the negative<br />
buoyancy of the fish, but also as a means of<br />
manoeuvring.<br />

Percid remains from Pliocene deposits on<br />
Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada, are identified<br />
as a species of Sander, similar to the walleye<br />

of Europe and western Asia. They are<br />
named as a new species, Sander teneri. These<br />
remains are the most northerly percid elements<br />
found to date and suggest the palaeoenvironment<br />
was significantly warmer in the<br />
Pliocene than it is currently. The fossil remains<br />
show the presence in North America of<br />
the family Percidae as well as the genus<br />
Sander prior to the Pleistocene, indicating a<br />
previously proposed Pleistocene immigration<br />
from Europe or Asia can be discounted. These<br />
fossils contradict an earlier hypothesis that<br />
percids, in particular Sander, crossed from<br />
Eurasia to North America in the Pleistocene;<br />
instead, the fossils show percids were already<br />
in the area by the Pliocene.<br />

Holland T. Alcheringa, 2009, 33(4): 339 - 353<br />
A new cosmine-covered, tetrapodomorph<br />
fish Owensia chooi gen. et sp. nov. is described,<br />
based on a near-complete, uncrushed<br />
ethmosphenoid from the Middle Devonian<br />
sediments (Kevington Creek Formation) at<br />
Owens Creek, South Blue Range, Victoria,<br />
Australia. An anteroposteriorly directed basipterygoid<br />
process, an optic nerve foramen positioned<br />
dorsal to the basipterygoid process, and<br />
an oculomotor nerve foramen located posterodorsal<br />
to the basipterygoid process are established<br />
as autapomorphies. Owensia shares a<br />
broad ethmosphenoid shield, a lack of discernible<br />
sutures between the bones of the<br />
snout and a dorsoventrally shallow skull with<br />
cosmine-covered members of the Canowindridae.<br />
Owensia also shares the first two of<br />
these features and an occluded view of the<br />
nostrils from the dorsal surface with Gyroptychius<br />
australis. However, the phylogenetic<br />
relationships between these taxa remain unclear.<br />
Superficial comparisons between Owensia<br />
and the Northern Hemisphere Lamprotolepis<br />
are rejected, with the position of the latter<br />
within the Tetrapodomorpha being questioned.<br />
A benthic niche for Owensia is suggested<br />
based on the presence of a dorsoventrally shallow<br />
skull.<br />

To this day, the only sturgeon to be listed<br />
on the French vertebrate inventory is the<br />
99
European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio Linnaeus,<br />
1758). The recent study of sturgeon remains<br />
on various French archaeological sites shows<br />
the presence of another species: the Atlantic<br />
sturgeon (A. oxyrinchus Mitchill 1815). This<br />
species already existed in the French Atlantic<br />
region at the end of the Neolithic Age<br />
5000 years ago and was still to be found<br />
3000 years later. Thus the A. oxyrinchus determined<br />
in several Baltic medieval sites are<br />
neither the only nor the first sturgeons to have<br />
inhabited European waters. Sturgeon restoration<br />
projects in European rivers necessitate a<br />
precise determination of the native species. In<br />
the case of relict or extinct species, the bone<br />
remains found on archaeological sites represent<br />
the most reliable source of information.<br />
This discovery will also be the starting point<br />
of palaeogenetical research (mitochondrial<br />
and cellular aDNA) and will give information<br />
about the genetic diversity of these threatened<br />
or recently extinct populations.<br />

sharks (genus Hexanchus) inferred from their<br />
fossil record and by comparison to the life<br />
history of its two recent species. As for the<br />
observed ontogenic diet change of the living<br />
bluntnose sixgill shark (H. griseus), its ancestors<br />
appear to have developed a similar penchant<br />
for dining on marine mammals at the<br />
end of the Paleogene with a remarkably wellcorrelated<br />
timing.<br />

爆 发 形 态 变 异 = Explosive morphological<br />
diversification of spiny-finned teleost fishes in<br />
the aftermath of the end-Cretaceous extinction.<br />
( 英 文 ). Friedman M. Proceedings of the Royal<br />
Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010,<br />
277(1688): 1675-1683<br />
The spiny-finned teleost fishes (Acanthomorpha)<br />
include nearly one-third of all living<br />
vertebrate species and assume a bewildering<br />
array of bodyplans, but the macroevolutionary<br />
assembly of modern acanthomorph biodiversity<br />
remains largely unexplored. Here, I reconstruct<br />
the trajectory of morphological diversification<br />
in this major radiation from its<br />
first appearance in the Late Cretaceous to the<br />
Miocene using a geometric morphometric database<br />
comprising more than 600 extinct species<br />
known from complete body fossils. The<br />
anatomical diversity (disparity) of acanthomorphs<br />
is low throughout the Cretaceous, increases<br />
sharply and significantly in the wake<br />
of the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–P) extinction,<br />
and shows little change throughout subsequent<br />
Cenozoic intervals. This pattern of<br />
morphological diversification appears robust<br />
to two potential biasing factors: the ‘Lagerstätten<br />
effect’, and the non-random segregation<br />
of rare and common taxa along phenotypic<br />
axes. Dissecting the trajectory of acanthomorph<br />
radiation along phylogenetic lines<br />
reveals that the abrupt post-extinction increase<br />
in disparity is driven largely by the proliferation<br />
of trophically diverse modern groups<br />
within Percomorpha, a spiny-fin subclade containing<br />
more than 15 000 living species and<br />
identified as showing a substantially elevated<br />
diversification rate relative to background vertebrate<br />
levels. A major component of the<br />
Palaeogene acanthomorph radiation reflects<br />
colonization of morphospace previously occupied<br />
by non-acanthomorph victims of the K–P.<br />
However, other aspects of morphological diversification<br />
cannot be explained by this simple<br />
ecological release model, suggesting that<br />
multiple factors contributed to the prolific<br />
anatomical radiation of acanthomorphs.<br />

A second species of the placoderm genus<br />
Placolepis (PI. harajica sp. nov.), based on a<br />
single articulated specimen from Givetian-<br />
Frasnian strata in the MacDonnell Ranges,<br />
demonstrates the occurrence of this taxon<br />
across the Australian craton. Placolepis (order<br />
Phyllolepida) is endemic to east Gondwana,<br />

occur until Late Devonian (Famennian) time<br />

in the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Russia,<br />

space-time distribution of the Phyllolepida is<br />
inconsistent with palaeomagnetic evidence<br />
indicating a wide equatorial ocean between<br />
Gondwana and Laurussia in Late Devonian<br />
time. This new species provides additional<br />
evidence supporting a Gondwana origin for<br />
the group, and later access to northern landmasses<br />
resulting from closure of the ocean<br />
between Gondwana and Laurussia and continental<br />
connection at or near the Frasnian-<br />
Famennian boundary.<br />

temnospondyls 的 结 果 = Calibrated diversity,<br />
tree topology and the mother of mass extinctions:<br />
the lesson of temnospondyls. ( 英 文 ).<br />
Ruta M; Benton M J. Palaeontology, 2008,<br />
51(6): 1261-1288<br />
Three family-level cladistic analyses of<br />
temnospondyl amphibians are used to evaluate<br />
the impact of taxonomic rank, tree topology,<br />
and sample size on diversity profiles, origination<br />
and extinction rates, and faunal turnover.<br />
Temnospondyls are used as a case study for<br />
investigating replacement of families across<br />
the Permo-Triassic boundary and modality of<br />
recovery in the aftermath of the end-Permian<br />
mass extinction. Both observed and inferred<br />
(i.e. tree topology-dependent) values of family<br />
diversity have a negligible effect on the shape<br />
of the diversity curve. However, inferred values<br />
produce both a flattening of the curve<br />
throughout the Cisuralian and a less pronounced<br />
increase in family diversity from<br />
Tatarian through to Induan than do observed<br />
values. Diversity curves based upon counts of<br />
genera and species display a clearer distinction<br />
between peaks and troughs. We use rarefaction<br />
techniques (specifically, rarefaction of<br />
the number of genera and species within families)<br />
to evaluate the effect of sampling size on<br />
the curve of estimated family-level diversity<br />
during five time bins (Carboniferous; Cisuralian;<br />
Guadalupian–Lopingian; Early Triassic;<br />
Middle Triassic–Cretaceous). After applying<br />
rarefaction, we note that Cisuralian and<br />
Early Triassic diversity values are closer to<br />
one another than they are when the observed<br />
number of families is used; both values are<br />
also slightly higher than the Carboniferous<br />
estimated diversity. The Guadalupian–<br />
Lopingian value is lower than raw data indicate,<br />
reflecting in part the depauperate land<br />
vertebrate diversity from the late Cisuralian to<br />
the middle Guadalupian (Olson's gap). The<br />
time-calibrated origination and extinction rate<br />
trajectories plot out close to one another and<br />
102
show a peak in the Induan, regardless of the<br />
tree used to construct them. Origination and<br />
extinction trajectories are disjunct in at least<br />
some Palaeozoic intervals, and background<br />
extinctions exert a significant role in shaping<br />
temnospondyl diversity in the lowermost Triassic.<br />
Finally, species-, genus-, and family<br />
trajectories consistently reveal a rapid increase<br />
in temnospondyl diversity from latest Permian<br />
to earliest Triassic as well as a decline near the<br />
end of the Cisuralian. However, during the<br />
rest of the Cisuralian family diversity increases<br />
slightly and there is no evidence for a<br />
steady decline, contrary to previous reports.<br />

Although ongoing, excavations at the Valdavara-1<br />
cave (Galicia, northwestern Spain)<br />
have already yielded a rich and highly diverse<br />
terrestrial small vertebrate assemblage.<br />
Among the findings, two precaudal vertebrae<br />
from the Holocene level (with a radiocarbon<br />
age of 4490 ± 40 years BP) are attributed to<br />
the golden-striped salamander (Chioglossa<br />
lusitanica) and constitute the first fossil evidence<br />
for this species. Because of the poor<br />
intraspecific genetic diversity of living Spanish<br />
populations it has been proposed that they<br />
have a recent origin linked with a postglacial<br />
expansion from southern refuges. The palaeontological<br />
data presented in this paper thus<br />
show that the northernmost expansion of the<br />
species took place at least as early as the<br />
Chalcolithic period and permit the estimation<br />
of its dispersion speed within its potential distribution<br />
area.<br />

A new hadrosauriform dinosaur, Jintasaurus<br />
meniscus gen. et sp. nov., is reported from<br />
the Lower Cretaceous Xinminpu Group of the<br />
Yujingzi Basin, Jiuquan area, Gansu Province,<br />
northwestern China. It is represented by an<br />
articulated posterior portion of the skull and is<br />
unique in having an extremely long, pendant<br />
and crescentic paroccipital process with its<br />
ventral tip projecting far beyond the ventral<br />
level of the occipital condyle. Phylogenetic<br />
analysis recovers Jintasaurus as the sistertaxon<br />
to Hadrosauroidea, more derived than<br />
other Early Cretaceous hadrosauriforms and<br />
Protohadros from the early Late Cretaceous<br />
of North America. This discovery adds one<br />
more close relative to Hadrosauroidea in Asia<br />
and supports an Asian origin for this group.<br />

A. Lethaia, 2005, 38(3): 211 - 218<br />
The origin of manus-only and manus dominated<br />
sauropod trackways has been a matter of<br />
intense debate since two hyphothesis exist: (a)<br />
manus-only and manus-dominated trackways<br />
result from a 'swimming' sauropod, and (b)<br />
they result from a selective underprint phenomenon<br />
that only leaves the manus recorded.<br />
Several new sauropod trackways are reported<br />
in the Fumanya tracksite area (Maastrichtian),<br />
in SE Pyrenees, where both tracks and undertracks<br />
are found on the same stratigraphic<br />
bedding surface. In one of the trackways,<br />
footprint morphology together with the trackway<br />
pattern displays a clear succession of manus-only<br />
impressions attributed to a sauropod<br />
dinosaur in a walking gait. The ichnological<br />
comparison between the manus-only trackway<br />
with the other complete trackway (manus-pes)<br />
display an identical distribution of the manus<br />
pattern. This fact clearly points towards an<br />
underprint phenomenon as the origin for manus-only<br />
trackways, since it is rather unlikely<br />
that the same pattern would completely match<br />
different locomotion behaviours such as walking<br />
and swimming. Therefore, we suggest an<br />
interpretation based on the differential loading<br />
between the hindfoot and the forefoot on an<br />
upper stratigraphic track-level, for the studied<br />
manus-only trackway.<br />

dinosaurs on parade: a review of dinosaur<br />
migration. ( 英 文 ). Bell P R; Snively E. Alcheringa,<br />
2008, 32(3): 271 - 284<br />
Cretaceous polar dinosaur faunas were<br />
taxonomically diverse, which suggests varied<br />
strategies for coping with the climatic stress of<br />
high latitudes. Some polar dinosaurs, particularly<br />
larger taxa such as the duckbill Edmontosaurus<br />
Lambe, 1917, were biomechanically<br />
and energetically capable of migrating over<br />
long distances, up to 2600 km. However, current<br />
evidence strongly suggests many polar<br />
dinosaurs (including sauropods, large and<br />
small theropods, and ankylosaurs of New Zealand)<br />
overwintered in preference to migration.<br />
Certain groups also appear more predisposed<br />
to overwintering based on their physical inability<br />
(related to biomechanics, natural history,<br />
or absolute size) to migrate, such as ankylosaurs<br />
and many small taxa, including hypsilophodontids<br />
and troodontids. Low-nutrient<br />
subsistence is found to be the best overwintering<br />
method overall, although the likelihood<br />
that other taxa employed alternative means<br />
remains plausible. Despite wide distribution of<br />
some genera, species-level identification is<br />
required to assess the applicability of such<br />
distributions to migration distances. Presently,<br />
such resolution is not available or contradicts<br />
the migration hypothesis.<br />

蛇 颈 龙 类 颅 内 解 剖 —— 功 能 性 次 生 颚 板 的<br />
证 据 = The internal cranial anatomy of the<br />

for a functional secondary palate. ( 英<br />
文 ). Buchy M; Frey E; Salisbury S W. Lethaia,<br />
2006, 39(4): 289 - 303<br />
In the late 19th Century, the choanae (or internal<br />
nares) of the Plesiosauria were identified<br />
as a pair of palatal openings located rostral<br />
to the external nares, implying a rostrally<br />
directed respiratory duct and air path inside<br />
the rostrum. Despite obvious functional shortcomings,<br />
this idea was firmly established in<br />
the scientific literature by the first decade of<br />
104
the 20th Century. The functional consequences<br />
of this morphology were only reexamined<br />
by the end of the 20th Century,<br />
leading to the conclusion that the choanae<br />
were not involved in respiration but instead in<br />
underwater olfaction, the animals supposedly<br />
breathing with the mouth agape. Reevaluation<br />
of the palatal and internal cranial<br />
anatomy of the Plesiosauria reveals that the<br />
traditional identification of the choanae as a<br />
pair of fenestrae situated rostral to the external<br />
nares appears erroneous. These openings more<br />
likely represent the bony apertures of ducts<br />
that lead to internal salt glands situated inside<br />
the maxillary rostrum. The 'real' functional<br />
choanae (or caudal interpterygoid vacuities),<br />
are situated at the caudal end of the bony palate<br />
between the sub-temporal fossae, as was<br />
suggested in the mid-19th Century. The existence<br />
of a functional secondary palate in the<br />
Plesiosauria is therefore strongly supported,<br />
and the anatomical, physiological, and evolutionary<br />
implications of such a structure are<br />
discussed.<br />

Togay, a locality from Ol’khon Island,<br />
Baykal Lake, Russia, has yielded a fauna of<br />
snakes of Late Middle or early Late Miocene<br />
age. It is located in a broad area from which<br />
no Neogene snake has been reported; therefore,<br />
it represents an important landmark. The<br />
fauna includes a non-erycine boid, two or<br />
three colubrids, a viperid of the ‘oriental complex’<br />
of Vipera, and perhaps another viperid.<br />
This assemblage is astonishingly reminiscent<br />
of the snake faunas from the late Early and<br />
early Middle Miocene from western and central<br />
Europe, it being understood that Miocene<br />
faunas are practically unknown in the geographically<br />
intermediary area. It may be entertained<br />
whether a homogenous snake fauna<br />
inhabited Eurasia (except the southern part of<br />
the continent) during the Miocene.<br />

Hadrosaurs grew rapidly, and quantifying<br />
their growth is key to understanding lifehistory<br />
interactions between predators and<br />
prey during the Late Cretaceous. In this study,<br />
we longitudinally sampled a sequence of lines<br />
of arrested growth (LAGs) from an essentially<br />
full-grown hadrosaur Hypacrosaurus stebingeri<br />
(MOR 549). Spatial locations of LAGs in<br />
the femoral and tibial transverse sections of<br />
MOR 549 were measured and circumferences<br />
were calculated. For each bone, a time series<br />
of circumference data was fitted to several<br />
stochastic, discrete growth models. Our results<br />
suggest that the femur and the tibia of this<br />
specimen of Hypacrosaurus probably followed<br />
a Gompertz curve and that LAGs reportedly<br />
missing from early ontogeny were<br />
obscured by perimedullary resorption. In this<br />
specimen, death occurred at 13 years and took<br />
approximately 10–12 years to reach 95 per<br />
cent asymptotic size. The age at growth inflection,<br />
which is a proxy for reproductive maturity,<br />
occurred at approximately 2–3 years.<br />
Comparisons with several small and large<br />
predatory theropods reveal that MOR 549<br />
grew faster and matured sooner than they did.<br />
These results suggest that Hypacrosaurus was<br />
able to partly avoid predators by outgrowing<br />
them.<br />

Only two ornithomimid genera, Ornithomimus<br />
and Struthiomimus, are currently<br />
known from the Upper Cretaceous of North<br />
America. However, a number of ornithomimid<br />
elements from Alberta's Dinosaur Park Formation<br />
(Upper Campanian), cannot be assigned<br />
to either Ornithomimus or Struthiomimus.<br />
These bones, including a frontal, caudal vertebrae,<br />
and unguals of the manus and the pes,<br />
come from animals significantly larger than<br />
any previously known Judithian ornithomimid.<br />
The frontal exhibits several unusual features,<br />
including transverse expansion over the prefrontals,<br />
and extreme reduction of the supratemporal<br />
fossae. Caudal vertebrae are<br />
105
characterized by neural arches that are posteriorly<br />
shifted and transversely expanded.<br />
Manual unguals possess a highly concave articular<br />
surface, a flexor tubercle divided by a<br />
sulcus, and a broad claw. Pedal unguals display<br />
highly concave articular surfaces, and a<br />
ridge-like flexor tubercle dividing a deep ventral<br />
fossa. Although it is difficult to know<br />
whether these elements represent a single<br />
taxon, this is currently the most parsimonious<br />
hypothesis. This study demonstrates how isolated<br />
dinosaur bones can extend our knowledge<br />
of dinosaur faunas.<br />

Egg clutches of non-avian maniraptoran<br />
theropods (Dinosauria) are rare, particularly in<br />
North America where those of Troodon formosus<br />
are the only maniraptoran clutches<br />
known. Here we describe a new partial<br />
maniraptoran clutch and nesting trace referred<br />
to Montanoolithus strongorum oogen. et oosp.<br />
nov. (Montanoolithidae oofam. nov.), from the<br />
Upper Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation<br />
of Montana. Based on a cladistic analysis of<br />
reproductive traits, we infer that this clutch<br />
belonged either to a caenagnathid or to a dromaeosaurid,<br />
which makes it the first clutch<br />
known of either taxon. This specimen preserves<br />
impressions and eggshell fragments of<br />
at least five eggs on a nest structure. The eggs<br />
are asymmetrical, paired, and lay radially in a<br />
ring configuration on the sloped sides of a bioturbated,<br />
flat-topped sandstone mound. Geology<br />
of the locality indicates the female nested<br />
in a poorly-vegetated area of freshly deposited<br />
sand, possibly near an active river channel.<br />
This clutch reveals that the egg-layer of Montanoolithus<br />
strongorum had a unique suite of<br />
reproductive characteristics and nesting behaviours<br />
among maniraptorans.<br />

A new turtle, Aurorachelys gaffneyi gen. et<br />
sp. nov., is described on the basis of a carapace<br />
and plastron of late Turonian–Coniacian<br />
age from Axel Heiberg Island in the High Canadian<br />
Arctic. This turtle is a member of the<br />
Macrobaenidae, a group that is thought to have<br />
originated in Asia. It differs from all other<br />
Late Cretaceous macrobaenids in its nearly<br />
circular shell. The earliest record of macrobaenids<br />
in North America documented by this<br />
specimen, together with the earliest records of<br />
other turtle clades that presumably originated<br />
in Asia, indicates that turtle dispersal was episodic,<br />
with most first occurrences of Asian<br />
taxa in North America clustering around the<br />
Turonian. The high global temperatures of the<br />
Turonian are interpreted as facilitating this<br />
episode of dispersal of Asian turtle groups into<br />
North America. Islands and seamounts in the<br />
young, volcanically active Arctic Ocean during<br />
the Late Cretaceous may have acted as an<br />
alternative to an Alaskan intercontinental route,<br />
and may have allowed macrobaenids to enter<br />
the part of North America east of the interior<br />
continental seaway<br />

Mycelium-like structures found under<br />

dinosaur eggshells would be the endolithic<br />
fungi coexistent with dinosaur eggs in the upper<br />
part of the Late Cretaceous Hugang Formation<br />
from the Wenjiaping section of<br />
Wenxian, Danjiangkou, northwestern Hubei,<br />
Central China. The endolithic fungi selectively<br />
occurred in the bad biomineral zone<br />
within the columnar layer of the eggshells,<br />
where the crowded endolithic fungi penetrated<br />
the columnar layer at near-vertical or nearhorizontal<br />
angles. The endolithic fungi are<br />
needle-like, ribbon-like and silk-like, and 5–<br />
18 μm long, 0.3–0.5 μm wide at their base,<br />
with pointed tip, and are unbranched. The hyphae<br />
are mainly composed of oxygen, carbon<br />
and calcium, and are with minor sodium, potassium,<br />
chlorine and sulfur. The endolithic<br />
fungi and host have the same characters in<br />
lithification, fracture and main chemical composition.<br />
We suggested that the episode en-<br />
106
dolithic fungi invading dinosaur eggs may<br />
have taken place in the interval between after<br />
formation of dinosaur eggshells and before<br />
their petrification and that dinosaur eggs invaded<br />
by endolithic fungi would not be normally<br />

25-32<br />
The Nyctosaurus specimen K J1 was reconstructed<br />
under the hypothesis that there is a<br />
membrane attached to the crest; the so-called<br />
headsail crest. The aerodynamic forces and<br />
moment acting on the headsail crest were analyzed.<br />
It was shown that K J1 might adjust the<br />
angle of the headsail crest relative to the air<br />
current as one way to generate thrust (one of<br />
the aerodynamic forces, used to overcome<br />
body drag in forward flight) and that the<br />
magnitude of the thrust and moment could<br />
vary with the gesture angle and the relative<br />
location between the aerodynamic center of<br />
the headsail crest and body's center of gravity.<br />
Three scenarios were tested for comparison:<br />
the crest with membrane attachment,<br />
the crest without membrane attachment and<br />
the absence of a cranial crest. It was shown<br />
that the aerodynamic characteristics<br />
( increasing, maintaining and decreasing<br />
thrusts and moment) would have almost disappear<br />
in flight for the crest without membrane<br />
attachment and was non-existent without<br />
the cranial crest. It is suggested from aerodynamics<br />
evidence alone that Nyctosaurus<br />
specimen KJ1 had a membrane attached to the<br />
crest and used this reconstructed form for auxiliary<br />
flight control.<br />

Sineoamphisbaena hexatabularis Wu et al.,<br />
1993 is the earliest known amphisbaenian represented<br />
by well-preserved cranial and postcranial<br />
material. It reveals a mosaic of generalized<br />
lizard-like features and amphisbaenian<br />
characters. Most distinctive of the latter are<br />
features of cranial consolidation adaptive for a<br />
fossorial way of life. Phylogenetic analyses<br />
strongly confirm the monophyly of the Amphisbaenia<br />
inclusive of S. hexatabularis. The<br />
Amphisbaenia is diagnosed by a suite of apomorphic<br />
characters. The available evidence<br />
suggests a probable Amphisbaenia–<br />
Macrocephalosauridae relationship within the<br />
Scincomorpha. This is supported primarily by<br />
the unique modifications of the palate and<br />
temporal region of the skull. It is argued here<br />
that the Amphisbaenia evolved in Central Asia<br />
during the Cretaceous, in response to the transition<br />
from a perennial lacustrine environment<br />
to a dry, semiarid eolian environment. The<br />
relatively primitive morphology indicates that<br />
S. hexatabularis was not permanently subterranean.<br />
The further derived modifications of<br />
later forms are associated with tunneling in an<br />
environment of more compact soils.<br />

The largest extant snakes live in the tropics<br />
of South America and southeast Asia where<br />
high temperatures facilitate the evolution of<br />
large body sizes among air-breathing animals<br />
whose body temperatures are dependant on<br />
ambient environmental temperatures<br />
(poikilothermy). Very little is known about<br />
ancient tropical terrestrial ecosystems, limiting<br />
our understanding of the evolution of giant<br />
snakes and their relationship to climate in the<br />
past. Here we describe a boid snake from the<br />
oldest known neotropical rainforest fauna<br />
from the Cerrejón Formation (58–60 Myr ago)<br />
in northeastern Colombia. We estimate a body<br />
length of 13 m and a mass of 1,135 kg, making<br />
it the largest known snake. The maximum<br />
size of poikilothermic animals at a given tem-<br />
107
perature is limited by metabolic rate, and a<br />
snake of this size would require a minimum<br />
mean annual temperature of 30–34 °C to survive.<br />
This estimate is consistent with hypotheses<br />
of hot Palaeocene neotropics with high<br />
concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 based on<br />
climate models. Comparison of palaeotemperature<br />
estimates from the equator to those<br />
from South American mid-latitudes indicates a<br />
relatively steep temperature gradient during<br />
the early Palaeogene greenhouse, similar to<br />
that of today. Depositional environments and<br />
faunal composition of the Cerrejón Formation<br />
indicate an anaconda-like ecology for the giant<br />
snake, and an earliest Cenozoic origin of<br />
neotropical vertebrate faunas.<br />

Ornithischia is one of the two major groups<br />
of dinosaurs, with heterodontosauridae as one<br />
of its major clades. Heterodontosauridae is<br />
characterized by small, gracile bodies and a<br />
problematic phylogenetic position. Recent<br />
phylogenetic work indicates that it represents<br />
the most basal group of all well-known ornithischians<br />
3 . Previous heterodontosaurid records<br />
are mainly from the Early Jurassic period<br />
(205–190 million years ago) of Africa.<br />
Here we report a new heterodontosaurid,<br />
Tianyulong confuciusi gen. et sp. nov., from<br />
the Early Cretaceous period (144–99 million<br />
years ago) of western Liaoning Province,<br />
China. Tianyulong extends the geographical<br />
distribution of heterodontosaurids to Asia and<br />
confirms the clade's previously questionable<br />
temporal range extension into the Early Cretaceous<br />
period. More surprisingly, Tianyulong<br />
bears long, singular and unbranched filamentous<br />
integumentary (outer skin) structures.<br />
This represents the first confirmed report, to<br />
our knowledge, of filamentous integumentary<br />
structures in an ornithischian dinosaur<br />

A reptile specimen from the Lystrosaurus<br />

lineages originating in the Permian Period<br />
extended into the succeeding Triassic Period.<br />
This relatively high taxic survivorship (67%)<br />

Gastroliths (stomach stones) are known<br />

tetrapod extinctions across the Permo-Triassic<br />

A review of the tetrapod (amphibian and<br />
amniote) record across the Permo-Triassic<br />
boundary (PTB) indicates a global evolutionary<br />
turnover of tetrapods close to the PTB.<br />
There is also a within-Guadalupian tetrapod<br />
extinction here called the dinocephalian extinction<br />
event, probably of global extent. The<br />
dinocephalian extinction event is a late Wordian<br />
or early Capitanian extinction based on<br />
biostratigraphic data and magnetostratigraphy<br />
(the extinction precedes the Illawara reversal),<br />
109
so it is not synchronous with the end-<br />
Guadalupian marine extinction. The Russian<br />
PTB section documents two tetrapod extinction<br />
events, one just before the dinocephalian<br />
extinction event and the other at the base of<br />
the Lystrosaurus assemblage. However, generic<br />
diversity across the latter extinction remains<br />
essentially the same despite a total evolutionary<br />
turnover of tetrapod genera. The<br />
Chinese and South African sections document<br />
the stratigraphic overlap of Dicynodon and<br />
Lystrosaurus. In the Karoo basin, the lowest<br />
occurrence of Lystrosaurus is in a stratigraphic<br />
interval of reversed magnetic polarity,<br />
which indicates it predates the marine-defined<br />
PTB, so, as previously suggested by some<br />
workers, the lowest occurrence of Lystrosaurus<br />
cannot be used to identify the PTB in<br />
nonmarine strata. Correlation of the marine<br />
PTB section at Meishan, southern China, to<br />
the Karoo basin based primarily on magnetostratigraphy<br />
indicates that the main marine<br />
extinction preceded the PTB tetrapod extinction<br />
event. The ecological severity of the PTB<br />
tetrapod extinction event has generally been<br />
overstated, and the major change in tetrapod<br />
assemblages that took place across the PTB<br />
was the prolonged and complex "replacement"<br />
of therapsids by archosaurs that began before<br />
the end of the Permian and was not complete<br />
until well into the Triassic. The tetrapod extinctions<br />
are not synchronous with the major<br />
marine extinctions at the end of the Guadalupian<br />
and just before the end of the Permian, so<br />
the idea of catastrophic causes of synchronous<br />
PTB extinctions on land and sea should be<br />
reconsidered<br />

Sauropod tracks make up only about 2% of<br />
the Cameros Basin ichnocenosis, but they are<br />
present over the entire time span represented<br />
by the Cameros sediments. The makers of<br />
these tracks are identified in terms of their<br />
associated trackway pattern as either wide or<br />
narrow-gauge morphotypes. Narrow-gauge<br />
trackways dominate the Tithonian-Berriasian<br />
interval. Wide-gauge trackways become notably<br />
more common after the Berriasian, although<br />
narrow-gauge trackways are still present<br />
and dominate the Cameros ecosystems<br />
even during the Aptian. At this time, an interesting<br />
equilibrium between titanosauriform<br />
and non-titanosauriform sauropod trackways<br />
is evident, although the latter are somewhat<br />
more common. A review of the Iberian sauropod<br />
bone record suggests that Turiasauria +<br />
Euhelopidae, Rebbachisauridae and Titanosauriformes<br />
are the three groups mainly responsible<br />
for the Cameros Basin sauropod<br />
ichnocenosis.<br />

Here we report a tooth of a large archosauriform<br />
from the Upper Triassic of New<br />
Mexico, USA that displays developmental<br />
anomalies of carina formation. This tooth has<br />
two supernumerary carinae, both on the lingual<br />
side of the tooth. Previously, carina<br />
anomalies of this sort were primarily known<br />
from theropod dinosaurs, but always from the<br />
labial surface. Integrating this specimen into a<br />
reassessment of the published accounts of carina<br />
anomalies in other fossil diapsids reveals<br />
that supernumerary carinae are more widespread<br />
throughout Archosauriformes than previously<br />
reported. Our interpretation of this<br />
developmental anomaly highlights the present<br />
lack of understanding of tooth development in<br />
archosaurs, particularly carina formation, and<br />
suggests that crown morphology development<br />
in archosauriforms may be constrained differently<br />
than it is in mammals. This developmental<br />
constraint may explain the differences observed<br />
between the complexity found in<br />
mammal and archosauriform cusp morphology.<br />

关 于 飞 龙 类 翼 延 伸 的 新 模 式 = New models<br />
for the wing extension in pterosaurs. ( 英 文 ).<br />
Prondvai Edina; Hone D W E. Historical Biology,<br />
2008, 20(4): 237-254<br />
All powered flying animals have to face the<br />
same energetic problems: operating the wings<br />
during steady flight with muscles that require<br />
constant energy input and neural control to<br />
work. Accordingly the extant flying vertebrates<br />
have apparently found very similar so-<br />
110
lutions to parts of these issues - the biomechanical<br />
automatism built in their skeletal,<br />
muscular and connective tissue system. Based<br />
on these extant analogues (birds and bats) two<br />
new models are presented here for the mechanism<br />
of the distal wing extension in pterosaurs,<br />
an extinct group of flying vertebrates. The<br />
elongate fourth finger which solely supported<br />
their extensive flight membrane was a long<br />
lever arm that experienced significant loads<br />
and for which a reduction in muscle mass<br />
through automatisation would have been<br />
strongly beneficial. In the first model we hypothesize<br />
the presence of a propatagial ligament<br />
or ligamentous system which, as a result<br />
of the elbow extension, automatically performs<br />
and maintains the extension of the wing<br />
finger during flight and prohibits the hyperextension<br />
of the elbow. The second model has a<br />
co-operating bird-like propatagial ligamentous<br />
system and bat-like tendinous extensor muscle<br />
system on the forearm of the hypothetical<br />
pterosaur. Both models provide strong benefits<br />
to an animal with powered flight: (1) reduction<br />
of muscles and weight in the distal<br />
wing; (2) prevention of hyper extension of the<br />
elbow against drag; (3) automating wing extension<br />
and thereby reducing metabolic costs<br />
required to operate the pterosaurian locomotor<br />
apparatus. These models, although hypothetical,<br />
fit with the existing fossil evidence and<br />
lay down a basis for further biomechanical<br />
and/or aerodynamical investigations.<br />

In this essay the first taxonomically<br />

this unit are reported. They comprise anterior<br />
caudal vertebrae from two different individuals<br />
corresponding to a probably basal titanosaur<br />
(CPP-360) and a derived titanosaur (CPP-<br />

distinguished from other titanosaurs on the<br />
basis of their unique association of characteristics<br />
like the presence of mildly procoelous<br />
centra, lateral pits in the anterior caudal vertebrae,<br />
and prezygapophyses with a dorsal protuberance<br />
in anterior caudals in CPP-360 and<br />
the presence of strongly developed prespinal,<br />

the skull and most of the mandible. Distinctive<br />
characters (e.g. antorbital fenestra; robust<br />

from S. huenei. Several characters allow<br />
assignment to the genus Sphagesaurus (e.g.<br />
teardrop-like oblique molariform teeth), while<br />
new information is provided (e.g. premaxilla,<br />
pterygoid and mandible morphology; jugal<br />

teeth). A revision of the Family<br />
Sphagesauridae Kuhn 1968 is given. A preliminary<br />
phylogenetic analysis supports a sister-taxon<br />

A new species of the littoral cheloniid turtle<br />
Euclastes, E. acutirostris, is proposed, on the<br />
basis of a skull from the Palaeocene Phosphates<br />
of Morocco, the first turtle record from<br />
the Sidi Chennane area. It is estimated to be<br />
Danian-Thanetian in age, possibly younger<br />
than the previous Danian Moroccan specimens<br />
of Euclastes. It differs from the other species<br />
of Euclastes mainly by a more elongated and<br />
narrower snout, forming a small hook, the<br />
presence of a long and narrow spur-shaped<br />
postero-inferior process of the jugal, better<br />
delimiting the lateral skull emargination and<br />
the medially shorter palate, in relation to<br />
American Palaeogene specimens. This study<br />
indicates the necessity for a world-wide revision<br />
of the “Euclastes group” in order to redefine<br />
the taxa. It shows the potential interest of<br />
the group in the radiation and dispersion of the<br />
faunas of the Tethysian and Atlantic margins<br />
during the Cretaceous -Tertiary turnover.<br />

Dinosaur behaviour has little legacy in the<br />
fossil record and the rarity of fossil soft tissues<br />
makes it difficult to evaluate. Indirect evidence<br />
from bonebeds, trackways, nesting<br />
traces and in-group comparisons with extant<br />
Archosauria suggests that the only substantive<br />
arguments to be made for dinosaur sociality<br />
concern cranial ornamentation and herding<br />
behaviour. There is currently no reliable<br />
method to determine gender from skeletal remains.<br />
Dinosaur reproductive anatomy was a<br />
unique combination of crocodilian and avian<br />
characters and extant models indicate that dinosaurs<br />
copulated using a reptilian 'leg over<br />
back' posture. Reliable evidence for posthatching<br />
care in dinosaurs is lacking and extant<br />
archosaurs yield little insight. A hypothesis<br />
is proposed that for the majority of dinosaurs<br />
there was no post-hatching care provided<br />
which would have allowed adults energy<br />
acquisition that would otherwise have<br />
been required for defence and provisioning to<br />
be redirected towards growth and increased<br />
fecundity, both traits for which there is fossil<br />
evidence. Arguments suggesting that the more<br />
advanced aspects of extant avian care boasting<br />
an explicit coelurosaurian theropod origin are<br />
rejected as these behaviours appear unique to<br />
the Neornithes. Three ancestral care hypotheses<br />
are tested and none conform in a satisfactory<br />
manner with body fossil and ichnological<br />
evidence.<br />

Twelve trackways of ornithopods from<br />
Lower Cretaceous lacustrine margin deposits<br />
of the Jindong Formation represent new dinosaur<br />
track-ways described from Korea. The<br />
site, discovered during highway construction,<br />
was rescued by removing the most important<br />
track-ways to the Korean Natural Heritage<br />
Center in Daejeon, where they are on permanent<br />
display. The new ichnotaxon Ornithopodichnus<br />
masanensis ichnogen. et ichnosp. nov.<br />
is recognized as a distinctive robust tridactyl<br />
track, slightly wider than long (l/w ratio =<br />
0.91), with positive (inward) rotation. The toe<br />
prints are very thick, broad and U-shaped, resulting<br />
in a trefoil outline with a smoothly<br />
rounded hind margin. Digit III is short and<br />
projects anteriorly much less than digit II and<br />
IV (= weak mesaxony). Divarication of digits<br />
II-IV is about 70 degrees with interdigital angle<br />
II-III larger than III-IV. Track-way width<br />
is narrow and the stride length/track length<br />
ratio is about 4.2-4.6. The Ornithopodichnus<br />
track-ways evidently represent gregarious<br />
blunt-toed Iguanodon-like bipedal ornithopods,<br />
although poorly preserved manus traces are<br />
discerned in a few trackways. Ornithopodichnus<br />
is distinct from other well known iguanodontid<br />
tracks that display much stronger<br />
mesaxony and indicates a polarity in ornithopod<br />
foot morphology that can be verified by<br />
reference to known foot skeletons.<br />

A new crocodyliform specimen is presented<br />
here found in the Cerro Castaño Member of<br />
the Cerro Barcino Formation (Chubut Group).<br />
The material consists of cranial and postcranial<br />
remains that represent a new taxon that<br />
has strong affinities with Peirosauridae, but<br />
also shares derived features present in<br />
Araripesuchus. The phylogenetic relationships<br />
of this new taxon were tested through a cladistic<br />
analysis depicting it as a member of the<br />
Peirosauridae. The inclusion of Barcinosuchus<br />
within this clade of basal mesoeucrocodylians<br />
is supported by the presence of hypapophyses<br />
up to the third or fourth dorsal vertebrae, anterolateral<br />
facing edge on postorbital, quadrate<br />
dorsal surface divided in two planes by a ridge;<br />
mandibular symphysis tapering anterirorly in<br />
ventral view, lateral surface of dentary convex<br />
anterior to mandibular fenestra, distal body of<br />
quadrate well developed, anteroposteriorly<br />
thin and lateromedially broad. The new<br />
specimen broadens the temporal and geographical<br />
distribution of Peirosauridae during<br />
the Cretaceous of Gondwana, representing the<br />
southern-most and the most ancient record of<br />
the group in Patagonia. The new material also<br />
provides insights on the postcranial anatomy<br />
of peirosaurids, a group that has been so far<br />
studied almost exclusively from cranial material.<br />

New age related individual variation for<br />
Hypsilophodon foxii, a basal euornithopod<br />
with no confirmed record outside of the Isle of<br />
Wight (late Barremian), includes an extensor<br />
groove on the distal femur that is absent and<br />
then shallow. The sequence of fusion of the<br />
neurocentral sutures follows the archosaurian<br />
caudal forwards pattern but fusion in the sacrum<br />
occurs in different sized individuals. Detailed<br />
figures are given of the form and wear<br />
patterns of the teeth. The “Iguanodon/Hypsilophodon/Polacanthus“<br />
distal femur<br />
from Hastings (mid-Valanginian) is probably<br />
Euornithopoda indet. Large distal femora from<br />
the Isle of Wight (late Barremian) and Bedfordshire<br />
(Aptian), with an extensor groove of<br />
medium depth, are basal Iguanodontia indet.<br />
“Hypsilophodon” wielandi Galton & Jensen,<br />
1978 (Barremian, Western USA) is basal<br />
Euornithopoda indet, not a dryosaurid ; it is<br />
not a junior synonym of probable dryosaurid<br />
“Camptosaurus” valdensis lydekker, 1889a<br />
(late Barremian, Isle of Wight), and both taxa<br />
are nomina dubia. the record of the dryosaurid<br />
Valdosaurus, a femur of which was first described<br />
by owen (1842) as Iguanodon, is restricted<br />
to England (Sussex, middle Valanginian<br />
; Isle of Wight, late Barremian). Based on<br />
differences in horizon and form of the femur,<br />
Elrhazosaurus n. gen. is erected for the dryosaurid<br />
Valdosaurus nigeriensis Galton & taquet,<br />
1982 (Aptian, Niger). The holotype dentary<br />
of Iguanodon hoggii owen, 1874 from<br />
Dorset (middle Berriasian) is made the type<br />
species of the new non-camptosaurid genus<br />
Owenodon ; a femur referred to “Camptosaurus”<br />
hoggii from Dorset is Iguanodontoidea<br />
indet. A small dentary from the Isle of Wight<br />
(late Barremian) is not Valdosaurus but basal<br />
Iguanodontoidea indet. An incomplete<br />
hindlimb (with tibia showing a very large callus<br />
from a healed fracture) of“Camptosaurus”<br />
hoggii from Yorkshire (mid-Berriasian) is<br />
very similar to that of “Iguanodon” hollingtoniensis<br />
lydekker, 1889b, the femur of which<br />
is Camptosaurus-like except for the Iguanodon-like<br />
distal end. This species represents a<br />
new genus of basal Iguanodontoidea, but its<br />
diagnosis must await a review of all Sussex<br />
Wadhurst Clay (middle Valanginian) material.<br />
Dentary teeth of Owenodon sp. occur in the<br />
bauxite fissure fill (Berriasian-Valanginian) of<br />
Cornet, Romania. The bones more derived<br />
than those of Camptosaurus but not Styracosterna<br />
or Iguanodontea (which is represented<br />
by metacarpal II, ungual phalanges) are tentatively<br />
referred to Owenodon sp. These include<br />
a maxilla and teeth, cervical vertebra 6, fused<br />
medial carpals+metacarpal I, distal femora<br />
(and, tentatively, a frontal, a braincase, a<br />
dorso-sacral centrum, larger humerus). A<br />
smaller humerus is basal Euornithopoda indet,<br />
but most of the described bones are Euornithopoda<br />
indet. The possible stegosaurian pubis<br />
from the Isle of Wight (late Barremian) is<br />
basal Iguanodontoidea indet.<br />

Based on examination of eggshell structure<br />
and predicted vapor conductances in eggshells<br />
in recently described material from Argentina<br />
and China we conclude that pterosaurs buried<br />
their eggs. Egg-burying imposes theoretical<br />
restrictions on the distribution of pterosaurs,<br />
both geographically and spatially, raises the<br />
possibility of thermal sex determination and<br />
supports previous suggestions that they exhibited<br />
nesting fidelity. Some features associated<br />
with egg-burying, such as weight savings, are<br />
likely to have been fortuitous pre-adaptations<br />
for these flying reptiles, but others may have<br />
disadvantaged them relative to avian competitors<br />
or increased their vulnerability to extinction<br />
in a cooling climate.<br />

A nearly complete skeleton of a juvenile<br />
sauropod from the Lower Morrison Formation<br />
(Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian) of the Howe<br />
Ranch in Bighorn County, Wyoming is described.<br />
The specimen consists of articulated<br />
mid-cervical to mid-caudal vertebrae and most<br />
appendicular bones, but cranial and mandibular<br />
elements are missing. The shoulder height<br />
is approximately 67 cm, and the total body<br />
length is estimated to be less than 200 cm.<br />
Besides the body size, the following morphological<br />
features indicate that this specimen is<br />
an early juvenile; (1) unfused centra and neural<br />
arches in presacral, sacral and first to ninth<br />
caudal vertebrae, (2) unfused coracoid and<br />
scapula, (3) open coracoid foramen, and (4)<br />
relatively smooth articular surfaces on the<br />
limb, wrist, and ankle bones. A large scapula,<br />
short neck and tail and elongate forelimb<br />
bones relative to overall body size demonstrate<br />
relative growth. A thin-section of the<br />
mid-shaft of a femur shows a lack of annual<br />
growth lines, indicating an early juvenile individual<br />
possibly younger than a few years old.<br />
Pneumatic structures in the vertebral column<br />
of the specimen SMA 0009 show that pneumatisation<br />
of the postcranial skeleton had already<br />
started in this individual, giving new<br />
insights in the early ontogenetic development<br />
of vertebral pneumaticity in sauropods. The<br />
specimen exhibits a number of diplodocid features<br />
(e.g., very elongate slender scapular<br />
blade with a gradually dorsoventrally expanded<br />
distal end, a total of nine dorsal vertebrae,<br />
presence of the posterior centroparapophyseal<br />
lamina in the posterior dorsal<br />
vertebrae). Although a few diplodocid taxa,<br />
Diplodocus, cf. Apatosaurus, and cf. Barosaurus,<br />
are known from several fossil sites near<br />
the Howe Ranch, identification of this specimen,<br />
even at a generic level, is difficult due to<br />
a large degree of ontogenetic variation.<br />

Sacral centra are occasionally fused with or<br />
without severe deformation in Champsosaurus<br />
(Diapsida, Choristodera). The sympatrical occurrence<br />
of fusion and non-fusion of sacra in<br />
adults through their evolution questions that<br />
sacral fusion represents the final form of a<br />
simple ontogenetic change or specific variation.<br />
Females are proposed to possess more<br />
robust limb bones than males because they are<br />
considered to have been more terrestrial due to<br />
the nesting behaviour on land. The coincidental<br />
occurrence of fusion of sacral centra without<br />
severe deformation and more robust limb<br />
bones in same individuals suggests that sacral<br />
fusion is a phenomenon occurring in females<br />
as a result of terrestrial adaptation for reproductive<br />
activities. Sacral fusion associated<br />
with severe deformation is considered a pathological<br />
condition although its etiology and<br />
factors remain undefined.<br />

J; Langer M C. Historical Biology, 2007,<br />
19(1): 23-33<br />
The South American Late Triassic offers<br />
the most comprehensive window to the early<br />
radiation of dinosaurs. This is enhanced by the<br />
discovery of Sacisaurus agudoensis, a new<br />
dinosauriform from the Caturrita Formation of<br />
Brazil. Various morphological features sug-<br />
114
gest its close phylogenetic affinity to Silesaurus,<br />
and both may be basal ornithischian dinosaurs.<br />
Sacisaurus has a pair of elements forming<br />
the tip of its lower jaw, hypothesized to be<br />
equivalent to the ornithischian predentary.<br />
This suggests that during an initial stage of<br />
their evolution, those dinosaurs had a paired<br />
predentary, which later fused into a single<br />
structure. As an originally paired bone, the<br />
predentary is comparable to elements that<br />
more often form the vertebrate mandible, such<br />
as the mentomeckelian bone. Although synapomorphic<br />
for ornithischians, the predentary<br />
does not seem neomorphic for the group, but<br />
primarily homologous to parts of the symphyseal<br />
region of the lower jaw of other vertebrates.<br />

The comparison of the anatomy of a second<br />
incomplete skeleton of Guaibasaurus candelariensis<br />
to that of basal Saurischia suggests<br />
that the origin of the “Prosauropoda” was<br />
from unknown basal saurischians, after separating<br />
from theropods (except herrerasaurids).<br />
Guaibasaurus and Saturnalia are part of this<br />
early dichotomy, and they bear mixed characters-states<br />
of basal theropods and “prosauropods”<br />
type. The Late Triassic age of both<br />
Guaibasaurus and Saturnalia (the latter is<br />
older) predates the 'dominance' of basal sauropodomorphs<br />
as well as the appearance of the<br />
basal theropod Zupaysaurus, both recorded<br />
from the upper Los Colorados Formation of<br />
Argentina.<br />

them. These conclusions are supported by a<br />
comprehensive cladistic analysis of 46 sauropodomorph<br />

also supports the paraphyletic nature of the<br />

Surprising new anatomical information has<br />

Eoraptor has a mid mandibular jaw joint, and<br />
Herrerasaurus has a promaxillary fenestra at<br />
the anterior end of the antorbital fossa. Initial<br />
cladistic interpretation placed Herrerasaurus<br />
outside Dinosauria. Since then, Eoraptor and<br />
Herrerasaurus have been placed at the base of<br />
Saurischia or within Theropoda in two largescale<br />
quantitative analyses. A comparative<br />
approach is taken here to show, first, that<br />
character choice is a major factor behind differing<br />
results; only half of the character data<br />
critical for each interpretation is incorporated<br />
into the opposing analysis. In that shared portion<br />
of data, furthermore, nearly 40 percent of<br />
character state scores vary for identical, or<br />
comparable, ingroup taxa. Resolving these<br />
conflictive interpretations is clearly where future<br />
progress will be made in understanding<br />

The results of Barnum Brown's 1937 expedition<br />
to the Almond Formation of Wyoming<br />
consisted of two unidentified ceratopsian<br />
skulls and a partial hadrosaurid specimen<br />
(AMNH 3651). The hadrosaurid is here attributed<br />

verifying previous biostratigraphic correlations<br />
of this formation using ammonite zones.<br />
115
Fossiliferous lower Maastrichtian formations<br />
occurring latitudinally between those of Alberta,<br />
Canada, and southwestern Texas, USA,<br />
such as the Almond Formation, are essential<br />
for testing the effects and duration of apparent<br />
hadrosaurid faunal segregation earlier in the<br />
Campanian, and indirectly aiding in the<br />
placement of faunal boundaries that are currently<br />
unknown for the late Campanian. The<br />
discovery of Saurolophus in Wyoming, a<br />
close relative of the Campanian genus Prosaurolophus,<br />
affirms that the segregation of<br />
hadrosaurid faunas established in the late<br />
Campanian (75 Ma) continued for at least 3<br />
million years. Combining occurrences of<br />
Saurolophus from Mongolia and the Moreno<br />
Formation of California with those of Alberta,<br />
Canada, this genus appears to have had one of<br />
the largest geographic ranges of any equivalent<br />
clade of hadrosaurid dinosaur, although<br />
species level distributions are still uncertain.<br />

Three enigmatic structures in an outcrop of<br />
the Otway Group (Albian) of Victoria, Australia,<br />
compose the first known evidence suggestive<br />
of dinosaur burrows outside of North<br />
America and the oldest from the fossil record.<br />
The most complete of the Otway structures<br />
nearly matches the size and morphology of a<br />
burrow attributed to the only known burrowing<br />
dinosaur, Oryctodromeus cubicularis from<br />
the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Montana<br />
(USA). The suspected burrows cross-cut<br />
alluvial facies and overlie nearby strata containing<br />
dinosaur tracks. The structures contain<br />
identical sand fills in their upper portions, implying<br />
a near-synchronous origin and filling;<br />
graded bedding in the most complete structure<br />
also indicates passive filling of an originally<br />
open structure. This probable burrow is a<br />
2.1 m long, gently descending, semi-helical<br />
tunnel, with a near-constant diameter (about<br />
30 cm) that connects with an enlarged terminal<br />
chamber. The structures are unlikely to<br />
have been caused by physical or chemical<br />
sedimentary processes, and hence are considered<br />
as biogenic structures; moreover, their<br />
size and morphology imply tetrapod tracemakers.<br />
Burrow allometry indicates tracemakers<br />
with a mass of 10–20 kg, matching size<br />
estimates for small ornithopods from the Otway<br />
Group. Burrowing behavior in hypsilophodontid-grade<br />
dinosaurs, which compose<br />
most of the dinosaurian assemblage in the<br />
Lower Cretaceous of Victoria, was proposed<br />
previously as an adaptation for surviving formerly<br />
polar conditions in southeastern Australia.<br />
This paradigm is explored in detail, particularly<br />
through actualistic examples of<br />
tetrapod burrowing in cold climates. These<br />
structures may provide the first clues of ornithopod<br />
burrowing in these extreme environments,<br />
while also establishing search images<br />
for similar structures in other Lower Cretaceous<br />
outcrops in Victoria.<br />

Group, Shandong Province, China.<br />
This study provided conclusive evidence of<br />
the presence of the Lambeosaurinae in Europe.<br />
Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus and Pararhabdodon<br />
isonensis were inferred to form a clade of<br />
basal lambeosaurines characterized by a maxilla<br />
with an elevated articular facet for the jugal<br />
(continuous with the ectopterygoid ridge)<br />
and an extremely medially projected symphyseal<br />
region of the dentary. This clade originated<br />
in Asia during the middle or late Campanian.<br />
Pararhabdodon isonensis or its ancestors<br />
migrated from Asia to the Iberian island<br />
of the European archipelago. Reconstruction<br />
of ancestral areas by Fitch parsimony attributes<br />
the European occurrence of P. isonensis<br />
to a single dispersal event from Asia no later<br />
than middle to late Campanian.<br />

The six peculiar multicusped teeth described<br />
here were collected from sediments of<br />
the Upper Cretaceous of São José do Rio<br />
Preto Formation, near Ibirá (northeastern São<br />
Paulo, Brazil). Their bulbous crowns are<br />
slightly labio-lingual compressed, and bear a<br />
main plus two accessory cusps, which conceal<br />
a well developed cingulum. Wear facets are<br />
seen on the main and distal accessory cusps.<br />
Comparison to the known Crocodyliformes<br />
with multicusped teeth show that the new material<br />
is not referable to “protosuchians” or<br />
eusuchians, nor related to two unnamed forms<br />
from Morocco and “notosuchians” such as<br />
Uruguaysuchus, Chiamaerasuchus, and Simosuchus.<br />
On the other hand, possible affinities<br />
with Candidodon and Malawisuchus were<br />
maintained based on shared traits. This includes<br />
teeth with the main cusp and some accessory<br />
cusps arranged in more than one axis,<br />
a previously defined unambiguous apomorphy<br />
of the putative clade composed of Candidodon<br />
plus Malawisuchus. The term Candidodontidae<br />
can be applied to this group, and defined<br />
as all taxa closer to Candidodon itapecuruensis<br />
than to Notosuchus terrestris, Uruguaysuchus<br />
aznarezi, Comahuesuchus brachybuccalis,<br />
Sphagesaurus huenei, Baurusuchus<br />

A new species of the sail-crested pterosaur<br />
Tupuxuara is described from the Santana<br />
Formation of Brazil, Tupuxuara deliradamus<br />
sp. nov. The holotype, a partial skull, and a<br />
larger, partial skull referred to the same taxon<br />
differs from Tupuxuara leonardii by having a<br />
nasoantorbital fenestra with an acutely-angled<br />
posterior border with a long, straight posterodorsal<br />
margin, a reclined cranium, and an orbit<br />
situated entirely in the ventral half of the nasoantorbitral<br />
fenestra. Unfortunately, neither<br />
specimen is comparable with the fragmentary<br />
rostrum representing Tupuxuara longicristatus.<br />
In addition, resolution of a recent nomenclatural<br />
problem over the correct name for the<br />
clade containing Tupuxuara and its sister<br />
taxon, Thalassodromeus, is provided. Both<br />
genera are used by different authors as the<br />
nomenclatural basis for the group, but “Tupuxuaridae”<br />
has never been explicitly erected<br />
as a new taxon, and therefore fails to meet<br />
ICZN criteria that new taxa are only valid if<br />
authors clearly indicate their intention to establish<br />
new names. By contrast, “Thalassodrominae”<br />
was explicitly erected as a name<br />
for the Thalassodromeus + Tupuxuara clade,<br />
thereby fulfilling all ICZN requirements for<br />
naming of a new taxon and making Thalassodromeus<br />
stand as the type genus for this<br />
group.<br />

We report on a turtle from the Mina Esquirol<br />
site (Vallcebre basin), a new locality of<br />
early Maastrichtian age in the south-eastern<br />
Pyrenees. Fossils were located in the basal<br />
Tremp Formation, which was deposited in a<br />
littoral marsh. The material consists of a cast<br />
of a carapace including peripheral fragments<br />
and partial neural plates. The carapace exhib-<br />

its a vermiculate ornamentation that is characteristic<br />
of genus Solemys and a histological<br />
bone structure similar to that of terrestrial taxa.<br />
However, taphonomic data indicates little<br />
transport and a short biostratinomic history,<br />
whereas palaeontological and sedimentological<br />
context indicates that the specimen was<br />
preserved in a shallow brackish water environment.<br />
Based on this taphonomic and sedimentological<br />
evidence, we suggest that at least<br />
some species of genus Solemys had a lifestyle<br />
similar to extant fresh or brackish water turtles<br />
(terrapins) and that the histological evidence<br />
alone for a terrestrial lifestyle is misleading.<br />

Dinosaur remains from Upper Cretaceous<br />
outcrops of northern Gondwana are extremely<br />
rare, in contrast with the much richer sample<br />
of coeval beds from southern Gondwana. Dinosaur<br />
remains from the uppermost Cretaceous<br />
Ortega locality of the Upper Magdalena<br />
Basin (Maastrichtian) of the Department of<br />
Tolima, Colombia, provides new information<br />
on northern Gondwanan faunas of this time. A<br />
revision of dinosaur material from this outcrop,<br />
consisting of three theropod shed teeth, reveals<br />
the presence of two morphotypes. One<br />
of them is referred to Abelisauridae based on<br />
the presence of crowns with mesial margin<br />
with a strong curvature beginning at about the<br />
second-third of the crown height and straight<br />
to slightly concave distal margin. The second<br />
morphotype exhibits un-serrated mesial and<br />
distal margins without carinae and no constriction<br />
at the base of the crown, a combination<br />
of features only observed in unenlagiine<br />
dromaeosaurids within Theropoda. Members<br />
of these clades are also present in coeval beds<br />
of southern and central South America, Madagascar,<br />
northern Africa, and India, indicating a<br />
cosmopolitan distribution in western and central<br />
Gondwana during the Late Cretaceous.<br />
Regarding South America, abelisaurid and<br />
probably dromaeosaurid theropods are recorded<br />
across a large latitudinal area, from the<br />
Palaeo-Equator to considerably high palaeolatitudes<br />
in Patagonia, and probably spanning<br />
quite different environmental conditions.<br />

The Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone,<br />
exposed near the town of Escalante, southern<br />
Utah, consists of large-scale cross-bedded<br />
eolian deposits that are interbedded with horizontally<br />
laminated sand sheets and thin sets of<br />
eolian cross-strata, representing periods with a<br />
moister climate. The flat-bedded units contain<br />
numerous tracks and trackways from small to<br />
large-sized theropod dinosaurs. These tracks<br />
are today exposed in several distinct erosional<br />
states, allowing detailed studies of track and<br />
undertrack formation in eolian deposits.<br />
Tracks that originally were emplaced on sloping<br />
surfaces show, in their present-day erosional<br />
state, a morphology distinct from those<br />
originally emplaced on horizontal surfaces.<br />
Further, the range of eroded track morphologies<br />
can help identify badly eroded tracks<br />

elements (humerus, ulnae, radius) that indicate<br />
unusual limb proportions for Hungarosaurus<br />

Crown group Archosauria, which includes<br />
birds, dinosaurs, crocodylomorphs, and several<br />
extinct Mesozoic groups, is a primary division<br />
of the vertebrate tree of life. However,<br />
the higher-level phylogenetic relationships<br />
within Archosauria are poorly resolved and<br />
controversial, despite years of study. The phylogeny<br />
of crocodile-line archosaurs (Crurotarsi)<br />
is particularly contentious, and has been<br />
plagued by problematic taxon and character<br />
sampling. Recent discoveries and renewed<br />
focus on archosaur anatomy enable the compilation<br />
of a new dataset, which assimilates and<br />
standardizes character data pertinent to higherlevel<br />
archosaur phylogeny, and is scored<br />
across the largest group of taxa yet analysed.<br />
This dataset includes 47 new characters (25%<br />
of total) and eight taxa that have yet to be included<br />
in an analysis, and total taxonomic<br />
sampling is more than twice that of any previous<br />
study. This analysis produces a wellresolved<br />
phylogeny, which recovers mostly<br />
traditional relationships within Avemetatarsalia,<br />
places Phytosauria as a basal crurotarsan<br />
clade, finds a close relationship between Aetosauria<br />
and Crocodylomorpha, and recovers a<br />
monophyletic Rauisuchia comprised of two<br />
major subclades. Support values are low, suggesting<br />
rampant homoplasy and missing data<br />
within Archosauria, but the phylogeny is<br />
highly congruent with stratigraphy. Compari-<br />
119
son with alternative analyses identifies numerous<br />
scoring differences, but indicates that<br />
character sampling is the main source of incongruence.<br />
The phylogeny implies major<br />
missing lineages in the Early Triassic and may<br />
support a Carnian-Norian extinction event.<br />

Aardonyx celestae gen. et sp. nov. is described<br />
from the upper Elliot Formation (Early<br />
Jurassic) of South Africa. It can be diagnosed<br />
by autapomorphies of the skull, particularly<br />
the jaws, cervical column, forearm and pes. It<br />
is found to be the sister group of a clade of<br />
obligatory quadrupedal sauropodomorphs<br />
(Melanorosaurus + Sauropoda) and thus lies<br />
at the heart of the basal sauropodomorph–<br />
sauropod transition. The narrow jaws of A.<br />
celestae retain a pointed symphysis but appear<br />
to have lacked fleshy cheeks. Broad, U-shaped<br />
jaws were previously thought to have evolved<br />
prior to the loss of gape-restricting cheeks.<br />
However, the narrow jaws of A. celestae retain<br />
a pointed symphysis but appear to have lacked<br />
fleshy cheeks, demonstrating unappreciated<br />
homoplasy in the evolution of the sauropod<br />
bulk-browsing apparatus. The limbs of A. celestae<br />
indicate that it retained a habitual bipedal<br />
gait although incipient characters associated<br />
with the pronation of the manus and the<br />
adoption of a quadrupedal gait are evident<br />
through geometric morphometric analysis (using<br />
thin-plate splines) of the ulna and femur.<br />
Cursorial ability appears to have been reduced<br />
and the weight bearing axis of the pes shifted<br />
to a medial, entaxonic position, falsifying the<br />
hypothesis that entaxony evolved in sauropods<br />
only after an obligate quadrupedal gait had<br />
been adopted.<br />

A dinosaur braincase from the Middle Jurassic<br />
(Bathonian) of Oxfordshire (England) is<br />
described. The specimen, which has historical<br />
significance, has been erratically attributed to<br />
either a sauropod or a theropod on the basis of<br />
vague phenetic resemblances. It is here reinterpreted<br />
in the light of recent cladistic<br />
analyses of dinosaurs, allowing the first proper<br />
character-based discussion of its affinities. It<br />
resembles those of ornithischian and prosauropod<br />
dinosaurs in the absence of a prominent,<br />
caudolaterally directed bony sheet from<br />
either the crista tuberalis (as in all theropods)<br />
or the crista prootica (as in all sauropods except<br />
juveniles of the eusauropod Shunosaurus).<br />
This braincase shows two synapomorphic<br />
characters of the Eusauropoda: the region of<br />
the cranium is rostrocaudally shortened and<br />
the long axis of the supratemporal fenestra is<br />
transversely oriented. For these characters,<br />
ornithischians, theropods, and prosauropods<br />
retain the plesiomorphic condition. It is concluded<br />
that the specimen is an important exemplar<br />
of a Middle Jurassic sauropod braincase<br />
and it is suggested that it could be from<br />
the eusauropod Cetiosaurus.<br />

The holotype of Stenopelix valdensis is the<br />
most completely known dinosaur specimen<br />
from the "Wealden" of northwestern Germany,<br />
but its phylogenetic position has remained<br />
highly controversial. Most recent authors have<br />
suggested affinities with the ornithischian<br />
clade Marginocephalia, and most commonly<br />
to the marginocephalian subclade Pachycephalosauria.<br />
A pachycephalosaurian identity<br />
would make Stenopelix the only confirmed<br />
pre-Late Cretaceous member of this clade,<br />
breaking up an extensive ghost lineage which<br />
extends to the inferred origin of Pachycephalosaurian<br />
in the Middle-Late Jurassic. A brief<br />
review indicates that there is no compelling<br />
fossil evidence for pachycephalosaurs prior to<br />
the Late Cretaceous.<br />

suite of autapomorphic features. Jinzhousaurus<br />
and an unnamed sauropod represent the<br />
largest, but some of the least abundant, nimals<br />
in the Jehol Biota, a situation that contrasts<br />
with many other Lower Cretaceous faunas in<br />
which large dinosaurs are common faunal<br />
components. This rarity may be due to eithern<br />
palaeoenvironmental constraints or taphonomic<br />
bias, although it is not possible to<br />

articulations of ten tyrannosaurid specimens,<br />
including two nearly in-sity articulated fossils,<br />
were investigated and compared with those in<br />
extant archosauria. For extant archosaurs, dissections<br />
were conducted to rationalize the soft<br />
tissue anatomy in tyrannosaurids. This study<br />
shows that the rib articulates ventrlly or posteroventrally<br />
with thedistal end of the corresponging<br />
vertebral transverse process in the<br />
tyrannosaurid ribcage. This result provides a<br />
cornerstone for exploring the evolution of the<br />
ribcage and breathing mechanisms across the<br />
theropod lineage leading to birds.<br />

The neck posture of sauropod dinosaurs has<br />
long been controversial. Recent reconstructions<br />
position the cervical vertebrae and skull<br />
in an "osteological neutral pose" (ONP), the<br />
best fit arrived at by articulating the vertebrae<br />
with the zygapophyses in maximum contact.<br />
This approach in isolation suggests that most<br />
or all sauropods held their necks horizontally.<br />
However, a substantial literature on extant<br />
amniotes (mammals, turtles, squanmates,<br />
121
crocodilians and birds) shows that living animals<br />
do not habitually maintain their necks in<br />
ONP.Instead, the neck is maximally extended<br />
and the head is maximally flexed, so that the<br />
mid-cervical region is near vertical.<br />

A new genus and species of Tritylodontidae,<br />
Yuanotherium minor, is described and compared<br />
with other knowntritylodontids. The<br />
new taxon is represented by a partially preserved<br />
upper jaw with three postcanines, collected<br />
from the upper part of the Shishugou<br />
Formation in the Wucaiwan area of the Junggar<br />
Basin, northwestern Xinjiang, China. The<br />
new species differs from other tritylodontids<br />
mainly in having posteriormost two cusps of<br />
the median row on upper postcanines closely<br />
place. The new tritylodontid may have been<br />
omnivorous rather than herbivorous, as previously<br />
suggested for tritylodontids in general.<br />

Six theropod teeth from a Late Jurassic<br />

reveals that the teeth are very similar to velociraptorine<br />
dromaeosaurid teeth from the<br />
Guimarota coal mine and to velociraptorine<br />
dromaeosaurid teeth from Una. Our data indicate<br />
that the teeth from the Kimmeridgian of<br />
Lower Saxony are of velociraptorine dromaeosurid<br />
type, and therefore represent one of<br />
the oldest occurrences of the group dromaeosauridae.<br />

The structure and orientation of the posterior<br />
extremity (tail club) of the caudal vertebrae<br />
of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis<br />
Young and Chao, 1972 from the Upper Jurassic<br />
Shangshaximiao Formation has been analyzed<br />
to determine the tail club function using<br />
Finite Element Analysis. Of the four caudal<br />
vertebrae composing the tail club, the second<br />
largest (C"1") was probably the most<br />
proximal, and is fixed with the preceding sequence<br />
of the caudal vertebrae, whereas the<br />
smallest (C"4") is free and forms the<br />
termination of the tail club. Our analysis also<br />
suggests that the tail club is more efficient in<br />
lateral swinging rather than up-and-down motion,<br />
and that the best region for the tail club<br />
to impact is at the spine of the largest of the<br />
four caudals (C"2"), with a maximum<br />
load for impact at about 450 N. The tail club<br />
of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis probably<br />
also had limitations as a defense weapon and<br />
was more possibly a sensory organ to improve<br />
nerve conduction velocity to enhance the capacity<br />
for sensory perception of its surroundings.<br />

Salzgitter 下 白 垩 统 鱼 龙 Platypterygius<br />
hercyniens 的 再 描 述 = Redescription of the<br />
ichthyosaur Platypterygius hercyniens (KUHN<br />
1946 ) from the Lower Cretaceous of Salzgitter<br />
(Lower Saxony,Germany). ( 英 文 ). Kolb C;<br />
Sander P M. Palaeontographica Abt.A, 2009,<br />
288(4-6): 151-192<br />
Platypterygius bercynicus (KUHN 1946) is<br />
a Lower Cretaceous ichthyosaur, the type and<br />
only specimen of which from the Northern<br />
Harzvorland of Lower Saxony, Germany, is<br />
redescribed. The validity of the species is confirmed<br />
in this work. The skeleton, the bones of<br />
which are preserved in three dimensions, consists<br />
of a partial skull, the vertebral column up<br />
to the anterior caudal region with neural<br />
arches and ribs, parts of the pectoral girdle,<br />
both forefins, and parts of the hindfins. The<br />
referral of the specimen to the genus described<br />
in this work is based upon the following features:<br />
an internasal foramen is present; the<br />
extracondylar area on the basioccipital is<br />
small; the basioccipital lacks a peg; the occipital<br />
condyle is semihemispherical; the tooth<br />
roots are quadrangular in cross section; the<br />
height/length ratio of the dorsal vertebrae is<br />
more than 2 in all dorsals; the ratio of the<br />
height of the cervical vertebral centrum to the<br />
height of the neural arch is less than 1; the<br />
outline of the posterior dorsal vertebrae is triangular;<br />
the humerus has a constricted shaft<br />
with a distally little expanded end and a long<br />
and high trochanter; the radius is less massive<br />
than the ulna; the paddle has no fewer than 7<br />
digits; there is more than one preaxial accessory<br />
digit; the intermedium does not contact<br />
the humerus; the phalanges are characteristically<br />
rectangular (except towards the tip of the<br />
paddle). The characters and combination of<br />
characters that distinguish all the other species<br />
of Platypterygius from P. bercynicus are: the<br />
internasal foramen is surrounded only by the<br />
nasals; the pineal foramen is situated close to<br />
the nasofrontal suture; the relatively long supratemporal;<br />
the paroccipital process of the<br />
opisthotic is strongly developed; the axis is<br />
not fused with the third cervical centrum; the<br />
apophyses fuse at centrum 48; the scapula is<br />
relatively elongate and slender and only<br />
slightly fan-shaped in its distal part; the humerus<br />
has distally two large (medial) and two<br />
small (posterior and anterior) facets for union<br />
with the pisiform, ulna, radius, and the extra<br />
zeugopodial element anterior to the radius; the<br />
pisiform is only slightly crescentic; the forefin<br />
shows a digital count of 7 in the distal carpal<br />
region and of eight in the phalangeal region;<br />
two preaxial and one postaxial accessory digits<br />
are present; one additional distal accessory<br />
digit is present and inserts between digit 1 and<br />
preaxial accessory digit 1; distal carpal 4 does<br />
not articulate with the intermedium, and distally<br />
the femur has three equally sized facets.<br />
The confirmation of the species P. bercynicus<br />
(KUHN 1946) leads to the conclusion that two<br />
species of Platypterygius occurred in the Aptian<br />
of Northern Germany, P. platydactylus<br />
(BROILI 1907) and P. bercynicus.<br />

The genus Diplocynodon is widely recorded<br />
in Europe from Early Eocene up to Middle<br />
Miocene times. A fragmented but almost<br />
complete skull of a new species of Diplocynodon<br />
is reported from the Late Eocene locality<br />
of Domerat, northern border of the Massif<br />
Central (Allier), France. The present skull<br />
provides an important basis for comparison<br />
124
with other members of the genus and complements<br />
a fossil record full of gaps despite<br />
the large number of vertebrate localities spanning<br />
the Cenozoic. The new taxon occurs at a<br />
key period for climate evolution with conditions<br />
marking the transition from a greenhouse<br />
to an icehouse world. The response of crocodylian<br />
assemblages to this climatic shift is discussed<br />
in light of evidence for their decline in<br />
diversity from the Eocene period onward.<br />

Boles W E. Alcheringa, 1993, 17(1`): 19 - 25<br />
Pengana robertbolesi, a fossil raptor from<br />
the Tertiary of Riversleigh, northwestern<br />
Queensland, shares with the living genera<br />
Polyboroides and Geranospiza a distinctive<br />
morphology of the distal tibiotarsus. The<br />
modified structure of the intertarsal joint permits<br />
a much greater degree of both anterioposterior<br />
and mediolateral flexion than in other<br />
species of the Accipitridae. Living species<br />
employ acrobatic foraging methods, using the<br />
flexible leg to probe hollows and recesses. It is<br />
considered that P. robertbolesi used similar<br />
foraging techniques. Because it was approximately<br />
twice the size of living taxa, it probably<br />
was capable of predating substantially larger<br />
prey<br />

Science Bulletin, 2009, 54(3): 430-435<br />
Recent fossil discoveries have substantially<br />
reduced the morphological gap between nonavian<br />
and avian dinosaurs, yet avians including<br />
Archaeopteryx differ from non-avian theropods<br />
in their limb proportions. In particular,<br />
avians have proportionally longer and more<br />
robust forelimbs that are capable of supporting<br />
a large aerodynamic surface. Here we report<br />
on a new maniraptoran dinosaur, Anchiornis<br />
huxleyi gen. et sp. nov., based on a specimen<br />
collected from lacustrine deposits of uncertain<br />
age in western Liaoning, China. With an estimated<br />
mass of 110 grams, Anchiornis is the<br />
smallest known non-avian theropod dinosaur.<br />
It exhibits some wrist features indicative of<br />
high mobility, presaging the wing-folding<br />
mechanisms seen in more derived birds and<br />
suggesting rapid evolution of the carpus. Otherwise,<br />
Anchiornis is intermediate in general<br />
morphology between non-avian and avian dinosaurs,<br />
particularly with regard to relative<br />
forelimb length and thickness, and represents<br />
a transitional step toward the avian condition.<br />
In contrast with some recent comprehensive<br />
phylogenetic analyses, our phylogenetic<br />
analysis incorporates subtle morphological<br />
variations and recovers a conventional result<br />
supporting the monophyly of Avialae.<br />

The loon, of which wing and pectoral girdle<br />

It constitutes the most substantial<br />
fossilrecord of the taxon Selenornis, which<br />
was before known from a distal tibiotarsus<br />
from a unknown horizon of the Quercy fissure<br />
fillings in southwestern France. It is detailed<br />
that there are differences in the higher level<br />
taxonomic composition of the known early<br />
Oligocene avifaunas of northern and southern<br />
Europe, which may reflect true zoogeographic<br />
facts owing to a different climate and vegatation.<br />

The phylogenetic pattern and timing of the<br />
radiation of mammals, especially the geographical<br />
origins of major crown clades, are<br />
areas of controversy among molecular biologists,<br />
morphologists and palaeontologists. Molecular<br />
phylogeneticists have identified an<br />
Afrotheria clade, which includes several taxa<br />
as different as tenrecs (Tenrecidae),golden<br />
moles (Chrysochloridae), elephant-shrews<br />
(Macroscelididae), aardvarks (Tubulidentata)<br />
and paenungulates (elephants, sea cows and<br />
hyracoids). Molecular data also suggest a Cretaceous<br />
African origin for Afrotheria within<br />
Placentalia followed by a long period of endemic<br />
evolution on the Afro-Arabian continent<br />
after the mid-Cretaceous Gondwanan<br />
breakup (approx. 105-25 Myr ago). However,<br />
there was no morphological support for such a<br />
natural grouping so far. Here, we report new<br />
dental and postcranial evidence of Eocene<br />
stem hyrax and macroscelidid from North Africa<br />
that, for the first time, provides a congruent<br />
phylogenetic view with the molecular<br />
Afrotheria clade. These new fossils imply,<br />
however, substantial changes regarding the<br />
historical biogeography of afrotheres. Their<br />
long period of isolation in Africa, as assumed<br />
by molecular inferences, is now to be reconsidered<br />
inasmuch as Eocene paenungulates<br />
and elephant-shrews are here found to be related<br />
to some Early Tertiary Euramerican<br />
'hyopsodontid condylarths' (archaic hoofed<br />
mammals). As a result, stem members of<br />
afrotherian clades are not strictly African but<br />
also include some Early Paleogene Holarctic<br />
mammals.<br />

Dissected colluvial sediments on a Peace<br />

Columbia enclosed a late Pleistocene micromammalian<br />
faunule. The fossil remains, including<br />
a few loosely articulated skulls and<br />
mandibles, were dominated by taiga voles<br />
(Microtus xanthognathus). The Bear Flat site<br />
constitutes the second fossil occurrence in the<br />
region of this elusive species, which is unknown<br />
in British Columbia in historic times.<br />
The late Pleistocene age, determined by accelerator<br />
mass spectrometry directly on taiga<br />
vole bone collagen, is consistent with the ages<br />
of widespread taiga vole records peripheral to<br />
the Laurentide ice sheet in western, midwestern,<br />
and eastern North America. The<br />
presence of allo-chronous remains within a<br />
comprehensively dated sedimentary sequence<br />
provides a cautionary note about straightforward<br />
acceptance of relative stratigraphic dating.<br />

The Stripe Field Mouse lineage (Apodemus<br />

in southwestern France (locality of Bouziès-Q,<br />
Quercy), according to the age of ca. 17,417–<br />
17,044 BC of the collected sample (AMS 14 C<br />
dating of collagen extracted from small<br />
mammal bones). This occurrence demonstrates<br />
that a much western expansion of the<br />
Stripe Field Mouse lineage than believed occurred<br />
at the end of the last cold phase of the<br />
Pleistocene, the few fossil populations up to<br />
now known being both younger and located<br />
inside the present-day distribution area of the<br />
lineage. The AMS 14 C date supports the hypothesis<br />
of the late migration of this species<br />
into Europe. If tooth morphology indicates<br />
clear differences with respect to Apodemus<br />
sylvaticus or A. flavicollis, there are appreciable<br />
ones between the Bouziès-Q population<br />
and the present-day Apodemus agrarius of<br />

the sub-specific level despite the short time<br />

A fossil diprotodon jawbone coated and<br />
impregnated with a well-cemented fine breccia<br />
or tuff was recovered from weakly consolidated<br />
Pleistocene lacustrine sediments<br />
near Yonki in the Papua New Guinea highlands.<br />
The fine breccia includes angular rock<br />
and mineral fragments derived from country<br />
rock, accretionary lapilli and clay minerals. It<br />
does not include any identifiable primary volcanic<br />
material. The presence of accretionary<br />
lapilli and lack of volcanic clasts suggests an<br />
origin by phreatic eruption—an explosive<br />
eruption driven by the violent escape of gas.<br />
Minerals in the fine breccia have an age of<br />
13.2 ± 0.2 Ma, middle Miocene, as indicated<br />
by 40 Ar/ 39 Ar analysis. This is the age of the<br />
country rock that was blasted by the phreatic<br />
eruption. Igneous activity in the Yonki area is<br />
thought to have ceased at 7.4 Ma (younger age<br />
limit of Elandora Porphyry; late Miocene),<br />
and so it is likely, but not certain, that the<br />
phreatic eruption occurred not later than 7.4<br />
Ma. The jawbone, as far as can be told from<br />
its poor condition, is dentally similar to the<br />
late Pliocene and possibly Pleistocene 'Kolopsis'<br />
watutense recovered from other sites in<br />
New Guinea. Probably, the jawbone, or the<br />
living marsupial, was buried in the fine breccia<br />
at the time of the phreatic eruption, and its<br />
remains were subsequently reworked by river<br />
erosion and redeposited in the lacustrine<br />
sediments. Recrystallization and loss of primary<br />
texture in some of the bone may be a<br />
result of heating at the time of, or preceding,<br />
the eruption.<br />

Coquenia bondi gen. nov. et sp. nov., the<br />
first leontiniid of the Lumbrera Formation, is<br />
described. It was found at a new fossiliferous<br />
site called El Simbolar, situated north of<br />
Pampa Grande, Salta province, Argentina. It is<br />
represented by the skull and jaw with teeth.<br />
The teeth are brachyodont. The dental formula<br />
is 3/3; 1/1; 4/4; 3/3. Caniniform incisors, with<br />
lingual and labial cingulum. This feature associated<br />
with an 12 more developed than 11 and<br />
13 indicates that this new taxon is a leontiniid.<br />
The crown of the upper canine is rotated, and<br />
has a lingual and labial cingulum. Upper premolars<br />
have an anterolingual cingulum which<br />
determines a small basin situated just in front<br />
of the protocone. Premolars increase greatly in<br />
size from the P1 to P4, being the P1 highly<br />
reduced. Upper molars show a lingual cingulum.<br />
All the molars have a posterior fossa.<br />
The M3 is wider towards to the base on its<br />
lingual side. Although Lumbrera Formation<br />
was considered Casamayoran in age, the taxon<br />
described in this paper, and other unpublished<br />
notoungulate remains found in the same<br />
stratigraphic level, suggests that the red beds<br />
overlaying the "Faja Verde 11" would be substantially<br />
younger and could be interpreted as<br />
Mustersan or even grounger in age. These layers<br />
could be correlated with those of Casa<br />

aeolian deposits from Botucatu Formation,<br />
Parana Basin, and it corresponds to<br />
trackways of a small sized mammal. The<br />
tetrapod ichnofossils studied at the present<br />

Sao Paulo State. The purpose of this study is<br />
to report some new data diagnosis to B. elusivum,<br />

with the holotype and first paratype, and<br />
allowed to determine the ectaxonic character<br />

The tetradactyly was also observed in<br />
the fore autopodia. The heteropody or the homopody,<br />
in the occurrence of mammal ichnofossils,<br />
was interpreted as the result of preservational<br />
conditions associated to distinctive<br />

The Los Menucos ichnofauna from the Rio<br />

unique Triassic track association known from<br />
Patagonia. The new footprints described in the<br />
present study were collected from the same<br />
levels where the original tetrapod ichnites<br />
from Casamiquela's works were exhumed.<br />
The track-bearing levels are included in the<br />
Los Menucos Complex and correspond to<br />
fine-grained tuffaceous sandstones interbedded<br />
with tuffaceous mudstones that contain a<br />
rich "Dicroidium-type Flora". In the present<br />
study new groups of trackmakers, that included<br />
footprints assigned to terapsid dicynodonts<br />
(Pen tasauropus sp. Ellenberger) and<br />
putative "lepidosaurs" (Rhynchosauroides<br />
Maidwell) were identified. The new specimens<br />
described do not include ichnites related<br />
to archosaurs (basal archosaurs and/or dinosaurs),<br />
which are the dominant component in<br />
most known Late Triassic Gondwanan<br />
tetrapod faunas. Previous assumptions about<br />
the relative abundance and high diversity of<br />
small therapsids, probably theriodonts represented<br />
by the footprint assemblage are corroborated<br />
by the new evidence. This unusual<br />
situation, which is supported by the new findings,<br />
might be due to the record of an endemic<br />
fauna actually dominated by therapsid taxa in<br />
northern Patagonia<br />

This study focuses on ecological processes<br />
such as competition or predation from an evolutionary<br />
perspective. First, we attempt to test<br />
the idea that species with similar feeding requirements<br />
tend to coexist by separating morphologically<br />
or behaviourally. Then, the Barton–David<br />
test was applied to several carnivore<br />
communities (felids and canids) separated<br />
in time. Although the preservation bias<br />
of the fossil record renders our conclusions<br />
tentative, the general equal size–ratio pattern<br />
in most of the guilds examined indicates that<br />
inter-specific competition for prey species<br />
seems to be a good candidate to explain the<br />
evolution of guild composition and morphological<br />
traits throughout the Pleistocene for<br />
the two groups considered, felids and canids.<br />

Paleoanthropologists have hypothesized<br />
that, during the evolution of increased carnivory<br />
in our lineage, hominins transitioned<br />
through a scavenging niche created by certain<br />
carnivoran taxa (especially sabertooths) that<br />
may have lacked the morphology necessary to<br />
utilize all parts of carcasses, thus leaving an<br />
open niche of high-quality scavengable remains.<br />
In this article, we examine the postcanine<br />
dentition of modern and fossil carnivorans<br />
using quantifications of occlusal radiiof-curvature<br />
(ROC) and correlate this morphology<br />
with feeding behavior to deduce the<br />
carcass-processing capabilities of the Plio-<br />
Pleistocene carnivores of South Africa. ROC<br />
data do a good job of separating taxa by dietary<br />
category, revealing possible differences in<br />
the carcass-processing abilities of fossil and<br />
modern members of some extant species, and<br />
confirming that Chasmaporthetes was probably<br />
a hypercarnivore and not a durophage like<br />
the modern hyenas. Contrary to previous hypotheses,<br />
sabertooth felids do not appear to<br />
have been more hypercarnivorous than modern<br />
felids based on these data.<br />

The habitat and habit of Australia's first<br />

Wynyard on the northwestern coast of Tasmania,<br />
remain enigmatic (Aplin 1987, Aplin &<br />

in a rafted clast of estuarine silts from the<br />
same sequence of earliest Miocene marine<br />
sandstones as the skeletal remains indicate the<br />
local vegetation was Nothofagus-gymnosperm<br />
evergreen rainforest, probably with a cryptogam-rich<br />
rather than woody subcanopy stratum.<br />
Comparisons with present-day Nothofagus<br />
rainforests suggest that, although the<br />
subcanopy would have been sufficiently open<br />
to allow the passage of a large grounddwelling<br />
herbivorous marsupial, limited food<br />
resources are more consistent with Wynyardia<br />
being a generalist arboreal herbivore<br />

Tribosphenic molars of basal marsupials<br />
and placentals are a major adaptation, with the<br />
protocone (pestle) of the upper molar crushing<br />
and grinding in the talonid basin (mortar) on<br />
the lower molar. The extinct pseudotribosphenic<br />
mammals have a reversed tribosphenic<br />
molar in which a pseudo-talonid is<br />
anterior to the trigonid, to receive the pseudoprotocone<br />
of the upper molar. The pseudoprotocone<br />
is analogous to the protocone, but<br />
the anteriorly placed pseudo-talonid is opposite<br />
to the posterior talonid basin of true tribosphenic<br />
mammals. Here we describe a<br />
mammal of the Middle Jurassic period with<br />
highly derived pseudo-tribosphenic molars but<br />
predominantly primitive mandibular and<br />
skeletal features, and place it in a basal position<br />
in mammal phylogeny. Its shoulder girdle<br />
and limbs show fossorial features similar to<br />
those of mammaliaforms and monotremes, but<br />
different compared with those of the earliestknown<br />
Laurasian tribosphenic (boreosphenid)<br />
mammals. The find reveals a much greater<br />
range of dental evolution in Mesozoic mammals<br />
than in their extant descendants, and<br />
strengthens the hypothesis of homoplasy of<br />
'tribosphenic-like' molars among mammals<br />

The interesting finding of a Hippidion<br />
specimen in sediments referred to the Guerrero<br />
Member of the Lujan Formation (late<br />
Pleistocene) in northeast Buenos Aires Province<br />
is reported. Preliminary considerations<br />
indicate that the bearing level represents a<br />
deposition environment similar to existing<br />
poorly-drained flood plains. Analysis of several<br />
taphonomic characteristics (e.g. position,<br />
degree of articulation, soft tissue molds) allows<br />
considering that the specimen was incorporated<br />
through swamp-miring that also led to<br />
its death. Available palaeoautoecological information<br />
for this taxon allows the possibility<br />
that the accumulation environment of this<br />
specimen was a habitat used regularly by the<br />
taxon. Reconstruction of the taphonomic path<br />
of this specimen admits the assumption that at<br />
least some parts of the floodplain could have<br />
worked as swamp-miring sites. The occurrence<br />
of this taphonomic mode in the Salado<br />
River Basin is particularly relevant because it<br />
accounts for the relative abundance of relatively<br />
complete and well-articulated skeletons,<br />
and it also evidences possible taphonomic bias<br />
related to the frequency of use of this environment<br />
by each taxon.<br />

A new ailuravine rodent, Meldimys musak<br />

lignites of western India. It is the oldest record<br />
of Rodentia from India. Meldiunys was previously<br />
known only from Europe, and ailuravines<br />
were previously reported only from<br />
Europe and North Ameria. Its occurrence in<br />
India allows the first direct correlation between<br />
the early Eocene land mammal horizons<br />
of Europe and India, and raises the possibility<br />
of a terrestrial faunal exchange between India<br />
and Eurasia close to the Palaeocene-Eocene<br />
trasition.<br />

A skull and associated mandible of a rodent<br />
found in the Arenisca Albardon Member,<br />
Loma de las Tapias Formation, San Juan<br />
Province,Argentina, is studied. It is assigned<br />
to the species Cardiatherium chasicoense (Hydrochoeridae),<br />
being the single record of this<br />
species out of its type locality, Arroyo Chasico,<br />
Buenos Aires province. In addition, this<br />
is the single remain with skull and mandible in<br />
association, which permits corroboration of<br />
the assignment to this species of isolated upper<br />
teeth found in the type locality. This<br />
specimen was compared qualitatively with all<br />
the species of Cardiatherium so far recognized,<br />
and was included in geometric morphometric<br />
analyses in order to compare morphological<br />
features that could not be evaluated through<br />
linear measurements. The specimen is a juvenile,<br />
and proved to fit within the model proposed<br />
for ontogenetic growing of cheek teeth<br />
for late Miocene capybaras. Its assignment to<br />
C. chasicoense permits the correlation of the<br />
bearing levels with those of the type locality,<br />
lithofacies association 3 (Las Barrancas Member)<br />
of the Arroyo Chasico Formation, suggesting<br />
an age of ca. 7 Ma for these latter, on<br />
the basis of a dating of the middle section of<br />
the Arenisca Albardon Member which yielded<br />
7.0 + 0.9 Ma. The bearing sediments are interpreted<br />
as deposited by a braided river. So far,<br />
all the records of fossil capybaras have been<br />
found in water-related sediments, in accordance<br />
with the semiaquatic habits of their<br />
modern representatives.<br />

The description of the femur of the sloth<br />
Protomegalonyx chasicoensis Scillato-Yane is<br />
based on a right complete femur (MMP M 478)<br />
from the Arroyo Chasico Formation (late<br />

characterized by smaller size than Protomegalonyx<br />

Protomegalonyx praecursor Kraglievich; fovea<br />
capitis within the femoral head; greater<br />
trochanter less developed; third trochanter<br />
slender and projected; as in P. doellojuradoi<br />

epicondyles projected. The sloths present in<br />
the above mentioned unit are represented by<br />
five species: the Nothrotheriidae Xyophorus<br />

Anisodontherium halmyronomum<br />

Protomegalonyx Kraglievich and Octomylodon<br />
Ameghino are recorded from the "conglomerado<br />

Rios Province. Chasicobradys intermedius is<br />
very similar to Neohapalops rothi Kraglievich<br />
from the mentioned unit of Entre Rios Province,<br />

The material of Hispanomys bijugatus (Rodentia,<br />
Cricetodontinae) from La Grive-Saint<br />
Alban (carrière Lechartier, fissure L3) is described<br />
for the first time and compared with<br />
all species of the genus known to date. As<br />
common in the Upper Aragonian populations<br />
of Hispanomys, this taxon evidences a low<br />
variability. H. bijugatus shows some progressive<br />
characters with respect to the remaining<br />
Aragonian congeneric species, such as the absence<br />
of labial and lingual cingula surrounding<br />
the upper and lower molar valleys respectively,<br />
the increase in the number of roots on<br />
the second lower molar, and the lost of mesolophs.<br />
This suggests that H. bijugatus, in spite<br />
of being one of the oldest species of the genus,<br />
is relatively derived with regard to the coeval<br />
congeneric species. Because H. bijugatus and<br />
H. decedens are believed to be closely related<br />
species within the same lineage, the fact that<br />
the former shows a more progressive dental<br />
morphology than the latter suggests that the<br />
unnamed fissure-fillings from La Grive and<br />
La Grive M (with H. decedens only) are older<br />
than La Grive L3 (with H. bijugatus only).<br />
The coexistence of both species at locality L5<br />
suggests an intermediate age.<br />

described. Species of Chulpasia and Thylacotinga<br />
share many striking derived as well as<br />
plesiomorphic dental features that allow recognition<br />
of a new monophyletic subfamily,<br />
Chulpasiinae. Its familial relationships are in<br />
doubt, but members of the subfamily could<br />
have provided the ancestral stock for Rosendolops<br />
and other early Tertiary South American<br />
polydolopimorphian marsupials. This is<br />
the first evidence that a Gondwanan genus of<br />
therian land mammals spanned South America,<br />
Antarctica and Australia during the early Tertiary.<br />
The very close similarity between the<br />
Peruvian and Australian fossils (and suggested<br />
short time span between their stratigraphic<br />
occurrences) provides further paleontological<br />
support for a trans-Antarctic land connection<br />
between South America and Australia extending<br />
well into the early Paleogene.<br />

J F. Historical Biology, 2008, 20(2): 81-86<br />
This short review paper compares the lower<br />
jaw and lower dentition of the small Mesozoic<br />
mammal Vincelestes neuquenianus with some<br />
other Laurasian and Gondwanan taxa. On this<br />
basis a set of 90 characters recognised by recent<br />
authors was assembled and used to construct<br />
a cladogram. The topology suggests that<br />
the early Cretaceous mammal from Patagonia,<br />
Vincelestes, is nested within a clade comprising<br />
'other Gondwanan mammals', separated<br />
from Laurasian taxa. In general, because there<br />
is a lack of Mesozoic mammal skulls from<br />
Gondwana, meaning that the skull of Vincelestes<br />
can only be compared with cranial material<br />
from Laurasia, an incomplete understanding<br />
of relationships has resulted in earlier<br />
studies. The prototribosphenic condition of<br />
Vincelestes is supported by the cladistic analysis<br />
presented here and permits a number of<br />
interesting speculations because it is of later<br />
age than Jurassic tribosphenic mammals from<br />
Gondwana. It is proposed that the tribosphenic<br />
condition may have developed first amongst<br />
taxa on Pangea, before the separation of<br />
Laurasia and Gondwana.<br />

has been suspected in the North-<br />

breccia from the sites of Belobaka and Ambongonambakoa<br />

developed parastyle and a mesostyle. This<br />
morphology is close to that which is found in<br />
the genus Propithecus. This small sized Palaeopropithecus<br />
could probably chew little<br />
bits of harder food than the two larger species.<br />
The description of this new species occurs<br />
100 years after the other two, and suggests a<br />
greater diversity of Palaeopropithecus, extinct<br />

these structures are found to be of taxonomic<br />

The identification of Amahuacatherium peruvium<br />
as a late Miocene gomphothere from<br />
Amazonian Peru has been challenged, with<br />
some authors claiming the specimen is only a<br />
western Amazonian example of the widespread,<br />
late Pleistocene genus Haplomastodon.<br />
Arguments against placing Amahuacatherium<br />
in synonymy with Haplomastodon include<br />
diagnostic dental characters, the presence in<br />
the former of lower tusks in adult individuals,<br />
and the upper Miocene age of the deposits<br />
from which it came. Amahuacatherium, as<br />
originally reported, is the oldest known North<br />
American mammal to enter South America in<br />
an early phase of the Great American Faunal<br />
Interchange.<br />

Three genera of Tayassuidae are recognized<br />
in South America: Platygonus Le Conte, 1848,<br />
Catagonus Ameghino, 1904 and Tayassu<br />
Fischer, 1814. This study provides the first<br />
systematic review of the Pleistocene tayassuids<br />
yet reported from Bolivia. The richest<br />
records of the family in South America derived<br />
from central-eastern Argentina and<br />
southern Brazil. Catagonus stenocephalus<br />
(Lund in Reinhardt, 1880) is documented for<br />
the first time in Bolivia, significantly extending<br />
the geographic distribution of this species<br />
in South America. We cannot confirm the validity<br />
of Platygonus tarijensis (Ameghino,<br />
1904), but accept its generic allocation. Both<br />
taxa show adaptations to arid or semi-arid and<br />
relatively open environments, which is consistent<br />
with the palaeoenvironmental conditions<br />
previously proposed for the Tarija Valley. The<br />
veracity of other records of the family from<br />
Bolivia cannot be confirmed.<br />

Fossil puma-like cats (Puma pardoides) are<br />
recorded from several Late Pliocene to Early<br />
Pleistocene Eurasian localities, but the interpretation<br />
of the phylogenetic relationships between<br />
them and the extant puma (Puma concolor)<br />
remains controversial. In the past, extinct<br />
puma-like cats have been classified into<br />
several genera and species, and a close relationship<br />
with both pumas (Puma concolor)<br />
and snow leopards (Uncia uncia) has been<br />
suggested. Here, we describe the fossil remains<br />
of puma-like cats from the Iberian Peninsula.<br />
These remains (from the localities of<br />
La Puebla de Valverde, Cueva Victoria and<br />
Vallparadís) cover the whole known chronological<br />
distribution of this species in Eurasia.<br />
Although there are dentognathic similarities<br />
with U. uncia, the Iberian remains of P. pardoides<br />
most closely resemble the extant P.<br />
concolor. It is concluded that P. pardoides is<br />
closely related to living pumas, which supports<br />
a likely Eurasian origin of the puma<br />
lineage.<br />

The Late Cretaceous record of mammals<br />
from India assumes great significance in view<br />
of the fact that it is the only Gondwanan<br />
landmass that has yielded definitive eutherian<br />
mammals. These mammals have variously<br />
been assigned to palaeoryctids, archontans or<br />
Eutheria incertae sedis. Well preserved lower<br />
molars recovered from a new mammalyielding<br />
Deccan intertrappean site near Kisalpuri<br />
village, Dindori District, Madhya<br />
Pradesh (state), India, are described here under<br />
a new species Deccanolestes narmadensis<br />
sp. nov. The new fossil material indicates<br />
close phylogenetic relationship between Deccanolestes<br />
from India and Afrodon<br />
(Adapisoriculidae) from the Late Palaeocene<br />
of Africa and Europe. In view of older age and<br />
more primitive state of Deccanolestes teeth, it<br />
is inferred that Deccanolestes represents an<br />
ancestral morphotype from which the African/European<br />
adapisoriculid Afrodon may<br />
have been derived. This is the first compelling<br />
terrestrial fossil evidence for an early dispersal<br />
between India and Africa. Such a dispersal<br />
possibly involved an East African contact with<br />
India at the KT transition.<br />

The Eocene-Oligocene boundary (EOB)<br />
marks a period of dramatic global climatic<br />
change correlated with pronounced mammalian<br />
faunal change. The timing of these events<br />
is well constrained in North America and<br />
Europe, but the Asian record has yet to produce<br />
a synthetic section linking environmental<br />
change, mammalian fossils, and precise geochronological<br />
dates. Here we present the first<br />
magnetostratigraphic section for the Hsanda<br />
Gol Formation, Mongolia, which yields significant<br />
Oligocene fossils and also marks a<br />
pattern of aridification that is tightly correlated<br />
to the EOB (33.9 Ma), supporting a<br />
broader pattern of aridification in the central<br />
Asian plateau across the EOB. Oligocene faunas<br />
of Asia can now be confidently correlated<br />
to those of North America, Europe, and Africa.<br />
These results suggest that mammalian faunal<br />
turnover within Asia occurred slightly later<br />
than similar events within Europe, and question<br />
the influence of Asian immigrants on the<br />
Grande Coupure faunal turnover.<br />

A large sample of Eumyarion cheek teeth<br />

is studied. It is concluded that this collection<br />
contains two species: E. bifidus and E. weinfurteri.<br />
The similarity in size and morphology<br />
of the cheek teeth of these two species is so<br />
great that only the M1 and M2 can be recognised<br />
with certainty. Eumyarion bifidus seems<br />
to be a descendant of E. orhani from the Early<br />

In this study, the mesowear method is applied<br />
to 11 upper premolars and molars of M.<br />
bavaricum from the Upper Freshwater Molasse<br />
locality of Sandelzhausen (MN 5). With<br />
this method the amount of abrasive and attritive<br />
dental wear is investigated and thus it<br />
provides a time-averaged signature of food<br />
abrasiveness of ungulates. Principal components<br />
analysis is performed on mesowear variables<br />
of M. bavaricum.This species is found to<br />
classify closest to extant mixed feeding ruminants.<br />
This indicates that the diet of M. bavaricum<br />
essentially included nonabrasive browse<br />
but also a certain amount of aabrasive plant<br />
material.<br />

The first mastodon bones noted by Europeans<br />
were collected in New York in 1705, and<br />
the first relatively complete skeletons were<br />
excavated in the Hudson River Valley in the<br />
1790s. At least 10% of all known mastodons<br />
in the U. S. have come from New York. The<br />
137
state has thus played a central role in the long<br />
evolution of knowledge about Mammut<br />
americanum (Kerr, 1792), contributing to the<br />
unique importance of this extinct species in<br />
human understanding of past life. Between<br />
1999 and 2001, three late Pleistocene mastodon<br />
sites in New York state were excavated<br />
by the Paleontological Research Institution<br />
and Cornell University. Radiocarbon ages for<br />
these finds range between 10,780 and 11,560<br />
C-14 yr BP. Taken together, they add significantly<br />
to our knowledge of mastodon paleoenvironments,<br />
taphonomy, and paleobiology,<br />
as well as public educational outreach<br />
and Museum exhibition.<br />

Americana, 2008, (61): 85-110<br />
The hyoid apparatus of proboscideans consists<br />
of five bones: a pair of stylohyoidea, a<br />
pair of thyrohyoidea, and an unpaired basihyoideum.<br />
They are found in the gular (throat)<br />
region and connected to the base of the tongue<br />
below and to the cranium above. The hyoid<br />
apparatus also supports the end piece of the<br />
trachea and the larynx. Hyoid bones are often<br />
overlooked in dissections of elephants, and<br />
remains of preserved skeletal material of extinct<br />
taxa rarely include this apparatus. Material<br />
collected from the Hyde Park, Gilbert, and<br />
North Java Pleistocene sites in New York includes<br />
a complete hyoid apparatus (a rare find)<br />
and a pair of stylohyoidea of the American<br />
mastodon [Mammut americanum (Kerr, 1792)]<br />
Plus one left stylohyoideum and two thyrohyoidea<br />
of a mammoth [possibly Mammuthus<br />
columbi (Falconer, 1857)]. Easily observed<br />
differences between the hyoid apparati of<br />
Mammut and Mammuthus include the presence<br />
of the posterior ramus in the stylohyoids<br />
of Mammuthus and more robust bones in<br />
Mammut. The posterior ramus serves for the<br />
attachment of the digastric muscle (based on<br />
musculature of living elephants). M. americanum<br />
might have had a slightly longer<br />
tongue than that of Mammuthus - 84-98 cm vs.<br />
70-75 cm. Using their flexible trunks and<br />
tongues, these extinct proboscideans could<br />
browse on leaves up to seven meters above<br />
ground level. In living elephants the hyoid<br />
apparatus supports a pouch used as a resonating<br />
chamber, and also as an area to store water<br />
for drinking or dousing in time of stress. Herd<br />
members of both Mammut and Mammuthus<br />
could communicate with others through infrasonic<br />
calls, over a distance of a few kilometers<br />
(production of infrasonic calls involves the<br />
large larynx and its extrinsic muscles that are<br />
attached to the hyoid apparatus). It is hypothesized<br />
that the hyoid apparati of extinct American<br />
mastodons and mammoths functioned<br />
similarly to those of extant elephants. Based<br />
on hyoid characters, it is suggested that<br />
Mammut americanum Occupies a more basal<br />
(primitive) position on a cladogram than<br />
Mammuthus columbi.<br />

Hypnomys morpheus is a giant endemic<br />
dormouse from the Pleistocene deposits of<br />
Mallorca and Menorca (Balearic Islands,Spain).<br />
The present paper aims to interpret<br />
the morphological divergence between<br />
the mandibles of Hypnomys and of its extant<br />
relative Eliomys, the outline of the mandible<br />
being used as a marker of the morphological<br />
divergence. By comparison with the mandible<br />
of Eliomys, the more massive mandible of<br />
Hypnomys has recorded an ecological shift of<br />
the insular lineage towards a more abrasive<br />
diet, including hard vegetable matter, and a<br />
different niche. A microwear analysis of the<br />
teeth of Hypnomys was simultaneously performed<br />
as it can shed light on the diet, and is<br />
independent from the comparison of the mandibles.<br />
Hyupnomys possibly ate harder food<br />
items than Eliomys, and likely occupied most<br />
of the island environments. Hypnomys appears<br />
to have differentiated from its ancestral type<br />
toward a more generalized morphology because<br />
of the lack of competitors.<br />

内 蒙 古 宝 格 达 乌 拉 晚 中 新 世 副 竹 鼠 化 石 =<br />
Pararhizomys (Rodentia, Mamalia) From<br />
The Late Miocene Of Baogeda Ula, CentralL<br />
Nei Mongol. ( 英 文 ). 李 强 . 古 脊 椎 动 物 学<br />
报 , 2010, 48(1): 48-62<br />
描 述 了 1996~2007 年 间 在 内 蒙 古 阿 巴 嘎<br />
旗 晚 中 新 世 宝 格 达 乌 拉 组 采 集 的 副 竹 鼠 化<br />
石 。 材 料 包 括 下 颌 骨 1 件 、 牙 齿 14 枚 和 肢<br />
骨 4 件 , 分 别 采 自 该 组 的 2 个 地 点 。 根 据<br />
标 本 较 大 的 尺 寸 、 形 态 特 征 , 以 及 颊 齿 的<br />
釉 质 曲 线 高 度 , 宝 格 达 乌 拉 材 料 被 归 入 三<br />
趾 马 层 副 竹 鼠 Pararhizomys hipparionum<br />
Teilhard de Chardin & Young , 1931 。<br />
Pararhizomys 是 一 类 具 高 冠 、 脊 形 和 冠 面<br />
构 造 简 单 颊 齿 的 啮 齿 动 物 。 该 属 目 前 发 现<br />
的 化 石 地 点 少 , 材 料 也 不 多 , 主 要 集 中 于<br />
中 国 北 方 和 蒙 古 高 原 周 缘 , 其 地 史 分 布 为<br />
晚 中 新 世 早 期 至 上 新 世 中 期 。 与 鼢 鼠 类<br />
(siphneids) 和 鼠 平 类 (arvicolids) 一 样 ,<br />
Pararhizomys 属 的 颊 齿 有 由 低 冠 到 高 冠 发<br />
展 的 趋 势 , 具 体 表 现 为 牙 齿 侧 面 釉 质 曲 线<br />
(dentine tract) 由 平 直 、 远 离 内 外 两 侧 谷<br />
底 到 起 伏 、 接 近 甚 至 超 过 内 外 两 侧 谷 底 。<br />
为 方 便 比 较 , 本 文 为 釉 质 曲 线 的 高 度 设 立<br />
“H” 指 数 , 即 从 每 侧 最 深 谷 的 谷 底 和 釉 质 曲<br />
线 的 最 高 处 取 平 行 于 冠 面 的 平 行 线 , 此 两<br />
平 行 线 之 间 的 垂 直 距 离 为 “H”。H 值 越 大 ,<br />
表 明 齿 冠 越 低 , 反 之 则 齿 冠 越 高 。 尽 管 目<br />
前 发 现 的 副 竹 鼠 标 本 不 多 , 但 似 乎 可 以 看<br />
到 从 早 期 到 晚 期 , 其 颊 齿 的 个 体 有 从 小 变<br />
大 , 釉 质 曲 线 高 度 H 值 逐 渐 减 小 , 即 齿 冠<br />
逐 渐 增 高 的 趋 势 。 由 于 Pararhizomys 的 牙<br />
齿 形 态 多 少 与 竹 鼠 类 的 低 冠 竹 鼠<br />
Brachyrhizomys 和 竹 鼠 属 Rhizomys 及 拟 速<br />
掘 鼠 属 Tachyoryctoides 有 相 似 之 处 , 故<br />
常 被 与 Brachyrhizomys 和 Rhizomys 一 起<br />
归 入 竹 鼠 科 (Rhizomyidae), 但 该 属 的 牙<br />
齿 不 具 中 脊 和 下 中 脊 , 褶 沟 少 , 一 般 为 2-3<br />
个 , 与 上 述 三 属 有 明 显 的 不 同 。 本 文 对 下<br />
门 齿 所 作 的 切 片 观 察 也 表 明 ,<br />
Pararbizomys 的 釉 质 层 结 构 与<br />
Brachyrhizomys , Rhizomys 和<br />
Tachyoryctoides 者 相 差 甚 远 , 其 内 层<br />
(PI) 明 显 增 厚 , 釉 柱 和 釉 柱 间 质 (IPM)<br />
的 排 列 方 式 存 在 明 显 差 别 .. 颊 齿 的 冠<br />
高 、 冠 面 形 态 , 以 及 下 门 齿 的 釉 质 层 结<br />
构 , 似 乎 都 表 明 了 Pararhizomys 属 不 大 可<br />
能 归 人 竹 鼠 科 或 速 掘 鼠 科<br />
(Tachyorictoididae)。 而 下 门 齿 釉 质 层 切<br />
片 显 示 了 Brachyrhizomys 与 Rhizomys 有<br />
着 高 度 相 似 的 釉 质 结 构 , 进 一 步 证 明 了 两<br />
者 有 较 接 近 的 亲 缘 关 系 。 地 理 分 布 上 ,<br />
Pararhizomys 与 Tachyoryctoides 属 只 发<br />
现 于 古 北 区 , 伴 生 的 哺 乳 动 物 显 示 了 其 可<br />
能 适 应 偏 冷 、 干 旱 的 草 原 环 境 , 而<br />
Brachyrhizomys 和 Rhizomys 主 要 局 限 于 东<br />
洋 区 , 共 生 的 哺 乳 动 物 多 能 适 应 温 暖 、 湿<br />
润 的 树 林 环 境 。<br />

和 亚 洲 的 Aksyiromys,Primisminthus,<br />
Allosminthus,Palasiomp 都 有 很 多 相 似 的<br />
特 征 , 预 示 着 它 们 可 能 有 共 同 的 祖 先 : 在<br />
牙 齿 形 态 上 ,Erlianomys 比 巾 始 新 世 的 其<br />
他 鼠 齿 类 更 为 原 始 , 可 表 明 其 产 出 层 位 即<br />
阿 山 头 组 下 部 的 时 代 要 早 于 中 始 新 世 , 可<br />
能 属 于 早 始 新 世 ; 其 形 态 更 接 近 亚 洲 的<br />
Aksyiromys , Primisminthus 和<br />
Allosminthus, 而 与 北 美 的 Elymys 相 差 较<br />
大 . 因 此 推 测 鼠 齿 类 的 共 同 祖 先 可 能 与<br />
Erlianomys 更 为 相 似 , 早 始 新 世 时 在 亚 洲<br />
起 源 , 向 其 他 大 陆 的 迁 移 扩 散 不 会 晚 于 早<br />
始 新 世 晚 期 .<br />

288(1-3): 1-52<br />
Mammalian fossils have been collected<br />
over several decades by teams associated with<br />
the Kenya National Museums from two sites<br />
in northwestern Kenya, Losodok and Benson's<br />
Site. Geological work in the area has determined<br />
that Losodok is Late Oligocene in age<br />
(BOSCHETTO et al. 1992); only one mammal<br />
from Losodok has been previously discussed<br />
in light of the age determinations, a catarrhine<br />
primate (LEAKEY et al. 1995). In this paper,<br />
we describe the rest of the mammals known<br />
from these sites, which proves to be a fauna<br />
consisting of at least 21 species in eight orders.<br />
Recent field work during the summer of 2007<br />
yielded more mammals from both of these<br />
sites; additional mammal localities were found<br />
near Benson's Site, prompting us to designate<br />
the new region Nakwai. Several mammalian<br />
species are shared between the Losodok sample<br />
and that from Nakwai, indicating that they<br />
are about the same age. The mammalian faunas<br />
are distinctly Oligocene in their taxonomic<br />
composition, consisting of African groups<br />
previously known from the Early Tertiary<br />
such as hyracoids, arsinoitheres, primitive<br />
proboscideans, thryonomyoid rodents,<br />
proviverrine and pterodontine creodonts, catarrhine<br />
primates, and anthracotheres. Immigrant<br />
mammals characteristic of the African<br />
Early Miocene are conspicuously absent except<br />
for a small true carnivore of the genus<br />
Mioprionodon, the earliest fossil record of<br />
Carnivora in Africa. We formally describe two<br />
new genera (Losodokodon,a proboscidean,<br />
and Mlanyama, a creodont), and 8 new species<br />
(of the genera Brachyhyrax, Tbyrobyrax,<br />
Meroebyrax, Diamantomys, Mioprionodon,<br />
and the two new genera). Several other species<br />
are informally described and discussed<br />
but not named in this paper, and we also make<br />
new comparisons regarding Kamoyapitbecus,<br />
the only species from Losodok previously<br />
named (LEAKEY et al. 1995). The new fauna<br />
is transitional between earlier Oligocene<br />
mammal faunas of Africa (known from Ethiopia,<br />
Egypt, and several other countries) and<br />
the Early Miocene faunas of East Africa. Several<br />
taxa are morphological intermediates, and<br />
potential phylogentic links, between early Tertiary<br />
forms and Miocene taxa; these include<br />
the proboscidean Losodokodon and the primate<br />
Kamoyapitbecus. Others represent the<br />
earliest record for African groups otherwise<br />
known in the Miocene (Brachyhyrax,<br />
Afrobyrax, Meroebyrax, Prodeinotberium,<br />
Diamantomys). Still others represent the latest<br />
occurrence of taxa previously known from the<br />
Early Tertiary (pachyhyracine hyracoids, Tbyrobyrax,<br />
Arsinoitberium). All taxa in the fauna<br />
represent forms that could have evolved in situ<br />
in Africa except for the new species of Mioprionodon,<br />
which is an immigrant from the<br />
north. The new discoveries highlight the fact<br />
that the faunal transition between archaic endemic<br />
mammals of the Early Tertiary and the<br />
more modern Neogene faunas occurred during<br />
143
a very short time interval at or near the Oligocene-Miocene<br />
boundary. We discuss the nature<br />
and importance of this transition, which<br />
we designate the African Mid-Tertiary Event<br />
(AMTE).<br />

Abt.A, 2009, 288(1-3): 53-91<br />
An uncompressed cranium of a member of<br />
the basal order Apatotheria is described as<br />
Carcinella sigei n. gen. n. sp. It was found in<br />
the "Phosphorites du Quercy" and is probably<br />
late Eocene in age. The small or missing hypocone<br />
on the upper molars indicates a lineage<br />
independent from Heterobyus, the only genus<br />
so far known from the middle and upper Eocene<br />
of Europe. Micro-CT scans provide detailed<br />
insight into the nasal cavity and ear region.<br />
The turbinals are similar to those of<br />
other macrosmatic small mammals. The cochlea<br />
of the inner ear shows ca. 2 turns and is<br />
similar to those of many other small mammals.<br />
The posterolateral corner of the cranium<br />
formed by the mastoid exposure of the petrosaly<br />
is pronounced. The relative size of the<br />
brain of Carcinella sigei, with an encephalization<br />
residual, ER, of about 0, was equivalent<br />
to that expected for an average living terrestrial<br />
mammals and thus, larger than that of<br />
most contemporary mammals. Most characteristics<br />
of the cranium of Carcinella sigei n. gen.<br />
n. sp. are generalized for mammals and presumably<br />
primitive. The enlarged anterior incisors<br />
are certainly derived characteristics that,<br />
together with elongated fingers (known from<br />
skeletal finds), are related to a specific life<br />
style: arboreal predators on wood-boring insect<br />
larvae. The relatively few derived characteristics<br />
shared with other mammals are little<br />
help in identifying the sister group of Apatemyidae<br />
or in clarifying relationships to other<br />
basal placental mammals.<br />

The fragmented pathological skull of a<br />
young child was discovered in a Magdalenian<br />
level in the Rochereil cave, Dordogne, France,<br />
in 1939. The bony fragments were extracted<br />
along with the surrounding soil, and completely<br />
cleaned in a laboratory. The mandible<br />
has been wrongly reconstructed. Among the<br />
nine teeth that are present on the mandible,<br />
three deciduous molars are human teeth at<br />
their correct places. Only one tooth in the incisor–canine<br />
block (the right deciduous lateral<br />
incisor) is a human tooth, but it is incorrectly<br />
positioned on the left side. The other incisors<br />
and canines implanted in this child's mandible<br />
originated from one or several young adult<br />
reindeer. These small animal teeth were<br />
probably mistaken for human pathological<br />
teeth because the child's skull and mandible<br />
showed several pathological lesions. The possibility<br />
of faulty reconstitution must be systematically<br />
considered when dealing with for<br />
all human fossils which have been discovered<br />
in the past.<br />

Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2009, 8(5): 481-492<br />
Previous research in the Republic of Djibouti<br />
resulted in two notable Paleolithic findings:<br />
the Oldowan elephant butchery site of<br />
Barogali, excavated by J. Chavaillon and A.<br />
Berthelet, and a Homo erectus/sapiens maxilla<br />
described by L. de Bonis et al. These discoveries<br />
were made in the 1980s, and no paleoanthropological<br />
surveys have been conducted in<br />
Djibouti in the following decades. In 2007, the<br />
Mission archéologique et paléontologique<br />
Afar Djibouti (MAPAD) carried out a new<br />
survey of the Gobaad Basin and discovered<br />
several new archaeological and paleontological<br />
sites attributed to the Lower Paleolithic.<br />
Three sites in particular contain rich concentrations<br />
of lithic artifacts on the surface that,<br />
based on field examination, can be attributed<br />
to the Oldowan. Of these, the site of Chekheyti<br />
Issie 3 (CKI-3) is the largest, comprising<br />
a surface of well over 100 m 2 of abundant Oldowan<br />
lithics in spatial association with fossil<br />
hippopotamus remains. The presence of lithic<br />
refits, identified in an ad hoc fashion in the<br />
field, suggests that the site was minimally disturbed.<br />
Further excavation and analysis of<br />
CKI-3 should provide insight into carcass acquisition<br />
and processing by early hominids.<br />
More generally, the newly discovered sites in<br />
the Gobaad Basin will allow for the testing of<br />
a range of hypotheses regarding both local and<br />
regional variation in hominid technology, behavior,<br />
and subsistence strategies in the Lower<br />
Pleistocene.<br />

The site of Les Auzières 2 (Méthamis, Vaucluse)<br />
was excavated from 2001 to 2005. It<br />
yielded an original and diverse fauna, unique<br />
in southeastern France (Provence). The spectrum<br />
of large mammals comprises 14 species<br />
including hyena, horse, ibex, woolly rhinoceros,<br />
giant deer and mammoth. Lithic artifacts<br />
are rare but testify to the presence of a Mousterian<br />
industry. All of these remains derive<br />
from layers that have been dated to 60 ± 10 ka<br />
by ESR/U-series method. Les Auzières 2 is of<br />
special importance for examining the issue of<br />
human/carnivore interaction in the Pleistocene<br />
since it has yielded a large assemblage of carnivore<br />
remains, and probably represents a<br />
hyena den. The diverse fauna offers a more<br />
comprehensive picture of Upper Pleistocene<br />
biodiversity in southeastern France than that<br />
usually provided by sites with a stronger anthropogenic<br />
signal.<br />

drainage sediments, Gotene, Sweden. ( 英 文 ).<br />
Johnson M D; Stahl Y; Larsson O; Seger S.<br />
GFF, 2010, 132(1): 1-12<br />
New exposures created during the construction<br />
of highway E20 near Gotene, Sweden,<br />
reveal poorly sorted gravelly sand overlain<br />
and underlain by varved clay. The stratigraphy<br />
at Pellagarden consists of, from the bottom up,<br />
striated gneiss, till, varved marine clay, the<br />
gravelly sand unit, and varved marine clay.<br />
The varves represent deglacial marine sediment<br />
deposited in 40-50 m deep water. The<br />
gravelly sand unit contains graded bedding,<br />
indistinct horizontal bedding, mud clasts and<br />
interstitial mud. It is poorly sorted and poorly<br />
organised. The unit has a pebble fabric indicating<br />
flow to the northwest. These characteristics<br />
and the great water depth suggest that<br />
the gravelly sand was deposited from a hyperconcentrated<br />
traction current or from concentrated<br />
to hyperconcentrated density flows. We<br />
interpret the gravelly sand bed to be sediment<br />
deposited during the Baltic Ice Lake drainage<br />
at around 10,000 14C years BP. The unit<br />
likely represents rapidly deposited sediment at<br />
the very start of the drainage and does not indicate<br />
the duration of the drainage event. The<br />
bed was deposited during a single drainage<br />
event rather than as a series of events over a<br />
few weeks or months. Based on the number of<br />
varves and regional ice retreat rates, the icemargin<br />
was 0.2 to 5km north of Gotene at the<br />
time of the drainage. These sites represent the<br />
first reported occurrences of the drainage<br />
sediment in a stratigraphic sequence since the<br />
work of Simon Johansson (1926, 1937, and<br />
1941).<br />

The conditions necessary for the existence<br />
of nucleic-protein life are as follows: the presence<br />
of liquid water, an atmosphere, and a<br />
magnetic field (all of which protect from meteorites,<br />
abrupt changes in temperature, and a<br />
flow of charged particles from space) and the<br />
availability of nutrients (macro-and microelements<br />
in the form of dissolved compounds). In<br />
the evolution of the geosphere, complex interference<br />
of irreversible processes (general cooling,<br />
gravitational differentiation of the Earth’s<br />
interior, dissipation of hydrogen, etc.) with<br />
cyclic processes of varying natures and periodicities<br />
(from the endogenic cycles “from<br />
Pangea to Pangea” to Milankovitch cycles),<br />
these conditions have repeatedly changed;<br />
hence, in the coevolution of the geosphere and<br />
biosphere, the vector of irreversible evolution<br />
was determined by the geosphere. Only with<br />
the appearance of the ocean as a global system<br />
of homeostasis, which provided the maintenance<br />
and leveling of nutrient concentrations<br />
in the hydrosphere, and the conveyor of nutrients<br />
from the mantle, “the film of life” could<br />
begin its expansion from the source of the nutrients.<br />
Life itself is a system of homeostasis,<br />
but not due to the global size and a vast buffer<br />
capacity, but because of the high rate of reactions<br />
and presence of a program (genome) that<br />
allowed its development (ontogeny) independent<br />
from the outside environment. The<br />
early stages of the origin and evolution of the<br />
biosphere (from the RNA-world to the development<br />
of the prokaryotic ecosystems) were<br />
characterized by the domination of chemotrophic<br />
ecosystems. The geographical ranges of<br />
these ecosystems were directly or indirectly<br />
(through the atmosphere and hydrosphere) tied<br />
to the sources of nutrients in the geosphere,<br />
which were in turn connected to various<br />
sources of volcanic and geotectonic activity<br />
(geothermal waters, “black smokers” along<br />
the rift zones, etc.). This gave the biosphere<br />
consisting of chemotrophic ecosystems a mosaic<br />
appearance composed of separate local<br />
oases of life. The decrease of methane and<br />
accumulation of O 2 in the atmosphere in the<br />
geological evolution of the Earth caused the<br />
extinction of chemotrophic ecosystems and<br />
directed evolution of the biosphere toward<br />
autotrophy. Autotrophic photosynthesis gave<br />
the biosphere an energy source that was not<br />
connected to the geosphere, and for the first<br />
time allowed its liberation from the geosphere<br />
by developing its own vector of evolution.<br />
This vector resulted in the biosphere forming a<br />
continuous film of life on the planet by capturing<br />
the continents and occupying pelagic and<br />
abyssal zones, and the appearance of eukaryotes.<br />
The geosphere formed biogeochemical<br />
cycles in parallel to the geochemical ones, and<br />
comparable in the annual balances of participating<br />
matter.<br />

Evolution of the prokaryotic biosphere is<br />
regarded from the system point of view. It<br />
starts with the appearance of the first organisms,<br />
the ∼3.5 Ga date forming the boundary<br />
between the observed and imagined biosphere.<br />
The prokaryotic community dominated from<br />
the Archean to the Mesoproterozoic. Prokaryotes<br />
make a sustainable community due to<br />
the cooperative action of specialized forms.<br />
The main route for establishing a community<br />
is made by trophic links. The structure of the<br />
trophic links in the prokaryotic community<br />
making a trophic network is an invariant, with<br />
secondary adaptive deviations. Material balance<br />
is the ultimate requirement for a long<br />
living self-supporting system. The system of<br />
biogeospheric cycles is dictated by the constancy<br />
of biomass composition establishing a<br />
quantitative ratio between C org :N org :P org . Biospheric<br />
processes are driven by the C org -cycle.<br />
Carbon assimilation is limited by the size of<br />
the illuminated moist surface populated by<br />
producers, meaning that C org -production remains<br />
within an order of magnitude of 10 2<br />
Gt/yr. Evolution of primary producers forms a<br />
basis for the evolution of the biosphericgeospheric<br />
system, and cyanobacteria integrated<br />
as chloroplasts remain its driving force.<br />
Decomposition of organic compounds is performed<br />
by organotrophic destructors, anacrobic<br />
being less effective. Destructors determine<br />
the residual C org accumulation. Recalcitrant<br />
C org remaining in the sedimentary record is<br />
equilibrated by O 2 and other oxidized compounds<br />
as Fe-oxides or sulfates. Geospheric<br />
and biotic interactions include both direct and<br />
biotically mediated processes; the most important<br />
is the weathering-sedimentation pathway.<br />
Prokaryotic community makes a sustainable<br />
frame into which all other more complex<br />
forms of life fit. That makes the prokaryotic<br />
biosphere a permanent essence of the whole<br />
system. New participants might come in and<br />
substitute functional components only when<br />
they fit to the existing system. The evolution<br />
of a large system is additive rather than substitutive.<br />
The message of this is; “we all originated<br />
from the cyanobacterial community.”<br />

of the Pprecambrian non-stromatolitic<br />
carbonate succession making up the third<br />

Formation in Yanshan area of north China.<br />
( 英 文 ). Mei M X. Journal of China university<br />

A particular non-stromatolitic carbonate<br />
succession making up the third member of the<br />
Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation<br />
might demonstrate that a stromatolite decline<br />
of the Mesoproterozoic occurring at ca. 1 450<br />
Ma besides other three events of the Proterozoic,<br />
respectively, occurred at ca. 2 000 Ma,<br />
ca. 1 000 Ma, and ca. 675 Ma. The forming<br />
duration of this non-stromatolitic carbonate<br />
succession can be generally correlative to that<br />
of a similar depositional succession in North<br />
America, i.e. a non-stromatolitic carbonate<br />
succession made up by the Helena Formation<br />
of the Belt Supergroup, which suggests that<br />
the stromatolite decline occurring at ca. 1450<br />
Ma may be a global event. This information<br />
endows the non-stromatolitic carbonate succession<br />
making up the third member of the<br />
Gaoyuzhuang Formation in the Yanshan area<br />
with important significance for the further understanding<br />
of Precambrian sedimentology.<br />
The Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation<br />
in Yanshan area is a set of more than<br />
1000 m thick carbonate strata that can be divided<br />
into four members (or subformations).<br />
The first member (or the Guandi subformation)<br />
is marked by a set of stromatolitic dolomites<br />
overlying a set of transgressive sandstones;<br />
the second member (or the Sangshu'an subformation)<br />
is a set of manganese dolomites<br />
with a few stromatolites; the third member (or<br />
the Zhangjiayu subformation) is chiefly made<br />
up of leiolite and laminite limestones and is<br />
characterized by the development of molartooth<br />
structures in leiolite limestone; the<br />
fourth member (or the Huanxiusi subformation)<br />
is composed of a set of dolomites of<br />
stromatolitic reefs or lithoherms. Sequencestratigraphic<br />
divisions at two sections, i.e. the<br />
147
Jixian Section in Tianjin and the Qiangou Section<br />
of Yanqing County in Beijing, demonstrate<br />
that a particularly non-stromatolitic succession<br />
making up the third member of the<br />
Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation is<br />
developed in the Yanshan area of North China,<br />
in which lots of grotesque matground structures<br />
(wrinkle structures and palimpsest ripples)<br />
are developed in beds of leiolite limestone<br />
at the Qiangou Section and lots,of molar-tooth<br />
structures are developed in beds of<br />
leiolite limestone at the Jixian Section. The<br />
time scale of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation is<br />
deduced as 200 Ma (from 1600 Ma to 1400<br />
Ma). The duration of an obvious hiatus between<br />
the Gaoyuzhuang Formation and the<br />
underlying Dahongyu Formation is deduced as<br />
50 Ma to 100 Ma, thus the forming duration of<br />
the Gaoyuzhuang Formation is thought as 100<br />
Ma (1 500 Ma to 1 400 Ma). Furthermore, the<br />
age of the subface of the third member of the<br />
Gaoyuzhuang Formation that is just in the mid<br />
position of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation can<br />
be deduced as about 1450 Ma, which is the<br />
basis to infer a stromatolite decline of the<br />
Mesoproterozoic occurring at ca. 1 450 Ma.<br />
Importantly, several features of both the molar-tooth<br />
structure and the stromatolite, such<br />
as the particular forming environment, the important<br />
facies-indicative meaning, and the episodic<br />
distribution in the earth history, might<br />
express the evolutionary periodicity of the<br />
surface environment of the earth and can provide<br />
meaningful clues for the understanding of<br />
the Precambrian world, although their origin<br />
and forming mechanism is highly contentious.<br />
Therefore, like other three stromatolitic declines,<br />
respectively, occurring at ca. 675 Ma,<br />
ca. 1 000 Ma, and ca. 2 000 Ma, the identification<br />
of the stromatolite decline occurring at ca.<br />
1450 Ma during the Golden Age of stromatolites<br />
(2 800 Ma to 1000 Ma) has important<br />
meaning for the further understading of the<br />
evolving carbonate world of the Precambrian.<br />

A new model of the distribution of Proterozoic<br />
microorganisms is developed, based on<br />
studies of Riphean and Vendian silicified and<br />
organic-walled microfossils from the reference<br />
sections of northern Eurasia, and on their<br />
comparison with other known microfossil assemblages.<br />
Within the interval from 2.0 to<br />
0.535 Ga, seven successive informal global<br />
microphytological units (referred to as proterohorizons)<br />
are determined: (1) Labradorian<br />
proterohorizon occupies the upper part of the<br />
Lower Proterozoic (Paleoproterozoic), 2.0–<br />
1.65 Ga; (2) Anabarian proterohorizon, Lower<br />
Riphean-lower Middle Riphean (lower and<br />
middle Mesoproterozoic), 1.65–1.2 Ga; (3)<br />
Turukhanian proterohorizon, upper Middle<br />
Riphean (upper Mesoproterozoic), 1.2–1.03<br />
Ga; (4) Uchuromayan proterohorizon, lower<br />
Upper Riphean (lower Neoproterozoic), 1.03–<br />
0.85 Ga; (5) Yuzhnouralian proterohorizon,<br />
upper Upper Riphean (upper Neoproterozoic<br />
without Ediacaran); (6) Amadeusian proterohorizon,<br />
Lower Vendian (Ediacaran), 0.6–0.55<br />
Ga; and (7) Belomoryan proterohorizon, Upper<br />
Vendian (Ediacaran), 0.55–0.535 Ga.<br />

Ion-microprobe U-Pb geochronological data<br />
of zircon grains from three Mesoproterozoic<br />
deformed granite plutons in the Western and<br />
Median Segments of the Sveconorwegian<br />
Province, SW Sweden give intrusion ages of<br />
1336 +/- 10 Ma for the Askim Granite, 1311<br />
+/- 8 Ma for the Karra Granite and >= 1304<br />
+/- 6 Ma for the Gota Granite. In addition,<br />
oscillatory zoned zircon grains in a pegmatite<br />
dyke in the Karra Granite were dated at 1325<br />
+/- 8 Ma, i.e. identical within analytical uncertainty<br />
with the age of the host granite. The<br />
zircon grains from the pegmatite are interpreted<br />
as xenocrysts from the Karra Granite.<br />
The plutons are part of a 1.34-1.30 Ga bimodal<br />
magmatic suite which we call the<br />
Kungsbacka Bimodal Suite, forming a N-S<br />
trending linear belt from Kungsbacka in the<br />
south to Trollhattan in the north. Other possible<br />
members are the 1.32 Ga Ursand Granite,<br />
the 1.33 Ga Hastefjorden Granite, the 1.31 Ga<br />
Veddige Augen gneiss, the 1.33 Ga Stravalla<br />
Augen gneiss and the 1.33 Ga Chalmers Mafic<br />
Intrusion. The suite probably formed in a continental<br />
rift environment. This study demonstrates<br />
that the Kungsbacka Bimodal Suite,<br />
which is restricted to the Western and Median<br />
Segments, is younger than the 1.38 Ga Tjarnesjo<br />
and Torpa Granites in the Eastern Segment<br />
of the Sveconorwegian Province. This<br />
148
difference indicates that the Mylonite Zone<br />
may be interpreted as a first order Sveconorwegian<br />
tectonic boundary, separating crustal<br />
segments with distinct pre-Sveconorwegian<br />
histories. Metamorphic overgrowths on zircons<br />
from the Karra pegmatite are dated at<br />
1043 +/- 11 Ma and confirm the age of Sveconorwegian<br />
metamorphism at 1.04 Ga in the<br />
Western Segment. This study also documents<br />
the occurrence of post-1.3 Ga penetrative deformation<br />
and high-grade metamorphism including<br />
partial melting in the Western and<br />
Median Segments. It also proves that in some<br />
areas it is impossible to distinguish post-<br />
Gothian from older units, based only on their<br />
degree of deformation.<br />

Ages of detrital zircons, derived from Palaeoproterozoic<br />
metasedimentary rocks from<br />
Finland and Sweden are poorly represented in<br />
the presently exposed crust in the Baltic<br />
Shield. This study reports U-Pb ages of detrital<br />
zircons from the Svecofennian Vastervik<br />
Basin. 41 spots from 31 zircon crystals were<br />
dated using U-Pb geochronology at the<br />
NORDSIM ion microprobe in Stockholm.<br />
Most analyses are concordant and the zircon<br />
grains commonly display well-developed<br />
magmatic oscillatory zoning. The ages documented<br />
are: &SIM; 3.64 Ga, 3.03-2.95 Ga,<br />
2.72-2.69 Ga, 2.12-1.87 Ga and 1.84 Ga. 75%<br />
of the grains are Palaeoproterozoic and 25%<br />
are Archaean. Ages gained from Proterozoic<br />
metasediments in Sweden, Finland, Svalbard,<br />
Greenland and Great Britain also report a<br />
large proportion of &SIM; 2.1-1.9 Ga and a<br />
smaller proportion of Archaean zircons with<br />
ages around 2.7 and 3 Ga. These age groups<br />
probably represent major crust forming events.<br />
The here presented results provide an estimate<br />
of the time of deposition in the Vastervik Basin<br />
for the time interval of 1882-1850 Ma,<br />
constrained by two concordant zircon analyses<br />
of 1872 &PLUSMN; 24 and 1870 &PLUSMN;<br />
12 Ma, and the newly presented 1859<br />
&PLUSMN; 9 Ma age for the Loftahammar<br />
granite that intrudes the metasedimentary succession<br />
in the north. The young detrital zircon<br />
age of 1837 &PLUSMN; 22 Ma might suggest<br />
that parts of the basin may be younger. As<br />
input of detrital grains may occur from several<br />
sources simultaneously (e.g. by rivers and by<br />
tidal currents from a marine source), the detrital<br />
grains were sampled from different depositional<br />
environments. Main fluvial sediment<br />
transport in the Vastervik Basin was from present<br />
north whereas the tidal sediment transport<br />
was from the present south. The age groups<br />
documented in the Vastervik Basin are poorly<br />
represented in the presently exposed crust in<br />
the Baltic Shield, but are represented in Sarmatia.<br />

The chronostratigraphical aspects of four<br />
Iberian non-trilobite and non-archaeocyathan<br />
associations and the record of two separate<br />
fossil occurrences are discussed. These fossils<br />
are Cloudina and Platysolenites. The associations<br />
have been defined as the Anabarella-<br />
Aldanella, Arthropoda -Tannuolina-<br />
Latouchella, Alanis Fauna, and Hadimopanella-Archiasterella<br />
assemblages, They comprise<br />
a time span from the late Vendian to the<br />
early Middle Cambrian. The existence of upper<br />
Vendian associations in the Rio Huso and<br />
Ibor groups outcropping through Central<br />
Iberia is indicated by the presence of Cloudina.<br />
Its biostratigraphic overlapping with vendotaenids<br />
and Sabellidites may correlate it with<br />
the Sabellidites-Vendotaenia assemblage. In<br />
the upper member of the Rio Huso group<br />
(Valdelacasa Anticline) and Upper Alcudian<br />
strata (Alcudia Valley) the Anabarella-<br />
Aldanella association has been found. It may<br />
belong to the middle-upper Tommotian in the<br />
Siberian Platform and Mongolia and also with<br />
the upper Alcudian in Iberia. In the Sierra de<br />
Cordoba area, Southern Spain, an Arthropoda-<br />
Tannuolina-Latouchella association has been<br />
found in the Pedroche Formation, which has<br />
been correlated with the late Tommotian to<br />
early Atdabanian, based on problematical taxa,<br />
archaeocyathid and trilobite stratigraphy.<br />
Based on its trilobite associations, a middle<br />
Marianian age for the Alanis Fauna and Platysolenites<br />
antiquissimus Eichwald, 1860 is established.<br />
The youngest association, the<br />
149
Hadimopanella-Archiasterella association, has<br />
been found in the lower pan of the Lancara<br />
Formation of the Cantabrian Ranges. Owing<br />
to a diachronism, there are only some localities<br />
where the griotte member starts in the<br />
Eoparadoxides mureroensis Zone. However.<br />
green glauconitic limestones, probably formed<br />
during a sedimentary condensation, yield<br />
Hadimopanella, so it could appear at the beginning<br />
of the Eoparadoxides mureroensis<br />
Zone or at the end of the Bilbilian.<br />

122(4): 377-383<br />
A single zircon grain dated by ion probe<br />
with a minimum age of 3432+/-30 Ma was<br />
found in a microgranite dyke, which cuts<br />
norite of 916+/-11 Ma Hakefjorden Complex<br />
at Algon on the Swedish west coast north of<br />
Gothenburg. Zircons are a rare accessory mineral<br />
in this dyke. They could be classified by<br />
morphology as orthocrysts and xenocrysts.<br />
Data from four orthocrysts show that the dyke<br />
originated between 911+/-14 and 916+/-11<br />
Ma, and was probably derived from the Hakefjorden<br />
Complex contact migmatite. Eight of<br />
the dated grains are xenocrysts, probably derived<br />
from the Stora Le-Marstrand Formation.<br />
They have Pb-207-Pb-206 minimum ages<br />
from c.1451 to 3432+/-6 Ma, and the oldest<br />
grain has a probable age of 3457+/-10 Ma,<br />
derived from a discordia regression, with<br />
445+/-38 Ma lower intercept reflecting Phanerozoic<br />
lead loss. This grain is the oldest yet<br />
dated in Scandinavia. Together with six >1750<br />
Ma zircon grains in both this sample and a<br />
related Stora Le-Marstrand-derived sample, it<br />
casts doubt on the prevailing model of incremental<br />
crustal growth in Scandinavia, southwestwards<br />
from an Archaean core in the<br />
northeast of the Baltic Shield. These old ages,<br />
together with published Sm-Nd data, also contradict<br />
the proposed origin of the Stora Le-<br />
Marstrand Formation in an isolated oceanic<br />
island are setting. It is more likely that it<br />
formed on the eastern tin present-day terms)<br />
margin of an Archaean continent, which did<br />
not join Baltica till the Sveconorwegian orogenic<br />

A minor massif of approximately 2700 Ma<br />
Archaean granodiorite and tonalite is exposed<br />
in a Svecofennian environment at Vallen-<br />
Alhamn, near to the Archaean-Proterozoic<br />
Palaeoboundary in northern Sweden. Close to<br />
this massif occur conglomerate-like rocks (in<br />
part interpreted as a magmatic, hydraulic<br />
breccia) with fragments of Palaeoproterozoic<br />
metavolcanites and granitoids as well as of the<br />
Archaean granitoids. The present work comprises<br />
dating of the granitoids of the massif, c.<br />
2700 and 1900 Ma granitoid fragments in two<br />
occurrences of conglomerate-like rocks, and<br />
the volcanogenic matrix of one of the conglomerate-like<br />
rocks. The age of igneouslooking<br />
zircons in the matrix (1871 +/- 2 Ma)<br />
is interpreted to be close to the time of formation<br />
of the conglomerate-like rock, and points<br />
to an Upper Svecofennian stratigraphic position.<br />
The bedrock of the Vallen-Alhamn area<br />
is thus a unique example of Archaean rocks in<br />
close geographic association with Upper Svecofennian<br />
supracrustal or shallow-level intrusive<br />
rocks.<br />

The multivariate statistical analysis of<br />
chemical data in petrology and geochemistry<br />
entails principles that are little known among<br />
geological practitioners. Such data are compositional,<br />
and hence, lie in a sub-space of full<br />
space, the simplex. The concept of productmoment<br />
correlation of full space cannot be<br />
validly applied to them, because of the subcompositional<br />
incoherency of that statistic in<br />
the simplex. A second type of problem concerns<br />
the stability of multivariate estimates.<br />
Appropriate techniques, such as principal<br />
component cross-validation, are discussed exemplified<br />
and contrasted with inappropriate<br />
procedures using geochemical data on Swedish<br />
Proterozoic dyke swarms. Essential features<br />
of compositional covariance structure are<br />

New U-Pb age data on two early orogenic<br />
granodiorites (ca. 1930 Ma) and one felsic<br />
metavolcanite (1870 Ma) from the Svecofennian<br />
Bothnian Basin area of central Sweden<br />
are presented. Combined with literature data<br />
they suggest an extended, at least ca. 80 m.y.<br />
long, evolution of this part of the Bothnian<br />
Basin. Sedimentation started before 1950 Ma,<br />
and continued up to at least 1870 Ma. Earlyorogenic<br />
plutonic activity started at ca. 1950<br />
Ma, perhaps even earlier, and continued up to<br />
ca. 1850-1840 Ma. Detrital zircons found in<br />
low-grade greywackes of the region range in<br />
age from ca. 1880 to 2020 Ma. According to<br />
the tentative model suggested here, these zircons<br />
may emanate from granitoids intruded<br />
into the greywacke sequence of the Bothnian<br />
Basin. They were subsequently exposed to<br />
erosion and included in upper parts of the<br />
sedimentary column. These upper parts could<br />
(statistically) be of a lower metamorphic grade<br />
than older greywackes, which are generally<br />
migmatized.<br />

A belt of Palaeoproterozoic, dominantly<br />
felsic metavolcanic rocks occurs in southcentral<br />
Sweden. The volcanic rocks comprise<br />
volcaniclastics, lavas and subvolcanic intrusions.<br />
The volcanic pile is more than 8 km<br />
thick and overlies an unexposed basement.<br />
Two new U-Pb zircon age determinations<br />
provide precise control on the age of stratigraphically<br />
and volcanologically wellconstrained<br />
volcanic rocks in the belt. One age<br />
determination from a pyroclastic flow deposit<br />
at Uta in the easternmost part of the volcanic<br />
belt yielded an age of 1904+/-4 Ma. Stratigraphic<br />
and depositional facies analyses show<br />
that this rock marks the onset of volcanism in<br />
the area. The igneous activity was coeval with<br />
a change from deep water sedimentation to<br />
shallow water and subaerial sedimentation in a<br />
broadly continental setting. Another determination<br />
of zircons from a similar pyroclastic<br />
flow deposit at the lowest known stratigraphic<br />
level east of Hallefors in W. Bergslagen in the<br />
westernmost part of the volcanic belt gave an<br />
age of 1891+/-4 Ma. This age is consistent<br />
with previously published ages for metavolcanic<br />
rocks in W. Bergslagen. The age of the<br />
onset of volcanism in W. Bergslagen is not<br />
possible to determine because the lowermost<br />
sections of all known volcanic successions are<br />
truncated by intrusive rocks. Consequently, it<br />
is unknown whether volcanism also commenced<br />
around 1904 Ma in the western part of<br />
the region, or if it commenced later, just prior<br />
to 1891 Ma. The duration of volcanism also<br />
remains to be constrained.<br />

Impact ejecta layers in four formations in<br />
the Hamersley Basin (Western Australia) and<br />
in one formation from the Transvaal Supergroup<br />
(South Africa) show striking evidence<br />
for impact-related reworking. Each layer contains<br />
sand-sized spherules of a former silicate<br />
melt that resemble those found in welldocumented<br />
impact layers. Given available<br />
isotopic age dates of associated strata and uncertainties<br />
in stratigraphic correlation, these<br />
layers represent a minimum of three and a<br />
maximum of five impacts between ca. 2.49<br />
and 2.63 Ga. All of these layers were deposited<br />
below wave base in deep-shelf environments,<br />
yet they show a common suite of sedimentary<br />
features indicating deposition and<br />
reworking under high-energy conditions.<br />
These features occur in a consistent order: (1)<br />
extensive erosion, including the transport of<br />
meter-scale rip-up clasts, (2) reworking by<br />
waves, (3) synwave to postwave offshoredirected<br />
bottom return flow, and (4) later reworking<br />
by sediment gravity flows. We interpret<br />
the consistent association of erosion,<br />
wave reworking, and bottom return flow as a<br />
result of tsunami triggered by the impact. The<br />
sediment gravity flows may have been triggered<br />
by impact or may occur much later. The<br />
151
wave features in these layers indicate they are<br />
the result of oceanic impacts, and their sedimentological<br />
similarities suggest a consistent<br />
set of depositional processes that can be used<br />
to recognize the distal ejecta layers of marine<br />
impacts, particularly those deposited in deepshelf<br />
settings. Given the relatively rapid tectonic<br />
recycling of oceanic crust, such layers<br />
probably constitute our best source of information<br />
on the frequency and effects of large<br />
impacts in open-ocean basins.<br />

The Yangtze Platform preserves relatively<br />
thick carbonate successions and excellent fossil<br />
records across the Ediacaran-Cambrian<br />
boundary interval. The intensely studied Meishucun<br />
section in East Yunnan was one of the<br />
Global Stratotype Section candidates for the<br />
Precambrian-Cambrian boundary. However,<br />
depositional breaks were Suspected in the section<br />
and the first appearance of small shelly<br />
fossils could not be verified. The Laolin section<br />
located in NE Yunnan is more Continuous<br />
and shows great potential for global correlation<br />
of carbon isotope features across the<br />
Precambrian-Cambrian boundary However,<br />
the stratigraphic framework and correlations<br />
were controversial. We Studied and systematically<br />
sampled the Laolin section and present<br />
here new carbon isotope data for this section.<br />
The Laolin section consists of, in ascending<br />
order, the Baiyanshao dolostone of the<br />
Dengying Formation, the Daibu siliceous<br />
dolostone, Zhongyicun dolomitic phosphorite,<br />
lower Dahai dolostone and upper Dahai limestone<br />
of the Zhujiaqing Formation, and the<br />
black siltstone of the Shiyantou Formation.<br />
Our data reveal a large negative delta C-13<br />
excursion (-7.2 parts per thousand, L1') in the<br />
Daibu Member, which matches the previously<br />
published data for the Laolin section, and a<br />
large positive excursion (+3.5 parts per thousand,<br />
L4) in the Dahai Member, which was<br />
not shown in the published data. The excursion<br />
L1' correlates well with the similarly<br />
large negative excursion near the first appearance<br />
of small shelly fossils in Siberia and<br />
Mongolia. Similar magnitude, excursions are<br />
also known from Morocco and Oman, for<br />
which there are no robust fossil constraints but<br />
from where volcanic ash beds have been dated<br />
precisely at 542 Ma, thus confirming a global<br />
biogeochemical event near the Ediacaran-<br />
Cambrian boundary. Our data also indicate<br />
that deposition was more continuous at the<br />
Laolin section compared with the Meishucun<br />
section, where there are no records of a com-<br />
152
parable negative excursion near the Ediacaran-<br />
Cambrian boundary, nor any comparable positive<br />
excursion ill the Dahai Member. Therefore,<br />
the Laolin section has proven potential to<br />
be a supplementary Global Stratotype Section<br />
for the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary on the<br />
Yangtze Platform.<br />

Carbon-isotope analyses of fossil wood<br />
from the Middle Jurassic Ravenscar Group,<br />
Yorkshire, NE England, reveal a significant<br />
excursion toward light isotopic values<br />
(delta(13)C change of -3 to -4%) at about the<br />
Aalenian-Bajocian boundary (similar to174<br />
Ma). A positive carbon isotopic excursion is<br />
also shown for the middle Bajocian (similar<br />
to170 Ma) but is less clearly defined. These<br />
isotopic patterns are very similar to the few<br />
published marine carbonate records available<br />
for this time, in particular one based on belemnites<br />
from the Hebrides basin, NW Scotland,<br />
and others from pelagic limestones in<br />
Italy. The similarity of the terrestrial and marine<br />
isotope curves is an indication that the<br />
observed isotopic signal is a global phenomenon.<br />
Through parts of the Ravenscar Group<br />
( the Scarborough Formation), supplementary<br />
data from bulk organic carbon and palynofacies<br />
analysis confirm that isotopic curves<br />
based on bulk analyses may be strongly influenced<br />
by the balance of terrestrial versus marine<br />
organic matter present in the samples.<br />
The negative isotope excursion at the<br />
Aalenian-Bajocian boundary marks a change<br />
from charcoal to coal as the dominant preservational<br />
mode of the macroscopic wood fossils,<br />
which is interpreted here as a shift to a<br />
more continuously humid climate in the Early<br />
Bajocian. Upsection, charcoal once again becomes<br />
common, reflecting a return to more<br />
fire-prone ( presumably seasonally arid) environments<br />
in the middle Bajocian. Paradoxically,<br />
floral assemblages associated with the<br />
lithological unit in which the negative excursion<br />
occurs display characteristics that would<br />
normally be interpreted as adaptations to water<br />
stress brought about by relative aridity or<br />
salinity. Preliminary analyses of leaf stomatal<br />
densities show some evidence of raised pCO(2)<br />
relative to background values at about the<br />
level of the negative excursion.<br />

Paleoenvironmental changes in the upper<br />
Middle Miocene Central Parathetys were reconstructed<br />
by using qualitative and quantitative<br />
palaeontological analyses of foraminifera<br />
and ostracods, coupled with trace elemental<br />
(Mg/Ca) and stable isotope (delta O-18 and<br />
delta C-13) analyses of their carbonate skeletons<br />
and of gastropod sheets. Mean annual air<br />
temperatures were estimated using the oxygen<br />
isotope composition of contemporaneous rodent<br />
teeth. The studied aquatic fossils come<br />
from two boreholes in the Zsambek basin<br />
(northern central Hungary), while the terres-<br />
153
trial ones are from localities in NE Hungary<br />
and E Romania. In the studied Sarmatian successions,<br />
three zones could be distinguished,<br />
based on palaeontological and geochemical<br />
results. At the Badenian/Sarmatian boundary,<br />
faunal diversity decreased markedly. In the<br />
lower zone a transgressive event culminated in<br />
a seawater incursion into the semi-open basin<br />
system of the Central Paratheys. Stable bottom-water<br />
temperature (similar to 15 degrees<br />
C) and variable salinites (20-22%) are estimated<br />
for the Early Sarmatian Sea. The faunal<br />
changes (notably a strong reduction in biodiversity)<br />
occuring at the boundary between the<br />
lower and the middle zone can be explained<br />
by a sea-leval highstand with dysoxic conditions.<br />
A relative sea-level fall is documented<br />
at the end of this middle zone. After a short<br />
regressive event, a marine connection between<br />
the Paratethys and Mediterranean was established<br />
at the beginning of the upper zone. This<br />
is indicated by an increased microfaunal diversity<br />
and the re-appearance of marine<br />
Bademan ostracods and foraminifera, which<br />
are completely absent from the older Samatian<br />
series. During the upper zone, the temperatures<br />
and salmities are estimated to have fluctuated<br />
from 15 degrees C to 21 degrees C and<br />
from 15 parts per thousand to 43 parts per<br />
thousand, respectively.<br />

We present new stable (C, O) isotopic, biostratigraphic<br />
and organic geochemical data for<br />
the Vigla Shale Member of the Ionian Zone in<br />
NW Greece, in order to characterize organic<br />
carbon-rich strata that potentially record the<br />
impact of Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Events<br />
(OAEs). In a section exposed near Gotzikas<br />
(NW Epirus), we sampled a number of decimetre-thick,<br />
organic carbon-rich units enclosed<br />
within marly, locally silicified, Vigla<br />
Limestone (Berriasian-Turonian). All these<br />
units are characterized by largely comparable<br />
bulk geochemical characteristics, indicating a<br />
common marine origin and low thermal maturity.<br />
However, the stratigraphically highest<br />
of these black shales is further distinguished<br />
by its much higher total organic-carbon (TOC)<br />
content (28.9 wt %) and Hydrogen Index (HI)<br />
(529), and much enriched delta(13)C(org)<br />
value (-22.1parts per thousand). Planktonic<br />
foraminiferal and calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy<br />
indicate a lower to middle Albian<br />
age for the strata immediately above, and a<br />
lower Aptian age for the strata below, the uppermost<br />
black shale. In terms of molecular<br />
organic geochemistry, the latter black shale is<br />
also relatively enriched in specific isoprenoidal<br />
compounds (especially monocyclic isoprenoids),<br />
whose isotopic values are as high as<br />
-15parts per thousand, indicating a substantial<br />
archaeal contribution to the organic matter.<br />
The striking similarities between the molecular<br />
signatures of the uppermost Vigla black<br />
shale and coeval organic-rich strata from SE<br />
France and the North Atlantic (ODP Site<br />
1049C) indicate that this level constitutes a<br />
record of the Paquier Event (OAE1b).<br />

Wall GRT; Jenkyns H C. Geological Magazine,<br />
2004, 141(4): 471-504<br />
In the eastern Mendip Hills, on the northern<br />
margin of the Wessex Basin, SW England, the<br />
Carboniferous Limestone is cut by numerous<br />
fissures that are filled with Mesozoic sediments<br />
(sedimentary dykes, neptunian dykes).<br />
The fissures contain a record of Triassic-<br />
Lower Jurassic sediments that are only sparingly<br />
preserved in their normal stratigraphical<br />
position between the Carboniferous Limestone<br />
and the unconformably overlying Upper Inferior<br />
Oolite of Bajocian age. Detailed analysis<br />
of cross-cutting relationships, facies analysis,<br />
biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy and strontium-isotope<br />
ages of relevant Mesozoic sediments<br />
has allowed the construction of an Upper<br />
Triassic-Lower Jurassic fissure-fill stratigraphy<br />
for the eastern Mendip area. Most fissures<br />
were clearly formed by rapid influx of<br />
unlithified sediment from the land surface or<br />
sea floor. Some smaller cavities, or larger<br />
cavities with restricted access to the unconformity,<br />
were apparently filled by sediment<br />
that trickled down into the fissure system. The<br />
vast majority of the Mendip fissures are inter-<br />
154
preted as having formed as a response of the<br />
Carboniferous Limestone, north of major basin-bounding<br />
faults, to pulses of tectonic extension<br />
during Ladinian-Norian/Rhaetian, late<br />
Hettangian-early Sinemurian, late Sinemurianearly<br />
Pliensbachian, mid-Pliensbachian, late<br />
Pliensbachian and Bajocian times. Triassicearliest<br />
Jurassic fissures have a broad spread<br />
of strike from E-W to NW-SE to N-S, accommodating<br />
extension in a roughly NE-SW<br />
direction. Younger Jurassic fissures show<br />
well-defined E-W and N-S trends with the<br />
former becoming dominant through time. Total<br />
extension of similar to4.7% N-S and similar<br />
to 0.6% E-W was produced by the formation<br />
of Triassic-Jurassic fissures within the<br />
Carboniferous Limestone. Such patterns of<br />
extension are thought likely to be characteristic<br />
of the subsurface geology in much of<br />
southern England and Wales. Major implications<br />
of this study are that: (1) the presence of<br />
seismically unresolvable sediment-filled fissures<br />
in supposedly rigid fault blocks can lead<br />
to a significant underestimate of regional extension<br />
based on the restoration of motion on<br />
normal faults on seismic-reflection profiles,<br />
and (2) the isolation of pulses of tectonic activity<br />
with a temporal resolution of 10(5)-10(6)<br />
years may provide a means of identifying a<br />
tectonic signal in relative sea-level curves derived<br />
from the Jurassic sedimentary record.<br />

Fossil wood from the poorly dated (Jurassic-Cretaceous)<br />
continental sediments of the<br />
Khorat Group, northeastern Thailand (Isan) is<br />
described. The Khorat Group is widely distributed<br />
(Laos, Cambodia and Thailand) and,<br />
despite its poorly known age, stratigraphy and<br />
palaeoecology, is of importance in understanding<br />
the Sibumasu-Indochina collision.<br />
The systematics of wood assemblage and palaeobiogeographical<br />
analysis reveal strong<br />
relationships with Indochina, especially Vietnam,<br />
and suggest an age in the range Middle<br />
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. According to<br />
wood taphonomy, the corresponding trees<br />
grew alongside streams under a rather and<br />
climate, although this became wetter during<br />
the deposition of the upper formations of the<br />
Khorat Group.<br />

isotope variation during the early Cretaceous<br />

Ocean. ( 英 文 ). Price G D. Geological Magazine,<br />
2003, 140(5): 513-522<br />
Carbon and oxygen isotope data from a<br />
succession of Cretaceous (Barremian-<br />
Cenomanian) age recovered from the Pacific<br />
Ocean (DSDP site 463) are presented. The<br />
carbon isotope curve reveals a large isotope<br />
excursion within the early Aptian where<br />
delta(13)C values reach similar to4.8parts per<br />
thousand in the L. cabri-G. ferreolensis foraminifera<br />
zone. A decrease in delta(13)C values<br />
is observed at the base G. algerianus zone,<br />
before a return to more positive values at the<br />
top of the G. algerianus-T. bejaouaensis zone.<br />
The pronounced early Aptian positive event is<br />
preceded by a large negative isotope excursion,<br />
confined to the G. blowi zone. Synchronous<br />
with this excursion are increased total organic<br />
carbon values and increases in Mn and Fe<br />
concentrations. Integrated biostratigraphic and<br />
magnetostratigraphic data, together with the<br />
carbon isotope profile, suggest that the organic-rich<br />
units of site 463 are correlatable<br />
with Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a. The input of<br />
isotopically light volcanic CO2 in concert<br />
with the intensification and upwelling of intermediate<br />
water enriched in C-12 could account<br />
for the observed trends. A potential<br />
trigger may have been the destabilization of<br />
the water column and the prodigious CO2<br />
emissions associated with hydrothermal activity<br />
and the emplacement of the Ontong Java<br />
Plateau. Coupled with faunal evidence, the<br />
subsequent positive carbon isotope excursion<br />
is interpreted to be resulting from high, but<br />
decreasing, productivity and possibly increasing<br />
ocean stratification resulting in strong carbon<br />
isotopic gradients and C-13-enriched surface<br />
waters. The decrease in delta(13)C within<br />
the G. algerianus zone is coincident with more<br />
positive delta(18)O values. If these are interpreted<br />
in terms of temperature this interval<br />
may be characterized by a period of cooling<br />
and possibly a waning of C-org cycling. A<br />
return to lower delta(13)C values during the<br />
middle Albian is considered to be related to<br />
the increased influence of upwelling, as opposed<br />
to a waning of C-org cycling. Upwelling<br />
introduced isotopically light carbon to the<br />
155
surface, arresting the stratified oceanic conditions.<br />

One of the few detailed records of Mesozoic<br />
deep-water sedimentation and volcanism<br />
preserved along the tectonically emplaced<br />
Arabian continental margin is from the Baer-<br />
Bassit region of northern Syria. South-<br />
Tethyan units there occur as blocks, broken<br />
formation and disrupted thrust sheets within<br />
the Bear-Bassit Melange. Two overall composite<br />
successions are identified. The first<br />
comprises mainly sedimentary successions<br />
ranging from Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous<br />
(Cenomanian) in age. The second is dominated<br />
by Middle Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous<br />
alkaline/per-alkaline volcanic and minor intrusive<br />
igneous rocks. The extrusives are intercalated<br />
with radiolarian sediments and capped<br />
by Cenomanian ferromanganese-rich pelagic<br />
limestone. Facies comparisons and the regional<br />
setting suggest that the Triassic to<br />
Cenomanian, mainly sedimentary units,<br />
formed in deep water near the base of the<br />
slope of the Arabian continental margin. The<br />
contrasting volcanogenic successions developed<br />
in a more distal off-margin setting. Regional<br />
comparisons (e.g. with southwestern<br />
Cyprus and southwestern Turkey) suggest that<br />
continental break-up to form a South-Tethyan<br />
oceanic basin took place in Late Triassic time,<br />
associated with alkaline volcanism. Similar<br />
alkaline volcanism of Middle Jurassic to Early<br />
Cretaceous age could reflect the activity of a<br />
mantle plume beneath the Arabian plate.<br />
Overall, sedimentation was mainly controlled<br />
by an interplay of post-rift thermal subsidence,<br />
plume-related uplift, siliceous oceanic productivity,<br />
climatic change and eustatic sea-level<br />
change. The South-Tethyan marginal to oceanic<br />
units in northern Syria were detached<br />
from an inferred oceanic basement in latest<br />
Cretaceous time, emplaced onto the Arabian<br />
continental margin, then transgressed by<br />
Maastrichian and younger autochthonous successions.<br />

A number of sedimentary basins formed<br />
within the Tauride-Anatolide Platform of Anatolia<br />
during the Late Cretaceous-Tertiary period.<br />
Previous studies have proposed different<br />
tectonic and evolutionary models for each basin.<br />
Geological characteristics of the basins,<br />
however, suggest that all these basins are of<br />
the same origin and that they followed a similar<br />
evolutionary model to one another. Basin<br />
development within the Tauride-Anatolide<br />
Platform took place in a post-collisional environment<br />
following the northward subduction<br />
of the northern Neotethys ocean beneath the<br />
Pontides. The closure of the northern Neotethys<br />
ocean ended with collision of the<br />
Tauride-Anatolide Platform with the Pontide<br />
volcanic arc and resulted in large bodies of<br />
oceanic remnants thrust over the Tauride-<br />
Anatolide Platform as ophiolite nappes. Formation<br />
of the sedimentary basins followed the<br />
emplacement of the ophiolite nappes as they<br />
formed as piggy-back basins on top of the underlying<br />
thrust ophiolite basement.<br />

The botanical identity and facies distribution<br />
of fossil charcoal is described from Middle<br />
to Late Cenomanian (90-94 Ma) fluvial to<br />
estuarine units at Pecinov quarry, near Prague,<br />
Czech Republic. Braided alluvial facies associations<br />
contain charred conifer woods (family<br />
Pinaceae) possibly derived from upland forest<br />
fires, and abundant charred angiosperm woods,<br />
flowers and inflorescences (families Lauraceae<br />
and Platanaceae) derived from riparian<br />
gallery forest fires (Unit 2). Retrogradational<br />
coastal salt marsh facies associations<br />
contain abundant charred conifer wood (families<br />
Cheirolepidiaceae and Cupressaceae/Taxodiaceae)<br />
derived from fires in<br />
halophytic backswamp forest, and rare pinaceous<br />
charred cones and lauraceous angiosperm<br />
wood washed downstream from fires<br />
156
further inland (Units 3-4). Progradational<br />
coastal facies associations within an estuary<br />
mouth setting contain abundant charred conifer<br />
wood (family Cup ressaceae/Taxodiaceae),<br />
common taxodiaceous conifer and angiosperm<br />
leaves, fern rachises, and lycopsid stems derived<br />
from fires in mesic backswamp taxodiaceous<br />
forests and supra-tidal fern-lycopsid<br />
thickets (Unit 5). Growth rings in angiosperm<br />
and conifer woods, leaf physiognomy and<br />
computer models indicate that climate was<br />
equable, warm and humid, but that there was a<br />
short annual dry season; most fires probably<br />
occurred during these annual drought periods.<br />
The abundance of charcoal and the diversity<br />
of taxa preserved in this state indicate that<br />
nearly all plant communities were fire-prone.<br />
Physiognomically, the Pecinov flora resembles<br />
present-day seasonally-dry subtropical<br />
forests where fires are a common occurrence.<br />

For the purposes of a high-resolution multidisciplinary<br />
study of the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge<br />
Clay Formation, two boreholes were<br />
drilled at Swanworth Quarry and one at<br />
Metherhills, south Dorset, UK. Together, the<br />
cores represent the first:complete section<br />
through the entire formation close to the type<br />
section. We present graphic logs that record<br />
the stratigraphy of the cores, and outline the<br />
complementary geophysical and analytical<br />
data sets (gamma ray, magnetic susceptibility,<br />
total organic carbon, carbonate, delta C-<br />
13(org)). Of particular note are the new borehole<br />
data from the lowermost part of the formation<br />
which does not crop out in the type<br />
area. Detailed logs are available for download<br />
from the Kimmeridge Drilling Project website<br />
at http://kimmeridge. earth.ox.ac.uk/. Of<br />
further interest is a, mid-eudoxus Zone positive<br />
shift in the delta (13)C(org)record, a feature<br />
that is also registered in Tethyan carbonate<br />
successions, suggesting that it is a regional<br />
event and may therefore be useful for correlation.<br />
The lithostratigraphy of the cores has<br />
been precisely correlated with the nearby cliff<br />
section, which has also been examined and redescribed.<br />
Magnetic-susceptibility and spectral<br />
gamma-ray measurements were made at a<br />
regular spacing through the succession, and<br />
facilitate core-to-exposure correlation. The<br />
strata of the exposure and core have been subdivided<br />
into four main mudrock lithological<br />
types: (a) medium-dark-dark-grey marl; (b)<br />
medium-dark-dark grey-greenish black shale;<br />
(c) dark-grey-olive-black laminated shale; (d)<br />
greyish-black-brownish-black mudstone. The<br />
sections also contain subordinate amounts of<br />
siltstone, limestone and dolostone. Comparison<br />
of the type section with the cores reveals<br />
slight lithological variation and notable thickness<br />
differences between the coeval strata.<br />
The proximity of the boreholes:and different<br />
parts of the type section to the Purbeck-Isle of<br />
Wight Disturbance is proposed as a likely control<br />
on the thickness changes.<br />

Microfossil distribution patterns and highresolution<br />
delta C-13 and delta O-18 curves,<br />
calibrated against planktonic foraminiferal and<br />
calcareous nannofossil data, are provided for<br />
the Aptian pelagic Coppitella section of the<br />
Gargano Promontory (southern Italy). The<br />
succession consists of cyclically arranged<br />
couplets of bioturbated grey marlstones and<br />
off-white marry limestones, referable to the<br />
Marne a Fucoidi. In the lower portion of the<br />
section, two thin black shares were recognized.<br />
The high-resolution delta C-13 curve presented<br />
here correlates with those of other Alpine-Tethyan<br />
sections, albeit with lower absolute<br />
values. The onset of deposition of organic-rich<br />
sediments falls at the top of the interval<br />
of unchanging carbon-isotope values,<br />
whereas the upper black shale is documented<br />
from the interval of the main Aptian positive<br />
delta C-13 excursion. According to our biostratigraphic<br />
data, the deposition of organic<br />
matter in the Gargano Promontory persisted<br />
through Early/Late Aptian boundary time. Using<br />
a chemostratigraphic definition, only the<br />
lower black shale is referred to the Selli Level.<br />
As far as the biotic response is concerned, the<br />
onset of the 'nannoconid crisis' is recorded<br />
considerably below the lower black shale,<br />
whereas the 'Globigerinelloides eclipse' is re-<br />
157
corded below and within the upper black shale.<br />
The distribution of meso-eutrophic indices<br />
(Zygodiscus spp., radiolaria) vs, moderatefertility<br />
indices (Rhagodiscus asper and<br />
Lithraphidites carniolensis) testifies to a modest<br />
increase of surface-water fertility only<br />
throughout the stratigraphically higher black<br />
shale. The occurrence of a benthic foraminiferal<br />
fauna, albeit impoverished, in both the<br />
basal and upper black horizons clearly documents<br />
dysaerobic rather than completely anoxic<br />
conditions on the sea floor. Relative sealevel<br />
rise at the time of the Selli Event in the<br />
Gargano Promontory is documented by<br />
drowning and foundering of the Apulia platform<br />
margin, situated adjacent to the basin in<br />
which the Marne a Fucoidi accumulated.<br />

The leaf longevity and seasonal timing of<br />
leaf abscission within a plant community is<br />
closely related to climate, a phenomenon referred<br />
to as leaf phenology. In this paper the<br />
leaf phenology of some mid-Cretaceous (late<br />
Albian) forests which grew at latitude of 75<br />
degrees S on Alexander Island, Antarctica, is<br />
analysed. Five independent techniques for determining<br />
leaf longevity are applied to the fossil<br />
remains of each of the canopy-forming<br />
trees. These techniques utilize: (1) the anatomical<br />
character of growth rings in trunk<br />
woods, (2) leaf trace persistence in juvenile<br />
branch and stem woods, (3) leaf physiognomy,<br />
(4) comparison with nearest living relatives,<br />
and (5) leaf taphonomy. The application of<br />
techniques 1-5 suggests that the araucarian<br />
and podocarp conifers, which comprised more<br />
than 90% of the canopy-forming vegetation,<br />
were evergreen with leaf retention times in<br />
excess of 5-13 years. The application of techniques<br />
3-5 to rare taxodioid conifers indicates<br />
the existence of both evergreen and deciduous<br />
habits in this group, whilst both ginkgos and<br />
taeniopterids, which are locally abundant, are<br />
interpreted as possessing a deciduous habit.<br />
The polar forests of Alexander Island were<br />
therefore dominantly evergreen. Preliminary<br />
analysis of five other mid-Cretaceous polar<br />
forests suggests the presence of dominantly<br />
evergreen vegetation in Australia and Antarctica,<br />
and mixed evergreen-deciduous vegetation<br />
in Alaska, northern Russia and New Zealand.<br />
Cold month mean temperature probably<br />
exerted the largest influence on the leaf<br />
phenology at each of these forest sites.<br />

A coastal exposure at Wine Haven, Robin<br />
Hood's Bay (North Yorkshire, UK) fulfils the<br />
criteria for definition as the Global Stratotype<br />
Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the<br />
Pliensbachian Stage (Lower Jurassic). This<br />
marine sequence was deposited during a longterm<br />
transgression and is relatively expanded<br />
stratigraphically. A rich fauna of ammonites<br />
above and below the boundary interval allows<br />
recognition of the Leptechioceras gr. meigeini,<br />
Paltechioceras aureolum and Paltechioceras<br />
tardecrescens horizons of latest Sinemurian<br />
age, and the Bifericeras donovani, and Apoderoceras<br />
gr. aculeatum horizons of earliest<br />
Pliensbachian age. A suitable level for the<br />
boundary is characterized by the faunal association<br />
of Bifericeras donovani Dommergues<br />
& Meister and Apoderoceras sp. Strontiumisotope<br />
stratigraphy, based on analysis of belemnites,<br />
yields a calcite Sr-87/Sr-86 ratio for<br />
the suggested boundary level of 0.707425+/-<br />
0.000021 (combined uncertainties based on<br />
line fit to stratigraphic dataset (+/-0.000004)<br />
and measurement of the standard (+/-<br />
0.000017)). Alternative uncertainties of similar<br />
to+/-0.000008 are associated with the most<br />
extreme interpretation of sedimentation-rate<br />
history allowed by the strontium-isotope data<br />
(that is, abrupt changes in sedimentation rate<br />
at precisely the boundary level); however,<br />
sedimentological considerations, and measured<br />
strontium-isotope values at the boundary,<br />
support condensation rather than hiatus. Belemnite<br />
oxygen-isotope data suggest a significant<br />
temperature drop(similar to5 degreesC)<br />
across the boundary at this locality.<br />

More than 190 articulate brachiopods from<br />
Turonian sections in northwestern Germany<br />
and southern England were studied for their<br />
stable carbon and oxygen isotopic composition,<br />
and some of them for their elemental<br />
composition. Most of the brachiopod shells<br />
are well preserved, and oxygen isotope composition<br />
reflects the temperate conditions of<br />
the European epicontinental sea. Upper Turonian<br />
mean delta O-18 values from Lower<br />
Saxony and southern England show bottomwater<br />
temperatures in the range of 14.2 to 18.2<br />
degreesC (delta O-18(W) = -1.5 parts per<br />
thousand SMOW for an ice-free world). The<br />
relative trend of mean brachiopod oxygen and<br />
carbon isotopes shows a short-term (200 k.y.)<br />
increase in the mid-Upper Turonian horizons<br />
that confirms the climate cooling (similar to2<br />
degreesC) observed in bulk-rock samples at<br />
different sites in Europe. Interbasinal comparisons<br />
between England and Germany show<br />
similar delta C-13 values in both basins,<br />
whereas oxygen isotopes are heavier in<br />
northwestern Germany than in England, suggesting<br />
a cool-water influence from the North<br />
Sea basin and temperate conditions in the Angle-Paris<br />
basin.<br />

Marine vertebrate faunas from the latest<br />
Cretaceous phosphates of the Palmyrides<br />
Chain of Syria are described for the first time.<br />
Recent fieldwork in the phosphatic deposits of<br />
the Palmyra area (mines of Charquieh and<br />
Khneifiss, outcrops of Bardeh, Soukkari and<br />
Soukhneh) have yielded a rich and diversified<br />
assemblage of marine vertebrates, including<br />
more than 50 species of chondrichthyes,<br />
osteichthyes, squamates, chelonians, plesiosaurians<br />
and crocodilians. Selachians are the<br />
most abundant and diverse component of the<br />
faunas and are represented by at least 34 species<br />
of both sharks and rays. Actinopterygians<br />
include representatives of six families, the<br />
most common being the enchodontids. Squamates<br />
are known by six mosasaurid species<br />
and an indeterminate varanoid. Chelonians are<br />
represented by at least two bothremydids and<br />
two chelonioids. Finally, elasmosaurid plesiosaurs<br />
and indeterminate crocodilians are also<br />
present in the fossil assemblages. The difference<br />
in faunal composition observed between<br />
the sites is interpreted as being due to palaeoecological<br />
preferences related to the<br />
Hamad Uplift palaeostructure. The marine<br />
vertebrate faunas of Syria show close affinities<br />
with those of the latest Cretaceous phosphatic<br />
deposits of North Africa and the Middle<br />
East and are typical of the southern Tethyan<br />
realm. From a biostratigraphical point of view,<br />
the selachians are the only suitable material to<br />
provide elements of an answer to the long debated<br />
question of the age of the Syrian Senonian<br />
phosphates. They suggest an Early Maastrichtian<br />
age for most of the phosphates of the<br />
Palmyrides Chain.<br />

Thin bioclastic limestone beds ('coquinas')<br />
in the Vectis Formation (Wealden Group,<br />
Lower Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight,<br />
southern England, exhibit a range of biofabrics<br />
and internal stratigraphies. These features<br />
are attributed to both simple and complex<br />
storm deposition of allochthonous biogenic<br />
and siliciclastic materials in coastal lagoons<br />
and on adjacent mudflats. These modes of<br />
deposition facilitated preservation of dinosaur<br />
trackways, desiccation cracks, shallow-tier<br />
trace fossils and in situ bivalve colonies<br />
through rapid burial. The coquinas thus preserve<br />
a record of surficial muds, commonly<br />
lost through reworking. The principal components<br />
of the coquinas comprise dispersed elements<br />
from within the argillaceous 'background'<br />
facies. Some of these beds are laterally<br />
traceable for up to 27 km, providing the<br />
foundations for a high-resolution eventstratigraphic<br />
framework.<br />

of the Serta paleofloral complex from the<br />

originating from the basal layers of the<br />
Simonovo Formation. It is shown that the<br />
Serta floral complex characterizes the<br />
autonomous late Albian stage in development<br />
of the Cretaceous flora in West Siberia, while<br />
the Kubaevo and Podaik floral complexes reflect<br />
different types of plant communities of<br />
the Chulym stage in development of this flora<br />
(Cenomanian). It is established that florabearing<br />
layers of the Simonovo Formation in<br />
the Kiya River basin rest with the erosional<br />
surface upon flora-bearing sediments of the<br />

conclusion that the Kiya and Simonovo formations<br />
form a stratigraphic succession, do<br />
not replace laterally each other and, correspondingly,<br />
are diachronous.<br />

New detrital mineral age and whole-rock<br />

on the composition and source of North<br />
American Triassic strata in the northern Canadian<br />
Cordillera. Conodont-bearing Triassic<br />
strata collected from five locations across<br />
west-central to southeastern Yukon contain<br />
trace-element ratios ((La/Yb) N = ~8; Eu/Eu* =<br />
~0.66), εNd (248 Ma) values (-9 to-10), and detrital<br />
zircon ages (400-680, 980-1200, 1500-<br />
1650, 1800-2000 Ma) that correspond with<br />
those of coeval rocks in the Canadian Arctic<br />
Islands and the Western Canada Sedimentary<br />
Basin of British Columbia and Alberta. The<br />
majority of detrital zircons were cannibalized<br />
from Ellesmerian clastic wedge and western<br />
Laurentian margin strata and recycled into<br />
Triassic rocks. Conspicuous early Paleozoic<br />
and Neoproterozoic detrital zircons may have<br />
been ultimately derived from allochthonous<br />
rocks of Caledonian-Baltican affinity in northern<br />
North America, such as the Pearya and<br />
Arctic Alaska- Chukotka terranes. One Early<br />
Triassic unit in eastern Yukon contains ca.<br />
360 Ma detrital muscovite, and samples from<br />
several localities include single-grain occurrences<br />
of Mississippian detrital zircon. Mississippian<br />
detrital mineral ages likely record a<br />
partial source from mid-Paleozoic rocks of the<br />
allochthonous Slide Mountain and Yukon-<br />
Tanana terranes following their Late Permian<br />
- Early Triassic emplacement onto the Cordilleran<br />
margin. More substantial evidence of<br />
terrane-derived sediment deposited along the<br />
North American margin may be further identified<br />
within Triassic strata that are exposed to<br />
the west (outboard) of our sample sites, immediately<br />
adjacent to the Slide Mountain and<br />
Yukon-Tanana terranes.<br />

115(3): 295-314<br />
The steeply tilted Tottabetsu plutonic complex<br />
(TPC) provides an exceptional crosssectional<br />
view of a frozen felsic magma<br />
chamber. The entire pluton is apparently cylindrical<br />
in shape, but the active magma<br />
chamber at any one time was much thinner,<br />
tabular in shape. The pluton is stratified, with<br />
a topmost granitic unit ( zone III), an underlying<br />
dioritic unit ( zone II), and a lowermost<br />
gabbroic unit ( zone I). Field, petrographic,<br />
and geochemical data suggest that zones I and<br />
II developed at the aggrading floor of a felsic<br />
magma chamber. Only part of zone III appears<br />
to have crystallized from the roof. Successive<br />
stoping events, recorded as included countryrock<br />
blocks in zones I and II, apparently prohibited<br />
growth of the roof solidification zone.<br />
The complex record of hotter replenishments<br />
and fractional crystallization is preserved in<br />
the stratigraphy of zones I and II as either alternating<br />
comagmatic sheets and cumulate<br />
layers or an upward fractionation trend with a<br />
major compositional reversal exhibited by the<br />
cumulates. The magmas injected during the<br />
development of zone I were basalts to basaltic<br />
andesites, while those injected during the development<br />
of zone II were andesites to dacites.<br />
The overall compositional difference between<br />
zones I and II is essentially attributed to the<br />
compositional difference of the injected magmas.<br />
By contrast, zone III comprises monotonous<br />
granites whose geochemical variation<br />
suggests that they represent mixtures of fractionates<br />
complementary to the cumulates<br />
formed from both the resident felsic magma<br />
and the recharged intermediate magma. Buoyant<br />
fractionates released from the crystallizing<br />
recharge magma presumably rose as plumes<br />
and mixed with the resident magma. Thus, the<br />
TPC reveals the protracted history of pluton<br />
construction from a long-lasting, melt-rich<br />
magma chamber.<br />

We examine the Pleistocene tectonic reorganization<br />

plate boundary in the Salton Trough of southern<br />
California with an integrated approach that<br />
includes basin analysis, magnetostratigraphy,<br />
and geologic mapping of upper Pliocene to<br />
Pleistocene sedimentary rocks in the San<br />
Felipe Hills. These deposits preserve the earli-<br />
161
est sedimentary record of movement on the<br />
San Felipe and San Jacinto fault zones that<br />
replaced and deactivated the late Cenozoic<br />
West Salton detachment fault. Sandstone and<br />
mudstone of the Brawley Formation accumulated<br />
between similar to 1.1 and similar to 0.6-<br />
0.5 Ma in a delta on the margin of an arid<br />
Pleistocene lake, which received sediment<br />
from alluvial fans of the Ocotillo Formation to<br />
the west-southwest. Our analysis indicates that<br />
the Ocotillo and Brawley formations prograded<br />
abruptly to the east-northeast across a<br />
former mud-dominated perennial lake (Borrego<br />
Formation) at similar to 1.1 Ma in response<br />
to initiation of the dextral-oblique San<br />
Felipe fault zone. The similar to 25-km-long<br />
San Felipe anticline initiated at about the same<br />
time and produced an intrabasinal basementcored<br />
high within the San Felipe-Borrego basin<br />
that is recorded by progressive unconformities<br />
on its north and south limbs. A disconformity<br />
at the base of the Brawley Formation<br />
in the eastern San Felipe Hills probably records<br />
initiation and early blind slip at the<br />
southeast tip of the Clark strand of the San<br />
Jacinto fault zone. Our data are consistent<br />
with abrupt and nearly synchronous inception<br />
of the San Jacinto and San Felipe fault zones<br />
southwest of the southern San Andreas fault in<br />
the early Pleistocene during a pronounced<br />
southwestward broadening of the San Andreas<br />
fault zone. The current contractional geometry<br />
of the San Jacinto fault zone developed after<br />
similar to 0.5-0.6 Ma during a second, less<br />
significant change in structural style.<br />

The use of rocky palaeoshore bioerosion<br />
analysis as a tool to solve stratigraphic and<br />
tectonic issues is beginning to bear fruits. The<br />
occurrence of an extensive intra-Miocene marine<br />
abrasion platform in southern Portugal at<br />
Oura (Albufeira) has been identified on the<br />
basis of bioerosion trace fossils analysis. The<br />
observed ichnodiversity is rather low, with<br />
bivalve boring Gastrochaenolites being dominant.<br />
Nevertheless, the ichnoassemblage may<br />
be assigned to the Entobia ichnofacies. The<br />
palaeoichnological study of the Oura<br />
hardground confirmed the existence of an important<br />
intra-Miocene stratigraphic gap (ca. 3<br />
Ma hiatus), represented by a razor-sharp erosional<br />
contact that separates the two main<br />
Neogene units in the Algarvian region: the<br />
lower carbonate sequence of Lagos–Portimão<br />
Formation (Langhian/Serravallian) and the<br />
upper siliciclastic sequence of the Cacela<br />
Formation (Upper Tortonian).<br />

Conventional Optically Stimulated Luminescence<br />
(OSL) dating using the equivalent<br />
dose distributions of 8 mm aliquots have been<br />
extended to key stratigraphical sites in southernmost<br />
Sweden and the island of Bornholm.<br />
The objective has been to bridge the lack of an<br />
independent chronology, which might catalyze<br />
a new understanding of the ice flow patterns<br />
related to the initiation of the Last Glacial<br />
Maximum, and the stratigraphical development<br />
during the deglaciation sequence. Sediments<br />
from proximal environments are usually<br />
10-15 kyr older than expected from regional<br />
stratigraphical correlations and radiocarbon<br />
dates of mammoth tusks. We propose that<br />
OSL signals are inherited from reworked<br />
sediments that were sufficiently bleached prior<br />
to glacial or glaciofluvial transportation and<br />
deposition. Sediments from distal and beach<br />
environments seem to indicate proper depositional<br />
ages. Thus, the main Weichselian stadial<br />
was preceded by almost 20 kyr of ice free<br />
conditions, succeeded by an ice advance from<br />
south-southeast before northeasterly ice flow<br />
163
predominated. Major inconsistencies still exists<br />
for the final deglaciation. Two distinct<br />
environmental reconstructions of the uppermost<br />
diamict at two separate sites, both superimposed<br />
on a periglacial surface, predict either<br />
deposition during subaquatic conditions associated<br />
with drifting icebergs after 16 kyr or<br />
subglacial sedimentation associated with an<br />
ice advance in Oresund. It remains unsolved<br />
whether the periglacial surface at the two sites<br />
can be correlated or if they represent two different<br />
stratigraphical levels. In perspective, the<br />
introduction of OSL dates in Skane has identified<br />
the periglacial marker horizon or horizons<br />
as targets for future intensive dating.<br />

Littorina Sea transgressions based on stratigraphic<br />

126(4): 363-380<br />
The mid-Holocene Littorina Sea transgression<br />
has been studied in sediment cores from<br />
four coastal lakes in NW Russia. The basins<br />
are situated in the same drainage system at<br />
elevations from 6.9 to 9.2 m a.s.l. Complementary<br />
parameters have been applied to identify<br />
water-level changes. Chronological models<br />
are based on AMS radiocarbon dating of<br />
bulk sediments but also wood remains and<br />
moss sedge peat has been dated in a few cases.<br />
All radiocarbon ages have been calibrated to<br />
calendar years BP (cal. BP). Between 8000<br />
and 6000 cal. BP the present-day lakes were in<br />
contact with the Littorina Sea and brackish<br />
conditions prevailed. The water level was<br />
higher than 6 m a.s.l. clearly documented in<br />
all four basins. A peak reaching above the<br />
level of the uppermost lake (9.2 m a.s.l.) has<br />
been dated to ca. 7500 cal. BP. During the<br />
high level phase a short lived regress<br />
ion/transgression is recognized in all but the<br />
uppermost basin. This minor water level fluctuation<br />
lasted for a few hundred years around<br />
7000 cal. BP. It is reflected in various parameters<br />
in the different basins. Correlations are<br />
made with recent studies from Blekinge in<br />
southeastern Sweden situated at the 10 m Littorina<br />
isobase as the present investigation area.<br />
The parallel Littorina Sea history in these two<br />
areas seems to confirm a multi-transgression<br />
pattern across the southern Baltic Sea.<br />

Andersson K; Kaakinen A. GFF, 2004, 126(3):<br />
279-287<br />
Vertebrate remains are frequently preserved<br />
and recovered from floodplain deposits. The<br />
composition of such fossil assemblages is expected<br />
to vary considerably with the processes<br />
active during and after deposition. In this paper,<br />
vertebrate fossil assemblages from three<br />
separate localities (Late Miocene, Bahe Formation,<br />
Lantian County, Shaanxi, China) were<br />
studied to assess how fluvial processes may<br />
have influenced the shaping of these. Although,<br />
the three localities represent floodplain<br />
deposits, all were formed in different<br />
fluvial subfacies. The localities were logged in<br />
detail and the degree of surface exposure of<br />
the collected specimens was determined<br />
through analysis of their stage of weathering.<br />
Combining these data, the following interpretation<br />
was made: Locality 31 represents a crevasse<br />
splay, an avulsion that instantaneously<br />
buried a group of animals. Locality 6 was<br />
formed on an overbank area during repeated,<br />
unchannelised flooding. This assemblage<br />
represents an attritional accumulation, ranging<br />
from fresh to reworked remains, accumulated<br />
during several events representing a long time<br />
period. Locality 42 represents a bone accumulation<br />
laid down in a topographic depression.<br />
The bulk of this ass,assemblage is likely to<br />
represent remains accumulated over a very<br />
short time period, along with some reworked<br />
remains. The assemblages analysed were all<br />
formed in non-exceptional floodplain subfacies,<br />
representing a wide range of time periods<br />
ranging from instantaneous catastrophic<br />
events to long periods of lime. This work provides<br />
a context for the these remains and contributes<br />
to the understanding of the events that<br />
gave rise to vertebrate fossil assemblages in<br />
the Bahe Formation and fossil accumulations<br />
in floodplain environments in general.<br />

The mid-Holocene Littorina transgression<br />
in southern Scandinavia is well documented.<br />
Multiple-stratigraphic sequences in ancient<br />
Littorina lagoons in the coastal area of<br />
Blekinge, SE Sweden reveal a maximum relative<br />
sea level of 7-8 m above present sea level<br />
between 8000-6000 cal. BP. Evidence for at<br />
least two transgression waves is found within<br />
this period. In this study these are documented<br />
in one modern lake and correlated with an ancient<br />
beach-lagoon stratigraphy. Furthermore,<br />
two younger transgressions are documented at<br />
one site, altogether establishing a firm transgression<br />
chronology for the time span 8000-<br />
4000 cal. BP (sea level 5-8 m a.s.l.) as a basis<br />
for understanding the dynamics of Baltic sealevel<br />
changes. Neolithic cultural layers are<br />
correlated to regression periods, indicating<br />
more favorable conditions for beach settlement<br />
between stormy transgression periods.<br />

229-236<br />
Sediment lithology, lithofacies relationships,<br />
palynological and diatom analysis indicate<br />
that two drill cores extracted from ancient valleys<br />
of the Juminda Peninsula, north Estonia,<br />
represent a previously undetected interglacial<br />
sedimentary sequence sandwiched between<br />
the Middle and Late Pleistocene glacigenic<br />
deposits. Four different coloured major lithofacies<br />
associations (units), representing two<br />
glacigenic cycles, and deposits with the Late<br />
Saalian pollen assemblages zone (LS1), the<br />
uppermost Eemian (E9), and Early Weichselian<br />
pollen zone (EW) were distinguished at<br />
the section. The bottommost depositional unit<br />
consists of brownish coloured clay, diamicton<br />
and gravel beds. The second depositional unit,<br />
correlative to the Eemian Interglacial, consists<br />
of a black organic-rich palaeosoil and stratified<br />
sand. A thick grey coloured bed of massive<br />
and partly stratified Weichselian diamicton,<br />
sand, clay and silt comprises the third unit,<br />
and the fourth, the topmost depositional unit,<br />
consists of yellowish grey sands and silts of<br />
the Baltic Sea.<br />

Late Weichselian Low Baltic ice stream in<br />
southernmost Sweden - a review. ( 英 文 ).<br />
Ringberg B. GFF, 2003, 125(3): 169-176<br />
The aim of this study was to review old and<br />
new evidence for the readvance and retreat of<br />
the Low Baltic ice stream. The review is based<br />
partly on new field observations from southernmost<br />
Sweden and new dates relating to the<br />
marginals of the ice stream. The diamicton<br />
deposited by the Low Baltic ice stream is<br />
mainly a subglacial till (Malmo till) rich in<br />
clay and chalk. In addition, there are clasts<br />
and microfossils in the till derived from the<br />
bedrock in the Baltic area. This suggests that<br />
they were transported up to 700 km. The likelihood<br />
is that the ice moved upon a subglacial<br />
bed of mainly fine-grained, deformable sediments.<br />
It is also possible to think that the ice<br />
shut-down of the deforming bed-driven ice<br />
stream, was the result of sediment exhaustion.<br />
The sharp limits and low level of the Malmo<br />
till, and the sharp limit between an area of low<br />
relief hummocky moraine and an area of high<br />
relief hummocky landscape, are indicative of<br />
deposition from a lowland ice stream. The<br />
dating of the deglaciation of the Low Baltic<br />
ice stream shows that the ice stream existed<br />
approximately 18 000 to 14 600 calendar<br />
years BP. At the end of this period the first<br />
stage of the Baltic Ice Lake opened.<br />

A local varve chronology from southeast<br />
Sweden between the town of Karlskrona in the<br />
province of Blekinge and Hultsfred in the<br />
province of Smaland is presented. The chronology<br />
covers approximately 800 varve-years.<br />
The glaciolacustrine varves were deposited in<br />
the Baltic Ice Lake during the Late Weichselian<br />
deglaciation. The study includes 60<br />
connected and 56 unconnected varve series<br />
and shows that the ice recession rates vary<br />
between 75-125 m/year and 250-340 m/year<br />
in the southern and northern parts of the area,<br />
respectively. An abrupt change from thin to<br />
thick clay varves was found in the northern<br />
part of the area. The change has been correlated<br />
with a similar change of silty varves in<br />
the bottom bed of one of the delta plains close<br />
165
to the highest shoreline. This change in the<br />
meltwater deposition has been hypothetically<br />
correlated with the transition between the<br />
Older Dryas (GI-1d) and Allerod (GI-1c)<br />
chronozones, or around 13,750 GRIP years.<br />

Tuuling I; Floden T. GFF, 2001, 123(1): 35-<br />
49<br />
Based on high resolution seismic reflection<br />
profiling, structural and relief maps of the<br />
sedimentary bedrock between Gotland and<br />
Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea have been composed<br />
and analysed. The general structure and<br />
relief of the submarine Lower Palaeozoic succession<br />
reveal a westward extension of the<br />
homoclinal structure distinguished in the Estonian<br />
mainland, The main bedrock structures<br />
offshore are 1-4 km wide. and several tens of<br />
kilometres long, linear zones of disturbances.<br />
On the structural map, these disturbances appear<br />
as submeridional zones of contour<br />
changes, up to several tens of metres in offset.<br />
The seismic profiles usually reveal a faint<br />
flexure-like bending of the layers through the<br />
zone. Locally. this flexure can be intersected<br />
by small faults. These bedrock structures are<br />
ascribed to fault movements in the crystalline<br />
basement. Two different bedrock relief systems<br />
were superposed on the region during the<br />
Cenozoic uplift and the Pleistocene glaciations.<br />
The first event resulted in the formation of a<br />
subparallel cuesta-like system of alternating<br />
erosional scarps and plains. Glacial erosion<br />
created submeridional valleys and troughs.<br />
Today three large bedrock forms, namely the<br />
Baltic and the Silurian clints and the Ordovician<br />
plateau, characterize the area. The outlines<br />
of the cuesta relief, and the amount of<br />
eroded sediments, advocate a regional increase<br />
in erosional activity from the St. Petersburg<br />
district to the area of the Baltic-<br />
Bothnian mobile zone northeast of Gotland.<br />
This zone existed as a subsided meridional<br />
lower ground during the Cenozoic, accommodating<br />
a main river that collected water both<br />
from the craton margins and the inner platform<br />
areas.<br />

Two major colluvial deposits have been<br />
identified on the slopes of the Irangi Hills in<br />
north central Tanzania. The oldest of these<br />
occurs in shallow depressions on the pediment<br />
slopes. The time of deposition has been dated<br />
by the use of optical stimulated luminescence<br />
(OSL) dating techniques to Late Pleistocene.<br />
The OSL dates were 14,700+/-1600,<br />
14,200+/-1500, and 11,400+/-1300 years. In<br />
Late Pleistocene time the climate changed<br />
from dry to wet conditions throughout much<br />
of the tropics and this time period is frequently<br />
reported as a period characterised by<br />
enhanced soil erosion. It is likely that the older<br />
colluvial unit in the Irangi Hills was formed as<br />
a result of climatic change when rainfall increased<br />
ahead of a vegetation change and<br />
thereby provided conditions favourable for<br />
soil erosion. The younger colluvial unit<br />
yielded deposition ages of 400-600 years and<br />
is part of a number of successive erosion and<br />
deposition periods during the last millenium,<br />
probably as a result of anthropogenic impact<br />
on the landscape.<br />

GFF, 1999, 121(3): 182-186<br />
Image analysis is evaluated as a method to<br />
study the nature of the rhythmites in thick<br />
proximal varves in the bottom bed of the Bredakra<br />
glaciolacustrine delta, southeastern<br />
Sweden. The method used was greyscale and<br />
colour profiling on digital images. The greyscale<br />
curve reflects the relative grain size of<br />
the sediment and the results show that it is<br />
possible to graphically reproduce both the<br />
thickness variations of the rhythmites and the<br />
gradation between the different sublayers.<br />
Data confirm earlier field observations from<br />
the area that the rhyhmites in the proximal<br />
varves reflect the diurnal transportation in the<br />
meltwater streams. The mean value of six<br />
measured varves shows that the summer layers<br />
consist of c. 50 diurnal couplets. If the analysed<br />
laminae are formed of unmistakable diurnal<br />
couplers the duration of the intense melting<br />
period was c. 50 days during the Late<br />
Weichselian deglaciation of the Bolling<br />
Chronozone (G1-1e) in southeastern Sweden.<br />
Future work will show if the image analysis<br />
can be used to determine the duration of the<br />
intense melting periods regionally and in that<br />
connection also as a tool to determine the<br />
abrupt climate changes between the different<br />
chronozones during the Late Weichselian deglaciation.<br />

A reinvestigation of a tufa deposit in Skane,<br />
including a number of biostratigraphical<br />
methods and chronology was carried out. The<br />
tufa was formed in a paludal environment during<br />
the time period c. 9,500 to 8,000 BP. This<br />
period is characterised by exceptional low<br />
lake levels and high summer temperatures in<br />
southern Sweden. This may suggest that optimal<br />
conditions for tufa formation at the site<br />
coincided with warm and dry climate conditions,<br />
a low groundwater table, and high<br />
evaporation. During periods with colder conditions<br />
and/or higher groundwater table pear<br />
was deposited. The changes in the local environment<br />
at and around the site were inferred<br />
from the biostratigraphical records of pollen,<br />
plant macrofossils, molluscs, and insects. The<br />
results demonstrate a development from a<br />
dwarf shrub tundra during the Late-glacial,<br />
which turned to an open birch/pine woodland<br />
around 10,000 BP. At c. 9,000 BP hazel and<br />
birch were probably the dominant tree species<br />
in the woodland. The mollusc record suggests<br />
that the woodland remained relatively open<br />
until c. 8,500 BP when tree taxa such as alder,<br />
oak and elm became established in the Fyledalen<br />
valley. The site remained a marsh<br />
throughout the studied period, however, the<br />
results indicate a succession of different marsh<br />
plant communities.<br />

Despite elevations of 5000-6800 m, modern<br />
glaciers occur along the southern Puna Plateau<br />
and the northern Sierras Pampeanas in the<br />
southern central Andes. The modern snowline<br />
rises from 5100 m in Sierra Aconquija to 5800<br />
m in the Puna as a result of a westward decrease<br />
in precipitation from 450 to less than<br />
100 mm/yr. During the Pleistocene these arid<br />
highlands experienced multiple cirque and<br />
valley glaciation that likely postdate the last<br />
interglacial period, although lack of age control<br />
prevents an absolute chronology. Glaciation<br />
in the Puna and along the eastern Puna<br />
edge produced a 300-m Pleistocene snowline<br />
(PSL) depression, while in the Sierras Pampeanas<br />
the PSL depression was at least 900 m.<br />
The greater PSL depression in the Sierras<br />
Pampeanas is best explained by a combination<br />
of cooling and increase of easterly moisture,<br />
whereas the PSL depression in the Puna appears<br />
more sensitive to moisture increases<br />
than temperature. Previously, glaciations in<br />
this region have been explained by increased<br />
precipitation, with a westward depression of<br />
the snowline caused by a northward shift of<br />
the Pacific anticyclone and equatorward shift<br />
of the westerlies. However, these PSL results<br />
require an increase of moisture from the east<br />
rather than from the west. Further, analysis of<br />
topographic data indicates that drainage-basin<br />
relief decreases north of 28degreesS. The regional<br />
landscape response suggests that the<br />
circulation patterns currently observed have<br />
persisted at least during the Pleistocene and<br />
perhaps during the past several million years.<br />

Organic-walled palynomorph assemblages<br />
from the Kasterlee Formation in northern Belgium<br />
provide new insights into the Late Miocene<br />
depositional history and palaeoenvironments<br />
of the southernmost North Sea Basin.<br />
Ranges of key dinoflagellate cysts constrain<br />
the unit between 7.5 and 5.32 Ma, that is, a<br />
latest Tortonian to Messinian age. The palynomorph<br />
assemblage is characterized,<br />
amongst others, by Geonettia clineae, an opportunistic<br />
species that thrives in mesotrophic,<br />
coastal embayments with a low sediment influx.<br />
This environmental setting is corroborated<br />
by the notable presence of Gramocysta<br />
verricula, a species with preference for shallow<br />
marine environments. The occurrence of<br />
species of the fresh water green alga Pediastrum<br />
indicates manifest river discharge in a<br />
near-shore environment or embayment. The<br />
coastal depositional environment mirrored by<br />
the palynomorphs of the Kasterlee Formation<br />
succeeds the distinct transgressive and fully<br />
marine environments of the underlying Diest<br />
Formation in the Campine area. The results<br />
from the palynological study, combined with<br />
lithological and geophysical data, show that<br />
both Upper Miocene formations are two distinct<br />
depositional cycles separated by an erosional<br />
or regressive phase. The upper boundary<br />
of the Kasterlee Formation is correlated<br />
169
with the Me2 sequence boundary at 5.73 Ma.<br />
The Kasterlee Formation is herein formally<br />
moved from the Lower Pliocene series to the<br />
Upper Miocene series. The coastal environment,<br />
probably characterized by a shoaling<br />
phase, recorded at the border of the southern<br />
North Sea Basin, matches the global record of<br />
regressive phases in Messinian sedimentary<br />
sequences, which are linked to cooling and<br />
increasing global ice volume.<br />

The elastic sequence of the Ergiliin Zoo<br />
Formation stretches along the Mongolian-<br />
Chinese border in the southern Gobi Desert,<br />
Mongolia. Its members (Sevkhuul, Ergil) exposed<br />
in the Erdene Sum region are well<br />
known for their vertebrate remains of Late<br />
Eocene and Oligocene age. Based upon field<br />
work, the continental red beds were subdivided<br />
into four units described as (I)<br />
prodelta/mud-sand flat, (II) delta front, (III)<br />
delta plain and (IV) calcretes. All subenvironments<br />
are in a fluvial-lacustrine setting.<br />
Electronmicroprobe analysis, in addition to<br />
conventional thin-section examination, was<br />
applied to shed some light on the complex<br />
mineral association made up of light minerals<br />
(quartz, plagioclase, ternary feldspar, orthoclase,<br />
smectite, illite, rare palygorskite), heavy<br />
minerals (almandine-pyrope solid solution<br />
series, zoisite-epidote s.s.s.) and abundant<br />
goethite and carbonate minerals (calcite,<br />
dolomite). Igneous rocks being exposed in the<br />
source area have contributed to the formation<br />
of carbonate minerals and Mg-bearing sheet<br />
silicates during diagenesis. Higher up on the<br />
delta plain transitional between distal alluvial<br />
and deltaic deposits, fluids emerged from the<br />
distal alluvial-fluvial deposits and formed calcareous<br />
duricrusts. Drawing conclusions from<br />
the rock colour, the mineral assemblage and<br />
the palaeoecological data, the climatic conditions<br />
may be described as alternating wet and<br />
dry seasons, closely resembling those conditions<br />
of a modern savannah.<br />

In many cases, when dealing with argillaceous<br />
fine-grained sedimentary rocks, the isotopic<br />
ages obtained from Rb-Sr whole-rock<br />
isochron calculations are of geological significance,<br />
despite the fact that the initial conditions<br />
of Sr isotopic homogenization are not<br />
fulfilled. To explain this, a mechanical mixing<br />
during deposition has been suggested, leading<br />
to an aggregate of mixed material with fairly<br />
uniform Sr-87/Sr-86 values, whatever Rb/Sr<br />
ratio is found in the analysed samples. This<br />
investigation of the behaviour of Rb and Sr<br />
during sedimentation and early diagenesis,<br />
involves study of more than 60 samples of<br />
fine-grained recent sediments from selected<br />
coastal localities of Brazil. The results indicate<br />
that pelitic samples from some recent to present-day<br />
transitional or shallow marine environments,<br />
such as the Jacarepagua tidal flat<br />
and the Amazonas River mouth, where halmirolysis<br />
could have occurred, may produce<br />
nearly horizontal best-fit lines in a Rb-Sr<br />
isochron diagram. Moreover, the initial isotopic<br />
Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios appear to be well<br />
above 0.710. In open marine environments,<br />
such as the Campos Basin, where sampling<br />
was spread over more than 100 metres, exchanges<br />
between the argillaceous sediments<br />
and seawater potentially happen at low temperature,<br />
inducing a reduction of the Sr-87/Sr-<br />
86 isotopic composition of the sediments to<br />
nearly 0.710. An almost horizontal best-fit<br />
line is produced for the entire stratigraphic<br />
section, independent of the sedimentation age.<br />
We believe that in similar environments such<br />
'zero age isochrons' are maintained for some<br />
time, testifying to exchanges between the<br />
sediment and the interstitial fluids, before the<br />
onset of burial diagenesis. The above described<br />
studies on fine-grained and recent argillaceous<br />
sediments seem to confirm the production<br />
of horizontal best-fit lines in isochron<br />
diagrams, justifying the application of the Rb-<br />
Sr whole-rock method to pelitic sedimentary<br />
rocks. The nature of the material is critical.<br />
The pelitic sediments to be analysed should<br />
contain only very limited amounts of coarse<br />
clastic material (especially feldspars and mica<br />
fragments) and consist mainly of fine clay<br />
170
minerals in which smectites, illite and mixed<br />
layers illite-smectite largely predominate.<br />

A little before 4 Ma ago, deposition of Pliocene<br />
and Pleistocene strata described as the<br />
Omo Group began in the Turkana and Omo<br />
basins of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia.<br />
Soon after, basaltic magma erupted as thin<br />
lava flows, and intruded as dykes into the oldest<br />
Pliocene strata of the basin. These flows<br />
and intrusions are similar petrographically and<br />
geochemically, and mark a basaltic magmatic<br />
event spanning latitudes from 2degrees45'N to<br />
6degrees45'N at a longitude of about<br />
36degrees E. By 3.94 Ma, this basaltic magmatic<br />
activity had ceased. Previous researchers<br />
used these lavas as an important seismic<br />
marker in their study of the southern part of<br />
the Turkana Basin. Subsequent volcanic eruptions<br />
formed North, Central and South islands<br />
in Lake Turkana, and the Korath Range in<br />
southern Ethiopia. Thus there was a hiatus in<br />
basaltic magmatic activity of nearly 4 Ma in<br />
the area presently occupied by Lake Turkana<br />
and the lower Omo Valley, although volcanism<br />
continued on the eastern margin of the<br />
basin. Here we review the field occurrences of<br />
these basalts, their distinctive petrography,<br />
composition, age and significance to Pliocene<br />
deposition in the basin.<br />

岩 混 合 体 的 K-Ar 地 质 年 代 学 = K-Ar geochronology<br />
of a middle Miocene submarine<br />
volcano-plutonic complex in southwest Japan.<br />
( 英 文 ). Imaoka T; Itaya T. Geological Magazine,<br />
2004, 141(1): 1-13<br />
A volcano-plutonic complex in the Susa<br />
area, southwest Japan, consists of the Yamashima<br />
andesites, the Koyama gabbros and synplutonic<br />
porphyrite dykes derived from a<br />
common basaltic andesite magma. The complex<br />
is closely associated with middle Miocene<br />
turbidite deposits. The Yamashima andesites<br />
are composed mainly of basaltic andesite<br />
feeder dykes, massive submarine lavas with<br />
hyaloclastites, and their reworked deposits.<br />
The lavas and deposits immediately overlie<br />
turbidite deposits indicating submarine volcanic<br />
activity. The Koyama gabbros formed<br />
hornfels by contact metamorphism of the surrounding<br />
turbidites and andesites. Highly purified<br />
clinopyroxene and plagioclase mineral<br />
separates from the Yamashima andesites were<br />
dated by a K-Ar method using an ultra-low<br />
blank K analysis procedure. Ages obtained<br />
from duplicate analyses are 16.5 +/- 1.5, 15.2<br />
+/- 1.4, 15.8 +/- 11.7, and 16.5 +/- 2.0 Ma for<br />
clinopyroxene, and 14.2 +/- 0.8, 15.2 +/- 10.9,<br />
and 15.6 +/- 0.9 Ma for plagioclase. The clinopyroxene<br />
and plagioclase data define a<br />
mineral isochron age of 14.7 +/- 0.9 (1sigma)<br />
Ma with an initial Ar-40/Ar-36 ratio of 297.3<br />
+/- 2.4 (1sigma), suggesting that clinopyroxene<br />
has no excess argon and can be reliably<br />
dated by K-Ar. Most of the groundmass ages<br />
are considerably younger (12.1-14.6) than the<br />
isochron age, perhaps due to argon loss during<br />
alteration. The gabbros give ages of 14.2 +/-<br />
0.3 and 14.1 +/- 0.3 Ma for biotite, and 13.7<br />
+/- 0.3 and 13.7 +/- 0.7 Ma for green hornblende.<br />
The porphyrite dyke yields an age of<br />
12.5 +/- 0.3 Ma for the groundmass, and the<br />
pelitic hornfels gives a biotite age of 14.8 +/-<br />
0.3 Ma. Our new K-Ar ages, together with<br />
previous studies, show that a series of geological<br />
events took place in the Susa area between<br />
16 and 13 Ma. Conglomerates and<br />
sandstones were deposited in the beginning of<br />
marine transgression. Subsequent abrupt<br />
deepening led to deposition of a thick black<br />
shale unit, turbidite deposits and large-scale<br />
submarine channel-fill deposits. Coeval igneous<br />
activity formed the volcano-plutonic complex.<br />
The magmato-tectonic event was synchronous<br />
with the opening of the Japan Sea<br />
and the associated clockwise rotation of the<br />
southwest Japan are sliver, recording a unique<br />
tectonic setting.<br />

volcanism: a case study of central<br />
and eastern Anatolia. ( 英 文 ). Sen P A; Temel<br />
A; Gourgaud A. Geological Magazine, 2004,<br />
141(1): 81-98<br />
Extensive continental collision-related volcanism<br />
occurred in Turkey during Neogene-<br />
Quaternary times. In central Anatolia, calcalkaline<br />
to alkaline volcanism began in the<br />
Middle-Late Miocene. Here we report trace<br />
elemental and isotopic data from Quaternary<br />
171
age samples from central and eastern Anatolia.<br />
Most mafic lavas from central Anatolia are<br />
basalt and basaltic andesite, with lesser<br />
amounts of basaltic trachyandesite and andesite.<br />
All magma types exhibit enrichment in<br />
LILE (Sr, Rb, Ba and Pb) relative to HFSE<br />
(Nb, Ta). Trace element patterns are characteristic<br />
of continental margin volcanism with<br />
high Ba/Nb and Th/Nb ratios. Sr-87/Sr-86 and<br />
Nd-143/Nd-144 isotopic ratios of central Anatolian<br />
lavas range between 0.704105-0.705619<br />
and 0.512604-0.512849, respectively. The<br />
Quaternary alkaline volcanism of eastern Anatolia<br />
has been closely linked to the collision<br />
between the Arabian and Eurasian plates. Karacadag<br />
and Tendurek volcanic rocks are represented<br />
by alkali basalts and basaltic trachyandesites,<br />
respectively. As expected from their<br />
alkaline nature, they contain high abundances<br />
of LIL elements, but Tendurek lavas also<br />
show depletion in Nb and Ta, indicating the<br />
role of crustal contamination in the evolution<br />
of these magmas. Sr-87/Sr-86 and Nd-<br />
143/Nd-144 ratios of the Karacadag and Tendurek<br />
lavas range from 0.703512 to 0.704466;<br />
0.512742 to 0.512883 and 0.705743 to<br />
0.705889 and 0.512676, respectively. Petrogenetic<br />
modelling has been used to constrain<br />
source characteristics for the central and eastern<br />
Anatolian volcanic rocks. Trace element<br />
ratio plots and REE modelling indicate that<br />
the central Anatolian volcanism was generated<br />
from a lithospheric mantle source that recorded<br />
the previous subduction events between<br />
Afro-Arabian and Eurasian plates during<br />
Eocene to Miocene times. In contrast, The<br />
Karacadag alkaline basaltic volcanism on the<br />
Arabian foreland is derived from an OIB-like<br />
mantle source with limited crustal contamination.<br />
Tendurek volcanism, located on thickened<br />
crust, north of the Bitlis thrust zone, derived<br />
from the lithospheric mantle via small<br />
degrees (1.5%) of partial melting.<br />

The lithospheric mantle beneath the North<br />
China Craton changed dramatically in its geophysical<br />
and geochemical characteristics from<br />
Palaeozoic to Cenozoic times. This study uses<br />
samples of Mesozoic basalts and mafic intrusions<br />
from the North China Craton to investigate<br />
the nature of this mantle in Mesozoic<br />
times. Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data demonstrate that<br />
the Late Mesozoic lithospheric mantle was<br />
extremely heterogeneous. In the central craton<br />
or the Luzhong region, it is slightly Sr-Nd isotopically<br />
enriched, beneath the Taihangshan<br />
region it has an EM1 character (Sr-87/(86)Sri<br />
= 0.7050-0.7066; epsilon(Nd(t)) = -17- -10),<br />
and beneath the Luxi-haodong region, it possesses<br />
EM2-like characteristics (Sr-87/(86)Sri<br />
up to 0.7114). Compositional variation with<br />
time is also apparent in the Mesozoic lithospheric<br />
mantle. Our data suggest that the old<br />
lithospheric mantle was modified during<br />
Mesozoic times by a silicic melt, where beneath<br />
the Luxi-Jiaodong region it was severely<br />
modified, but in the Luzhong and Taihangshan<br />
regions the effects were much less marked.<br />
The silicic melt may have been the product of<br />
partial melting of crustal materials brought<br />
into the mantle by the subducted slab during<br />
the formation of circum-cratonic orogenic<br />
belts. This Mesozoic mantle did not survive<br />
for a long time, and was replaced by a Cenozoic<br />
mantle with depleted geochemical characteristics.<br />

A much-revised Quaternary stratigraphy is<br />
presented for ignimbrites and pumice fall deposits<br />
of the Bandas del Sur, in southern Tenerife.<br />
New Ar-41/Ar-39 data obtained for the<br />
Arico, Granadilla, Fasnia, Poris, La Caleta and<br />
Abrigo formations are presented, allowing<br />
correlation with previously dated offshore marine<br />
ashfall layers and volcaniclastic sediments.<br />
We also provide a minimum age of 287<br />
+/- 7 ka for a major sector collapse event at<br />
the Gaimar valley. The Bandas del Sur succession<br />
includes more than seven widespread<br />
ignimbrite sheets that have similar characteristics,<br />
including widespread basal Plinian layers,<br />
predominantly phonolite composition, ignimbrites<br />
with similar extensive geographic distributions,<br />
thin condensed veneers with abun-<br />
172
dant diffuse bedding and complex lateral and<br />
vertical grading patterns, lateral gradations<br />
into localized massive facies within palaeowadis,<br />
and widespread lithic breccia layers<br />
that probably record caldera-forming eruptions.<br />
Each ignimbrite sheet records substantial<br />
bypassing of pyroclastic material into the<br />
ocean. The succession indicates that Las<br />
Canadas volcano underwent a series of major<br />
explosive eruptions, each starting with a<br />
Plinian phase followed by emplacement of<br />
ignimbrites and thin ash layers, some of coignimbrite<br />
origin. Several of the ignimbrite<br />
sheets are compositionally zoned and contain<br />
subordinate mafic pumices and banded pumices<br />
indicative of magma mingling immediately<br />
prior to eruption. Because passage of<br />
each pyroclastic density current was characterized<br />
by phases of non-deposition and erosion,<br />
the entire course of each eruption is incompletely<br />
recorded at any one location, accounting<br />
for some previously perceived differences<br />
between the units. Because each current<br />
passed into the ocean, estimating eruption<br />
volumes is virtually impossible. Nevertheless,<br />
the consistent widespread distributions and the<br />
presence of lithic breccias within most of the<br />
ignimbrite sheets suggest that at least seven<br />
caldera collapse eruptions are recorded in the<br />
Bandas del Sur succession and probably<br />
formed a complex, nested collapse structure.<br />
Detailed field relationships show that extensive<br />
ignimbrite sheets (e.g. the Arico, Poris<br />
and La Caleta formations) relate to previously<br />
unrecognized caldera collapse events. We envisage<br />
that the evolution of the nested Las Cahadas<br />
caldera is more complex than previously<br />
thought and involved a protracted history<br />
of successive ignimbrite-related caldera<br />
collapse events, and large sector collapse<br />
events, interspersed with edifice-building<br />
phases.<br />

of Miocene-Pliocene glaciomarine deposits,<br />
James Ross Island, Antarctica. ( 英 文 ). Jonkers<br />

Knowledge of the late Miocene-Pliocene<br />
climate of West Antarctica, recorded by sedimentary<br />
units within the James Ross Island<br />
Volcanic Group, is still fragmentary. Late<br />
Miocene glacio-marine deposits at the base of<br />
the group in eastern James Ross Island (Hobbs<br />
Glacier Formation) and Late Pliocene (3 Ma)<br />
interglacial strata at its local top on Cockburn<br />
Island (Cockburn Island Formation) have been<br />
studied extensively, but other Neogene sedimentary<br />
rocks on James Ross Island have thus<br />
far not been considered in great detail. Here,<br />
we document two further occurrences of glaciomarine<br />
strata, included in an expanded<br />
Hobbs Glacier Formation, which demonstrate<br />
the stratigraphic complexity of the James Ross<br />
Island Volcanic Group: reworked diamictites<br />
intercalated within the volcanic sequence at<br />
Fiordo Belen, northern James Ross Island, are<br />
dated by Ar-40/Ar-39 and Sr-87/Sr-86 at c. 7<br />
Ma (Late Miocene), but massive diamictites<br />
which underlie volcanic rocks near Cape Gage,<br />
oil eastern James Ross Island, yielded an Ar-<br />
Ar age of < 3.1 Ma (Late Pliocene). These age<br />
assignments are confirmed by benthic foraminiferal<br />
index species of the genus Ammoelphidiella.<br />
The geological setting and<br />
Cassididina-dominated foraminiferal biofacies<br />
of the rocks at Fiordo Belen suggest deposition<br />
in water depths of 150-200 m. The<br />
periglacial deposits and waterlain tills at Cape<br />
Gage were deposited at shallower depths (<<br />
100 in), as indicated by all abundance of the<br />
pectinid bivalve 'Zygochlamys' anderssoni and<br />
the epibiotic foram Cibicides lobatulus. Macrofaunal<br />
and foraminiferal biofacies of glaciomarine<br />
and interglacial deposits share<br />
many similarities, which suggests that temperature<br />
is not the dominant factor in the distribution<br />
of late Neogene Antarctic biota. Approximately<br />
10 m.y. of Miocene-Pliocene climatic<br />
record is preserved within the rock sequence<br />
of the James Ross Island Volcanic<br />
Group. Prevailing glacial conditions were<br />
punctuated by interglacial conditions around 3<br />
Ma.<br />

analysis of a Miocene basin<br />
in the high Taurus Mountains (southern<br />
Turkey) and its palaeogeographical and structural<br />
significance. ( 英 文 ). Ocakoglu F. Geological<br />
Magazine, 2002, 139(4): 473-487<br />
Determination of the relationships between<br />
the southern, marine-dominated Miocene basins<br />
of south central Turkey and their continental<br />
hinterland in southern Turkey has traditionally<br />
been frustrated by the apparent absence<br />
of basin remnants within the Taurus<br />
Mountains. The Dikme basin, which seems to<br />
be an enclave of basin remnants within the<br />
Aladag Mountains (Eastern Taurides), consists<br />
173
mainly of coarse-grained continental sediments<br />
of various facies. These mostly earlymiddle<br />
Miocene sediments were studied to<br />
determine the depositional environments and<br />
the factors controlling the basin formation and<br />
basin fill architecture, to attempt to close the<br />
information gap between the Adana Basin to<br />
the south and central Anatolian Miocene further<br />
to the north. A generally southwestflowing<br />
axial fluvial system and interfingering<br />
coarse-grained marginal alluvial clastics derived<br />
from northwest and southeast were identified.<br />
The marginal facies to the northwest is<br />
bounded by a N 55degrees E-running structural<br />
lineament, that starts from the Ecemis<br />
Fault Zone and in digital elevation models<br />
extends toward the north of the study area.<br />
Along this lineament, Miocene sediments<br />
onlap steep fault-line escarpments. Certain<br />
Miocene levels are tectonically disrupted, and<br />
an intraformational unconformity and boulder<br />
conglomerates are also well-developed in the<br />
Miocene sequence. The southeast boundary is<br />
similarly defined by a NE-trending fault that<br />
periodically elevated the adjacent Tufanbeyli<br />
autochthon, producing coarse clastics from<br />
this area. This boundary fault also induced<br />
fining-upwards vertical patterns and synsedimentary<br />
deformation in the marginal facies.<br />
Additionally, the central part of the basin exhibits<br />
a distinct fault-defined morphology<br />
characterized by small-scale (tens of metres to<br />
150 in high) valley-and-sill topography. A thin<br />
marine interval was also encountered in the<br />
southernmost part of the basin, indicating that<br />
the clastic system originating around this area<br />
debouched into a Miocene sea situated further<br />
to the south. The proposed palaeo-geography<br />
and basin fill model suggests that the Dikme<br />
basin and similar Miocene remnants, all controlled<br />
mainly by a northeast-running extensional<br />
or transtensional fault system, may have<br />
been parts of the terrestrial hinterland that<br />
supplied sediment to rapidly subsiding marine<br />
areas further south, such as the Adana Basin.<br />

Sharma M; Singh I B. Geological Magazine,<br />
2001, 138(4): 455-470<br />
The Lower Siwalik succession of the<br />
Jammu area has been distinguished into three<br />
major lithofacies associations: a sanddominant<br />
association, a sandy-mud-dominant<br />
association, and a siltyheterolithic association.<br />
The sand-dominant association is made up of<br />
three lithofacies: cross-bedded sandstone. rippled<br />
silty sandstone and bioturbated sandy<br />
siltstone, which are organized in multistoreyed<br />
sandbodies representing deposition in major<br />
river channels. The sandy-mud-dominant association<br />
is made up of two lithofacies, mottled<br />
clayey siltstone and interbedded sandstone,<br />
siltstone and mudstone, representing<br />
deposition in overbank areas of flood-plain<br />
and natural levee-crevasse splays. The sanddominant<br />
association and sandy-muddominant<br />
association are grouped together as<br />
a channel-related succession and are products<br />
of processes in the river channel. The siltyheterolithic<br />
association consists of four lithofacies:<br />
mottled siltstone, mottled silty sandstone,<br />
bedded calcrete and mottled mudstone.<br />
They are considered to be deposits of Doab<br />
(upland interfluve) areas operating independently<br />
of present-day major river channels.<br />
These deposits have been formed in minor<br />
channels. sloping surfaces, and takes and<br />
ponds of the interfluve regions. The cyclicity<br />
of both successions (channel-related and<br />
Doab-related) has been determined using a<br />
partial-independence statistical model.<br />

A sediment core was taken from the Hyde<br />
Park mastodon site in southeastern New York<br />
to determine the paleoenvironmental context<br />
of the skeleton. Visual inspection of core<br />
LP2A combined with measurements of grain<br />
size and of organic carbon and carbonate content<br />
reveal three distinct units in the core separated<br />
by two transitional zones. From bottom<br />
to top these units are: thinly bedded clayey silt<br />
(225-149 cm), mottled silty marl (138-86 cm),<br />
and peat (76-0 cm). Heavy mineral analyses<br />
reveal that framboidal pyrite is the dominant<br />
opaque mineral in the clayey silt, suggesting a<br />
reducing environment that could have been<br />
responsible for the preservation of the bedding.<br />
Magnetite dominates the silty marl, indicative<br />
of greater oxygenation. Taken together, the<br />
sedimentological and mineralogical analyses<br />
174
of core LP2A suggest evolution of an oxbow<br />
pond.<br />

Norton G. Palaeontographica Americana,<br />
2008, (61): 151-181<br />
Abundant and diverse plant macrofossils<br />
were recovered from a stratigraphic series of<br />
sediments in a small (40 x 28 m) wetland basin<br />
during excavation of a mastodon skeleton.<br />
Topographic and other evidence indicate that<br />
the basin originated during deglaciation as a<br />
channel oxbow pond (now abandoned) of a<br />
nearby extant stream. From ca. 13,000 to ca.<br />
12,200 C-14 yr BP (ca. 15,000 to ca. 14,000<br />
cal yr BP), silt and other mineral clasts were<br />
deposited in the pond, probably intermittently,<br />
by stream flow. As the basin became isolated<br />
from the stream, the mode of in-filling<br />
changed to in situ marly peat and then detrital<br />
peat deposition. The fossil assemblage in the<br />
basal silt was dominated by seeds and leaves<br />
of arctic-alpine plants, indicating open ground<br />
and cold temperatures. Assemblages did not<br />
vary within the Tundra Zone and provide no<br />
evidence of temperature fluctuations during<br />
time representing Greenland (Isotope) Interstadial<br />
1, i.e., the interstadial before the<br />
"Younger Dryas" cold period. Fossils of Saxifraga<br />
flagellaris Willdenow, a plant now restricted<br />
in eastern North America to the High<br />
Arctic (above 74 degrees N latitude), suggests<br />
that permafrost was present. Fossils of tundra<br />
plants were replaced abruptly by spruce needles<br />
and other fossils documenting the establishment<br />
of white spruce then white sprucebalsam<br />
fir-tamarack forest on surfaces above<br />
the basin and emergent and rooted floating<br />
aquatics in it. Fruits of Urtica dioica Linnaeus<br />
sensu lato and seeds of Chenopodium simplex<br />
(Torrey) Rafinesque indicate that the forest<br />
canopy was open. A cone scale of balsam fir<br />
from near the top of the section was dated at<br />
11,230 +/- 50 C-14 yr BP (13,238-13,020 cal<br />
yr BP), establishing the local presence of reproductive<br />
populations of balsam fir just before<br />
the beginning Of the "Younger Dryas"<br />
interval, and supporting interpretations that<br />
increased balsam fir pollen percentages are<br />
characteristic of this cold temperature interval<br />
in southeastern New York and adjacent areas.<br />
Sediment younger than ca. 11,000 C-14 yr BP<br />
(ca. 13,000 cal yr BP) was not present in the<br />
sample series. The mastodon died in a shallow<br />
pond in which wetland and aquatic plants<br />
were abundant. Open white spruce-balsam firtamarack<br />
woodland occurred on the surrounding<br />
upland. The Hyde Park oxbow is the first<br />
depositional basin of this type to be investigated<br />
in the glaciated northeastern United<br />
States. Similar sites in other parts of glaciated<br />
eastern North America could prove equally<br />
informative paleoecologically, because they<br />
could contain records that supplement or differ<br />
from those in lake basins that are usually<br />
favored as study sites by Quaternary paleoecologists.<br />

Use of sedimentary diatom assemblages to<br />
assess environmental changes during the Late<br />
Pleistocene at a mastodon site in Hyde Park,<br />
New York State. ( 英 文 ). Sokal Michael A;<br />
Hall Roland I. Palaeontographica Americana,<br />
2008, (61): 189-195<br />
This Study assesses changes in environmental<br />
conditions of the mid-Hudson River<br />
Valley, New York State, from analyses of diatom<br />
assemblages (microscopic algae, Class<br />
Bacillariophyceae) preserved in a sediment<br />
core from an abandoned oxbow lake (Lozier<br />
Pond, Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New<br />
York) during the period ca. 15,000-9,000 C-14<br />
yr BP, when mastodons were abundant, to the<br />
time of their extinction. The analyses revealed<br />
that the diatom taxa dominating the assemblages<br />
are typical of late Pleistocene and early<br />
Holocene diatom communities seen in sediments<br />
of many lakes throughout temperate<br />
regions of North America. Diatom assemblages<br />
deposited during the earliest period (ca.<br />
15,000-12,400 C-14 yr BP) are marked by a<br />
lack of planktonic taxa and are dominated by<br />
small, benthic Fragilaria taxa. This is suggestive<br />
of a turbid, low-light, aquatic environment<br />
likely with low abundance of macrophytes<br />
fed by glacial meltwater or possibly a<br />
dilute, nutrient-poor lake as a result limited<br />
landscape development. At ca. 12,400 C-14 yr<br />
BP, Fragilaria taxa decrease and assemblages<br />
change to a more varied diatom flora with the<br />
introduction of numerous new epiphytic species<br />
including Amphora pediculus (Kutzing)<br />
Grunow, 1880, and Navicula diluviana<br />
Krasske, 1933, possibly indicating expansion<br />
of macrophyte beds. This flora existed for ca.<br />
1,700 yr until a major change occurred at ca.<br />
175
10,700 C-14 yr BE At this time, diatom assemblage<br />
composition shifted to dominance<br />
by N. diluviana (40-70%), with further decreases<br />
in relative abundance of Fragilaria<br />
taxa, possibly indicating a further expansion<br />
of macrophytes. The closest modern conditions<br />
that exhibit similar diatom assemblages<br />
are in small lakes in the high arctic and present-day<br />
periglacial environments, although<br />
assemblages similar to those dominated by N.<br />
diluviana, ca. 10,700-10,000 C-14 yr BP, occur<br />
in shallow, alkaline, macrophyte-rich lakes<br />
in northeastern North America.<br />
