4 亿年前陆生植物中的内共生蓝细菌 : 内 

共生起源学说的一幕 = Endophytic 

cyanobacteria in a 400-million-yr-old land 

plant: A scenario for the origin of a symbiosis.

T N; Agerer R; Dotzler N. Review of Palaeobotany 

and Palynology, 2009, 153(1-2): 

62-69 3 图版 . 

Direct evidence for the origin and evolution 

of land plant/cyanobacterial symbioses is virtually 

absent from the fossil record. Here we 

report on rare occurrences of prostrate mycorrhizal 

axes of the Early Devonian land 

plant Aglaophyton major that host a filamentous 

cyanobacterium, which enters the plant 

through the stomata and colonizes the substomatal 

chambers and intercellular spaces in 

the outer cortex. In dead ends of the intercellular 

system, the filaments form loops and continue 

growth in reverse direction. Some filaments 

penetrate parenchyma cells close to and 

within the mycorrhizal arbuscule-zone and 

form intracellular coils. This discovery represents 

the earliest direct evidence for cyanobacteria 

growing inside land plants, and offers a 

model for the types of associations that may 

have preceded the evolution of mutualistic 

land plant/cyanobacterial symbioses.

通过大型植物化石和粪便中的花粉来研究 

对柳树松鸡 (Lagopus lagopus subsp 

lagopus L.) 有吸引力的食物 : 一种方法论 

的探讨 = Attractive Spring-food for willow 

grouse (Lagopus lagopus subsp lagopus L.) 

studied using plant macrofossils and pollen in 

faeces: a methodological discussion. ( 英文 ). 

Moe D; Bjune A E. Grana, 2009, 48(4): 310- 

315 

While macrofossil remains of herbs and 

flowers have disintegrated beyond identification, 

pollen survives the digestive process and 

can be identified, sometimes to species level, 

and is hence an important tool in determining 

and reconstructing animal diets. 

This study compares macroscopic plant parts 

and pollen remains in faeces from grouse. 

While macroscopic remains reflect the quantity 

of bark, twigs, berries and leaves in the 

birds' food, the pollen also reflects other food, 

such as catkins, flower buds with developed 

pollen, flowers and pollen attached to leaves. 

Both techniques reflect that Betula and Salix 

are the most important food for grouse in early 

Spring. Pollen analysis shows that later in 

Spring, after snow-melt, the birds are attracted 

to different plants, firstly, it is taxa within the 

Ericales and their fruits from the previous year. 

The nutrient value of food in periods with 

more or less snow cover is based on the environmental 

conditions of the previous year. 

Later on, different herbs, including insectpollinated 

plants rich in nectar/sugar, are recorded 

in the pollen but are not reflected in the 

macro study, and are therefore lost in most 

calculations and not discussed. Nutrient content 

calculations based on Spring and Summer 

flowers need to be compared with the environmental 

and climate conditions of the current 

year.

意大利早更新世 upogebiid 类甲壳动物一 

种新的 Y- 形遗迹 = A new Y-shaped trace 

fossil attributed to upogebiid crustaceans from 

Early Pleistocene of Italy. ( 英文 ). Pervesler P;

Y-shaped trace fossil (U-shaped upper jpart 

with a basal shaft), Parmaichnus stronensis 

igen. nov. et is. nov. penetrates from a discontinuity 

surface cut in Early Quaternary mudstones 

in the Stirone Valley, Northern Italy. 

Parmaichnus differs from Psilonichnus by the 

presence of turning chambers in the upper part 

of the burrow. The turning chambers are considered 

to be an important taxonomic feature 

of upogebiid burrows. P. stironensis occurs 

together with Thalassinoides cf. paradoxicus 

and wide U-shaped pyritised cylinders 

(supp9osedly produced by balanoglossid 

hemichordates).

The Galinha tracksite reveals a sequence of 

Bajocian-Bathonian limestones belonging to 

the Serra de Aire Formation and is one of the 

few sites in the world where Middle Jurassic 

sauropod dinosaur tracks can be found. Two 

trackways contain unique pes and manus 

prints with morphologies that allow a new 

sauropod ichnotaxon to be described: 

Polyonyx gomesi igen. et isp. nov. The 

Polyonyx igen. nov. trackway was made by 

non-neosauropod eusauropod, and suggests 

that wide gauge sauropod trackways were not 

exclusively made by Titanosauriformes.

Several types of feeding traces (galls, window

named according to the formal classification 

developed for the traces of the interaction between 

land arthropods (insects) and plants.

bioerosion on Pliocene solitary corals. 

( 英文 ). Martinell J; Domenech R. Acta palaeontologica 

Polonica, 2009, 54(1): 143-154 

Here we propose Sulcichnus as a new ichnogenus, 

withy three new ichnospecies (Sulcichnus 

maeandriformis, S. helicoidalis, and S. 

sigillum) to name this traces. Sulcichnus is 

attributed to the activity of polychaetes. Similar 

structurs are recently produced by Lumbrineris 

flabellicola, a symbiotic eunicid 

which maintains a commensalistic relationship 

with solitary corals. In the fossil record. Sulcichnus 

occurs associated to shallow marine 

environments whereas their Recent counterparts 

are described on deep-marine corals. We 

interpret this as a consequene of a change in 

the environmental requirements of the 

coral/worm pair.

Console Gonelia C A; Griffin M; Acenolaza F 

G. Acta Geologica Sinica, 2009, 83(5): 860- 

867 

We present results tending to characterize 

the new records of invertebrates from the 

Yacoraite Formation ( Maastrichtian- 

Danian). The fossils reported come from two 

stratigraphic sections exposed in the surroundings 

of Maimara and Jueya, province of Jujuy, 

northwestern Argentina. The selection was 

based on geological and paleontological evidence. 

The recovered fossils include gastropods 

and invertebrate fossil traces, including 

Planolites, Skolithos and Gastrochanoelites 

2

ichnogenus. As result of our review, we discussed 

the possibility of assigning the analyzed 

gastropods to the family Zygopleuridae 

(gene. et. sp. indet.), as an approximation 

to the taxonomic resolution of this fossil fauna. 

The trace fossils were assigned to the archetypical 

Glossifungites ichnofacies. The study 

of the fossil assemblage allowed us to define a 

shallow depositional environment, characteristic 

of a marine context with high-energy conditions.

阿拉斯加和育空地区下 Tindir 群早新元古

scale microfossils in the Lower Tindir Group 

of Alaska and the Yukon Territory. ( 英文 ). 

Macdonald F A; Cohen P A; Dudás F; Schrag

The Tindir Group is a

new findings, is briefly reviewed to understand 

the impact of the Cryogenian glaciations 

on biodiversity and the rate of survival of microbiota. 

The Snowball Earth Hypothesis and its 

modified versions are discussed in pursuit of 

an environmentally plausible Earth System 

model consistent with the survival of biota. 

The radical version of the Snowball Earth Hypothesis 

is ruled out. An Earth System model 

with open marine water, ice-free shelf (at least 

seasonally) and access to the sea floor is 

obligatory for the Cryogenian in order to satisfy 

the living requirements of the biota that 

survived the period. The palaeobiological 

findings are entirely consistent with sedimentological 

findings that require open marine 

water and well-functioning hydrologic cycle. 

The Slushball Earth model accommodates 

more adequately these requirements.

下寒武统阿纳巴管类化石 : 亲缘关系、分 

布及系统分类 = The lower cambrian fossil 

anabaritids: affinities, occurrences and systematics. 

( 英文 ). Kouchinsky A; Bengtson S; 

Feng W M; Kutygin R; Val'kov A. Journal of 

Systematic Palaeontology, 2009, 7(3): 241- 

298 

Anabaritics, or angustiochreids, are extinct 

organisms with mineralised tubular and 

mostly triradially symmetrical exoskeletons 

known from Lower Cambrian beds worldwide. 

They are particularly abundant and diverse on 

the Siberian Platform, from where their first 

representatives have been formally described. 

About 70% of the published species names 

and all valid genera are known from Siberia, 

which makes this region particularly important 

for revision of the group. A few species of 

anabaritids are also reported from such crustal 

units as Western Mongolia, Kazakhstan, South 

and North China, Eastern and Western Gondwana, 

Avalonia, Laurentia and Baltica. This 

study is mainly based on the extensive collections 

available from the Siberian Platform, 

including material illustrated in publications, 

and it provides a systematic review of the diversity 

of the group. The evaluation of taxonomically 

important features by different authors 

is assessed in order to find a balance between 

taxonomic oversplitting of anabaritids, 

which has resulted in 72 species being named 

to date, and unsubstantiated lumping. Of the 

19 published genera we place 14 in synonymy, 

on the basis of our analysis of the type material. 

The genera Anbarites, Combrotubulus, 

Selindeochreo, Aculeochrea and Mariochrea 

may be retained. We are inclined to regard 

anabaritids as diploblastic-grade metazoans 

similar to, or located within, the Cnidaria. 

There is, however, no firm evidence for that 

and they are, therefore, collectively referred to 

herein as a group incertae sedis

Gedl P. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology,

The paper presents results of pollen analysis 

of the Upper Miocene deposits from a borehole 

at Józefina (Kraków-Silesia Upland, central 

Poland), including data concerning bamboo 

type pollen grains, as well other sporomorphs 

(pollen, spores and freshwater phytoplankton). 

Fossil pollen grains of bamboos 

(Graminidites bambusoides Stuchlik) were 

found in two samples, and in one sample they 

were accompanied by conidium of Tetraploalike 

fossil fungus, resembling the recent 

Tetraploa aristata Berkeley & Broome. This 

fungus could grow on leaves of the bamboos 

or other grasses, but also on variety of other 

plants. Comparison of palynological data, 

studies of leaf floras and the nearest living 

relatives, confirmed the connection of the fossil 

bamboos with wetland, reed and riparian 

vegetation. Results of these analyses indicate a 

moderately wet and warm temperate palaeoclimate.

冈瓦纳西北部 ( 巴塔哥尼亚地区 ) 阿尔必

地理学意义 = Biogeographic implications of 

Albian Mohria-like spores (Family Anemiaceae) 

in SW Gondwana (Patagonia). ( 英 

文 ). Archangelsky S. Review of Palaeobotany 

and Palynology, 2009, 157(3-4): 301-308 

The schizaeaceous extant genus Mohria has 

a distribution restricted to South Africa and 

Madagascar area. Its cicatricose spores are 

characterised by their large size and muri with 

hollow longitudinal channels unknown in 

other schizaeaceous genera. Fossil spores that 

sometimes have been referred to Mohria lack 

this typical character and therefore the deter- 

4

minations were discarded. Early Cretaceous 

(Albian) sediments from Patagonia, referred to 

the Piedra Clavada Formation of the Austral 

Basin, contain spores that have the characters 

now found in Mohria. These fossils are hereby 

assigned to the new genus Palaeomohria that 

includes several morphological types. The 

paleogeographical proximity of South Africa 

and Patagonia in Southwestern Gondwana 

persisted from the Permian to the Early Cretaceous, 

during a time when floras of both regions 

had significant similarities. In this context, 

the finding of Mohria-like spores in 

Patagonia suggests that the distribution of this 

fern was more extended in the past and became 

restricted while the continents shifted 

apart during the Cretaceous/Tertiary. The two 

living Mohria species may then represent relict 

taxa of a much more varied and rich group 

that flourished during the Early Cretaceous in 

SW Gondwana.

Eiberg 盆地 ( 奥地利石灰质阿尔卑斯山北

粉学研究 = A detailed palynological study of 

the Triassic–Jurassic transition in key sections 

of the Eiberg Basin (Northern Calcareous 

Alps, Austria). ( 英文 ). Bonis N R; Kürschner 

W M; Krystyn L. Review of Palaeobotany and 

Palynology, 2009, 156(3-4): 376-400 4 图版 . 

The Triassic–Jurassic transition is characterized 

by a major extinction in the marine 

realm but evidence for floral turnover is ambiguous. 

Here we present the results of a detailed 

palynological and carbon isotope 

(δ 13 C org ) study across the Triassic–Jurassic 

boundary from the Hochalplgraben section, 

with first data from the Kuhjoch section. Both 

sections are located in the Eiberg Basin 

(Northern Calcareous Alps, Austria) and they 

contain well-preserved palynomorphs and 

ammonites which allow an integration of terrestrial 

microfloral events in a marine biostratigraphic 

framework. Five palynomorph 

assemblages are recognized in the Hochalplgraben 

section. The initial δ 13 C org shift occurs 

at the base of the Tiefengraben Member, the 

lower part of the Kendlbach Formation, and 

coincides with an acme of prasinophytes, 

mainly Cymatiosphaera polypartita. Typical 

Late Triassic pollen taxa (e.g. Lunatisporites 

rhaeticus, Rhaetipollis germanicus and 

Ovalipollis pseudoalatus) disappear at the top 

of the Schattwald beds (Tiefengraben Member). 

The first occurrence of the ammonite 

Psiloceras spelae n. ssp., which is proposed as 

a marker for the base of the Jurassic System, 

occurs in the Trachysporites–Heliosporites 

palynomorph assemblage zone. The base of 

this zone is marked by the first occurrence of 

Cerebropollenites thiergartii. Our results 

show that palynological and δ 13 C org records 

from different sections within the Eiberg Basin 

correlate well and that the established palynostratigraphic 

scheme allows for very detailed 

local and regional correlations (e.g. with 

Danish, German and English basins).

Studies of spore/pollen wall ultrastructure in 

fossil and living plants: A review of the subject 

area and the contribution of Bernard 

Lugardon. ( 英文 ). Wellman C H; Stamm L G; 

Guignard G. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 

2009, 156(1-2): 2-6 

Studies of land plant spores/pollen include a 

large subject area of both living and fossil material. 

They impact on many areas of science, 

ranging from classical neobotany and palaeobotany, 

analysis of present and past environments 

and climate change, geological correlation 

of rocks, agronomy, medicine (allergy 

studies) and so forth. Advances in the scientific 

understanding of spores/pollen have to a 

large extent been driven by technical advances 

in microscopy (essentially the medium 

through which one observes these microscopic 

reproductive particles). One of the major technological 

advances that has impacted 

spore/pollen research was the development in 

the 1950s of commercially available transmission 

electron microscopy (TEM). This instrumentation 

enabled for the first time high powered 

magnification of sections of spores/pollen. 

This paved the way for the description of cellular 

features in extant spores/pollen, which 

made it possible to engage in studies of ontogeny 

(including exospore/exine development). 

The latter proved especially useful for taxonomic 

and phylogenetic analysis, especially as 

it can often be extended back into the rich 

spore/pollen fossil record. This paper provides 

a brief review of the historical development of 

spore/pollen research, and places in context 

the influence of Bernard Lugardon (1930– 

2007), one of the pioneers of TEM analysis of 

spores/pollen. Sadly Bernard passed away on 

the 26th January 2007. The papers collected in 

this special volume are dedicated to the memory 

of Bernard Lugardon.

美国俄亥俄州晚泥盆世一种 Polysporia 型

L. Review of Palaeobotany and 

Palynology, 2009, 156(1-2): 34-50 7 图版 . 

Thousands of dispersed megaspores of the 

Valvisisporites auritus-type, some isolated 

megasporangia still containing them and dispersed 

microspores of the Endosporites globiformis-type 

have been found occurring in 

close association in the Late Devonian 

(Famennian) of Ohio, USA. Until now, these 

spores have only been found in the Carboniferous, 

where they have been shown to have 

been produced by isoetalean lycopsids assigned 

to the plant genus Chaloneria and the 

morphogenus Polysporia. The discovery of 

dispersed megaspores of the V. auritus-type 

and microspores of the E. globiformis-type in 

the Famennian of the USA may indicate that 

such sub-arborescent lycopsids already existed 

in the Late Devonian, which thus extends the 

range of distribution of these taxa, at least in 

North America. The present work describes, 

using LM, SEM and TEM, megaspores of V. 

auritus-type, megasporangia containing these 

megaspores, and microspores of E. globiformis-type. 

The comparison with their Carboniferous 

representatives shows that they are 

quite similar. This comparative study permits 

clarification of some ultrastructural features of 

the megaspores of the Valvisisporites-type, 

such as the partly lamellate–partly amorphous 

innermost exospore, demonstrating that this is 

a characteristic and important ultrastructural 

feature of this genus.

Megaspores assigned to Lagenicula 

(Triletes) mixta (Winslow, M., 1962. Plant 

Spores and Other Microfossils from Upper 

Devonian and Lower Mississippian Rocks of 

Ohio. Geol. Surv., Prof. Paper 364, 1–93.) 

comb. nov., from the Carboniferous (Early 

Mississippian: mid Tournaisian) of northeastern 

Ohio, USA, have been analysed using 

light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy 

(SEM) and transmission electron 

microscopy (TEM). These studies provide 

new information on morphology, gross structure 

and wall ultrastructure. This taxon has a 

confused taxonomic history, and the new 

morphological information allows recognition 

as a distinct species that can be placed with 

the genus Lagenicula as a new combination. 

Morphological/ultrastructural studies confirm 

the lycopsid affinities of this megaspore and it 

is suggested that it probably derived from an 

arborescent lycopsid that belonged with the 

Lepidocarpaceae. Thus it is an early example 

of a megaspore derived from an arborescent 

lycopsid of the type that went on to dominate 

the Euramerican Coal Measure forests. The 

Ohio Tournaisian megaspore assemblage is 

surprisingly diverse revealing an interesting 

insight into vegetation ecology at this poorly 

understood time in plant history.

consists of three or four claviform sporangia 

that are separated from each other along most 

of their length. The sporangia contain trilete 

spores with a microverrucate to microgranulate

Republic, and named Echinosporangites libertite 

gen. and sp. nov. Remains comprise dispersed 

sori with each sorus consisting of 4–5 

annulate sporangia. Sporangia possess four 

different types of cells and three specialised 

trichomes. In situ spores are characterized by 

a prominent labrum, irregular loaf-like sculpture 

of the distal surface, and may resemble 

some specimens of the dispersed spore genus 

Schopfites. As the reproductive organs of E. 

libertite occur in a dispersed state, its parent 

plant remains unknown. The specialised 

trichomes in E. libertite appear to have contributed 

to sporangial dehiscence, and the 

opening mechanism may have been facilitated 

by faunal-interaction.

Possible effects of seismic activity in the 

Dead Sea basin on the regional vegetation distribution 

are presented in this paper. The palynology 

was investigated in high resolution at 

the Holocene outcrop near the Ein Feshkha 

oasis. Pollen samples were collected from 

three intervals (A, B, D), with thicknesses of 

5–15 cm, containing 1–2 seismites each, and 

from one undisturbed layer (interval C). All 

four intervals are from the same Ein Feshkha 

outcrop section, but from different depths. In 

two of the intervals (B, C) the main pollen 

indicators (e.g. Olea, Pinus, Asteroideae, 

Cichorioideae) show no significant aberrations 

from the typical pollen fluctuations. Interval A, 

deposited during the late Byzantine period, 

shows a decline of Olea percentages immediately 

after the sedimentation of a breccia layer 

(interpreted as a seismite). While this decrease 

in olive percentages predominantly reflects an 

aridification crisis at the end of the Byzantine 

period, damage to olive orchards due to earthquake 

(root damages, collapses of the crowns) 

and/or the abandonment of cultivated land as a 

consequence of an earthquake cannot be ruled 

out. Nevertheless, minor anthropogenic indicators 

like Vitis or Juglans, which show low 

abundances in the pollen diagram of Ein 

Feshkha, as well as other trees and herbs, are 

not affected by the late Byzantine earthquake. 

Interval D, deposited during the Hellenistic– 

Roman period, shows a slight decrease of 

Olea and an increase of Cichorioideae after 

the deposition of a seismite. Our hypothesis 

that earthquakes might have affected vegetation 

dynamics in intervals A and D is supported 

by cluster analysis. 

While the data of this study do not support 

the use of pollen as a reliable paleoseismic 

tool in the lacustrine environment of the Dead 

Sea, some small effects of earthquakes on pollen 

fluctuations cannot be excluded.

Barnadesioideae 的近亲 = Fossil pollen 

grains of Asteraceae from the Miocene of 

Patagonia: Barnadesioideae affinity. ( 英文 ).

155(1-2): 83-88 2 图版 . 

New fossil pollen grains were recovered 

from marine Miocene deposits from eastern 

Patagonia (southern South America). Sculpture 

and structure exine features indicate a 

close relationship with modern Barnadesioideae, 

a basal lineage within Asteraceae. 

Barnadesioideae is confined to South America 

and is represented mainly by shrubs, herbs and 

some trees occurring in different habitats under 

a wide range of climatic conditions. It has 

recently attracted a great deal of attention as it 

was considered the sister-group to the remaining 

members of the family based on molecular 

data. Barnadesioideae has not previously been 

described in the fossil record. One new genus 

and three species are erected in Quillembaypollis 

gamerroi, Q. tayuoides and Q. stuessyi 

to assemble distinct pollen types clearly similar 

to those produced today by extant Chuquiraga, 

Dasyphyllum and Schlechtendalia, respectively. 

These are the first fossil records of 

these genera, taking them back 23–20 Ma 

(Dasyphyllum and Chuquiraga types) and 11– 

9 Ma (Schlechtendalia type). The new morphotaxon 

is clearly distinguishable by being 

microechinate, and by having a thick sexine 

formed by one (Q. tayuoides), two (Q. gamer- 

7

oi) or three (Q. stuessyi) layers, as the most 

prominent features. Their closest living relatives 

today grow far from the studied site 

(eastern Patagonia), with the exception of 

Chuquiraga type which is the sole surviving 

group in the region. Pollen and spore assemblages 

of Early Miocene age (23–20 Ma) from 

southern South America indicate that the climate 

was sub-humid and temperate to warm– 

temperate. This climatic trend may have allowed 

Dasyphyllum species to radiate in eastern 

Patagonian forests, while Chuquiraga 

probably occupied more open areas along the 

coast. Late Miocene (11–9 Ma) palynological 

assemblages suggest warm but seasonally dry 

conditions, in which Schlechtendalia developed 

probably in the hinterland vegetation 

joined with low trees, and halophytic/xerophytic 

shrubs and herbs.

between pollen assemblages and 

grain-size in N.W. Chinese lake sediments 

since the Late Glacial. ( 英文 ). Li Y; Wang N 

A; Morrill C; Cheng H Y; Long H; Zhao Q. 

Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 

2009, 154(1-4): 54-64 

This paper contributes to an understanding 

of the relationship between pollen assemblages 

and grain-size in north-west China. 

Based on the relationship, we have reconstructed 

the environmental and vegetation history 

from sediments from Zhuye Lake, located 

in the marginal area of the Asian monsoon. 

During the Late Glacial (before ~ 13 cal ka 

BP), the high content of sand is correlated 

with low pollen concentrations, which implies 

an arid environment and low vegetation cover 

in the drainage. The relatively high percentages 

of Pinus and Quercus pollen, derived 

from nearby high elevations, may indicate particularly 

low vegetation cover in the lower 

part of the watershed. Between 13 and 7.7 cal 

ka BP, increasing silt content is correlated 

with high percentages of Picea pollen. Fluvial 

flow and effective humidity at high elevations, 

as well as lake-level, all increase. Following 

this, an abrupt environmental change which is 

likely caused by some change in lake geomorphology 

persists for about 300 years. The 

Holocene Optimum is between 7.4 and 4.7 cal 

ka BP in this region. Pollen concentrations 

reach their highest values in the section. The 

abundant herb pollen reflects the high vegetation 

cover in the lower part of the watershed. 

The silt and the fine components in the sediments 

are high and stable indicating optimal 

moisture conditions. Between 4.7–1.5 cal ka 

BP the lake-level fell and silty peat was 

formed at the site. The pollen concentration 

decreased in contrast to the high pollen concentration 

in the Holocene Optimum. In the 

last 1500 years the lake-level fell while terrestrial 

sediments were deposited at the site. In 

this phase Chenopodiaceae, Nitraria and 

Ephedra reach their highest values in the section 

reflecting an arid environment. In Zhuye 

Lake and the surrounding area environmental 

changes are mainly controlled the combined 

effects of the East Asian monsoon and the 

Westerlies since the Late Glacial. In the last 

~ 1.5 cal ka BP the intensive arid trend may be 

correlated with changes in the Westerlies.

A palaeoecological record from Lakes Bolac 

and Turangmoroke details the changing 

nature of vegetation patterns, lake levels and 

climate in the drier part of the Victorian Western 

Plains over approximately the last 

90,000 years. In addition to the routine palynological 

proxies of pollen, spores and charcoal, 

a range of non-pollen palynomorphs 

(remains of algae, fungi, insects and other invertebrates) 

was analysed and described and 

provides useful additional information on the 

ecology of past vegetation communities. A 

chronology for the record is provided by radiocarbon 

and refined optical luminescence 

dating in the upper part of the sequence, and 

the latter technique is used to provide a timeframe 

for the period beyond the radiocarbon 

limit. 

The record shows that during marine isotope 

stage (MIS) 5.1 and mid MIS 3 the regional 

vegetation was composed of open 

woodland dominated by Allocasuarina luehmannii 

type with low numbers of Banksia, 

Eucalyptus and other Myrtaceae under which 

a diverse understorey developed. During these 

times Lake Turangmoroke held fresh water of 

varying depths. The degree of representation 

8

of MIS 4 and MIS 3 in the record is uncertain 

owing to discontinuities resulting from the 

lake having periodically dried. A change to 

open grassland-steppe occurred shortly after 

47,000 years ago and lake levels fluctuated 

considerably before the lake became shallow 

and saline. Open grassland-steppe continued 

through MIS 2 with almost no trees present 

while the aquatic flora reflected further lake 

level declines and increasing salinity. Driest 

conditions, indicated by deflation of lake 

sediments during lunette building, occurred 

between 18,000 and 11,000 cal yr BP. Open 

woodland in the early Holocene was dominated 

by A. verticillata type until partial replacement 

by Eucalyptus around 7000– 

8000 14 C yr BP when the vegetation cover 

present at European arrival was established.

A combination of white light with scanning 

and transmission electron microscopic analysis 

has enabled the detailed characterization of 

the morphology and topology of problematic 

spore-like palynomorphs recovered from Upper 

Cambrian near-shore deposits in Wisconsin, 

U.S.A. Members of the new taxon, Agamachates 

casearius gen. et sp. nov., are 

smooth, thick-walled, synoecosporal (within a 

common wall) packets containing up to four 

spore dyads. The synoecosporal packets themselves 

may be aggregated into clusters of two 

or more packets. The discovery that the smallest 

purported meiotic units are dyads is supportive 

of prior hypotheses that attempted to 

explain the abundance of dyads in the lower 

Paleozoic fossil record. Their abundance has 

been especially perplexing given the absence 

of any modern plants that produce dyads via 

normal sporogenesis. Dyads appear to precede 

tetrads as the fundamental resistant-walled 

propagule in the spore record, indicating a 

transitional stage in the evolution of sporogenesis 

in plants prior to the canalization of 

meiosis into a single coördinated process. The 

variation in spore number per synoecosporal 

packet could be due to endoduplication of zygote 

DNA prior to cytokinesis during sporogenesis–paralleling 

a process that occurs in 

Coleochaete today.

A detailed study of chitinozoans based on a 

systematic bed-by-bed sampling of the Dawan 

Formation was carried out in the Yichang area 

(West Hubei, China) on two representative 

sections located at Chenjiahe and at 

Huanghuachang, where the GSSP of the base 

of the Dapingian (i.e. the base of the Middle 

Ordovician) has been defined. Four chitinozoan 

zones, in ascending order the Conochitina 

raymondii biozone, the Conochitina 

langei biozone including the Lagenochitina 

lata and the Conochitina pseudocarinata subbiozones, 

the Lagenochitina combazi biozone, 

and the Sagenachitina dapingensis biozone, 

are recognized in the Dawan Formation, 

which ranges in age from the Floian to the 

early Darriwilian. In both sections the chitinozoan 

biozones benefit from a direct calibration 

with conodont and graptolite biozones. The 

base of the Lagenochitina combazi biozone is 

very close, or coincides with, the base of the 

Dapingian, as defined by the FAD of the 

conodont B. triangularis. For global correlation 

purposes three important Ordovician 

chitinozoan genera, i.e. Belonechitina, Sagenachitina 

and Cyathochitina have their FAD in 

the Dapingian. 

A total of 8 genera and 29 species, including 

3 new species (Sagenachitina dapingensis

and Lagenochitina yilingensis sp. nov.), are 

described and figured in this paper.

Neotropical rainforest, dry forest, and savannah 

ecosystems by their modern pollen spectra 

and implications for the fossil pollen record.

Accurate differentiation between tropical 

forest and savannah ecosystems in the fossil 

pollen record is hampered by the combination 

of: i) poor taxonomic resolution in pollen 

9

identification, and ii) the high species diversity 

of many lowland tropical families, i.e. 

with many different growth forms living in 

numerous environmental settings. These barriers 

to interpreting the fossil record hinder our 

understanding of the past distributions of different 

Neotropical ecosystems and consequently 

cloud our knowledge of past climatic, 

biodiversity and carbon storage patterns. 

Modern pollen studies facilitate an improved 

understanding of how ecosystems are represented 

by the pollen their plants produce and 

therefore aid interpretation of fossil pollen 

records. To understand how to differentiate 

ecosystems palynologically, it is essential that 

a consistent sampling method is used across 

ecosystems. However, to date, modern pollen 

studies from tropical South America have employed 

a variety of methodologies (e.g. pollen 

traps, moss polsters, soil samples). In this paper, 

we present the first modern pollen study 

from the Neotropics to examine the modern 

pollen rain from moist evergreen tropical forest 

(METF), semi-deciduous dry tropical forest 

(SDTF) and wooded savannah (cerradão) 

using a consistent sampling methodology (pollen 

traps). Pollen rain was sampled annually in 

September for the years 1999–2001 from 

within permanent vegetation study plots in, or 

near, the Noel Kempff Mercado National Park 

(NKMNP), Bolivia. Comparison of the modern 

pollen rain within these plots with detailed 

floristic inventories allowed estimates of the 

relative pollen productivity and dispersal for 

individual taxa to be made (% pollen/% vegetation 

or ‘p/v’). The applicability of these data 

to interpreting fossil records from lake sediments 

was then explored by comparison with 

pollen assemblages obtained from five lake 

surface samples. 

Pollen productivity is demonstrated to vary 

inter-annually and conforms to a consistent 

hierarchy for any given year: METF 

> SDTF > cerradão. This suggests an association 

between pollen productivity and basic 

structural characteristics of the ecosystem, i.e. 

closed canopy vs. open canopy vs. savannah. 

Comparison of modern pollen and vegetation 

revealed that some important floristic elements 

were completely absent from the pollen: 

Qualea and Erisma (METF), Bauhinia, Simira 

and Guazuma (SDTF), and Pouteria and Caryocar 

(cerradão). Anadenanthera was found 

to be abundant in both the pollen and flora of 

SDTF (p/v = 3.6), while Poaceae was relatively 

poorly represented in cerradão (0.2). 

Moraceae, Cecropia and Schefflera were 

found to be over-represented palynologically 

in all ecosystems. Overall, the data demonstrated 

that no one taxon could be used as a 

definitive indicator of any of the ecosystems. 

Instead, associations of taxa were found to be 

important: METF = Moraceae (> 40%), Cecropia, 

Hyeronima, Celtis; SDTF = Anadenanthera, 

Apuleia, Ferdinandusa and nonarboreal 

Asteraceae, Bromeliaceae, Piper and 

fern spores; cerradão = Poaceae, Myrtaceae, 

Borreria, Solanum plus Asteraceae and fern 

spores. Interpretation of Poaceae pollen was 

highlighted as problematic, with relatively low 

abundance in the cerradão (< 20%) in comparison 

to high abundance in lake environments 

(c. 30–50%). Re-examination of fossil 

pollen records from NKMNP revealed that 

modern vegetation associations were only established 

in the last few thousand years.

48(4): 270-280 

An unusual megaspore has been recorded 

from beds within the Weald Clay Group of 

south-east England. Described as Clockhousea 

capelensis gen. et sp. nov., it is characterised 

by having a thick outer layer of exine consisting 

of closely packed columnar to clavate 

elements with constricted bases attached to a 

perforated inner layer and a sculpture that 

ranges from having the appearance of a negative 

reticulum through closely spaced verrucae 

to a mixture of verrucate and essentially baculate 

elements, all of which are surface manifestations 

and extensions of the underlying 

structure. These characters do not readily indicate 

a systematic relationship with any known 

heterosporous plant genus or family. The localised 

occurrence and relative abundance of 

the spores in a few beds suggest that some of 

the parent plants grew close to water bodies 

where they were deposited and preserved. 

Their recovery from sediments of late Hauterivian-early 

Barremian age indicates that the 

species has potential as a biostratigraphic 

marker in the upper Wealden succession of 

southern England and perhaps elsewhere.

Pollen and spores recovered from three

vegetation, including Bruguiera and 

Acrostichum, on the island previous to World 

War II. The occurrence of Casuarina equisetifolia 

Linneaus 1759, from cores elsewhere on 

the island of Saipan, at depths predating the 

arrival of humans to the island, suggest that 

this tree species is endemic to Saipan rather 

than a recent invasive species. These findings 

will assist in replanting native vegetation once 

destroyed through wartime activities on the 

island.

Two specimens of compression strobili

Only fragments of sphenophyllalean 

axes and sphenophyllalean leaves occur in the

The direct evidence about sphenophyllalean 

affinity of strobili is that sporangia 

are connected with axis by a short nonscutelliform 

sporangiophore that is typical 

only for the genus Bowmanites Binney. The 

lack of morphological features of strobili does 

not enable the erection of a new species and, 

therefore, it is possible to classify the specimens 

only as Bowmanites sp. Reticulate 

spores comparable with the dispersed species 

Reticulatisporites muricatus Kosanke are reported

The exine ultrastructure of Williamsoniella

light, scanning electron, and transmission

mu m along its short axis and 24.5 mu m 

along its long axis and is monosulcate, and the 

nonapertural sculpturing is distinctly verrucate. 

The pollen wall is homogeneous, and the sulcus

scattered small granules. The pollen grains 

differ in exine sculpturing and pollen wall ultrastructure 

from pollen grains of the bennettitalean 

taxa Cycadeoidea dacotensis (MacBride) 

Ward and Leguminanthus siliquosis

pollen grains of Granamonocolpites

affinity of these dispersed pollen 

grains. The Bennettitales are palynologically 

characterized by monosulcate "boat-shaped" 

pollen with a homogeneous or granular pollen 

wall ultrastructure.

Denk T; Grimm G W. International Journal 

of Plant Sciences, 2009, 170(7): 926-940 

Patterns of tectum ornamentation in pollen 

of Quercus (oak trees, Fagaceae) are investigated 

using high-resolution scanning electron 

microscopy. Tectumornamentation is highly 

consistent at the infrageneric level and can be 

used to polarize character states within Quercus 

by comparison with other genera in Fagaceae. 

In particular, pollen data strongly suggest 

the recognition of an infrageneric Ilex 

group and, for the first time, allow definition 

of the set of taxa that comprise this group. The 

infrageneric Ilex group displays a relatively 

simple tectum ornamentation exclusively 

found in this group of oaks, in Fagus, and in 

extinct lineages related to Trigonobalanus, 

Colombobalanus, andFormanodendron. Such 

11

a simple type of tectumornamentation is also 

knownto represent an early developmental 

stage in infrageneric groups of Quercus that 

have otherwise complex ornamentation 

(Quercus and Lobatae). Ornamentation of the 

tectum in the infrageneric Cyclobalanopsis 

group can be derived from the plesiomorphic 

Ilex type showing little accumulation of secondary 

sporopollenin. In the infrageneric Cerris, 

Protobalanus, Quercus, and Lobatae 

groups, accumulation of secondary sporopollenin 

masks the basic Ilex pattern. The five 

distinct types of tectum ornamentation are in 

perfect agreement with published molecular 

phylogenies of Quercus. Thus, pollen ornamentation 

is a most valuable tool to identify 

members of the major infrageneric groups in 

Quercus and provides the basis for a reevaluation 

of the fossil record of Quercus.

Against the background of the profound 

global climatic shift from greenhouse to icehouse 

conditions during the Eocene– 

Oligocene transition, major geographic and 

oceanographic changes were taking place in 

the Norwegian–Greenland Sea region. The 

Vøring Plateau was a prominent structural 

feature which influenced the evolution of water 

mass circulation in the Nordic seas, and we 

present detailed palaeoenvironmental reconstructions 

of this structure. New palynological 

results suggest that shallow water inner-neritic 

environments were developed across parts of 

the Vøring Plateau during early Eocene times, 

with terrestrial and brackish water palynomorphs 

indicating that both basement highs to 

the north, and the crestal part of the Vøring 

Escarpment, may have been emergent. A transition 

from marginal-marine to open marine 

conditions occurred around 44 Ma ago, with 

the complete subsidence of the Vøring Plateau 

below sea level, facilitating inter-basinal surface 

water circulation and promoted a significant 

increase in photic zone fertility. Carbon 

sequestration associated with such enhanced 

productivity in the late Eocene Nordic seas 

may have contributed to declining Cenozoic 

atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, thence to 

declining global temperatures and the development 

of limited Northern Hemisphere continental 

ice on Greenland in the latest Eocene.

The Quaternary history of northern Sweden 

as known today is based on studies on glacial 

landforms and Quaternary deposits. In these 

studies the north-eastern part of the County of 

Norrbotten has been of special interest since 

landform systems of different age occur in the 

region. This article focuses on Veiki moraine, 

a type of hummocky moraine of pre-Late 

Weichselian age. Veiki moraine has a distinct 

distribution pattern, showing the ice margin of 

a decaying pre-Late Weichselian ice. A sediment 

core from within a Veiki moraine plateau 

at Rissejauratj was studied by means of 

pollen analysis. The pollen assemblages at 

Rissejauratj are dominated by Betula pollen 

and correlate with spectra from the warmest 

Weichselian interstadial periods recognised at 

other sites in northern Sweden. The Rissejauratj 

sequence can be correlated to either (1) 

the middle part of the first Weichselian interstadial 

(Tarendo I), (2) the early phase of the 

second Weichselian interstadial (Tarendo II), 

or (3) the late phase of the second Weichselian 

interstadial (Tarendo II). If alternative 3 is 

correct the ice sheet that formed the Veiki moraine 

was small and probably did not reach 

outside the eastern limit of Veiki moraine distribution.

megasporangia of a Late Frasnian plant 

from the northern Timan are identified as the 

genus Cristatisporites and Ancyrospora, respectively. 

The exine sculpture is studied in in 

situ spores, as well as in dispersed miospores 

of Cristatisporites, Ancyrospora, and Hystricosporites, 

found in the rock enclosing the 

12

plant. The use of exine appendages as a generic 

level character is proposed. The shape of 

appendage extremities and the presence of 

irregular holes in the exine that are considered 

to be probable insect feeding damage, allowing 

us to consider wingless insects as main 

dispersal agents of the spores.

To study natural polymorphism, pollen 

grains should be collected from ecologically 

clean sites. Taking the ecological conditions at 

the end of the 19th century and at the beginning 

of the 20th century as more favorable 

than the modern state, herbarium material (LE) 

was examined. In addition to typical (normally 

developed) pollen grains, we found two more 

morphological types within the range of natural 

polymorphism of pollen grains of Acer 

tataricum L. that were produced at the end of 

the 19th century and at the beginning of the 

20th century.

Palynological analysis of the organic contents 

of ceramic pots from the Kodiani burial 

mound, which is dated as 27th-25th centuries 

B.C., revealed that they contained honey. The 

samples are extremely rich in excellently preserved 

pollen grains, including numerous pollen 

grains of insect-pollinated plants. Such 

characteristics are typical of palynological 

assemblages from honey. The palynological 

assemblages from three pot fragments studied 

are dominated by pollen grains of Rosaceae; 

however, they differ from one another in the 

subdominants. The discovery of several kinds 

of honey testifies to the presence of welldeveloped 

beekeeping in the time of the Early 

Kurgans. Agriculture, with a significant role 

of wheat, was also developed in the region of 

Georgia under study. According to the composition 

of the palynospectra, the ecological 

conditions that existed during the epoch studied 

differ significantly from the present day.

The palynological analysis of the Berriasian-Barremian

again demonstrated the great stratigraphic 

value of dinocysts. A succession of ten dinocyst 

zones has been established. Most of their 

boundaries may be considered as important 

stratigraphic marks, which can be traced, apart 

from in Siberia, in northern Europe, 

Greenland, and China. Groups of characteristic 

species, in common for these territories, are 

determined for certain intervals. Dinocysts of 

the suborders Rhaetogonyaulacineae and 

Cladopixiineae (including two new morphotypes), 

four species of Dingodinium and four 

species of Aprobolocysta are described, 

among them new species Dingodinium subtile 

and Aprobolocysta cornuta. The genus Horologinella 

is revised, and the diagnosis of 

Aprobolocysta is emended.

GFF, 2006, 128(3): 261-272 

A palynological analysis of a Lower Miocene 

cored section from Sonder Vium in western 

Jylland, Denmark, provides new data regarding 

the vegetation and climate during the 

earliest Neogene. Most samples yielded well- 

13

preserved palynomorphs. Terrestrial pollen 

and spores dominate, with lesser proportions 

of dinoflagellates. A fluvial input into the marine 

setting is corroborated by the presence of 

freshwater algae, indicating, an inner-neritic 

setting. A level containing comparatively 

abundant dinoflagellate cysts probably represents 

a transgressional event. The late Aquitanian 

age of the sequence as suggested by previous 

studies is supported by the composition 

of the palynoflora, e.g., by the presence of 

Ephedripites, Platycarya, and the relatively 

frequent occurrence of Engelhardtia. The pollen 

record is dominated by Taxodiaceae- 

Cupressaceae suggesting that swamp forests 

dominated the onshore region, which is consistent 

with previous results from central and 

northern Europe. Besides Taxodium, the 

swamp forest also contained angiosperm taxa 

such as Myricaceae, Nyssa, Betula, and Alnus. 

Elevated or better drained hinterland areas 

hosted a diverse mesophytic forest, with a 

ground cover of reeds, sedges and pteridophytes. 

Abundant pollen taxa derived from 

mesophytic forests indicates the presence of 

evergreen conifers, such as Pinus, Sequoia and 

Sciadopitys, and deciduous angiosperms, including 

Fagus and Quercus. A decrease in 

relative abundances of thermophilous elements 

such as Arecaceae (palms), Ilex, 

Mastixiaceae and Engelhardtia, in the middle 

part of the studied succession indicates a possible 

correlation to the late Aquitanian climatic 

deterioration. The composition of the 

palynological assemblages including widely 

distributed Taxodium swamps, suggests a 

warm, frost-free temperate climate during the 

Aquitanian in Denmark.

瑞典中部和北部中深色粘土状冰碛 - 微体化

and stratigraphical importance. ( 英文 ). 

Robertsson AM; Lundqvist J; Brunnberg L. 

GFF, 2005, 127(3): 169-178 

Eight sites with a dark, clayey basal till in 

central Sweden have been studied by means of 

microfossils in order to clarify the stratigraphic 

position of the till. The composition of 

the identified reworked pollen and diatom floras 

shows interstadial or interglacial "signatures". 

Pollen spectra dominated by herbs, 

shrubs and Betula are supposed to be of interstadial 

origin. The interglacial composition is 

mostly characterised by 80-90% tree pollen 

including thermophilous trees and brackish 

water diatoms (Spanga). However, to distinguish 

reworked pollen spectra of interstadial 

origin from spectra in sediments deposited 

during the initial or final phase of an interglacial 

is hazardous. The vegetation zonation in 

central Sweden especially during the Early 

Weichselian interstadials is incompletely 

known. An outline is given of different age 

alternatives for the studied till. According to 

our present knowledge it is most likely that it 

was accumulated by advancing ice, in most 

cases in the third Weichselian stadial (MIS 4), 

i.e. after the Odderade Interstadial, in some 

cases possibly in MIS 5b after the Brorup Interstadial. 

The results show that the composition 

of redeposited microfossil spectra can 

give additional information to lithostratigraphical 

data on the age and origin of a till 

unit.

中国西北部新疆塔里木盆地由孢粉型判定 

中生代非海相石油母岩 = Mesozoic nonmarine 

petroleum source rocks determined by 

palynomorphs in the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang, 

northwestern China. ( 英文 ). Jiang D X; Wang 

Y D; Robbins E I; Wei J; Tian N. Geological 

Magazine, 2008, 145(6): 868-885 

The Tarim Basin in Northwest China hosts 

petroleum reservoirs of Cambrian, Ordovician, 

Carboniferous, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous 

and Tertiary ages. The sedimentary thickness 

in the basin reaches about 15 km and with an 

area of 560 000 km(2), the basin is expected 

to contain giant oil and gas fields. It is therefore 

important to determine the ages and depositional 

environments of the petroleum 

source rocks. For prospective evaluation and 

exploration of petroleum, palynological investigations 

were carried out on 38 crude oil 

samples collected from 22 petroleum reservoirs 

in the Tarim Basin and on additionally 

56 potential source rock samples from the 

same basin. In total, 173 species of spores and 

pollen referred to 80 genera, and 27 species of 

algae and fungi referred to 16 genera were 

identified from the non-marine Mesozoic 

sources. By correlating the palynormorph assemblages 

in the crude oil samples with those 

in the potential source rocks, the Triassic and 

Jurassic petroleum source rocks were identified. 

Furthermore, the palynofloras in the petroleum 

provide evidence for interpretation of 

the depositional environments of the petroleum 

source rocks. The affinity of the miospores 

indicates that the petroleum source 

rocks were formed in swamps in brackish to 

lacustrine depositional environments under 

warm and humid climatic conditions. The palynomorphs 

in the crude oils provide further 

information about passage and route of petroleum 

migration, which is significant for interpreting 

petroleum migration mechanisms. Additionally, 

the thermal alternation index (TAI) 

based on miospores indicates that the Triassic 

and Jurassic deposits in the Tarim Basin are 

mature petroleum source rocks.

保加利亚东北部多布鲁察煤田晚维斯法期 - 

早斯蒂芬期阶植物变化的孢粉学证据 = Palynological 

evidence for late Westphalianearly 

Stephanian vegetation change in the Dobrudzha 

Coalfield, NE Bulgaria. ( 英文 ). 

Dimitrova TKH; Cleal C J. Geological Magazine, 

2007, 144(3): 513-524 

The Dobrudzha Coalfield in northeast Bulgaria 

has coal-bearing deposits ranging from 

latest Namurian to early Stephanian age (late 

Bashkirian to Moscovian age). Palynology of 

the coals in the upper Makedonka, Krupen and 

Gurkovo formations has been used to identify 

major changes in the vegetation during late 

Westphalian and early Stephanian times. The 

palynomorphs were grouped in two different 

ways (according to general rnorphotype and 

according to parent plant group) and stratigraphical 

trends in the two sets of groups used 

to identify vegetation change through the succession. 

Detrended Correspondence Analysis 

was also used to identify ecological relationships 

between the palynofloras. In the upper 

Makedonka and Krupen formations, lycophyte 

spores mostly comprise 15-25 % of the palynofloras 

in the thicker seams, but in the 

thinner coals they can represent Lip to 55 %. 

Of the other plant groups, ferns are the most 

abundant, representing 31-69 % in the thicker 

seams, 12-41 % in the thinner seams. This 

suggests that the arborescent lycophytes were 

mainly restricted to pioneer vegetation in 

these upland areas, and were replaced by ferns 

as the peat substrates became better developed, 

suggesting better-drained conditions. The 

thinner seams also have a noticeable component 

of sphenophyll spores, indicating significant 

areas of open conditions allowing colonization 

by these scrambling plants. In the 

Gurkovo Formation coals, lycophytes form an 

even smaller part of the palynological spectra, 

usually less than 10 % and in only one sample 

just over 25 %; fern spores make up 43-57 % 

of the palynofloras. This is in contrast to the 

palynofloras reported from contemporaneous 

elastic deposits in South Wales, most of which 

consist mostly of 34-60 % lycophyte spores 

and 14-34 % fern spores. Even more marked 

is the difference from the contemporancous 

coals formed in lowland settings in the USA, 

which have mostly > 50 % lycophyte spores. 

This evidence suggests that the timing of the 

15

decline in abundance of arborescent lycophytes 

varied according to elevation above 

sea-level. In lowland coastal settings, the lycophytes 

remained dominant until middle-late 

Cantabrian times, but in more inland areas 

they were progressively replaced mainly by 

arborescent ferns during late Westphalian 

times.

A. Geological Magazine, 2005, 143(1): 809- 

821 

Mudstones above coals in the eastern part 

of the South Wales Coalfield have yielded 

diverse and well-preserved palynofloras. They 

indicate that the Llantwit No. 1 and No. 2 

seams are Stephanian in age, and thus correlate 

with the Household Coals Member in the 

Forest of Dean. Until the formation of the 

highest coal seam in the succession (No. 1 

Llantwit Seam), conditions were progressively 

becoming wetter, as indicated by an increase 

in abundance of lycophytes and a decline in 

the cordaites. However, after the formation of 

this stratigraphically highest coal, the lycophytes 

declined significantly, indicating that 

conditions suddenly became drier, perhaps as 

a result Of uplift of the area as the Variscan 

Front to the south steadily pressed forward.

Early Devonian miospore assemblages from 

'La Gileppe' (Eastern Belgium) include five 

varieties of trilete spore belonging to the genus 

Emphanisporites. These five varieties 

show a continuous variation of their morphological 

characteristics. The variation in morphological 

characteristics can be related to the 

evolution of morphological features and allows 

us to define the Emphanisporites micromatus 

Morphon. A statistical evaluation of 

this population highlights the interdependence 

of almost all morphological parameters. This 

study proves the increase in size of ornamental 

and structural parameters over several million 

years. The biometric changes and the progressive 

replacement of older morphotypes by 

younger ones indicate that a temporal link exists 

between these different varieties. Two 

phylogenetic hypotheses for the E. micromatus 

Morphon are proposed. This morphological 

evolution is so far observed only on 

the Eastern Old Red Sandstone Continent and 

defines a palaeophytogeographic sinuosuszavallatus 

Province.

stratigraphy and palaeoecology of the Pliocene 

in northern Belgium southern North Sea Basin. 

( 英文 ). Louwye S; Head M J; De Schepper S. 

Geological Magazine, 2004, 141(3): 353-378 

Dinoflagellate cysts and other palynomorphs 

from the Pliocene Kattendijk and Lillo 

formations, exposed in two temporary outcrops 

in northern Belgium, provide new information 

on the biostratigraphic position and 

sequence stratigraphic interpretation of these 

units. Dinoflagellate cysts from the Kattendijk 

Formation indicate an age between about 5.0 

Ma and 4.7-4.4 Ma (early Early Pliocene) in 

our sections, confirming a correlation with 

standard sequence 3.4 and implying a slightly 

greater age than the Ramsholt Member of the 

Coralline Crag Formation of eastern England. 

The unconformity at the base of the Kattendijk 

Formation was not seen, but presumably correlates 

with sequence boundary Me2 at 5.73 

Ma. The overlying Lillo Formation is late 

Early Pliocene or early Late Pliocene (c. 4.2- 

2.6 Ma) in age, and the unconformity at its 

base may be correlated with sequence boundary 

Za2 at 4.04 Ma or Pial at 3.21 Ma. The 

Oorderen Sands and superjacent Kruisschans 

Sands members (Lillo Formation) are both 

part of the same depositional cycle. They were 

probably deposited before 2.74 Ma, and certainly 

before the onset of Northern Hemisphere 

cooling at c. 2.6 Ma. Evidence from 

dinoflagellate cysts indicates that both a shelly 

unit at the base of the Lillo Formation and the 

lower part of the overlying Oorderen Sands 

were deposited during a conspicuously cool 

climatic phase, with warmer temperatures returning 

during later deposition of the Oorderen 

Sands and Kruisschans Sands members. 

Many dinoflagellate cyst and acritarch species 

are reported here for the first time from the 

southern North Sea Basin. Selenopemphix 

conspicua (de Verteuil & Norris, 1992) stat. 

nov. is proposed.

The remarkable diversification of singlecelled 

photosynthesising biota of algal and 

other as yet unknown affinities (acritarchs), 

followed by the diversification of metazoans, 

occurred during the Ediacaran Period, which 

is marked by extreme climatic and environmental 

changes. Here we describe a taxonomically 

diverse acritarch association from 

the Ediacaran part of the Giles 1 drillcore in 

the Officer Basin, South Australia, which 

documents further the Ediacaran phytoplankton 

radiation. The studied palynoflora comprises 

21 known acritarch species belonging to 

15 genera. One new monospecific genus is 

described (Calyxia xandaros sp. nov.) as well 

as one new species of Tanarium (Tanarium 

anozos sp. nov.). We also propose the genus 

Knollisphaeridium to replace the preoccupied 

genus Echinosphaeridium. Three stratigraphically 

successive assemblages that match previously 

observed patterns of acritarch replacement 

are distinguished. The present record 

is from slightly older strata than in previous 

records, thus extending the ranges of certain 

acanthomorphic species. The lower 

boundaries of three stratigraphically higher 

assemblage zones among the four formerly 

established zones, are identified by the occurrence 

of the index species Tanarium conoideum, 

Tanarium irregulare and Apodastoides 

verobturatus, respectively. The substantial 

morphological disparity of acritarchs in 

the Giles 1 succession suggests that they may 

represent a great diversity of microorganisms, 

not only as biological species but also representing 

perhaps vegetative and encysted stages 

in their life cycle. The reconstructed palaeogeographic 

distribution of several species between 

Australia, Siberia, Baltica (the East 

European Platform), and to South China, 

shows that acritarchs are suitable for both intra- 

and inter-regional correlation.

small shelly fossils on the early Cambrian

The records of biotic and biogeochemical 

events around the Proterozoic-Cambrian transition 

are well preserved in sedimentary rock 

successions in Iberia. Until recently, sparsely 

fossiliferous siliciclastic and carbonate successions 

in central Spain were believed to be 

largely Proterozoic in age and to have suffered 

late Cadomian deformation. Small shelly fossils 

identified as Anabarella sp. cf. A. plana 

are here reported from south-central Spain and 

are consistent with broadly Nemakit- 

Daldynian to Tommotian, early Cambrian age. 

At a location in southwestern Spain, siliciclastics 

that yield Platysolenites antiquissimus in 

association with an unidentified trilobite are 

interpreted to be coeval with the upper stratigraphic 

record of P. antiquissimus in Baltica. 

Both fossil occurrences are nearly timeequivalent 

to Tommotian-age rocks in North 

Iberia that yield ichnofossils and acritarchs. 

These beds unconformably overlie Neoproterozoic 

turbidites deformed by late Cadomian 

folding. Small shelly fossil (SSF) faunas in 

central Iberia (Spain) have "Acado-Baltic" and 

"Gondwanan" affinities, and their presently 

known distribution supplements previous palaeogeographic 

reconstructions that imply 

near contemporaneity with broadly Tommotian-age 

faunas from medium to low latitude 

shelf settings in Iberia, Siberia, Avalonia, Armorica, 

southern China, Iran, India and Australia. 

The new biostratigraphic data allow 

clarification of the magnitude of the sub- 

Tommotian unconformity in parts of Iberia 

and set firm minimum age constraints for the 

terminal Cadomian Phase of the Pan-African 

orogeny in Iberia.

The analysis of sediments and pollen from 

three sedimentary profiles in the St-Omer basin 

(Pas-de-Calais, France) has allowed the 

reconstruction of local and regional vegetation 

history from the late Preboreal to the Subatlantic. 

Hydrological changes induced vegetation 

changes, with freshwater marshy vegetation 

dominating during fluvial episodes, and 

halophilous grasslands, typical of shore areas, 

dominating during episodes of salt water input 

(five marine episodes, so-called St-Omer I to 

St-Omer V). Pollen markers indicative of human 

presence and agricultural activities, along 

with contemporaneous signals of forest disturbance, 

are recorded from ca 4000 cal BP onwards.

The Clouston Farm locality, assigned to the 

Lopingian Epoch and occurring within the 

Normandien Formation of the northeastern 

Karoo Basin, provides evidence for a community 

of diverse vascular plants occupying riparian 

woodland. The depositional environment 

is interpreted as an abandoned trunk 

channel that preserved a megaflora in slackwater 

phases punctuated by overbank deposits 

from rare flood events. Of 9772 plant specimens 

tabulated from an unbiased census of all 

fragments greater than ~ 1 cm 2 , there are 51 

distinct organ morphotypes, including glossopterids, 

sphenopsids, and ferns, collectively 

represented as foliage, axes, fructifications, 

and dispersed seeds. Of the 11 most abundant 

morphotypes 10 are glossopterid morphotypes 

or variant subtypes, in addition to a sphenopsid. 

Glossopterid morphotype dominance also 

is reflected in the palynoflora. Palynological 

data indicate a Wuchiapingian age for the locality. 

A specimen of the dicynodont ‘Oudenodon,’ 

found in a nearby stratigraphically 

equivalent outcrop, is attributable to the Dicynodon 

Assemblage Zone, assigned a 

younger Changhsingian age. A rich record of 

plant–insect associations demonstrates an elevated 

frequency of external foliage feeding by 

mandibulate insects and lower incidence of 

oviposition by palaeodictyopteroid and odonatopteroid 

taxa. Evidence for piercing-andsucking 

and galling is rare. The most abundant 

plant taxon (glossopterid Morphotype C2a) is 

the most intensively herbivorized, overwhelmingly 

by external feeding and ovipositing insects. 

Insect damage on this host is beyond 

that predicted by floristic abundance alone. 

This specificity, and high herbivory levels on 

other glossopterid taxa, demonstrates extension 

of the Euramerican pattern toward the 

preferential targeting of pteridosperms. The 

Clouston Farm site provides a glimpse into a 

late Permian ecosystem of primary producers, 

herbivores, and insectivores—a prelude to the 

crisis that engulfed life at the end of the period.

494-506 5 图版 . 

The extant regional vegetation of Panotla, 

Tlaxcala, Mexico, is the result of its geography, 

mainly due to the buildup of the Mexican 

Trans-volcanic Belt. Before this volcanic belt 

originated, palaeobotanical evidence suggests 

that topographic, palaeoclimatic and ecological 

conditions were different, allowing the 

establishment of an evergreen tropical forest 

represented by plants similar to Terminalia, 

Cedrela and cf. Hypodaphnys, which together 

suggest the presence of a warm–humid (tropical) 

climate in a region not higher than 

900 masl. In contrast, today Panotla is located 

at an altitude that varies from 2100 to 

2300 masl, has a temperate sub-humid climate, 

with annual precipitation of 1650 mm, maximum 

annual temperature of 24.3 °C, and its 

vegetation is composed of a white pine (Pinus 

pseudostrobus Lindol.), oak (Quercus spp.) 

and white cedar (Cupressus benthamii Endl.). 

Geological and palaeobiological evidence 

suggests an active volcanic and tectonic scenario 

that influenced plant evolution by shifting 

climatic conditions from high temperaturehumid 

to high temperature-dry, selecting the 

plant communities in the region through time, 

supporting the change from a tropical rain forest 

to a xeric vegetation.

义 = Evolutionary significance of granular 

exine structure in the light of phylogenetic 

analyses. ( 英文 ). Doyle J A. Review of Palaeobotany 


198-210 1 图版 . 

In 1973 Van Campo and Lugardon recognized 

granular structure as a third major type 

of exine structure in seed plants, in addition to 

columellar (restricted to angiosperms) and 

alveolar (restricted to other seed plants, such 

as cycads and saccate conifers). Because they 

found granular structure both in other seed 

plants (non-saccate conifers, Gnetales) and in 

angiosperms (some Magnoliales, monocots, 

and “Amentiferae”), they suggested it might 

be ancestral in angiosperms. This suggestion 

was elaborated by other workers and supported 

by studies of Le Thomas and Lugardon 

on Annonaceae (Magnoliales), which appeared 

to show origin of columellae by various 

modifications of granules. Phylogenetic 

(cladistic) analyses of seed plants based on 

morphological and molecular data modify this 

scheme considerably but reaffirm the systematic 

interest of granular structure. In conifers 

and Gnetales (which probably form a clade), 

granular structure appears to be derived from 

alveolar (as in Pinaceae, Podocarpaceae and 

extinct outgroups of conifers). Molecular 

analyses root the phylogenetic tree of angiosperms 

among Amborella, Nymphaeales, and 

Austrobaileyales, which have columellar and 

related exine structures, implying that granular 

exines were derived within angiosperms. This 

contradicts earlier views that granular structure 

provides evidence for a relationship between 

angiosperms and outgroups such as 

Gnetales and Bennettitales. Phylogenetic 

analyses indicate that granular structure was 

derived from columellar within Magnoliales 

and Laurales, in each of which it is an important 

synapomorphy of a major subgroup; the 

same may also be true for Fagales. However, 

phylogenetic analyses of Annonaceae confirm 

that granular structure is ancestral in this 

group and columellar is derived, essentially as 

a reversal to the ancestral state in angiosperms. 

In Fagales granular structure is associated 

with wind pollination, but not in Magnoliales 

and Laurales; however, in all three cases it 

may be correlated with reduction in exine 

thickness.

The study involves a palaeoecological

of the Lampertice Member of the Žacléř 

Formation in the Intra-Sudetic Basin, Czech 

Republic is proposed. The study area was an 

intramontane valley drained by a braided to 

low-sinuosity meandering river with a well 

developed floodplain. The river probably 

flowed to the northeast. Taphonomic analysis 

of the fossil record of various lithologies revealed 

the existence of autochthonous, 

parautochthonous–autochthonous and allochthonous 

plant associations. These associations 

served as the basis for the restoration of the 

original phytocoenoses colonizing different 

areas of the valley: (1) channel banks dominated 

by pteridosperms with subdominant 

calamiteans and ferns: (2) clastic floodplains 

colonised either by pteridosperms, ferns and 

calamiteans in well-drained areas or by arborescent 

lycopsids and ferns in poorly-drained 

areas: (3) mire (peat-forming) forests composed 

of arborescent lycopsids, ferns and 

sphenophylls: and (4) valley margin and

Palaeoecological analysis of a single-age 

plant assemblage of the middle Westphalian 

age (Bolsovian = middle Moscovian) preserved 

in the tuff bed at the base of the Whetstone 

Horizon in the roof of the Lower Radnice 

Coal of the Štilec opencast mine in central

represents a peat-forming phytocoenosis 

buried in situ by volcanic ash-fall as indicated 

by frequent occurrence of upright stems 

rooted in the underlying coal and large plant 

21

fragments occurring at the base of the tuff. It 

is a low-diversity herbaceous and subarborescent 

assemblage dominated by small ferns and 

calamites with subdominant lycopsids not 

taller than about 1–1.5 m. This unique herbaceous 

assemblage comprises four fern species 

(Kidstonia heracleensis, Dendraena pinnatilobata, 

Desmopteris alethopteroides and 

Sphenopteris cirrhifolia), Calamites sp. and 

the small lycopsid Spencerites leismanii. Each 

species bears mature fertile organs with spores 

that indicate them to represent small but fully 

mature plants and not juvenile arborescent 

taxa. This plant assemblage is interpreted as a 

pioneer phytocoenosis that colonised a shallowed 

pond or lake, and that developed in the 

Lower Radnice Coal mire after flooding. 

Comparison of the phytocoenosis preserved in 

tuff bed at the base of the Whetstone Horizon 

in the Štilec opencast mine with coeval plant 

assemblages from the same bed in other localities 

reveals its unique character. 

Comparison of the palynological record 

from the roof of the Lower Radnice Coal with 

the taphocoenosis preserved in the “bělka” 

tuff bed overlying this coal and the allochtonous 

taphocoenosis of the laminated tuffite 

above bělka indicates a close co-existence of 

this low-diversity herbaceous phytocoenosis 

with the high-diversity lepidodendrid lycopsid 

dominating assemblage.

The precursory mire of the Middle Pennsylvanian 

(Bolsovian) Lower Radnice Coal 

was buried in situ by volcanic ash, preserving 

the taxonomic composition, spatial distribution, 

vertical stratification, and synecology of 

this peat-forming ecosystem in extraordinary 

detail. Plant fossil remains represent the preeruption 

vegetation of the swamp, which resulted 

from accumulation of peat in a high-ash, 

planar (rheotrophic) mire situated in a narrow 

palaeovalley containing an active fluvial system. 

A tuff bed (the Bělka) at the base of the 

volcaniclastic Whetstone Horizon was exposed 

in two contiguous excavations over an 

area of 50 m 2 in the Radnice Basin of western 

Bohemia, Czech Republic. Twenty-seven 

morphotaxa were identified, representing 20 

whole-plant species with a wide variety of 

growth forms. The canopy of the peat-forming 

community was dominated by Cordaites 

borassifolius trees together with the arborescent 

lycopsid “Lepidodendron” (= Paralycopodites), 

whereas Lepidophloios cf. acerosus 

was subdominant. Evidence suggests that the 

laterally extensive “crowns” of these arborescent 

lycopsids would have overlapped during 

the final phase of their life cycles, but differences 

in the height of tree species resulted in a 

complex and vertically variable canopy interrupted 

by randomly distributed gaps. The understorey 

was dominated by medullosan pteridosperms 

and marattialean tree ferns, whereas 

zygopterid ferns and sphenophylls comprised 

the bulk of the ground cover. In comparison 

with the canopy, understorey and ground 

cover species were less abundant and patchier 

in distribution, with almost complete absence 

beneath the deep shade of C. borassifolius 

trees. Lianas that entwined arborescent trees 

were an important component of the peatforming 

forest. Three lyginopterid pteridosperm 

species along with a sphenophyll had 

a lianescent habit based on their close association 

with upright or prone lycopsid trunks and 

“canopy” branches. Species richness in the 

swamp superficially appears low. However, 

considering the small area of excavation, 

along with the higher diversity known from 

the same tuff bed in the adjacent, former 

opencast Ovčín Mine, it appears that species 

richness in the forest was comparable to some 

of the less diverse Westphalian peat-forming 

swamps in the U.S.A. The Lower Radnice 

mire vegetation was compositionally homogeneous, 

but had a heterogeneous distribution 

with patchiness occurring at a very fine scale. 

The preserved plant assemblage most resembles 

mires dominated by medullosan pteridosperms 

and Paralycopodites described from 

upper Westphalian coal balls in the U.S.A., 

which were characterised by high diversity in 

all storeys and involved plants centred in highash 

peat-forming swamps.

2009, 155(3-4): 275-307 4 图版 . 

Late Stephanian and Early Permian floras 

were collected in eight localities of the Boskovice 

Basin. More than 2700 specimens were 

studied. The Carboniferous wet-type flora 

(Rosice–Oslavany Formation) is relatively 

hygrophilous with a dominance of ferns (Pecopteris 

cyathea and P. densifolia) and a 

smaller representation of sphenopsids (Annularia 

sphenophylloides). Pteridosperms and 

cordaitaleans are rare. Conifers (Ernestiodendron 

filiciforme), as drier-type elements, occur 

locally above the 1st (uppermost) coal seam of 

the Rosice–Oslavany coals together with 

many representatives of pteridosperms (medullosans, 

Odontopteris schlotheimii). This 

indicates the beginning of seasonality and 

aridisation of the climate. The Permian flora is 

dominated by conifers and is of an arid character. 

Some horizons contain a relatively high 

proportion of pteridosperms (Zbýšov, Říčany 

and Zboněk–Svitávka horizons), however, the 

species spectrum differs and the Permian pteridosperms 

are mainly represented by peltasperms 

(Autunia conferta). Ferns and sphenopsids 

are extremely rare in the Permian horizons. 

The flora reflects changes in the basin 

from relatively wet climate in the Rosice– 

Oslavany Formation to the seasonal and “dry” 

climate during the Permian. The Permian extrabasinal 

floral elements preserved in fossiliferous 

horizons grew in the basin during 

the seasonal climate. The red sediments outside 

the fossiliferous horizons are barren, presumably 

reflecting a semi-arid climate. The 

seasonality and “less” or “more” dry periods 

during the Permian are documented changes 

in diversity and dominance of the flora, and by 

cluster analysis. Using unconstrained Jaccard's 

analysis, the Carboniferous “wet-type” flora is 

clearly separated from the “dry-type” Permian 

flora. Even though the Chudčice Horizon is 

approximately in the middle of the section, it 

is placed in this analysis at the top of the dendrogram 

together with the “dry-type” floral 

clusters. This analysis reflects an aridisation 

trend rather than biostratigraphically determined 

changes. 

As a result of our excavations, 15 species 

are here for the first time reported from the 

Boskovice Basin: Pecopteris cf. bredovii, Remia 

pinnatifida, Odontopteris lingulata, Neurocallipteris 

gallica, N. planchardii, Rhachiphyllum 

aff. curretiensis, R. subauriculata, 

Dicranophyllum longifolium, Culmitzschia

A remarkable fossil assemblage—fifteen ‘in 

situ’ stumps standing at their original position—was 

explored at the opencast lignite 

mine at Bükkábrány, N Hungary. The stumps 

occupying an area of about 50 × 100 m have 

been preserved in Upper Miocene grey sands 

overlying the lignite seam. The height of the 

trunks ranges from 2 up to 5.2 m, their perimeter 

at the base reaches up to 8.8 m. The 

age of the fossil remains is estimated to about 

7 Ma according to the regional stratigraphy. 

The fossil forest is the remains of a swamp 

forest which is also corroborated by the palaeogeography 

of the fossil site as the area of 

the former Lake Pannon. Fossil leaf and fruit 

assemblages indicating the typical swamp 

vegetation in the close vicinity of Lake Pannon 

have already been reported from the site. 

Wood anatomy of some of the stumps is diagnostic 

for Taxodioxylon germanicum (Greguss) 

Van der Burgh which is related to modern Sequoia 

Endlicher and was an important element 

of peat forming vegetation during the Neogene. 

Some other stumps are comparable to 

Glyptostroboxylon Conwentz emend. 

Dolezych & Van der Burgh. The organic rich 

sediments underlying and embedding the 

stumps provided a high abundance of 

Glyptostrobus Endlicher remains, foliage, 

cones and seeds.

360-374 

The Bulgarian Palaeogene flora reveals important 

information concerning floristic transformation 

and climatic change in southeastern 

Europe. After the Eocene/Oligocene transition, 

an invasion of arctotertiary floristic elements 

took place in the European vegetation. This 

climatically forced, gradual change from a 

palaeotropical to an arctotertiary type of vegetation 

is well reflected in the Bulgarian floras. 

In the present paper, we analyze 12 palaeoflo- 

23

as covering the time span from the late Eocene 

to the early Miocene from a palaeoecological 

and palaeoeclimatic viewpoint. 

The vegetation change in the Palaeogene was 

triggered by both global climatic evolution 

and regional patterns generated by a changing 

palaeogeography. The signals from both processes 

are obviously overlapping and in some 

cases make it impossible to separate their imprints. 

Hygromesophytic forests without arctotertiary 

floristic elements still played the major 

role in the zonal vegetation in the late Eocene. 

No significant change in vegetation cover at 

the Eocene/Oligocene transition is apparent, 

and hygrophytic to hygromesophytic palaeocoenoses 

and oak-laurel forests dominated the 

palaeovegetation. Mesophytic to mesoxerophytic 

communities became important in the 

early Oligocene, along with the decrease of 

hydrophytic to hygromesophytic formations. 

A similar picture is obtained for the late Oligocene, 

but deciduous arctotertiary elements 

then reached a higher proportion for the first 

time. The climatic evolution is more or less 

consistent with the observed vegetation 

changes. Warm-temperate conditions persisted 

throughout this time span, but they show a 

cooling trend in the late Oligocene, most 

probably an imprint of global climatic cooling 

at that time. With respect to changing palaeogeographical 

patterns, the regressive trend 

during the early Oligocene is contemporaneous 

with a slight decrease in annual precipitation. 

Xerophytic phytocoenoses are reported 

from most of the sites, but climatic data supporting 

the existence of such associations are 

reconstructed only for the Bourgas and 

Borovets floras. In all the other floras, the majority 

of taxa indicate that no really dry season 

existed.

Lavas and sedimentary rocks of the Palaeogene 

Staffa Formation are exposed in the 

south-west of the Island of Mull in the Inner 

Hebrides, Scotland. Here, we present the results 

of an extensive programme of analysis of 

palynofloras from intravolcanic sedimentary 

rocks across this, the oldest part of the Mull 

Lava Field. This analysis has been allied to 

field and aerial photograph mapping, which 

have provided evidence that the earliest flows 

and sediments of the Staffa Formation were 

emplaced into two NW–SE trending fault controlled 

valleys. This extensional structural regime 

was also utilised by the NW–SE trending 

Mull dyke swarm. Early syn-depositional 

movement on graben margin faults is indicated 

by anomalously thick alluvial sediments, 

and ponded lava flows on the downthrown 

sides. Sedimentary and palynofacies data indicate 

an overall southeasterly drainage direction 

for the Staffa Formation paleo-valley system, 

the palynofloras reflecting this in increased 

dominance of mire vegetation communities, 

in the wetter, lower reaches of the 

catchment. The palynofloras are subdivided 

into four ecological groupings. Mid to late 

succession communities dominate the two 

youngest depositional sequences of the lava 

field, reflecting the filling of the valley structures, 

and the development of an increasingly 

stable environment. The youngest surface includes 

the renowned Ardtun Leaf Beds, which 

are shown to be atypical of much of the Staffa 

Formation flora, being located on a graben 

margin alluvial fan. This youngest surface also 

provides evidence for the subsequent inversion 

of the original graben structure across the 

south of the area, while active eruption continued 

in the north. Inversion is attributed to 

the emplacement of the oldest members of the 

nearby Mull Central Complex, and heralds the 

eruption of the trap-forming Plateau Group 

lavas.

A modelling approach. ( 英文 ). Soepboer 

W; Lotter A F. Review of Palaeobotany 

and Palynology, 2009, 153(1-2): 102-107 

We used a modelling approach to assess 

past landscape openness in mid-Holocene 

natural vegetation. Two simple landscape scenarios 

were modelled: a first landscape was 

based on the “Vera cycle” hypothesis for 

western Europe, including different phases of 

herbivore-induced vegetation change and regeneration, 

while a second landscape was created 

based on views how a mid-Holocene 

natural vegetation may have looked like on the 

24

Swiss Plateau according to the closed canopy 

theory. These simulated landscapes were used 

to produce pollen assemblages by means of a 

pollen dispersal and deposition model. The 

resulting modelled pollen assemblages were 

then compared to a typical mid-Holocene pollen 

record from the Swiss Plateau. Our results 

indicated that the mid-Holocene pollen record 

is likely to be the result of a closed beech forest. 

However, the vegetation cover on the 

Swiss Plateau had components from both the 

closed woodland and the wood pasture landscape 

designs, with the latter likely at frequently 

disturbed or naturally open habitats.

from 38 well preserved specimens collected 

from the Lower Coal-bearing Formation 

of Janggi Group at Donghae-myeon, Pohang 

City, Gyeongsangbuk-do Prefecture, Korea. 

Seven new taxa were found and described;

taxa are Betulaceae, Aceraceae, Ulmaceae, 

and Wataria. Except Wataria of which the 

habitat preference has not been confirmed, 

these taxa are major elements of cooltemperate 

vegetation and are similar to the 

Aniai-type flora of Japan. Previous studies of 

fossil plants from the Geumgwangdong Shale 

(leaves and seeds), the Upper Coal-bearing 

Formation (fossil woods) and the Yeonil

of plants revisited - Darwin to the 

present day. ( 英文 ). Pickersgill B. Botanical 

Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 161(3): 

203-212 

Darwin studied domesticated plants and 

animals to try to understand the causes of 

variability. He observed that variation is 

greatest in the part of the plant most used by 

humans, but explanations of the causes of this 

variation had to await the discovery of Mendelian 

genetics and subsequent advances in the 

understanding of the structure and mode of 

action of genes, from the one gene, one enzyme 

hypothesis to the role of transcriptional 

regulators. Darwin credited his studies on domesticated 

plants and animals with demonstrating 

to him the power of selection. He recognized 

two forms of human-mediated selection, 

methodical and unconscious, in addition 

to natural selection. Selection leaves a signature 

in the form of reduced diversity in genes 

that have been the targets of selection and in 

'hitch-hiking' genomic regions linked to the 

target genes. These so-called selective sweeps 

may serve now to identify genes targeted by 

selection in early stages of domestication and 

thus provide a possible guide to crop improvement 

in future. (C) 2009 The Linnean

达尔文与岛生植物 = Darwin on island plants. 

( 英文 ). Carlquist S. Botanical Journal of the 

Linnean Society, 2009, 161(1): 20-25 

Islands played a key role in Charles Darwin's 

observations and experiments on plant 

dispersal. By means of these experiments, he 

expunged the old idea that a given species 

could originate at multiple times and in multiple 

places. More importantly, by seeing the 

capabilities for dispersal of plant seeds, fruits 

and branches, he was able to develop ideas of 

how plants reach islands and thus he is one of 

the founders of plant biogeography. For facts 

regarding floristic distribution of plants, Darwin 

relied on other workers, most notably Sir 

Joseph Dalton Hooker. Among his insights 

were the differences between oceanic and continental 

islands on a floristic basis, ideas on 

how age of island and distance from mainland 

areas influenced composition of island floras, 

the nature of endemism on islands and the role 

islands and archipelagos served as stepping 

stones in dispersal. Ingenious at proposing 

hypotheses, but always respectful of facts, 

Darwin sought explanations for plant adaptations 

on islands at a time when knowledge of 

island botany was little more than floristic in 

nature. These explanations are compared with 

selected recent works in island botany. (C)

Whittington G. Review of Palaeobotany and 

Palynology, 2010, 159(1-2): 14-34 

An infilled hollow at Wester Cartmore in 

Fife has yielded 2.30 m of deposits which 

have been analysed palynologically and sedimentologically. 

The construction of an agedepth 

model is compromised by radiocarbon 

dating problems, but the high resolution record 

permits an assessment of the site within 

the palaeovegetational context of east-central 

Scotland. It has been possible to refer the deposits 

to the Devensian Lateglacial (cf. GS-2 

to GS-1) and early Holocene periods, albeit 

with caution given the confusion surrounding 

the stratigraphical and chronological terminology 

for the period. A number of revertence 

phases are recognisable in the pollen record 

and these fit test criteria for robustness as well 

as being detectable in ordination, rarefaction 

and, partly, preservation analyses. For eastcentral 

Scotland, apart from the ubiquitous 

Poaceae and Cyperaceae pollen, Juniperus is 

especially typical of warmer interludes, 

whereas Salix and Artemisia characterise the 

GS-1 (cf. Younger Dryas) event.

丹麦日德兰半岛晚渐新世至早中新世的植

Oligocene–earliest Miocene in Jylland, 

Denmark. ( 英文 ). Larsson L M; Vajda V; 

Dybkjær K. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 

2010, 159(3-4): 166-176 2 图版 . 

Two exposures in Jylland, Denmark, encompassing 

beds of latest Oligocene to earliest 

Miocene age (latest Chattian–early Aquitanian) 

yielded well-preserved palynofloras. 

The assemblages indicate that Jylland was 

covered by extensive Taxodiaceae swamp forests 

in the mid-Cenozoic. Besides a Taxodiaceae–Cupressaceae 

association, which was 

overwhelmingly dominant, other common 

plants in this habitat were Alnus, Nyssa, 

Betula, Salix, Cyrilla and Myrica. Most of the 

trees and shrubs are well adapted to swamps 

and thrive under more or less flooded conditions 

in modern bald cypress swamps of the 

southeastern North America. Vegetation composition 

indicates that a warm–temperate climate 

prevailed in Denmark during the Oligocene–Miocene 

transition. According to calculations 

using the Coexistence Approach, the 

mean annual temperature during this time 

span ranged from 15.6 to 16.6 °C. An increase 

to 16.5–21.1 °C is inferred from the palynoflora 

in the upper part of the section. The 

earlier, cooler period possibly reflects global 

cooling associated with the Mi-1 glaciation 

event at the Oligocene–Miocene boundary. No 

data from the very coldest part of the Mi-1 

event has been recorded, as this is represented 

by a gravel layer (representing a hiatus) in the 

lowermost part of the studied succession. The 

length of the missing time is not known precisely, 

but is probably in the order of some 

hundred thousand years. Correlation with the 

well-established chronostratigraphic and sequence 

stratigraphic framework for the studied 

succession reveals that the most distinctive 

change in palynoflora probably reflects a shift 

in depositional facies (due to an increase in 

sea level) rather than direct climatic change. 

The sea-level rise is herein interpreted to be 

eustatic and related to melting of Antarctic ice 

caps at the end of the Mi-1 glaciation event.

Fossil floras from three exposures of the 

Emma Fiord Formation from Ellesmere Island, 

Axel Heiberg Island, and Devon Island in the 

Canadian Arctic Archipelago fill a gap in our 

knowledge of the regional distribution of 

Viséan age plant assemblages. Plant fossils 

occur as compressions in two lithologies, calcareous 

shale and black shale, representing 

two different lacustrine depositional environments 

within a broader system of rift lakes 

that developed prior to the beginning of widespread 

Sverdrup Basin sedimentation. Calcareous 

shales from the Grinnell Peninsula of 

Devon Island preserve an in situ forest dominated 

by articulated arborescent lycopsid 

compression fossils similar to Lepidodendron 

26

veltheimii, while black shales from the Kleybolte 

Peninsula of Ellesmere Island and the 

Svartevaeg Cliffs of Axel Heiberg Island preserve 

a more diverse assemblage consisting of 

fragmentary lycopsid compressions and disarticulated 

foliage taxa similar to species of 

Rhodea, Aneimites, and Fryopsis. The Emma 

Fiord macroflora is comparable to those found 

in similar tectonic and sedimentary settings in 

Alaska, Greenland, and Spitsbergen. These 

assemblages are not as diverse as contemporaneous 

or roughly contemporaneous tropical 

lowland floras from North America and 

Europe.

of Pavullo nel Frignano (Northern Apennines,

P; Tinner W. Review of Palaeobotany and 

Palynology, 2010, 160(3-4): 32-45 

Until recently, pollen-stratigraphic research 

in the Northern Apennines (Northern Italy) 

provided only generalized pollen diagrams 

that lacked reliable chronologies, and few records 

provided complete and detailed postglacial 

sequences equipped with radiocarbon 

dates. We present a new Late-Glacial and 

Holocene pollen sequence from Pavullo nel 

Frignano in the Emilian Apennines (Modena, 

Italy). The chronology relies on AMSradiocarbon-dated 

samples of terrestrial plant 

origin. Our pollen record suggests that open 

Late-Glacial Pinus and Juniperus dominated 

woodlands were established at the site before 

14,000 cal. BP. Thermophilous trees such as 

Quercus, Ulmus, and Tilia as well as Abies 

alba expanded already during the Late-Glacial 

(ca. 14,000–13,000 cal. BP), but did not form 

closed forests. After climate cooling of the 

Younger Dryas A. alba re-expanded at the 

onset of the Holocene at ca. 11,500 cal. BP 

and remained the dominant species until at ca. 

6000–5500 cal. BP. The decline of A. alba 

was associated with a marked opening of forests, 

and the expansion of deciduous trees 

such as Fagus and Quercus. Vegetational 

composition did not change substantially during 

the past 5000 years, and cultivated tree 

taxa such as Juglans and Castanea played 

only a transient or marginal role. Although the 

vegetation history of Pavullo is consistent 

with previous investigations in the study area, 

comparison is hampered by the absence of 

other records from the same vegetational (colline) 

belt. Our pollen-inferred human-impact 

history is in agreement with archaeological 

evidence. In addition, our results suggest a 

rather close link between vegetational change 

in the Northern Apennines and the Southern 

Alps. Common features between these two 

climatically-similar regions are the initial expansion 

of thermophilous trees and Abies alba 

at ca. 13,000 cal. BP, the mid-Holocene collapse 

of A. alba (probably as a consequence of 

human disturbance) as well as the subsequent 

expansions of Quercus and Fagus.

特征 = Holocene vegetation characteristics of 

the southern Loess Plateau in the Weihe River 

valley in China. ( 英文 ). Shang X; Li X. Review 


160(3-4): 46-52 

The Loess Plateau has a varied topography 

that creates a mosaic of hydrological and soil 

microclimatic conditions, and the study of its 

vegetation characteristics has been controversial. 

Two loess–palaeosol sequences of Xindian 

and Beizhuangcun were selected at different 

topographic units in the Weihe River 

valley to reconstruct the vegetation history for 

the Holocene period using high-resolution pollen 

analysis. Herb plants typically dominated 

the Xindian region during the Holocene, and 

sparse-wood grasslands became prominent 

around 8200–7700 years BP and 5500– 

4700 years BP. Forest-grassland covered the 

area between 7700 and 5500 years BP. 

Sparse-wood grassland dominated the Beizhuangcun 

region for most of the Holocene. 

This region contained mixed coniferous and 

broad-leaved forest dominated by Pinus between 

6800 and 5300 years BP. Around 40% 

of the arboreal pollen indicates that the forest 

was relatively open with some grasses and 

shrubs. Therefore, the sparse-wood grasslands 

and grasslands were the dominant vegetation 

types in the Weihe River valley, which has the 

best hydrothermal conditions on the southern 

margin of the Loess Plateau. The forest in the 

Weihe valley only became extensively developed 

in the Holocene Optimum. Topographic 

units, terrain composition and loess thickness 

are the important factors controlling the development 

of this arboreal vegetation, along 

with temperature and precipitation.

Morphological Alterations in the Evolution of

Leaves. ( 英文 ). Sanders H; Rothwell G W; 

Wyatt S E. International Journal of Plant Sciences, 

2009, 170(7): 860-868 

Evolution of plant form proceeds through 

sequential alterations in the development of 

plant organs. Leaves (or fronds) are organs 

that have diagnostic characteristics, including 

definite arrangement on a stem, bilateral 

symmetry (abaxial/adaxial identity), and determinate 

growth. Evolution of those diagnostic 

characteristics represents a series of critical 

steps in plant evolution that resulted from specific 

developmental alterations. The fossil record 

reveals a transformational series in leaf 

evolution that highlights steps that have occurred 

in parallel but independently in both 

leptosporangiate ferns and seed plants, resulting 

in superficially similar frond morphologies. 

In this study, the fronds of the most ancient 

fossil fern, Psalixochlaena antiqua, and the 

most ancient reconstructed seed plant, Elkinsia 

polymorpha, are characterized and compared 

with leaves of modern plants in order to 

identify the sequence in which features of 

leaves in two distinct clades of euphyllophytes 

arose. While both fronds show a combination 

of characters attributable to ancestral vegetative 

axes and characters attributable to leaves, 

each plant displays different combinations of 

those characters. These data document dissimilar 

sequences of character originations 

and, therefore, the independent evolution of 

developmental mechanisms in seed plants and 

ferns

Climatic conditions of their development. ( 英 

文 ). Akhmetiev M A. Paleontological Journal, 

2007, 41(11): 1032-1039 2 图版 . 

Climatic changes in the western and central 

regions of Russian Eurasia in the Paleocene 

and in the first half of the Eocene were caused 

by the dynamics and rearrangement of the systems 

of marine seaways: the longitudinal one, 

which connected the Arctic Basin with marginal 

seas of the Northern Peri-Tethys, and the 

latitudinal one, which connected the latter seas 

with the Atlantic. As these systems were progressively 

reduced, the climate in the middle 

latitudes changed from paratropical to a subtropical 

monsoon climate with a moist summer, 

and later to a climate with a moist winter, 

and, in the Late Eocene, to a humid climate 

without any marked seasonal variation in precipitation. 

The type of flora changed in 

agreement with these changes. In the Paleogene, 

cold currents constantly influenced the 

climate of the Northwestern Pacific rim and 

facilitated the development of a warmtemperate 

mesophilic flora.

Journal, 2007, 41(11): 1068-1076 4 图版 . 

The Grünbach flora from the Grünbach 

Formation of the Grünbach-Neue Welt Basin, 

Austria, is dated to the Early Campanian on 

the basis of foraminifers found in this formation 

and marine fossils serving as stratigraphic 

markers in the underlying (Maiersdorf Formation) 

and overlying (Piesting Formation) deposits. 

The Grünbach flora enumerates 53 

species assigned to the Equisetopsida (1 species), 

Polypodiopsida (11 species), Cycadopsida 

(1 species), Pinopsida (4 species), Liliopsida 

(6 species), and Magnoliopsida (30 species). 

These plants constituted several plant 

communities, among which the following are 

more or less reliably defined: aquatic, 

swamp/semiaquatic, juglandaceous and palm 

wetland forest, riparian, and mesophytic forest. 

The Grünbach flora grew in a humid subtropical 

frost-free climate with a hot summer and a 

short and relatively dry, but not arid, period 

during the year.

Eight species of fossil plants are described 

for the first time from the Lower Carboniferous 

of the Arkhangelsk Region. One of these 

species, Adiantites lisitzynii O. Orlova et 

Jurina, is new. The taxonomic composition of 

the assemblage of 20 species indicates a 

woody vegetation of the Euramerian aspect. 

The rich assemblage recovered for the first 

time from terrigenous deposits of the Arkhangelsk 

Region dates them to the Visean 

(Early Carboniferous).

A historic collection of plant fossils from 

the Baga Formation, Bornholm, Denmark registered 

at the Lund University is reviewed and 

found to be dominated by ferns with subsidiary 

Ginkgoales, Coniferales, Bennettitales and 

Equisitales. Ten genera are represented, of 

which six can be confidently identified to species 

level. The Baga Formation flora is most 

similar in age to the flora of the Middle Jurassic 

Mariedals Formation of Eriksdal, Skane, 

although there are important compositional 

differences between these assemblages. The 

Baga flora is characteristic of the temperate 

(warm and humid) biome of the Early-mid 

Jurassic. A historical investigation reveals that 

at least four scientists contributed material to 

the collections. A palynological investigation 

made on samples from the leaf fossils reveals 

that the macroflora was most probably collected 

from the Sorthat beds as the palynoflora 

corresponds to the Pliensbachian Chasmatosporites 

Zone.

西澳侏罗纪植物群 = The Jurassic flora of 

Western Australia. ( 英文 ). McLoughlin S; 

Pott C. GFF, 2009, 131(1-2): 113-136 

Jurassic plant remains in Western Australia 

are sparse but small assemblages of impression 

fossils have been deposited in the collections 

of the Australian Museum, Sydney, over 

the past century. They reveal the presence of 

Matoniaceae and Cladophlebis sp. from the 

Cockleshell Gully Formation (Toarcian- 

Aalenian), Zamites sp. from the Dingo Claystone 

(Middle to Upper Jurassic), and Elatocladus 

confertus (Oldham & Morris) Halle, 

Pagiophyllum amanguanus sp. nov., microsporangiate 

cones, Otozamites bengalensis 

Oldham & Morris, Otozamites linearis Halle, 

Otozamites sp. and Ptilophyllum cutchense 

Morris from the Yarragadee Formation (Late 

Jurassic). The assemblages show links to eastern 

Australian, Indian and Antarctic floras of 

Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous age. The 

macrofloras generally support previous palynological 

dating of the host units, but also indicate 

broad (generic-level) similarities between 

Jurassic and Early Cretaceous floras 

across Gondwana. The macrofloras have no 

strong taxonomic or morphological signatures 

indicative of either aridity or humidity but the 

bennettitaleans have leaves intermediate in 

size between low and high latitude mid- 

Mesozoic assemblages, which favours previous 

palaeogeographic placements of Western 

Australia in the mesothermal middle-latitude 

province in the Jurassic.

暖在地球暖期借助水在欧洲中部和北部传 

播的大植物碎屑 : 关于先锋植物传播机制 

的一种假说 = Water-borne macroscopic plant 

particle transport through central and northern 

Europe during warming phases: a hypothetical 

spreading mechanism for climatic pioneers. 

( 英文 ). Kolstrup E. GFF, 2007, 129(4): 307- 

313 

This paper presents a new hypothesis on 

spreading and immigration of pioneer plants. 

It is speculated that during phases of sudden 

climate warming, seeds and other parts of 

plants were transported by rivers from central 

Europe into the North Sea and the Baltic areas 

and drifted on to surrounding shores. Some 

parts have remained in the records as macrofossils, 

while in other cases the plants are proposed 

to have continued their life cycle in the 

new areas. The principle is illustrated 

by,examples from different areas and times: 

Weichselian Lateglacial finds in NW Germany 

suggest that tree trunks were brought 

northward. For central and northern Sweden 

exceptionally strong glacio-isostatic rebound 

could have followed pronounced land surface 

depression after the ice-sheet meltings. This 

would have transformed coasts to land quickly, 

promoting the growth of seeds and plants in 

areas that are now far inland. If this hypothesis 

is valid it can explain the presence of anomalously 

early, warm vegetations in newly deglaciated 

areas. The rapidity of water-borne 

immigration following a climatic warming can 

also open up for a possibility of quick immigration 

to other former near-coast areas and 

river banks in Europe. Based on an example of 

a warmth requiring palaeovegetation at 

Vrogum in Denmark and the fact that trees 

survived in central Europe during the coldest 

part of the Weichselian it is suggested that 

short-lived, palaeobotanically hitherto unknown 

warm phases might be worth looking 

for in the terrestric records.

Journal, 2006, 40(4): 448-452 1 图版 . 

“Clarification” and ion and high-frequency 

etching of fusinite are described. These methods 

allow microscopic examination of fusinitized 

plant tissues in fine anatomical detail, 

revealing the outlines of cells, the structure of 

cell walls, the outlines of bordered pits, and, 

occasionally, even cellular microstructures. It 

is supposed that the effects of “clarification” 

and etching are caused by those optical differences 

between the composition of organic 

biopolymers that constituted the anatomical 

structures of plants that have been preserved 

in the fossil state.

Baltic amber constitutes the largest known 

deposit of fossil plant resin and the richest 

repository of fossil insects of any age. Despite 

a remarkable legacy of archaeological, geochemical 

and palaeobiological investigation, 

the botanical origin of this exceptional resource 

remains controversial. Here, we use 

taxonomically explicit applications of solidstate 

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy, 

coupled with multivariate 

clustering and palaeobotanical observations, to 

propose that conifers of the family Sciadopityaceae, 

closely allied to the sole extant representative, 

Sciadopitys verticillata, were involved 

in the genesis of Baltic amber. The 

fidelity of FTIR-based chemotaxonomic inferences 

is upheld by modern–fossil comparisons 

of resins from additional conifer families and 

genera (Cupressaceae: Metasequoia; Pinaceae: 

Pinus and Pseudolarix). Our conclusions challenge 

hypotheses advocating members of either 

of the families Araucariaceae or Pinaceae 

as the primary amber-producing trees and correlate 

favourably with the progressive demise 

of subtropical forest biomes from northern 

Europe as palaeotemperatures cooled following 

the Eocene climate

The chert has preserved a plethora of compressed 

and fragmented remains of flowering 

plants. Apart from variously sized insitu axes 

and roots in a mold-like preservation, the chert 

contains small seeds, fragments of smaller 

axes and roots in anatomical preservation, as 

well as locally thin layers of small leaves. The 

cellular preservation of the plant remains is 

hardly recognizable in thin sections under 

transmitted light, but when the slides are 

placed under epifluorescence with +violetexcitation, 

cell walls and tissues strongly contrast 

with the matrix. The chert presumably 

formed in a near-shore area of a small inland 

body of standing water.

Correlation, 2010, 18(1): 31-41 

The ecosystem reorganization of terrestrial 

vegetation in the Tunguska River basin, which 

occurred at the Permian—Triassic boundary, 

was analyzed. The taxonomic composition of 

Early Triassic floras of the Tunguska basin 

involved nearly all the main groups of higher 

plants, typical of floras of the early Mesophytic, 

which allows one to study in detail the 

dynamics of the appearance and the early evolution 

of the Mesozoic vegetation in the region. 

The reproductive organs of Gagariostrobus 

cylindricus (Prynada) Mogutcheva have been 

described in detail on the basis of the compre- 

31

hensive study of the type and new materials. 

In situ spores of Gagariostrobus cylindricus 

have been studied for the first time with the 

scanning electron microscope, and the spores 

have been characterized with an indication of 

their variation modes. The graphic reconstruction 

of the Gagariostrobus cylindricus strobilus 

has been proposed, and data on the status 

of the parent plant that produced the strobili 

have been analyzed.

macrofloral record from the South Wales 

Coalfield, UK. ( 英文 ). Cleal C J. Geological 

Magazine, 2007, 144(3): 465-486 

The South Wales Coalfield has the most 

complete Westphalian macrofloral record 

anywhere on the Variscan Foreland oradjacent 

basins, with 135 biodiversity-meaningful 

morphospecies having been recognized. All of 

the standard macrofloral biozones of the 

Westphalian Stage have been recognized, although 

a detailed comparison with the Central 

Pennines Coalfields has indicated some discrepancies 

in the relative positions of the biozonal 

boundaries. Total Species Richness progressively 

increases through the Langsettian 

Substage, and then remains relatively stable 

through most of the Duckmantian and Bolsovian 

substages. There is a distinct reduction in 

Total Species Richness towards the top of the 

Bolsovian Substage, but this partially recovers 

in the middle Asturian Substage with the appearance 

of a range of marattialean ferns, and 

medullosalean and callistophytaleans pteridosperms. 

There is no evidence of any significant 

drop in Total Species Richness towards 

the top of the succession, indicating that conditions 

at this time were relatively stable. The 

change from coastal floodplain to alluvial 

braidplain conditions in middle Bolsovian 

times correlates with a marked increase in the 

proportion of medullosalean remains being 

preserved in the adpression record, reflecting 

an expansion of the clastic-substrate habitats.

An Upper Permian permineralized plant assemblage 

in volcaniclastic tuff from the 

Xuanwei Formation, Guizhou Province, 

southern China, and its palaeofloristic significance. 

( 英文 ). Hilton J; Wang S J; Galtier J; 

Glasspool I; Stevens L. Geological Magazine, 

2004, 141(6): 661-674 

A new permineralized fossil plant assemblage 

is described from volcaniclastic tuff collected 

in the Upper Permian (Wuchiapigian to 

Changhsingian) Xuanwei Formation at Shanjiaoshu 

mine, Guizhou Province, China. The 

assemblage is fragmentary but contains a 

small sphenopsid strobilus, a partial strobilus 

of a lepidodendralean lycopsid, pinnae of the 

filicalean fern Anachoropteris and a filicalean 

non-laminate fertile pinna rachis, the marattialean 

ferns Eoangiopteris, Scolecopteris and 

Psaronius, hooked stems of probable gigantopterid 

affinity, and two kinds of cardiocarpalean 

ovules. This represents the first indisputable 

evidence of Anachoropteris from the 

Permian of China, and contrasts with previous 

evidence from Europe and North America that 

indicates this genus became extinct during 

earliest Permian times. The assemblage highlights 

the persistence of plants from wetland 

communities and mire ecosystems into the 

Upper Permian of southern China, and adds 

further support to the presence of the Ameriosinian 

phytogeographical realm. This represents 

the first record of a plant assemblage 

preserved in volcaniclastic sediments from the 

Upper Permian of southern China, and in 

combination with other recently discovered 

plant assemblages in similar deposits in southern 

China, suggests volcanism to be an important 

factor in facilitating permineralized plant 

preservation in this realm. Although the 

source of the volcanism that produced the tuff 

is unknown, its age and location are consistent 

with the Emishan Large Igneous Province 

(LIP) of southwest China.

2004, 141(6): 675-686 

Anatomically preserved plant fragments are 

reported from Devonian marine deposits exposed 

in the Dra Valley of southern Anti-Atlas, 

Morocco. Associated conodont and tentaculite 

faunas indicate that the sediments yielding 

plants, which consist of black shales with intercalated 

calcareous concretions, are early 

Frasnian in age and most probably represent 

Zone 2 of the conodont zonation. This is the 

first record of Frasnian plants in North Africa. 

The specimens found all correspond to decor- 

32

ticated portions of axes. Six are referable to 

Callixylon, the organ genus corresponding to 

anatomically preserved axes of the progymnosperm 

tree Archaeopteris. Based on wood 

characters, especially ray structure, they are 

assigned to the species C henkei, formerly 

described from the Famennian of Europe. One 

single specimen is compared to Xenocladia, a 

cladoxylopsid genus previously known from 

the Middle Devonian of Europe, USA and 

Kazakhstan. Interestingly, Archaeopteridales 

and Cladoxylopsida are two groups that dominate 

the younger plant assemblages of Famennian 

age recently described from the eastern 

Anti-Atlas. Callixylon henkei-type axes occur 

both in the Frasnian and in the Famennian deposits 

of the Anti-Atlas and they are all devoid 

of growth rings. These results are in accordance 

with a close position of Gondwana and 

Euramerica during Late Devonian times.

Shanxi, China, and its palaeofloristic significance. 

( 英文 ). Cleal C J; Wang Z Q. Geological 

Magazine, 2002, 139(2): 107-130 

A diverse assemblage of Carboniferous 

plant fossils occurs in the upper Benxi Formation 

at the Kaihuagou Section near Taiyuan, 

Shanxi, China. It consists of impressions and 

fusain fragments, the latter revealing anatomical 

details. Unlike previously published assemblages 

from the Benxi Formation, there 

are no pteridosperms, but a predominance of 

noeggerathioids and fern fragments. There are 

three new species: Achlamydocarpon taiyuanensis, 

Conchophyllum suboblongifolium, 

and the first reported example of a Selaginella 

from the Carboniferous System of China, S. 

benxiensis. The arborescent lycophytes do not 

to belong to Lepidodendron, as previously 

claimed, but to Synchysidendron, and three 

new combinations are therefore proposed for 

species from the Benxi Formation: S. galeatum, 

S. subrhombicum and S. tripunctatum. 

The Benxi Formation flora represents a transition 

between the tropical swamp vegetation 

represented in the Westphalian floras of 

Europe and North America, and the Stephanian 

and Permian Cathaysian floras of China. 

It is evidence of an essential continuity between 

the Late Palaeozoic vegetation of the 

western and eastern tropics, which should be 

united as a single phytochorion, the Amerosinian 

Realm.

Plant fossils are described from the Cuche 

Formation, Eastern Cordillera, Colombia in 

the area of Floresta. Those identified as Colpodexylon 

cf. deatsii Banks and cf. Archaeopteris 

sp. suggest an earliest Late Devonian 

(Frasnian) age for the formation. These or 

similar taxa are also found in contemporaneous 

deposits in western Venezuela, and other 

elements of the Venezuelan flora are found in 

a geographically intermediate locality. All 

three Devonian plant localities in the northwest 

of South America are within the Colombian 

Eastern Cordillera and its northern extension, 

the Venezuelan Perija Range, an area 

that has been integrated as a part of the socalled 

'Eastern Andean Terrane' or 'Central 

Andean Province', supposedly accreted to the 

autochthonous block of the Guyana Shield 

during the early Jurassic or before. Although 

both invertebrates and plants from this terrane 

have strong affinities to North American and 

European assemblages, and might be interpreted 

as implying a Laurussian origin for the 

Eastern Andean Terrane, the evidence is not 

yet unequivocal, with some authors postulating 

an in situ development of this province.

Eikland 湖的资料 = A revised late- 

Quaternary vegetation history of the unglaciated 

southwestern Yukon Territory, Canada, 

from Antifreeze and Eikland ponds. ( 英文 ). 

Vermaire J C; Cwynar L C. Canadian Journal 

of Earth Sciences, 2010, 47(1): 75-88 

Antifreeze Pond was thought to contain the 

oldest record of continuous environmental 

change in the southwestern Yukon. We have 

revised the original interpretation of the vegetation 

history of Antifreeze Pond and this region 

based on new pollen, stomate, and macrofossil 

analysis, along with 38 new accelerator 

mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dates from 

Antifreeze Pond and nearby Eikland Pond. 

Although the overall pattern of vegetation 

33

change is similar to the previously published 

Antifreeze Pond record, our new analysis indicates 

that the timing of the major vegetation 

shifts is substantially different, particularly 

during the late-glacial and early Holocene periods 

(from ~17000- 9000 cal years BP). The 

original Antifreeze Pond record was thought 

to span a mid-Wisconsinan interstadial 

(>30000 cal years BP) and the full-glacial period. 

Our results, however, indicate that the 

material of mid-Wisconsinan age was likely 

deposited by slumping around the pond making 

interpretation of the paleoenvironment 

difficult. Furthermore, our AMS 14 C dates 

show that what was thought to be a full-glacial 

vegetation record is actually the vegetation 

history of the late-glacial period (ca. 17000- 

11000 cal years BP), which was a time of 

rapid sediment deposition into the ponds. The 

Eikland Pond record has an early Holocene 

Populus rise between ca. 11000- 8000 cal 

years BP that is not present in either the new 

or original Antifreeze Pond records. This new 

interpretation of the vegetation history should 

aid comparisons to other regional paleoenvironmental 

records.

Thévenard F. Lethaia, 2009, 42(4): 393-406 

Although the faunal elements of Far East 

Asian Mesozoic terrestrial biota have attracted 

much attention in recent years, their palaeoecology 

remains poorly known. In particular, 

features of the palaeoclimate are 

highly controversial. To address this point we 

used the Mesozoic fossil wood Xenoxylon, a 

genus recognized as an indicator of wet temperate 

biotopes and which is common in the 

area during the Carnian–Maastrichtian interval. 

We re-appraised bibliographic data and gathered 

new data for Xenoxylon in the Mesozoic 

of Far East Asia. This demonstrated that previous 

taxonomic approaches to the genus have 

been so far idiosyncratic. We examined the 

anatomical diversity of morphogenus Xenoxylon 

in Far East Asia and compared it to that of 

samples from Europe. This indicates that in an 

area centred on north-eastern China, Xenoxylon 

reached a level of anatomical diversity 

unmatched elsewhere in the world. We hypothesize 

that this diversity witnesses the persistence 

of palaeoecological conditions particularly 

suitable for Xenoxylon and that a wet 

temperate climate prevailed over most of the 

area throughout the Carnian–Maastrichtian 

interval. It is in this setting that the famous 

Jehol Biota probably evolved.

Novel and diverse associations of calcareous 

dinoflagellate cysts have been discovered 

in Late Badenian (late Middle Miocene) 

coastal marine sediments within the Vienna 

Basin. Samples derive from a clay pit near 

Devínska Nová Ves, a borough of Bratislava, 

Slovakia, in which the Late Badenian lectotype 

section is exposed. Seventeen different 

taxa, many of them new and of abnormal 

morphology, have been distinguished and assigned 

to ten genera. The following seven taxa 

are newly introduced from the Devínska Nová 

Ves clay pit: four genera comprising five new 

species, i.e., Calciconus irregularis, Juergenella 

remanei, Cylindratus borzae, Posoniella 

pustulata, Posoniella campestris, one new 

varietas, i.e., Calcicarpinum perfectum var. 

poratum, and one new forma, i.e., Caracomia 

arctica forma duplicata. In addition, the following 

new combinations have been made: 

Posoniella tricarinelloides (Versteegh), Juergenella 

ansata (Hildebrand-Habel and Willems), 

and Juergenella granulata (Kohring). 

The genus Melodomuncula Versteegh is 

emended based on a new interpretation of its 

tabulation, and the genus Pirumella Bolli is 

emended because the concept used for the genus 

is not in accordance with the original description.

Fossils reported previously from the Early

Sandstone (Virginia, USA) are formally described 

here as Prattella massanuttense gen. & 

sp. nov. Organization into cellular filaments 

embedded in extracellular matrix, the sizes of 

cells and filaments and the fluvial origin of 

deposits that host the fossils are all consistent 

with cyanobacterial affinity. Prattella massanuttense 

combines preservation as carbonaceous 

compression at a macroscopic scale 

with cellular preservation by mineral replacement 

of cell contents at a microscopic scale. 

These fossils provide the earliest direct evidence 

for the occurrence of cyanobacteria in 

fluvial habitats and add to the knowledge of 

terrestrial ecosystems that hosted early stages 

of land plant evolution. (C) 2009 The Linnean

mainly composed of prolific Leiosphaeridia 

and Botryococcus. Botryococcus colonies are 

of various forms; the majority is nubbly, with 

some of cluster and cotton shape. The nubbly 

colonies appear globular, cordiform, ternate 

petal, obtuse triangle, chrysanthemum shape 

and so on. Most Botryococcus are saffron or 

brown and are frequently covered with clay 

under transmission microscope, and shows 

strong yellow and light brown under fluorescence 

microscope. Botryococcus could live in 

freshwater and brackish water. The Botryococcus 

colonies that lived in fresh water are 

small with small single cells arranged radially, 

with undulant or indented edges. The Botryococcus 

colonies that lived in brackish water 

are bigger, with larger single cells arranged 

irregularly, with slippery contours. The most 

of Botryococcus are discovered from the organic-rich 

argillaceous sediment with abundant 

pyrites in the semi- and deep-lake facies, 

and shows they were preserved in low-energy 

reducing environments. Taphonomic characteristics 

of various microfossils and the present 

of Pediastrum in the phytoplankton flora 

indicate that they are in situ or near burial. 

The lake area of the Ordos Basin was gradually 

expanding and reaching its most extensive 

flood surface in the Ch 7 of Yanchang Formation 

interval during the Middle and Late Triassic, 

with warm climate, plentiful rainfall, and 

luxuriant vegetation, as determined by the environmental 

analysis with Botryococcus in 

Xifeng area. The presence of two ecological 

types of Botryococcus indicates that the salinity 

of lake water was fluctuating in the Ch 7 

interval. The occurrence of symbiotic acritarchs 

and geochemical salinity indices show 

that the Ordos Lake was a typical fresh-water 

lake, which was gradually desalted, and its 

salinity fluctuation was narrow during the 

Mid-Later Triassic. The ecological type of the 

palynological flora discovered from the Ch 7 

to Ch 8 in Xifeng area is similar to that from 

the Fuxian Lake, with abundant Botryococcus 

in the Yungui Plateau of China. These findings 

imply that the Ordos Basin was in a 

lower-latitude area of temperate to subtropical 

climate during the Middle and Late Triassic.

The current state of the North Pacific Cenozoic 

diatom zonation is reviewed. The high 

resolution of diatom zonation is shown, which 

is comparable to that of groups of calcareous 

planktonic microfossils. The significance of 

diatom assemblages for the dating and correlation 

of various Tertiary marine sediments in 

the North Pacific is discussed. Recent examples 

of subdivision of the Oligocene-Neogene 

sequences of this region and dating of geological 

events on the zonal basis are given.

etched from the host rock with acetic 

acid. The borings are described in open nomenclature 

due to the lack of detail concerning 

cell shape and size. The assemblage indicates 

a diversity of euendoliths in the Middle 

Cambrian which can be readily compared with 

living species of Hyella and other described 

fossil Eohyella.

as biomarkers and palaeoecological indicators 

in Holocene Baltic Sea sediments. ( 英 

文 ). Westman P. GFF, 2000, 122(3): 287-292 

The relative abundances of the silicoflagellate 

Dictyocha speculum Ehrenberg and the 

ebridian Ebria tripartita (Schumann) Lemmermann 

within the total siliceous microfossil 

flora were determined in four sediment cores 

from the northwestern Baltic Sea covering the 

last c. 8,000 years, and that of Ebria tripartita 

in five short sediment cores from the southern 

Baltic Sea covering the last c. 100-200 years 

and in surface sediment samples from the 

northern and central Baltic Sea representing 

the years 1993 and 1997. In the present study 

it is shown that D. speculum has a well defined 

acme (peak) zone confined to c. 5,500- 

4,500 C-14 years BP, and it is suggested that 

this may represent the most saline phase in the 

Holocene history of the Baltic Sea. Ebria tripartita, 

on the other hand, has no distinct acme 

zone in the cores, although a slight increase in 

its relative abundance occurs c. 2.000-1,500 

C-14 years BP in the three cores covering this 

period. It is also shown that there is no coherent 

trend in the abundance of E. tripartita during 

the most recent centuries, but that the 

variations seem to be confined to periods 

when there were major changes in diatom assemblages. 

It is concluded that E. tripartita is 

useful neither as a biomarker nor as a palaeoenvironmental 

indicator in the Baltic Sea. 

It is argued that the diatom assemblages, the 

resuspension effect, year to year fluctuations 

in bloom and the patchiness of the blooms are 

the main factors controlling the relative abundance 

of E. tripartita skeletons in Baltic Sea 

sediments.

The most well preserved and diverse upper

nannofossils (coccolithophores) 

known to date is described from the Pande 

Clays, Kilwa Group, Tanzania. The assemblage 

is exceptionally diverse, with a total of 

115 species described herein, which significantly 

exceeds the current globally compiled 

nannofossil species diversity of 67 for the latest 

Eocene (NP19/20). The enhanced diversity 

observed in these sections is concentrated in 

the numerous Rhabdosphaeraceae (20 species), 

Syracosphaeraceae and holococcolith taxa (19 

species) that are unknown from any other contemporaneous 

location. Scanning electron microscope 

(SEM) studies reveal exquisite preservation 

down to the sub-micron scale in 

many of these taxa, including the architecture 

of

ather than different species and genera. 

Therefore, classifications that divide Tetradium 

into different species and genera based 

only on growth form have no biological basis. 

There is little evidence of interspecific interactions 

with Tetradium.

In order to provide a detailed dinoflagellate 

cyst stratigraphy of the Lower Aalenian 

Opalinuston Formation from the Aalenian 

type area, 68 samples from four boreholes and 

one outcrop section were analysed. The sample 

localities are Hausen an der Fils and Wittnau 

in southwest Germany, Weiach in north 

Switzerland and Mont Russelin in the Swiss 

Jura Mountains. Dinoflagellate cyst assemblages 

were recovered from the Late Toarcian 

Aalensis Zone to the Late Aalenian Murchisonae 

Zone. The samples yielded rich, wellpreserved 

and diverse assemblages with 51 

dinoflagellate cyst taxa identified in total. The 

dinoflagellate cyst distribution data obtained 

from this study allow a high-resolution biostratigraphical 

subdivision of the lowermost 

Middle Jurassic Opalinuston Formation into 

four palynostratigraphical units. First and last 

occurrences, acmes and consistent presence of 

the species Batiacasphaera sp. A, Evansia cf. 

granochagrinata, Kallosphaeridium praussii, 

Nannoceratopsis triangulata, Phallocysta

were selected as the criteria for defining these 

units. The obtained high-resolution palynostratigraphical 

scheme provides a basis for 

establishing and further refining early Middle

Members of the genus Glomites played a 

prominent role as plant mycobionts in the 

Early Devonian paleoecosystems. Remains of 

fossil fungi are studied from silicified tissues 

of the axial organs of several specimens of the 

Early Devonian Rhynia gwynne-vaughanii 

Kidston et Lang and Aglaophyton major (Kidston 

et Lang) Edwards. Among them a symbiont 

of vesicular-arbuscular endomycorrhiza, 

the fungus Glomites, is studied. The morphology 

of its mycelium, vesicles, glomoid spores, 

and sporocarps is described in detail. The information 

obtained allows the description of a 

new species, Glomites sporocarpoides Karatygin, 

Snigirevskaya, K. Demchenko et Zdebska. 

This is the third species of this genus and 

the first species with sporocarps from Devonian 

deposits. Fungal sporocarps have been 

found in both dying plant tissues and in dispersed 

plant remains. Developmental stages of 

glomoid spores are revealed. G. sporocarpoides 

is characterized by the presence of both 

symbiotic and distinct pathogenic features. 

Similarities and dissimilarities in the formation 

of ancient and modern endomycorrhizae 

are discussed.

The paper describes organic remains of one 

billion years old from the Lakhanda microbi- 

38

ota of the Uchur-Maya Region of southeastern 

Siberia. The microfossils were discovered on 

organic sapropelic films. The preserved morphological 

characters and some developmental 

stages of the ancient organisms, which are 

fixed in fossil state, suggest that some of them 

resembled zygomycetes. Other microfossils 

under consideration are comparable to reproductive 

structures of myxomycetes in the type 

of fusion of spheroid cells and formation of 

various types of aggregation (sori). Colonies 

of unicellular microfossils that are arranged in 

a branching pseudomycelium superficially 

resemble yeasts. The presence in the same 

biota of fungal remains belonging to the 

Myxomycota and Mycota, as well as members 

of xanthophyte vaucherian algae, indicates 

that various branches of eukaryotes might 

have developed in parallel even earlier than 

the Late Riphean.

Silicified fossils from Rhynie cherts in 

Scotland are studied. A lichen belonging to 

the genus Winfrenatia is detected and studied. 

This oldest terrestrial lichen is dated to the 

Pragian (=Siegenian) of the Early Devonian. 

New characters of the lichen are described, 

and their new interpretation is given. The 

main component of the lichen thallus is a filamentous 

cyanobacterium (Nostocales). Structures 

which were interpreted as fungal hyphae 

are probably hollow sheaths of this cyanobacterium. 

Mycobiont hyphae develop at the base 

of the thallus and symbiose with a coccoid 

cyanobacterium. Thus, Winfrenatia reticulata 

is a three-parted organism, constituted of a 

mycobiont and filamentous and coccoid 

cyanobacteria.

Here we describe impressions of vegetative 

and fertile organs of Equisetaceae coming 

from the Monumento Natural Bosques Petrificados 

locality, La Matilde Formation (Middle 

Jurassic), Santa Cruz Province. They are very 

frequent in tuffaceous laminated levels with 

assymmetrical ripple marks, microcrossbedding 

and bioturbations associated 

with shallow lacustrine environment. Stems 

are herbaceous, grass-like and have extremely 

small dimensions: diameter 1,3 mm, internodes 

0,9 cm long, cross section hexagonal 

with 6 carinae and valeculae and 6 leaves per 

node fused into a leaf sheath. No branching 

was observed. The material is mostly vegetative, 

but three specimens with mature strobili 

show hexagonal, verticilate sporangiophores. 

The observed characters allow us to assign 

them to a new species of Equisetites: E. minimus 

n.sp. The sterns lie parallel to the bedding 

planes or cross them suggesting life position. 

They probably grew in dense, monotypic 

communities, with an essentially vegetative 

reproduction.

Lugardonia paradoxa gen. et sp. nov., a 

new strobilus with in situ spores from the Anisian 

flora of Kühwiesenkopf, the Dolomites, 

Italy, is described. These strobili show the 

general gross morphology of a gymnosperm 

(e.g. a seed fern) inflorescence with male organs 

consisting of pollen sacs on short stalks. 

However, they yield large trilete spores (c. 

100 µm in diameter), almost circular in equatorial 

outline, with a smooth inner layer and a 

granulate–verrucate outer layer (similar to 

exospore and perispore in fern spores). These 

spores suggest a pteridophyte rather than a 

gymnosperm affinity. Because of either macromorphological 

characters or spore morphology 

(based on light microscope (LM), scanning 

electron microscope (SEM) and transmission 

electron microscope (TEM) analysis, 

most plant groups are ruled out as possible 

39

parent plants for these strobili. Only the ferns 

and seed ferns might be considered as potential 

parent plants. The possible affinities of 

these strobili within the ferns and seedferns 

are discussed in detail, with special emphasis 

on the ultrastructural features of the in situ 

spores. However, no definite conclusions can 

be drawn, although a fern affinity appears to 

be the more likely one based on spore morphology.

Dictyophyllum, a genus of the fern family 

Dipteridaceae, was widespread during the Triassic 

and Jurassic. However, the in situ spores 

are relatively poorly known. The specimens 

described here represent the first report of fertile 

fronds with in situ spores from Asia. Wellpreserved 

and compressed specimens of the 

dipteridaceous fern Dictyophyllum nilssonii 

(Brongniart) Goeppert were investigated from 

the type locality of the Hsiangchi Flora in 

western Hubei province, southern China, collected 

from the upper part of the Lower Jurassic 

Hsiangchi Formation. Sporangia and in 

situ spores were examined using light and 

electron microscopes. The sporangia are 

rounded, 300–450 µm in diameter, with an 

oblique annulus. Each sporangium produces 

220–280 trilete spores. These are triangular to 

subtriangular in outline, 40 µm in average diameter, 

with smooth exines, as well as interradial 

thickenings along the laesura situated on 

the proximal surface. The in situ spores are 

comparable to the dispersed trilete spore genus 

Dictyophyllidites. Preliminary observations 

on the ultrastructure of the in situ spores 

are reported, which supply clues for further 

investigation of the systematics and phylogeny 

of the Dipteridaceae. In addition, the ecological 

implications of Dictyophyllum and its associated 

ferns are briefly discussed.

The Gleicheniaceae is an ancient leptosporangiate 

fern family with fossil records dating 

back to the Palaeozoic. Fossil gleicheniaceous 

plants in China have received much attention 

and it has been suggested they play an important 

role for understanding the origin and evolution 

of the Gleicheniaceae. In this paper, the 

fossil diversity of gleicheniaceous plants is 

analyzed based upon systematic review of 27 

species ascribed to six genera of fossils recorded 

from the Permo-Carboniferous to Cretaceous/Tertiary 

of China. The reproductive 

structures, including sori, sporangia, annuli 

and in situ spores (including their ultrastructure) 

are especially emphasized and discussed 

in a systematic and evolutionary context. The 

palaeogeographical distribution and stratigraphical 

ranges of these fossils are investigated 

based on detailed fossil records at the 

species level. Our study indicates that fossil 

gleicheniaceous plants in China have undergone 

evolutionary processes that include origin, 

decline, recovery and radiation, during 

different episodes from the Carboniferous to 

Cretaceous/Tertiary.

A new sub-arborescent lycopsid species 

Spencerites leismanii sp. nov. is proposed for 

compression specimens yielding spores of the 

Spencerisporites-type. Macrofossils of Spencerites 

leismanii were studied as well as in 

situ spores. All specimens are from the Tlustice 

relict within the Bolsovian strata of the 

Radnice Member, Pennsylvanian. Spencerites 

leismanii is interpreted as a relatively small 

sub-arborescent lycopsid – probably more 

than 1 m high – with at least three orders of 

branching. Its sporangia are borne singly on 

peltate sporophylls, attached distally by a narrow 

base. In situ pseudosaccate trilete spores 

possess striate sculpture on the proximal and 

distal surfaces of the central body. The pseudosaccus 

is reticulate with a narrow rim on the 

margin. Spores isolated from Spencerites 

leismanii can be classified as Spencerisporites 

cf. striatus. A reconstruction of Spencerites 

leismanii is presented and palaeoecology of 

Spencerites species from the Czech Republic 

is discussed.

specimens of strobili to yield peculiar 

operculate spores of the Pteroretis-type. All 

previously reported Pteroretis-producing 

cones are petrifactions from coal-balls. Sterile 

stems associated with the cones usually have

from an unusual setting of high palaeolatitude 

in the Arctic Ocean. Azolla arctica sp. nov., 

(lower Middle Eocene, Lomonosov Ridge) is 

represented by fully developed megaspore 

apparatuses with attached microspore massulae 

and clustered and dispersed microspore 

massulae. These abundant co-occurring fossils, 

combined with their associated biota, demonstrate 

that Azolla was growing and reproducing 

on a freshwater surface of the Eocene Arctic 

Ocean. Azolla arctica is compared with 

other fossil Azolla species, especially those 

from around Arctic and Nordic Seas. It documents 

new characteristics for the genus. The 

megaspore apparatus is small with a thin 

megaspore wall and a distinctive exoperine 

where nodular exoperinal masses fuse at several 

levels resulting in a rugulate, undulating, 

punctate to foveolate exoperine surface. 

Microspore massulae have two size classes of 

glochidia, short (< 25 µm) and long (> 55 µm), 

the anchor-shaped tips lack recurved flukes. 

These distinctive characters provide the potential 

to recognise Azolla arctica as fragmentary 

remains in palynological preparations from 

drill cores. Therefore, future comparisons with 

other fossils will reveal if a single species 

grew across the Arctic Ocean and if freshwater 

spills from the Arctic spread into the Nordic 

Seas.

331-335 2 图版 . 

The specimen of Leclercqia complexa previously 

described by Geng from the Early Devonian 

Pingyipu Group of Sichuan Province, 

South China was re-investigated. The result 

demonstrated that the plant bears threedimensional 

microphylls with as many as 12 

segments and adaxial, oval-elongate sporangia, 

showing a more complicated morphology than 

any other taxon of the order Protolepidodendrales. 

Although new observations do not confirm 

the previous designation to Leclercqia, it 

is not appropriate to establish a new taxon 

based on the only single poorly preserved 

specimen.

Brinkhuis H. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 

2010, 159(3-4): 152-165 5 图版 . 

Recent Arctic drilling has revealed that the 

freshwater surface-floating heterosporous fern 

Azolla arctica Collinson et al. (Azollaceae, 

Salviniales) bloomed and reproduced in the 

Arctic Ocean on a massive scale during the 

early Middle Eocene. These blooms have been 

suggested to have been capable of significant 

drawdown of atmospheric CO 2 paving the 

way to Cenozoic climatic cooling. Sites of 

similar age across the Arctic and Nordic Seas 

also contain Azolla fossils suggestive of an 

area much larger than the Arctic Ocean being 

affected by Azolla blooms, as far south as 

Denmark. Here we investigate the Danish occurrences 

known from the Lillebælt Clay 

Formation, transitional Ypresian/Lutetian in 

age (latest Early Eocene to earliest Middle 

Eocene). The Lillebælt Clay is a marine deposit 

rich in diverse organic-walled dinoflagellate 

cysts yet conspicuously characterized by 

abundant co-occurring and interconnected 

fully mature Azolla megaspores and microspore 

massulae. Perhaps surprisingly, we find 

that multiple morphological and ultrastructural 

characters distinguish the Danish Azolla species 

from Azolla arctica and it is here described 

as Azolla jutlandica sp. nov. Therefore, 

contrary to expectations given the overlapping 

age of these assemblages, it appears that not a 

single Azolla species has spread from the Arctic 

to the Southern North Sea either through 

freshwater spills from the Arctic Ocean or as a 

result of rapid spread due to highly invasive 

biology. Apparently Northern Hemisphere 

middle and high latitude conditions near the 

termination of a period known as the Early 

Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO) were suitable 

for proliferation of two different Azolla 

species, one in the Arctic Ocean and one in 

the southern North Sea.

Structure From The Central Transantarctic 

Mountains, Aantarctica. ( 英文 ). Ryberg P

2010, 171(3): 332-344 

Permineralized reproductive structures have 

been known from Antarctica for the past four 

decades. No formal descriptions have been 

available for this material, however, leaving a 

gap in our knowledge of the glossopterid clade. 

Lakkosia kerasata gen. et sp. nov. is a multiovulate, 

megasporangiate structure found in 

silicified peat from the Upper Permian Skaar 

Ridge locality in the central Transantarctic 

Mountains. Ovules are borne in depressions 

on the adaxial surface of the megasporophyll 

and enclosed in thin strips of tissue that arise 

from the sporophyll. Transfusion tissue with 

scalariform wall thickenings is present in the 

sporophyll and may have acted as storage or 

conducting tissue. In longitudinal sections of 

the ovules, the sclerotesta forms two appressed, 

hemispherical masses of lignified 

parenchyma cells, which create the micropyle. 

Tissue of the sarcotesta overarches these parenchymatous 

masses, creating a chamber 

above the micropyle. Lakkosia is compared to 

previously described permineralized glossopterid 

structures from Antarctica, permineralized 

reproductive structures from the Bowen 

Basin of Australia, and impression material 

found in Antarctica.

Definition and A Lectotypification of the Genus 

Cooksonia Lang 1937. ( 英文 ). Gonez P;

Gerrienne P. International Journal of Plant 

Sciences, 2010, 171(2): 199-215 

The genus Cooksonia Lang 1937 includes 

some of the earliest land plants. Specimens of 

Cooksonia pertoni Lang 1937 are considered 

the earliest Eutracheophytes. The definition of 

the genus is thus central to the delineation of 

the clade. However, the generic diagnosis is 

problematic. It is not restrictive enough, and 

most of the few diagnostic characters are plesiomorphic. 

Observations on new specimens 

of Cooksonia paranensis Gerrienne et al. 2001, 

a species very close to C. pertoni, considered 

along with a compilation of the Cooksonia 

literature, allow us to propose more precise 

diagnostic characters. An allometric study was 

performed on more than 100 specimens of C. 

paranensis. This study allows discrimination 

of true morphological variations from growth 

stages. The growth habit of Cooksonia is discussed. 

An emended diagnosis including 

apomorphic characters is given for the genus, 

as well as a lectotypification of the genus and 

the type-species.

Anatomy of the Late Devonian Denglongia 

Hubeiensis, With a Discussion of the Phylogeny 

of the Cladoxylopsida. ( 英文 ). Xue J Z; 

Hao S G; Basingery J F. International Journal 

of Plant Sciences, 2010, 171(1): 107-120 

A previous study of the Late Devonian 

cladoxylopsid Denglongia hubeiensis Xue et 

Hao provided a detailed morphological description, 

while new material from the type 

locality of the Huangjiadeng Formation, 

Hubei Province, China, reported here reveals 

details of anatomy. Main axes are actinostelic 

in transverse sections, showing a primary xylem 

column with five or six xylem ribs separated 

by deep embayments. First-order axes 

have a deeply ribbed primary xylem column 

with four xylem ribs. Each stelar rib has two 

permanent, mesarch protoxylem strands near 

its periphery. Tracheids interpreted as protoxylem 

show annular or helical thickenings. 

Metaxylem tracheids have scalariform and 

elliptical bordered pits. Anatomically, Denglongia 

is more similar to the iridopteridaleans 

than to other plants in the actinostele, the peripheral 

protoxylem strands, the disintegration 

of protoxylem tracheids, and the pitting pattern 

of metaxylem tracheids. The phylogeny 

of the Cladoxylopsida was evaluated by parsimony 

and Bayesian cladistic analyses. The 

results showed that the Pseudosporochnales 

constitute a very robust monophyletic group 

supported by a suite of characters: the presence 

of arborescence; digitate branching; 

straight tips of sterile ultimate appendages; 

dissected primary xylem; elliptical to strapshaped 

primary xylem strands; and sclereids 

in the cortex. The monophyly of the Iridopteridales 

is questioned in that the previously 

suggested defining characters, whorled 

branching and peripheral protoxylem strands, 

are considered more plesiomorphic in the 

cladistic context. The relationship between the 

iridopteridaleans and the sphenophyllaleans is 

weakly supported. The Bayesian analysis recognized 

a tentative "iridopteridalean-based 

group," in which the iridopteridaleans, Denglongia, 

Metacladophyton Wang et Geng, 

Polypetalophyton Geng, and their probable 

relatives are nested within an unresolved polytomy.

亚利桑那州晚三叠世 Cynepteris 属一新

示 = A New Cynepteris from the Upper Triassic 

of Arizona: Potential Implications for the 

Early Diversification of Schizaealean Ferns. 

( 英文 ). Axsmith B J. International Journal of 

Plant Sciences, 2009, 170(5): 657-665 

Cynepteris bolichii is proposed as a new 

species of the monogeneric fern family 

Cynepteridaceae on the basis of a single, wellarticulated 

specimen from the Upper Triassic 

Chinle Formation in Petrified Forest National 

Park, Arizona. The specimen consists of an 

erect rhizome with at least eight attached 

fronds. As for the other three known 

Cynepteris species, C. bolichii pinnae exhibit 

reticulate venation and scattered, solitary, exindusiate 

sporangia on their abaxial surfaces. 

Each sporangium is ovoid to pyriform with a 

short, thick stalk and a complete, apical, caplike 

annulus consisting of a single row of cells 

surrounding a multicellular distal plate. These 

sporangial features are similar to those of several 

fossil and extant schizaealean ferns. 

Cynepteris bolichii differs from other 

Cynepteris species mainly in having oncepinnate 

fronds with abundant, elongate hairs 

on the rachises and veins. Most recent estimates 

of fern phylogeny consider the Jurassic 

fossils Stachypteris, Klukiopsis, and Klukia as 

the oldest fossil representatives of the 

Schizaeales. It is here proposed that 

Cynepteris should be considered as a probable 

Late Triassic record of the order. Features 

43

such as reticulate venation, scattered sporangia, 

and lack of fertile/sterile frond dimorphism 

are rare and scattered among other fossil 

and extant ferns currently attributed to the 

Schizaeales, underscoring the importance of 

fossils for understanding the early divergence, 

ancestral morphology, and biogeography of 

ancient plants groups like the ferns.

The present work documents the occurrence 

of Equisetum in the Upper Pliocene deposits 

of Central Mexico, describing and comparing 

fossil taxa with modern specimens. All taxonomic 

characters suggest a close affinity to the 

modern species Equisetum myriochaetum 

Schldl. et Cham. This work, which records the 

first Upper Pliocene occurrence of Equisetum 

in Central Mexico, confirms the wide distribution 

of the genus in high latitudes and more 

humid climates.

Spores in situ and problems of the classification 

of Mesozoic tree ferns. ( 英文 ). Shuklina 

A S; Polevova S V. Paleontological Journal, 

2007, 41(3): 312-318 6 图版 . 

Although tree ferns dominated the Mesozoic 

flora, their taxonomic relationships are 

poorly understood at the generic level, and 

next to nothing can be said of evolutionary 

trends within the group. At least five genera 

are recognized based on the remains of sporebearing 

structures. However, the dispersed 

spores belong to the same generalized morphotype, 

and cannot be assigned to genera 

based on macroscopic remains of fertile leaves. 

Electron microscopy of spores in situ may 

partly resolve these problems providing additional 

criteria for classification of sporebearing 

structures and disperse spores. We 

studied in situ spores of the Early Cretaceous 

Alsophilites nipponensis (Oishi) Krassilov, 

which are comparable to dispersed spores Cyathidites 

minor Coup. Spore wall micromorphology 

and ultrastructure indicate their affinities 

with the modern genus Alsophila R. 

Brown. Only occasional poorly preserved striate 

sculptures survive the standard treatment 

of maceration of the perispore. Our data confirm 

the primitive status of the species with a 

great number of spores per sporangium, thick 

unsculptured exospore consisting of two ultrastructural 

layers, and the possibility that whole 

sporangia with unshed spores can function as 

dispersal units.

A new lycopod, Novgorodendron conophorum 

gen. et sp. nov., is described from the 

Upper Visean deposits of the Kamenka River, 

near the town of Borovichi (Novgorod Region). 

The morphology of the leaf cushions of 

the new plant implies its intermediate position 

between the families Sublepidodendraceae 

Chaloner et Boureau and Lepidodendraceae 

Endlicher. The bases of the leaf cushions have 

peculiar conical appendages, a previously unknown 

morphological feature not recorded 

from other lycopods. We propose the term 

basal conical appendages for them. The interpretation 

of some epidermal elements in the 

leaf cushions of the Lepidodendraceae is revised. 

The structures of the leaf cushions that 

were previously treated as either stomata or 

cells with cystoliths are shown to be sunken 

multicellular trichomes.

dipteridaceous fern Hausmannia sinensis from 

the Jurassic of northern China. ( 英文 ). Wang 

Yongdong; Zhang Hong. Proceedings of the 

Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010, 

277(1679): 311-320 

As a representative fossil member of the 

dipteridaceous fern, genus Hausmannia was 

reported worldwide from the Mesozoic strata; 

however, little is known about the fertile 

structures, including sporangia and in situ 

spores, of this genus. In this study, a new species 

Hausmannia sinensis was identified from 

the Middle Jurassic of Nei Mongol (Inner 

Mongolia), northern China. The specimens are 

44

compressions and are well preserved with details 

of sporangia and in situ spores. The leaf 

laminae are broadly fan-shaped, with an almost 

entire margin. Primary and lateral veins 

dichotomously branch to form square or polygonal 

meshes. Each ultimate mesh bears one 

to two circular sori of 0.4 mm in diameter. 

Sori are exindusiate; each sorus contains three 

to six round to ovoid sporangia. The annulus 

is developed and oblique, with stomial region 

present in proximal position. Spores are trilete, 

circular to oval in shape. Both proximal and 

distal surfaces are covered with baculate to 

subverrucate sculptures. Spores range from 20 

to 30 μm in diameter (average 28 μm), and are 

comparable to the dispersed genera Baculatisporites 

Thomas and Pflug and Apiculatisporis 

Potonié and Kremp. Hausmannia sinensis 

represents the first compression species of 

genus Hausmannia form Eurasia, which 

shows the combination of well-preserved sori, 

sporangia, annuli and in situ spore characters, 

and is therefore helpful for further understanding 

the diversity and evolution of the Dipteridaceae 

fern lineage through time.

the Middle Devonian of North Xinjiang, 

China. ( 英文 ). Xu H H; Wang Y. Geological 

Magazine, 2008, 145(2): 295-299 

Morphology of the leaves of stem compressions 

originally attributed to Protolepidodendron 

scharyanum from the Middle Devonian 

of North Xinjiang, China is reinvestigated. 

The leaf is three-dimensional, consisting of 

one central abaxial segment and four lateral 

adaxial segments, and does not conform to the 

once bifurcate leaf of Protolepidodendron. 

Specimens are therefore transferred to Leclercqia 

cf. L. complexa. This is the first unequivocal 

report of the genus Leclercqia in 

China based on complete leaf morphology. 

The distribution of Leclercqia is discussed, 

demonstrating a more or less cosmopolitan 

genus in the Middle Devonian. The Middle 

Devonian flora of North Xinjiang shows great 

similarity to that of Venezuela and North 

America, and almost no relationship with that 

of Yunnan, South China.

Thomas B A. Geological Magazine, 2007, 

144(3): 457-463 

A summary is given of the lycophyte species 

as distributed in fifteen Euramerican coalfields 

during Asturian (Westphalian D) times. 

The datasets from the coalfields are analysed 

using unweighted pair group cluster analyses 

of Jaccard's Coefficients. Separate analyses 

were done on the full dataset (the full list of 

morphospecies) and on a more restricted dataset 

(only the morphospecies of vegetative organs). 

Three groupings of coalfields were resolved 

in the analyses. The two most clearly 

defined groupings represented the intramontane 

basin coalfields, and the coalfields of the 

lowland basins on the Variscan foreland 

where the lycophyte floras are well documented. 

The third grouping included those 

basins with less well-studied lycophyte floras, 

where the apparently low species diversity has 

undoubtedly affected the results. More work is 

needed on these poorly documented floras to 

produce a more rigorous phytogeographical 

analysis.

Gerrienne P. Geological Magazine, 2003, 

140(2): 119-130 

Abundant and well-preserved material of 

the ligulate lycopsid genus Leclercqia is reported 

from a new Middle Devonian locality 

in northeastern Queensland (Australia). The 

plants occur in a chert horizon in the Storm 

Hill Sandstone of the Dosey-Craigie Platform. 

Lithological data and conodont analyses combined 

with information from in situ spores 

provide an age for the plant levels ranging 

from Eifelian, possibly Middle Eifelian, to 

Early Givetian. Plant taxonomic identification 

is based on vegetative and fertile stems that 

display both external morphology and anatomy. 

This material represents the best documented 

occurrence of Leclercqia outside Laurussia 

and possibly the earliest in Gondwana; 

it provides evidence that colonization of 

Gondwana by the species L. complexa was 

45

contemporaneous to that of Siberia and Kazakhstan. 

Analysis of the distribution patterns 

of L. complexa suggests that it was adapted to 

a wide range of environments, but within certain 

limits which we hypothesize to be those 

of a climatic belt. Such considerations support 

previous studies using other biological data, 

such as faunas and palynomorphs, for reconstructing 

Devonian palaeogeography. They 

favour a close proximity of Laurussia and 

Gondwana rather than the occurrence of a 

wide ocean separating the two palaeocontinents 

in Middle Devonian times.

Fossil plants are described from the upper 

part of the Devonian Lolen Formation, Sierra 

de la Ventana, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, 

in the area of Estancia Las Acacias. The 

sequence is composed mainly of dark grey 

shales, and fossils were found in a single horizon 

where thin inter-layered beds of fine reddish-brown 

micaceous sandstones appear 

where the environment of marine deposition 

became more shallow. The age of the Lolen 

Formation is presently established on the basis 

of brachiopods, these being characteristic 

elements of the Malvinokaffric realm from the 

Gondwana Lower Devonian (Emsian). The 

fossil plants are remarkably preserved given 

that they are in rocks that have undergone intense 

deformation. The plants are identified as 

Haplostigma sp. and Haskinsia cf. H. colophylla, 

and suggest a Middle Devonian age 

(Givetian) for the fossil-bearing levels. 

Haskinsia, identified on the basis of leaf morphology, 

is the first well-delimited Middle 

Devonian lycopsid genus described from Argentina, 

and the record from the most southerly 

palaeolatitude. During the Middle Devonian, 

Haskinsia was distributed in tropical, 

warm temperate and high southern latitude, 

cool temperate zones.

Although there are many reports of fossil 

Ephedraceae, whole plant fossil record remains 

rare. Due to a lack of trust on partially 

preserved fossil materials, scholars working 

on molecular clock proposed a recent origin of 

Ephedra and cast doubt on the earlier origin

on this interesting group, here we 

report whole plants of Ephedra hongtaoi sp. 

nov. (Ephedraceae, Gnetales) from the Yixian 

Formation (Early Cretaceous) in western 

Liaoning, China. These whole plants of 

Ephedra demonstrate clearly the characters of 

Ephedra, including shrubby growth habit, decussate 

branching pattern, and terminal ovuliferous 

unit with micropylar tube. The wholeplant 

preservation of the fossils provides more 

convincing fossil evidence of Early Cretaceous 

Ephedra, helps to resolve the controversy 

over the origin time of Ephedra, and 

sheds light on the whole plant morphology, 

growth habit, ecology and evolution of 

Ephedraceae.

Pennsylvanian of Iowa. ( 英文 ). Raymond A; 

McCarty R. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 

2009, 156(3-4): 283-306 11 图版 . 

A new species of medullosan ovule, 

Pachytesta crenulata, is described from the 

latest Atokan–earliest Desmoinesian (early 

Moscovian) of Iowa. The ovule is approximately 

5.5–6 cm long and 2.4–3 cm wide at 

the mid-point with three commissured primary 

ribs, three secondary ribs expressed at the 

apex, and a large number of sclerotesta ridges 

(18–24 between each primary rib-secondary 

rib pair), formed from interwoven bands of 

fibers. The micropyle, defined by the epidermal 

cuticle of the endotesta, is flared at the tip 

and triangular in cross section. A collar of 

sclerotesta and sarcotesta, 10 mm tall surrounds 

the micropyle. The space enclosed by 

the collar is a triangular prism, with a primary 

rib at each edge and sides approximately 

2.3 mm in length. The space between the micropyle 

and the sclerotesta–sarcotesta collar 

appears to have been filled with thin-walled 

endotesta cells. At the ovule apex, lobes of 

sarcotesta associated with the primary ribs 

partially occlude the top of the collar, forming 

a triangular opening with the flared tip of the 

micropyle in the center. Pachytesta crenulata 

appears most similar to P. composita and P. 

illinoensis. All three ovules have tertiary ribs 

or ridges and secretory fibers in the sclerotesta; 

in both P. illinoensis and P. crenulata a collar 

of sclerotesta and sarcotesta surrounds the micropyle. 

Based on these similarities, we place 

P. crenulata in Taylor's [Taylor, T.N., 1965. 

Paleozoic seed studies: a monograph of the 

American species of Pachytesta. Palaeontographica, 

Stuttgart] P. composita–P. illinoensis 

group. The condition of the sclerotesta and 

nucellar stalk of P. crenulata may indicate its 

developmental stage. Ovules having hollow 

fibers in the sclerotesta and nucellar stalks 

with a convex profile appear immature relative 

to ovules with filled fibers in the sclerotesta 

and deeply invaginated nucellar stalks. 

Although the pollination and fertilization 

status of most P. crenulata ovules remains 

equivocal, one mature ovule probably was 

pollinated. All of the immature ovules showed 

signs of seed predation.

Recent expeditions to the Early Permian 

formations of Jambi, Sumatra, have produced 

material of a new species of peltasperm affinity, 

Comia variformis nov. sp., with a re- 

47

markably broad morphological range that 

touches on several other Permian taxonomic 

groups. It is found in association with material 

attributable to the callipterid genus Rhachiphyllum, 

in addition to Supaia-like material 

and an Autunia fructification, corroborating a 

peltasperm affinity. 

Palaeogeographic relationships of the morphologies 

found in C. variformis and the other 

material show strong relationships with North 

China and even the Angaran region, suggesting 

a migration zone running from the North 

China Block to the West Sumatra–West 

Myamar terrane.

Newly collected Rhaetian plant compressions 

of the seed fern Ptilozamites nilssonii

Greenland, revealed both simple and forked, 

unipinnate and bipinnate morphologies, indicating 

a closer relationship between the genera 

Ptilozamites Nathorst 1878 and Ctenozamites 

Nathorst 1886 than previously documented. 

Cuticle analysis revealed micromorphological 

traits typical of simply pinnate P. nilssonii on 

bipinnate leaf forms, yet up until the discovery 

of this material Ptilozamites has never been 

considered bipinnate. In 1886, the genus 

Ctenozamites was erected for species similar 

in epidermal characters to Ptilozamites, but 

presenting a typical bipinnate character, rarely 

or never unipinnate. As the new Greenland 

material collected from South Tancrediakløft 

and Astartekløft have shown, both genera are 

now very strongly related anatomically, and 

therefore identical from a systematic point of 

view. We therefore propose the use of the genus 

Ptilozamites as Ctenozamites Nathorst 

1886 is a synonym of Ptilozamites Nathorst 

1878.

Three species of articulated foliage-bearing 

shoots of Annularia Sternberg are described 

from the Barakar Formation (late Early Permian–late 

Artinskian) of the Saharjuri Basin, 

eastern peninsular India. Annularia gondwanensis 

sp. nov. is preserved in growth position 

with branches emerging from a vertical 

carbonized axis. The leaves, branches and axis 

of A. gondwanensis have preserved cuticles. 

Annularia sp. and Annularia kurtzii Archangelsky 

are preserved as impressions. The 

Annularia species together with diverse 

sphenopsids occur in a typical Gondwanan 

assemblage dominated by glossopterids. This 

late Palaeozoic Euramerian–Cathaysian genus 

was earlier known from the Lower Permian of 

various region of the Gondwana continent viz., 

Brazil and Argentina in South America, the 

Karoo Basin in South Africa and western extra-peninsular 

India. Now the biogeographical 

range of distribution of Annularia extends up 

to the eastern peninsular India in the Gondwana 

continent. The palaeoclimate, palaeoecology 

of the Saharjuri Basin in eastern 

India is discussed considering the records of 

diverse sterile and fertile sphenopsids and Annularia 

in growth position together with the 

upright Glossopteris plants, other glossopterid 

members in the upper Lower Permian.

The gigantopterids are a pan-palaeotropical 

Late Palaeozoic (to Early Mesozoic) plant 

group with unknown affiliations. Two gigantopterid 

species, both sole representatives of 

their respective genera, are known from the 

Early Permian Mengkarang Formation of 

Jambi (Sumatra, Indonesia). Through an 

emendation of the Jambi gigantopterids, based 

on the old and newly collected material, and a 

subsequent analysis of the leaf morphology of 

several gigantopterid genera, we conclude that 

the Jambi species are similar to the other gigantopterids, 

but do not appear to be related to 

them directly. We propose a possible scenario 

48

for the evolution of gigantopterid leaf morphology, 

based on marginal leaf growth, with 

implications for the validity of the gigantopterids 

as a natural group. (C) 2009 The Linnean

下石炭世种子蕨类 Calamopitys 的次生生 

长和茎组织的变形 = Secondary Growth and 

Deformation of Stem Tissues in the Lower 

Carboniferous Seed Fern Calamopitys. ( 英文 ). 

Masselter T; Rowe N; Galtier J; Speck T. International 

Journal of Plant Sciences, 2009, 

170(9): 1228-1239 

Some Carboniferous seed ferns undergo 

extensive secondary growth, with secondary 

vascular tissues occupying increased space 

within the axis. Mechanisms of accommodating 

secondary growth in the stem cortex vary 

significantly between different seed ferns and 

depend on the degree of secondary growth and 

position of secondary tissues relative to the 

cortex. Cortical tissue adjacent to the secondary 

vascular cylinder is often highly deformed, 

whereas primary cortex tissue farther 

away from the secondary growth may be less 

strained. Developmental patterns of primary 

and secondary tissues are observed in two 

species of Calamopitys from the Lower Carboniferous 

and are compared with patterns of 

the Upper Carboniferous "pteridosperm" Lyginopteris 

oldhamia. Calamopitys embergeri 

and Calamopitys schweitzeri show different 

organizations, development, and deformations 

of the cortex compared with Lyginopteris. The 

main differences include (1) retention of a 

massive cortex in relation to the degree of development 

of the vascular cambial tissues, (2) 

cortical deformation confined to areas around 

the periphery of the vascular cylinder rather 

than toward the periphery of the stem, and (3) 

absence of a discrete periderm layer. Our findings 

also indicate that cambial growth in 

Calamopitys was capable of producing relatively 

large cylinders of vascular tissues 

within the primary body without causing a 

sloughing of the outer cortex.

China. ( 英文 ). Seyfullah L J; Hilton J; Wang

Sciences, 2009, 170(6): 814-828 

Pteridosperms are common in the Permian 

floras of China and are known from both 

vegetative and fertile organs in adpression 

assemblages and as dispersed ovules and 

seeds in permineralized assemblages. In contrast, 

reports of vegetative organs from permineralized 

assemblages are limited, and in all 

cases, accounts have not been verified by detailed 

descriptions nor illustration. Here we 

report four taxa of pteridosperm stem or rachis 

from the Permian permineralized floras of 

China. Coal balls from the Asselian- 

Sakmarian (Cisuralian) Taiyuan Formation are 

shown to contain specimens of a medullosan 

and a lyginopterid pteridosperm. The medullosan 

rachis has a distinctive collateral organization 

of vascular bundles interspersed within 

a crushed parenchymatous ground tissue that 

also has scattered resin ducts, and it is identified 

as Myeloxylon Brongniart. The lyginopterid 

has a vitalized protostelic stem with 

manoxylic secondary xylem and mesarch xylem 

maturation and is confirmed as Heterangium 

sp. 1. From volcaniclastic tuffs from the 

Wujiapingian-Changhsingian (Lopingian) 

Xuanwei Formation, a eustelic stem with a 

parenchymatous pith surrounded by discrete 

primary xylem strands with a large amount of 

secondary xylem and a sparganum-type cortex 

is attributed to the Callistophytalean Callistophyton 

Delevoryas and Morgan. Finally, from 

the Changhsingian (Lopingian) Wangjiazhai 

Formation, another lyginopterid is documented 

that comprises a pair of protostelic 

stems with manoxylic secondary xylem and 

mesarch xylem maturation and is assigned to 

Heterangium sp. 2. Although accounts are 

based on low specimen numbers, they provide 

unequivocal evidence of vegetative pteridosperm 

genera in the Permian of China that 

were previously known only from the Pennsylvanian 

and earliest Permian of Euramerica. 

In this context, they underline the floristic 

continuation of wetland plant communities 

extending from the Carboniferous of 

Euramerica into the Cisuralian-aged peatforming 

mires in North China and the Lopingian 

of South China. Extending the geographical 

and stratigraphical ranges of these 

pteridosperm taxa means that each should now 

be considered as potentially important to seed 

plant evolution and phylogeny during the 

Permian as well as the Carboniferous.

Roots From the Late Permian of Antarctica: A 

Change in Developmental Timing. ( 英文 ). 

Decombeix A L; Taylor E L; Taylor T N. International 


170(5): 644-656 

Permineralized Vertebraria roots from the 

late Permian of the Central Transantarctic 

Mountains, Antarctica, re investigated to understand 

the unusual vascular anatomy of the 

genus. The specimens range from similar to 1 

mm to several centimeters in diameter and 

illustrate all the stages of secondary growth. 

Our observations confirm previous hypotheses 

on the development of these roots and suggest 

that their unique anatomy is the result of a 

change in developmental timing. Vertebraria 

is characterized by a vascular cambium that 

remains discontinuous through several growth 

seasons, leading to the formation of lacunae 

alternating in cross section with wedges of 

secondary vascular tissues. The bifacial nature 

of the cambium is confirmed by the presence 

of well-developed secondary phloem composed 

of longitudinally elongated cells and 

uniseriate parenchymatous rays. In some of 

the largest specimens, a continuous vascular 

cylinder is formed by the differentiation of 

cambium from parenchymatous cells bordering 

the lacunae. The new specimens provide 

additional information on the secondary xylem 

anatomy and vascular connection to lateral 

roots.

Seed Plant. ( 英文 ). Cleal C J; Shute C H; Hilton 

J; Carter J. International Journal of Plant 

Sciences, 2009, 170(5): 666-698 

Historically collected specimens of the 

Pennsylvanian pteridosperm Eremopteris artemisiaefolia 

have been reinvestigated to provide 

detailed information on its morphology 

and cuticular anatomy and to enable some of 

the external features of the plant to be reconstructed. 

The stem bore a distal crown of helically 

arranged compound leaves that show 

evidence they were actively abscissed from 

the plant. The blade consists of a main rachis 

that is straight or curved and may be undivided 

or show a single overtopped or occasionally 

dichotomous division. Secondary 

foliar segments are once or twice divided, 

with ultimate segments consisting of an elongate 

lanceolate blade, sometimes with one or 

two pairs of suboppositely arranged basal 

lobes or subsegments. Dense parallel veins run 

along the ultimate segments and only rarely 

fork. Stomata occur on both surfaces of the 

blade but more densely on the abaxial surface; 

papillae surrounded the abaxial stomata but 

not the adaxial ones. Remains of platyspermic 

bicornute ovules with a commissural rib in the 

minor plane are repeatedly associated with the 

leaves; these conform to the fossil genus Cornucarpus. 

Ovule cuicles include an inner integumentary 

cuticle, a nucellar cuticle that is 

attached only to the base of the inner integumentary 

cuticle, and a seed megaspore membrane. 

The nucellar apex comprises a small 

pollen chamber and extended nucellar beak 

consistent with cardiocarpalean ovules. Ovate 

structures on the main rachis and proximal 

parts of the secondary rachises are consistent 

in size with the ovule chalaza and are interpreted 

as the place of ovule attachment. Inclusion 

of our reconstruction of E. artemisiaefolia 

in a cladistic analysis of lignophytes suggests 

that it represents a distinct clade within a 

paraphyletic complex of basal pteridosperms 

and that it diverges after hydrasperman and 

medullosalean taxa and before the Callistophytales. 

The family Cornucarpaceae is redefined 

for this clade.

Auritifolia waggoneri gen. et sp. nov. has 

compound leaves and is possibly a peltasperm, 

with venation similar to Comia Zalessky. The 

frond is once pinnate, >40 cm in length, with a 

short petiole, subopposite pinnae, increasing 

in size distally, terminating in two elongate 

pinnae. The petiole base is swollen. Fronds 

probably abscised upon senescence. Venation 

is three ordered, each higher order of progressively 

smaller diameter. Pinna midveins arise 

from the main rachis and give rise to secondary 

veins. Two types of tertiary veins are 

present. One type arises from the secondaries 

and forms fascicles; the other type is interfascicular 

and arises directly from pinna midveins. 

All tertiaries are of the same diameter. 

Tertiary veins dichotomize, anastomose, and 

may terminate in blind endings, so not all ex- 

50

tend to the laminar margin. Laminae are amphistomatic. 

Monocyclic stoma are surrounded 

by five to six subsidiary cells. Epidermis 

and palisade parenchyma are uniseriate. 

Auritifolia is most similar to Comia in which 

the tertiaries lack anastomoses and blind endings 

and terminate at the laminar margin. The 

leaf architecture of Auritifolia differs significantly 

from that of Comia. (Russian and Chinese

Comia is a widespread foliage morphogenus 

of probable seed plant affinity primarily 

known from rocks of Late Permian age, in the 

Angaran and Cathaysian paleobiogeographic 

regions. It also occurs in the Early Permian of 

the western Euramerican equatorial paleobiogeographic 

region. Vegetative features and 

consistent association with peltaspermous reproductive 

organs suggest affinity with the 

Peltaspermales. New material from northcentral 

Texas allows two new species to be 

attributed to this genus, Comia greggii and 

Comia craddockii. Both species are uncommon 

elements of the Early Permian ( Leonardian-Artinskian) 

flora. They exhibit a diagnostic 

form of venation typical of Comia 

and allied forms, in which the tertiary veins 

form fascicles and interfascicular groups. Ultimate 

veins extend from their insertion point 

to the laminar margin, usually with one dichotomy. 

They neither anastomose nor terminate 

in blind endings. In gross architecture, C. 

craddockii is once pinnate. The morphology of 

the frond of C. greggii is not known. The 

much wider, more finely veined laminae of C. 

greggii are clearly distinguishable from the 

narrow pinnules with coarser venation of C. 

craddockii. ( Russian and Chinese translations

Phylloclades from the Upper Permian

of a planate scale-leaved shoot into 

a foliar organ, are assigned to the new genus 

Permophyllocladus (Peltaspermales). The 

phylloclades are distinctly dorsoventral: scaly 

leaves and their rudiments are developed on 

the lower side and are only marked by suture 

lines on the cuticle of the opposite side. In 

epidermal characteristics, the phylloclades are 

51

similar to the leaves of peltasperms from coeval 

deposits. It is supposed that peltasperm 

leaves are of phylloclade origin and were 

formed by cohesion of units of a coniferoid 

scale-leaved shoot that resembles shoots of the 

Mesozoic family Hirmerellaceae (Cheirolepidiaceae), 

which also tend to develop phylloclades.

This paper provides a whole plant concept 

for a new species, Emporia cryptica sp. nov. 

Hernandez-Castillo, Stockey, Rothwell & 

Mapes (Emporiaceae: Voltziales), the fourth 

conifer to be reconstructed from the rich fossil 

biota at the Late Pennsylvanian, Hamilton 

Quarry, Kansas. E. cryptica has an orthotropic 

stem, lateral plagiotropic branches with simple 

leaves, simple pollen cones, and compound 

ovulate cones. Branches have an endarch eustele 

with dense wood surrounding a parenchymatous 

pith with sclerotic nests/plates, and 

secondary xylem tracheids with multiseriate 

hexagonal bordered pits. Leaves on both penultimate 

and ultimate branches are simple 

and amphistomatic with two adaxial stomatal 

bands, monocyclic and dicyclic stomata, and 

two narrow abaxial rows of stomata with numerous 

trichome bases. Pollen cones are simple 

with helically arranged microsporophylls 

and adaxial pollen sacs. Prepollen is monolete, 

eusaccate, and monosaccate (Potonieisporites 

Bharadwaj). Ovulate cones are compound 

with bilaterally symmetrical dwarf shoots in 

the axils of helically arranged forked bracts. 

Axillary dwarf shoots bear numerous sterile 

scales interspersed with two megasporophylls, 

each bearing a single inverted terminal ovule. 

This plant displays morphological and cuticular 

characters similar to several morphogenera 

of Paleozoic walchian conifers but is most 

comparable to the fossil plant species Emporia 

lockardii and Hanskerpia hamiltonensis. E. 

cryptica is the only walchian conifer where 

ovules and seeds with megagametophytes, 

immature embryos and mature embryos have 

been documented, demonstrating that the most 

ancient conifers possessed seed dormancy and 

polycotyledonary embryos. This reproductive 

biology is similar to that of many Mesozoic 

and extant conifers with saccate pollen except 

for the presence of prepollen grains that are 

common among Paleozoic walchian conifers.

Strap-shaped foliage previously assigned to

as Nilssoniopteris oishii sp. nov., 

based on structurally preserved foliage from 

the Barremian Arida Formation in Yuasa District, 

Wakayama Prefecture, southwest Japan. 

The newly assigned bennettitalean affinity of 

the fossil was confirmed with its cuticular 

morphology exhibiting paracytic (syndetocheilic) 

stomata, and rachis anatomy. Rachis 

vascular bundles are basically arranged in a 

circular form, which is dissected at both lateral 

sides for the pinna trace departure. This 

vascular configuration is similar to those of 

other bennettitalean genera and different from 

inverted-omega-shaped or C-shaped vascular 

configuration in the Cycadales. N. oishii is 

most abundantly found in the Ryoseki-type 

fossil assemblages which flourished under the 

dry conditions. This study clears the discrepancy 

between the abundance of “Nilssonia ex. 

gr. schaumburgensis” under dry climates and 

the general climatic preference of Nilssonia 

species to humid conditions.

family to four distinct types of cuticle in ultrastructural 

level: subsidiary cells, guard cells, 

epidermal cells with and without papillae. 

Based on 30 measurements the statistic approach 

on each type of cell cuticle, i.e. not 

only the total thickness of the cuticle but also 

details and proportions of all different layers. 

A key is provided using a combination of 7 

significant ultrastructural characters. These 

results seem to be very promising for the identity 

of each taxon within the Cheirolepidiaceae 

family. The cuticular ultrastructure of this 

family is characterized by having a cuticle 

proper A composed of A1 wavy polylamellate 

layer and A2 granular layer, above the cuticular 

layer B with B1 fibrillate and B2 granular 

layers. The importance of ultrastructural characters 

at different levels of taxonomy and palaeoecology 

is also discussed.

Antarcticycas plant. ( 英文 ). Hermsen E J; 

Taylor E L; Taylo T N. Review of Palaeobotany 


108-123 5 图版 . 

The Antarcticycas plant is reconstructed 

from the co-occurring vegetative organ taxa 

Antarcticycas schopfii and Yelchophyllum 

omegapetiolaris and the pollen cone taxon 

Delemaya spinulosa from permineralized peat 

of the Fremouw Formation, early Middle Triassic 

of Antarctica. The association of the organs 

in the same deposit, assignment of each 

taxon to Cycadales, and histological features 

shared among the taxa suggest they were all 

produced by the same plant. The Antarcticycas 

plant is reconstructed as a small plant, 

possibly with a subterranean stem; it was 

probably similar in habit to small-stemmed 

species of extant Zamia. Antarcticycas stems 

are inferred to exhibit apical rather than axillary 

branching based on reinterpretation of 

type material that shows a branching axis accompanied 

by anatomy indicative of the presence 

of cone domes when observed in extant 

cycads. The presence of a bulbil on one 

specimen indicates that branching also took 

place through adventitious budding. The Antarcticycas 

plant is similar in its anatomy to 

extant cycads, although contractile tissue and 

coralloid roots have yet to be identified and 

may not have been present in the fossil plant. 

The plant inhabited a warm temperate polar 

habitat with protracted periods of winter darkness 

for which there is no modern equivalent. 

Evidence for deciduousness in this taxon, previously 

suggested as a possible adaptation to 

its warm, light-limited environment, is 

equivocal. The possibilities that fire played a 

role in the Fremouw peat ecosystem and that 

the Antarcticycas plant may have been insect 

pollinated are explored.

139-149 

We present a range-wide synthesis of our 

own research and related work on the complex 

postglacial history of Abies alba Mill. It is 

based on macroremains, fossil pollen records 

as well as on different genetic markers. The 

geographic distribution of genetic lineages and 

allele frequencies together with the fossil records 

confirm multiple refugia with at least 

three of them being sources for the Holocene 

range expansion into Central Europe, representing 

so-called effective refugia. One is located 

in the northern Apennines. A long-term 

refugium in the southern Balkans contributes 

to northward expansion with a branch along 

53

the Carpathians in the East and the Dinaric 

Alps in the West. Furthermore, new allozyme 

data indicate a third effective refugium in the 

northern or western Balkans, respectively. Using 

different genetic marker categories the 

differentiation of A. alba populations could be 

attributed to different time scales. A separation 

of maternal lineages took place in previous 

glacial cycles of the Quaternary, while a 

second pattern of genetic differentiation is the 

result of isolation processes during the last 

glaciation and subsequent gene flow after 

range expansion. Suture and introgression 

zones of refugial gene pools were clearly recognised. 

The patterns of genetic variation and 

genetic diversity spanning between rear and 

leading edges of the present range are discussed 

for evolutionary implications and conservation 

strategies.

Fossil remains of Taxodium from upper Eocene 

to lower Miocene localities in Germany, 

the Czech Republic and Russia are investigated 

to reconsider taxonomic concepts. It is 

demonstrated that all material belongs to one 

species which is named Taxodium dubium 

(Sternberg) Heer emend. Using the wholeplant 

concept, T. dubium is considered as a 

synthetic species comprising foliage, seed 

cones, seeds, and male cones with pollen in 

situ. Shared identity of T. dubium and the 

wood morpho-taxon Taxodioxylon taxodii 

Gothan is assumed. Taxodium dubium underwent 

evolutionary changes through the Oligocene 

expressed mainly in changes of the cone 

scale ornamentation. To designate this intraspecific 

variation taxonomically two morphoformae 

are distinguished: T. dubium forma 

heerii (Dorofeev) Kunzmann, Kvaček, Mai et 

Walther stat. nov. et emend. and T. dubium 

forma dubium. Simultaneous intraspecific 

variations in leaf morphology and leaf epidermal 

anatomy are missing. Taxodium 

dubium occurs from the late Eocene to late 

Miocene in the (Atlantic-) Boreal province 

sensu Mai of Central Europe and from the late 

Oligocene to late Pliocene in the Transeuropean 

Paratethys province sensu Mai.

Upatoia barnardii gen. et sp. nov., a conifer 

pollen cone from the I-ate Cretaceous (Santonian) 

Eutaw Formation of Upatoi Creek, 

Georgia, USA, is known from lignified and 

fusainised mesofossils that preserve its threedimensional 

structure. The cone consists of 

numerous helically arranged microsporophylls, 

each composed of a thin stalk and distal lamina. 

Three elongate pollen sacs are attached to 

the base of the lamina. Pollen grains isolated 

from the pollen sacs are relatively large (52 - 

75 mu m), spheroidal to ellipsoidal in outline, 

lack sacci, and have a thickened equatorial 

exine that is often strongly folded. Pollen of 

Upatoia barnardii indicates a close relationship 

to extant Araucariaceae. Microsporophylls 

of U. barnardii confirm suggestions 

from previous studies of fossil material that 

some Mesozoic Araucariaceae had only three 

pollen sacs per microsporophyll, in contrast to 

extant species that often have more than ten 

pollen sacs per microsporophyll.

94-111 6 图版 . 

The Bennettitales are a Mesozoic group of 

gymnosperms with complex reproductive organs 

that figure prominently in hypotheses on 

the ancestry and origin of angiosperms. However, 

the exact phylogenetic position of the 

Bennettitales is still debated, due in part to the 

scarcity of conclusive fertile remains from the 

Triassic. In this study we reconstruct a bennettitalean 

flower from isolated parts from the 

Carnian (Upper Triassic) of Lunz in Lower 

Austria, including Cycadolepis wettsteinii 

scale leaves, Haitingeria krasseri pollen organs, 

and Bennetticarpus wettsteinii ovulate 

organs/seed cones, based on correspondences 

in gross morphology and epidermal anatomy. 

The flower has small pollen organs with 

54

spreading and well-exposed pollen sacs; pollen 

sacs are not organised in synangia, and the 

ovulate organ is characterised by a low number 

of relatively large seeds and a large number 

of interseminal scales in relation to 

ovules/seeds. The flower lacks several of the 

characteristic features seen in geologically 

younger bennettitaleans, including fused, inwardly 

curved pollen organs and large number 

of small seeds. The association of these isolated 

organs to a single flower provides a rare 

opportunity to assess the attribution of these 

early representative of the Bennettitales, and 

sheds new light on the evolutionary history 

and phylogenetic position of this ancient 

group of seed plants.

Geinitzia reichenbachii 和 Sedites rabenhorstii(

rabenhorstii Geinitz, 1842 (Pinopsida; Late 

Cretaceous) reconsidered and redescribed. ( 英 

文 ). Kunzmann L. Review of Palaeobotany 


版 . 

Two conifer species from the Upper Turonian 

of the Saxonian and North Bohemian 

parts of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin are 

redescribed using the type specimens and additional 

material from the type horizon. In 

both cases characters of the gross-morphology 

of foliage shoots and leaf epidermal cell structure 

observed by LM and SEM are studied. 

Geinitzia reichenbachii is characterized by 

uniform falcate leaves that spread abruptly 

from the axis. They are 4-sided in cross section 

and have slightly decurrent leaf bases and 

a single central resin canal. The amphistomatic 

leaves show adaxially two properly 

developed stomatal bands with densely 

arranged stomata and abaxially two stomatal 

bands repeatedly interrupted. The apertures of 

the usually incomplete amphicyclic stomatal 

apparati are randomly orientated relative to 

the long leaf axis, but oblique and transversal 

orientation prevails. G. reichenbachii is typified 

by a neotype and an emended diagnosis is 

given. Based on detailed comparison to Geinitzia 

formosa from the Santonian of 

Quedlinburg, Germany, G. reichenbachii is 

assigned to Geinitzia Endlicher, 1847 which is 

considered a natural genus of extinct conifers 

and type of the Geinitziaceae. This application 

becomes legitimate because the conservation 

of the name Geinitzia has been proposed recently 

by Zijlstra et al. (2010). Sedites rabenhorstii 

is only known from two small specimens 

representing ultimate shoots. It is proved 

that it is a fossil conifer completely distinct 

from G. reichenbachii. S. rabenhorstii shows 

epidermal cell characters that have been hitherto 

described from the genus Glenrosa, a putative 

Cheirolepidiaceae. S. rabenhorstii differs 

from Glenrosa in leaf phyllotaxis. The 

leaves are arranged in four rows, probably in 

opposite pairs in decussate phyllotaxis. The 

free leaf part is spreading, straight, triangular 

in cross section and has an obtuse apex. The 

leaf base is decurrent. The leaves are amphistomatic 

with stomata deeply sunken in 

communal stomatal chambers containing finger-like 

processes or trichome papillae across 

the opening. In conclusion, Sedites is maintained 

as a morpho-genus for fossil conifers 

and an emended generic diagnosis is given.

Pinus prekesiya Xing, Liu et Zhou sp. nov. 

was described as a new species on the basis of 

two well preserved ovulate cones from the 

upper Miocene of central Yunnan, southwestern 

China. It is the first fossil record of three 

dimensionally preserved Pinus ovulate cones 

from China. Morphological comparisons with 

15 previously published Cenozoic cones and 

seven related extant pine species reveal that 

the fossil cones are identified as a new species, 

P. prekesiya sp. nov., which belongs to subsection 

Pinus of subgenus Pinus. The new 

species shows a combination of characters of 

P. kesiya and P. yunnanensis, but has a closer 

affinity with P. kesiya which occurs in the 

humid region of Yunnan and therefore suggests 

a more humid climate in central Yunnan 

during the late Miocene than today. The general 

cooling trend during the late Neogene and 

topographic change due to the dramatic Tibetan 

uplift might have caused a vicariant origin 

of P. kesiya and P. yunnanensis from the 

ancestral P. prekesiya.

From the Jurassic of Iinner Mongolia,

The genus Czekanowskia is an important 

member of the Mesozoic flora and is widespread 

in the Northern Hemisphere. In China, 

it is found mostly in Late Triassic and Early 

and Middle Jurassic sediments of North China. 

With the exception of a few specimens, all the 

reports of this genus from China have been 

based on gross leaf morphology. Abundant 

Czekanowskia leaves, preserved as compression 

fossils, were collected from the Middle 

Jurassic, Zhaogou Formation of Inner Mongolia, 

China. In this article, two subgenera of 

Czekanowskia, Harrisella and Vachrameevia, 

are recognized from Inner Mongolia, China, 

on the basis of leaf morphology and epidermal 

characters. Two new species, Czekanowskia 

chinensis sp. nov. (subg. Harrisella) and 

Czekanowskia shiguaiensis sp. nov. (subg. 

Vachrameevia), are described. The occurrence 

of these species in the Middle Jurassic of Inner 

Mongolia significantly extends the stratigraphic 

and geographic distribution of Czekanowskia 

in the Northern Hemisphere. Analysis 

of the epidermal characters of material presented 

here along with consideration of other 

associated plants of the flora and sedimentology 

of the plant-bearing strata suggests that 

the two species described in this report grew 

in an area with a warm and humid climate in a 

warm temperate zone. Biostratigraphic correlation 

of the plant-bearing strata indicates that 

the specimens described here are Middle Jurassic 

in age.

170(9): 1201-1227 

A new species of extinct conifer plants, 

Emporia royalii sp. nov. Hernandez-Castillo, 

Stockey, Mapes et Rothwell (Emporiaceae: 

Voltziales), is described from the rich fossil 

biota of the Late Pennsylvanian, Hamilton 

Quarry, Kansas. This conifer has lateral plagiotropic 

branches with simple and forked 

leaves, "age-dependent heterophylly," simple 

pollen cones, and compound ovulate cones. 

Stems have an endarch eustele, dense wood, 

and secretory cells arranged in nests or plates 

in the pith. Leaves are amphistomatic with 

two adaxial stomatal bands and two longitudinal 

abaxial rows of stomata with numerous 

trichome bases. Pollen cones are simple and 

have helically arranged microsporophylls with 

adaxial pollen sacs. Prepollen is monolete and 

monosaccate (Potonieisporites Bharadwaj). 

Ovulate cones are compound with bilaterally 

symmetrical axillary dwarf shoots that bear up 

to 45 sterile scales and 1-2 sporophylls and 

occur in the axils of helically arranged bracts 

with forked tips. Ovules are inverted and 

winged and resemble those of Emporia 

lockardii and Emporia cryptica. Emporia 

royalii is compared to other Euramerican walchian 

Voltziales, and a summary of the Emporiaceae 

and evolution of Paleozoic conifers is 

given. This is the fifth species of extinct conifer 

plants to be reconstructed from the Hamilton 

Quarry, making it the only Paleozoic locality 

in the world with numerous conifers all 

of which have been characterized as complete 

or nearly complete plants.

A new plant concept for the extinct conifer 

species Emporia lockardii (Mapes & Rothwell) 

Mapes & Rothwell (Emporiaceae) is developed 

from fossils collected at the Late Pennsylvanian 

Hamilton Quarry, Kansas. Emporia 

lockardii has lateral plagiotropic branches 

with simple and forked leaves, simple pollen 

cones, and compound ovulate cones. Stems 

have an endarch eustele with dense wood surrounding 

a septate pith. Leaves display position-dependent 

heterophylly with forked 

leaves on penultimate shoots and simple 

leaves on ultimate shoots. All leaves are amphistomatic 

with two stomatal bands and 

papillate epidermal cells on the adaxial surface 

and two basal stomatal bands and numerous 

trichome bases on the abaxial surface. 

Pollen cones are simple and have helically 

arranged microsporophylls and adaxial pollen 

sacs. Prepollen is monolete and monosaccate, 

56

and it conforms to the sporae dispersae genus 

Potonieisporites Bharadwaj. Ovulate cones are 

compound with helically arranged, forked 

bracts that subtend bilaterally symmetrical, 

axillary dwarf shoots with one to three narrow 

megasporophylls interspersed among numerous 

sterile scales. Ovules are terminal, inverted, 

and bilaterally symmetrical. This new 

reconstruction together with additional conifer 

reconstructions from the Hamilton Quarry locality 

indicate that the genus Emporia has a 

particularly high species diversity for walchian 

conifers. These findings support previous 

hypotheses that propose drier habitats as 

sites for the first appearances of plants that 

become dominant during the late Permian and 

Mesozoic.

Taiyuanense Plant. ( 英文 ). Hilton J;

Journal of Plant Sciences, 2009, 170(7): 

951-967 

The third of three whole-plant cordaitaleans 

we reconstructed from a single Early Permian 

locality in northern China is Shanxioxylon 

taiyuanense. The name is based on the stem S. 

taiyuanense B. Tian & S.-J. Wang emend. S.-J. 

Wang & J. Hilton, which has a large septate 

pith and endarch cauline bundles that generate 

mesarch leaf traces that dichotomize at the 

pith margin. The comparatively small, elongate 

leaves with few veins and thickened margins 

are assigned to Cordaites taiyuanensis S.- 

J. Wang & B. Tian emend. S.-J. Wang and J. 

Hilton, which is here nomenclaturally typified 

after a previous invalid publication. Fertile 

axes are diamond shaped in transverse section, 

bearing in a tetrastichous arrangement numerous 

bracts and secondary shoots that consist of 

basal leaflike sterile scales and apically concentrated 

fertile scales. Male cones of Cordaitanthus 

ximinensis S.-J. Wang & B. Tian consist 

of 20-30 sterile scales and an unknown 

number of fertile scales that produce pollen 

assignable to Florinites. Female cones of Cordaitanthus 

xishanensis S.-J. Wang & B. Tian 

consist of 30-35 sterile scales and 5-10 fertile 

scales that bear ovules of Cardiocarpus taiyuanensis 

J. Hilton, S.-J. Wang,& B. Tian, the 

smallest species described in this ovule genus. 

The correlation of these constituent organ species 

into a whole-plant species received little 

assistance from organic connection, which 

was confined to only one equivocal physical 

attachment between the pollen cone C. xishanensis 

and the ovule Cardiocarpus taiyuanensis. 

The presence of sclerenchyma 

strands allows histological correlation between 

the leaf species Cordaites taiyuanensis 

and the sterile scales of both the pollen cone 

and the ovulate cone. Positive association 

among the constituent organ species within 

the deposits also offers limited support for this 

reconstruction, as the individual organ species, 

other than leaves, are insufficiently frequent to 

allow statistical analysis. Thus, the reconstruction 

of S. taiyuanense relies partly on previous 

successes-specifically, better-supported reconstructions 

of two conceptual whole-plant cordaitaleans 

co-occurring at the locality, Shanxioxylon 

sinense and Cordaixylon tianii-and 

partly on the characteristically poor preservation 

of the components of S. taiyuanense, 

which are assumed to have been transported 

into the depositional environment from a drier 

environment of growth. The three whole-plant 

cordaitaleans are compared for the rigor of 

their respective reconstructions, and nomenclatural 

consistency is achieved by describing 

the leaves of S. sinense as a new organ species, 

Cordaites sinensis R. M. Bateman & S.- J. 

Wang.

From a single Early Permian locality in the 

Taiyuan Formation of northern China, a new 

whole-plant cordaitalean is reconstructed and 

named Cordaixylon tianii ( B. Tian and S.-J. 

Wang) S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov. The 

reconstruction is based on pairs of plant organs 

found in organic attachment, supplemented 

with cases where two or more cooccurring 

morphospecies share distinctive 

anatomical features. Stems have sympodial 

primary vascular architecture with endarch 

primary xylem maturation of the cauline bundles, 

which surround a septate pith. Leaf 

traces are endarch, most diverging from the 

pithmargin as double bundles ( less frequently 

singly) and bearing leaves in 3/8 and 5/13 

phyllotaxis. Leaves are long and straplike, 

resembling those of the previously recon- 

57

structed Cordaixylon dumusum Rothwell and 

S. Warner, but with a geniculate posture that 

justifies their segregation as Cordaites tianii 

S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov. Both male 

and female cones are compound, borne irregularly 

as epicormic branches, and when isolated 

conform to the morphogenus Cordaitanthus. 

Pollen cones with numerous pollen organs 

borne on apically concentrated fertile scales 

are largely consistent with the morphospecies 

Cordaitanthus concinnus Delevoryas, but subtle 

distinctions permit their description as C. 

tianii S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov. Ovulate 

cones are described as Cordaitanthus 

shanxiensis S.-J. Wang and J. Hilton sp. nov.; 

each cone contains several cardiocarpalean 

ovules that have a distinctive tuberculate integumentary 

structure and are assignable to 

the morphospecies Cardiocarpus tuberculatus 

S.-J. Wang, J. Hilton, and B. Tian. The reconstructed 

plant most closely resembles C. dumusum 

from the Late Pennsylvanian of North 

America, but (often subtle) diagnostic characters 

are well distributed across the organs of 

the two conceptual whole plants, permitting 

confident distinction at species level. The 

plant is reconstructed as a large, suberect or 

fully erect shrub.

the Lower Cretaceous deposits of the Khilok 

Formation (Buryatia Republic), where they 

form a thin coal bed. A new species, B. averianovii, 

is described from the Krasnyi Yar locality. 

The monodominant burial of the new 

species in combination with pollen grains of 

Ginkgocycadophytus prevailing in the relevant

The pollen morphology and ultrastructure 

of Cycas micholitzii, C. simplicipinna, Cycandra 

profusa, Ceratozamia mexicana, and 

Ginkgo biloba are studied. Pollen germination 

is also studied in C. mexicana and G. biloba. 

Although dehydrated pollen grains appear 

monosulcate, the study of hydrated pollen 

shows that the aperture occupies nearly half of 

the pollen surface and represents a pore rather 

than a sulcus. In the Ginkgoales, the inaperturate 

ectexine is characterized by a thick solid 

tectum, infratectum of columella-like elements 

or large granules, and distinct foot layer. On 

the contrary, in the Cycadales, the ectexine 

consists of a thin tectum, alveolar infratectum, 

and poorly discernable foot layer. Members of 

the Ginkgoales have a distinct distal aperture, 

which is constituted by an intine, endexine, 

and thin ectexine. In the modern Cycadales, an 

ectexine is well developed throughout the pollen 

perimeter; in the supposed aperture region 

the ectexine is not reduced in thickness, although 

it is characterized by a thinner tectum 

and thinner walls of infratectal alveoli. In Cycandra 

profusa, no unequivocal aperture region 

has been found. Thickened regions were 

observed in the intine of both the Cycadales 

and Ginkgoales.

This paper deals with the Late Paleozoic 

phase of the evolution of the ginkgophytes 

(gymnosperms attributed to the order Ginkgoales). 

New genera and species of Permian 

gymnosperms are erected that are more or less 

confidently related to the Ginkgoales or belong 

to ancestral (for this order) pteridosperms 

with foliar seed-bearing organs: Cheirocladus 

longicheirus Naugolnykh, gen. et sp. nov. and 

Psygmophyllodendron uralensis Naugolnykh, 

59

gen. et sp. nov. A new family, Cheirocladaceae 

Naugolnykh, fam. nov., uniting gymnosperms 

with weakly modified foliar seedbearing 

systems is proposed. The extended 

diagnosis of the family Psygmophyllaceae 

Zalessky emend. Naugolnykh, emend. nov. is 

provided. The extensive study of additional 

new material allowed the author to describe 

the morphology of Biarmopteris pulchra Zalessky 

(Cheirocladaceae), Psygmophyllum 

expansum (Brongniart) Schimper, and P. cuneifolium 

(Kutorga) Schimper (Psygmophyllaceae). 

Racemose aggregations of seeds of 

Karkenia sp. (Karkeniaceae), the oldest reliable 

record of Karkenia Archangelsky, are 

characterized. The typology of foliar seedbearing 

organs of early ginkgophytes and 

morphogenetic transformations of the leaves 

of ginkgophytes are discussed.

A new species, Mesocyparis rosanovii sp. 

nov. from the Lower Paleocene of the Amur 

Region, Russia, is characterized by a combination 

of advanced and primitive features: 

mixed opposite-alternate branching of vegetative 

shoots, leafy microsporophylls, as well as 

a relatively high number of sporangia per microsporophyll 

and seeds per cone scale. The 

Late Cretaceous-Early Paleogene genus 

Mesocyparis McIver et Basinger, which obviously 

embraces a natural group of closely related 

species, was a significant component of 

the vegetation in the middle and high latitudes 

of eastern Asia and western North America. 

The range of the genus testifies to terrestrial 

Transberingian connections between the continents 

during the Cretaceous warming phases.

Nystroemiaceae is proposed as a new family 

of gymnosperms from the Permian of Ca- 

60

thaysia that adds to the diversity of gymnosperms 

known from this critical time in seed 

plant evolution. This family is characterized 

by bifurcating and highly branched pinnate 

ovuliferous organs bearing bicornute ovules 

(seeds) and entire leaves with anastomozing 

veins that are born on complex and modernlooking 

branching systems with clear axillary 

branching. The reconstruction is based on numerous 

large specimens from two localities in 

North China, in which the different plant parts 

are attached to each other. The ovulate structures 

show some apparently plesiomorphic 

(primitive) character states more typical of 

early seed plants, whereas the leaves and 

branches show the clearly apomorphic (derived) 

character states of broad-leaved gymnosperms.

Although these fossil records were considered

both the mentioned extant species differ

Cretaceous fossil wood assemblages provide 

important evidence about the early evolution 

of angiosperms. However, the utility of 

these fossils is limited by two systematic problems: 

morphotaxa are generally over-split and 

in many cases cannot be securely assigned to 

extant families or orders. To address these 

problems we employed a 16-character Principal 

Component Analysis (PCA) to critically 

assess fossil wood systematics and investigate 

family/order affinity. In the first part of our 

study, we analyzed a large dataset of woods 

from extant trees. This served as a test of the 

PCA method, demonstrating a capability for 

clustering specimens into natural groups at 

species, genus, and to a more limited extent, 

family/order level. Having confirmed the validity 

of our approach, we then applied it to 

mid-Cretaceous fossil woods of icacinoid/platanoid 

and phyllanthoid types. Our 

PCAs support the distinctiveness of these 

groups, and most morphogeneric concepts 

contained therein, but raise significant questions 

about the uniqueness of many morphospecies. 

In particular, analyses highlight 

intra-specific variability as a major problem in 

delineating morphospecies and confirm suspicions 

that many taxa are over-split. Comparison 

of fossil specimens with extant structural 

and phylogenetic analogues also allows the 

probable affinity of morphotaxa to be assessed. 

Among the taxa analyzed, Cretaceous icacinoid/platanoid 

woods are similar to members 

of the Icacinaceae and Platanaceae, respectively, 

but an affinity with the Chloranthaceae 

or some other basal groups cannot be ruled out. 

In contrast, phyllanthoid fossil woods may be 

associated with magnoliid stem of the Laurales 

and Magnoliales. We argue that our PCA 

methodology offers a more rigorous and repeatable 

approach to fossil angiosperm wood 

systematics compared to those used in earlier 

studies.

A new extraordinary mass occurrence of 

Spirematospermum wetzleri capsules from the 

Middle Miocene of Ponholz (Germany) allowed 

comprehensive studies of this intriguing 

Zingiberalean species to be carried out. Parietal 

placentation, flower remains and a dual 

generative reproductive strategy by seed dispersal 

and capsule abscission were found. The 

petiole anatomy and a putative pollen grain of 

S. wetzleri are described. Fossil rhizomes and 

Zingiberales-type leaves are associated. Phytoliths 

of seeds, leaves, and rhizome sheaths 

are described and compared to extant Zingiberales 

phytoliths. Analysis of characters places 

the fossils as sister to the clade of Musa and 

Ensete in the Musaceae. We propose a new 

Musaceae subfamily for Spirematospermum. 

Cluster analysis of 81 Eurasian Palaeogene 

and Neogene floras with Spirematospermum 

identified water-associated habitats and divergent 

plant associations distinctly changing 

from the Oligocene to the Pliocene. The extraordinary 

longevity of S. wetzleri is explained 

by its broad ecological amplitude. Its 

wide palaeobiogeographic and stratigraphic 

distributions are summarized and correlated

文 ). Karlsdóttir L; Hallsdóttir M; Thórsson Æ 

T; Anamthawat-Jónsson K. Review of Palaeobotany 


350-357 

The aim of this study was to find evidence 

of Holocene hybridisation between downy 

birch (Betula pubescens) and dwarf birch (B. 

nana) in Iceland. We measured Betula pollen 

from an early Holocene peat profile from 

Hella in Eyjafjördur, mid-northern Iceland, 

with 39 samples taken at ca. 100-yr intervals 

between ca. 10.3 and 7.0 cal. ka BP based on 

known tephra layers. Species proportions were 

estimated and compared with data on presentday 

birch pollen. We found that Betula pollen 

from old samples prepared in glycerol was 

larger than the pollen in parallel samples 

mounted in silicon oil by a factor of 1.2 to 1.6, 

depending on the age of the peat. Therefore 

the analysis of Hella peat profile was entirely 

based on size frequency distribution within 

samples. The size frequency distribution of 

Betula pollen changed throughout the profile. 

In all samples, two normal curves with different 

means gave good fit to the observed fre- 

62

quency distribution, which denoted small pollen 

of B. nana and large pollen of B. pubescens. 

A low proportion of B. pubescens pollen 

was found in the oldest peat samples and 

again around 7.8 cal. ka BP, when B. nana 

predominated. The proportion of B. pubescens 

pollen peaked approximately at 8.7 and 7.2 cal. 

ka BP. Evidence of Betula hybrids was found 

in several samples, especially simultaneously 

with the earlier B. pubescens peak. Pollen with 

low D/P ratios (hybrid pollen) was found at 

different frequencies throughout the profile. 

Non-triporate Betula pollen grains, which are 

frequent among present-day triploid hybrids, 

were observed in most samples. The frequency 

of non-triporate pollen in a period between 

9.2 and 8.7 cal. ka BP far exceeded the 

average level produced by the present-day 

triploid hybrids. Climatic and ecological conditions 

may have favoured hybridisation of 

birch species during the expansion of downy 

birch over dwarf birch colonies in warm periods.

Palynology, 2009, 155(1-2): 25-31 2 图版 . 

Recent investigations of mid-Pliocene Citronelle 

Formation sites and a Pleistocene terrace 

deposit in southwestern Alabama have 

yielded fossils of the Betulaceae. Trullate 

(shield-shaped) leaves with evenly spaced, 

craspedodromous secondary veins and distinctively 

serrated margins indicate that Betula 

nigra was part of the Gulf Coast vegetation 

for at least the last three million years. This 

determination is supported by the presence of 

small, membranous-winged fruits and a trilobed 

catkin bract. Previous reports of a supposed 

ancestral species, B. prenigra, from the 

Citronelle Formation are reconsidered in light 

of the present findings and rejected. Oblong/ovate 

leaves with craspedodromous secondary 

veins, serrated margins, and 

acute/acuminate apices from the Citronelle 

Formation are assigned to Carpinus caroliniana. 

A characteristic nutlet bract of 

Carpinus was previously described from this 

formation, and here a staminate catkin with 

typical Carpinus-like bracts and in situ pollen 

provides additional support. A nutlet bract 

from the Pleistocene site confirms that C. 

caroliniana has been consistently present in 

this region. Some leaves suggestive of Ostrya 

were found but their identification is inconclusive. 

All sites produce Alnus pollen but no 

macrofossils were found. Of the ten species of 

Betulaceae in the southeastern United States 

today, only Alnus serrulata, Betula nigra, 

Carpinus caroliniana, and Ostrya virginiana 

frequent the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Plain. 

Our findings confirm that Betula nigra and 

Carpinus caroliniana were clearly established 

in the area by the mid-Pliocene and persisted 

to the recent, probably due to regional climatic 

stability.

Eight fossil leaves identified as Exbucklandia 

tengchongensis sp. nov. (Hamamelidaceae) 

were collected from the Pliocene Mangbang 

Formation in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, 

Southwest China. The fossil leaves are characterized 

by the overall rounded lamina with 

entire margin, actinodromous venation, and 

cyclocytic stomata, which suggest the affinity 

within the genus Exbucklandia, particularly 

with E. populnea. A survey on the cuticles of 

the sun and shade leaves of modern E. populnea 

indicates that the shade leaves generally 

possess more pronounced undulate anticlinal 

cell walls and a much lower stomatal density 

than the sun leaves. Two morphotypes, i.e. sun 

vs. shade types, of the fossil leaves were 

therefore recognized. The distribution of the 

modern Exbucklandia suggests that the genus 

lives under a warm climate with a mean annual 

temperature (MAT) from 13 °C to 27 °C 

and a mean annual precipitation (MAP) from 

800 mm to 2500 mm. Hence, E. tengchongensis 

might also live under a similar climatic 

condition in the Pliocene. Leaf margin analysis 

on the Tengchong flora supports this result. 

The little change of Neogene MAT in Southwest 

China is therefore supported.

fragments of angiosperm wood. We conducted 

a SEM-analysis of thirty-nine angiosperm 

wood samples from four localities. Two types 

were recognized as follows: Morphotype 1 has 

narrow, densely packed vessels, very long scalariform 

perforation plates, opposite intervessel 

pits, and heterocellular rays of two sizes. It 

is herein named Icacinoxylon pecinovense sp. 

nov. Morphotype 2 has wide vessels, simple 

perforation plates, alternate intervessel pits, 

and short heterocellular rays and is assigned to 

Paraphyllanthoxylon marylandense Herendeen. 

Morphometric studies utilising Principal 

Component Analysis confirm this demarcation 

in morphospace, but despite large 

intrataxon variability does not support further 

splitting. Vessel diameter data suggest that 

Paraphyllanthoxylon was a large tree, challenging 

the idea that early angiosperms were 

small shrubs; the stature of Icacinoxylon is 

uncertain. Facies analysis suggests that both 

trees may have grown within riparian gallery 

forests under a subtropical climate, a finding 

consistent with calculations of Vulnerability

Three fossil stem fragments collected from 

the banks of the Madre de Dios river in the 

south-western Peruvian Amazon are described 

and identified as Guadua sp. from their anatomical 

structure and gross morphology. 

These fossil monocots are stem fragments corresponding 

to a nodal region with i) circular 

sheath scars, ii) monopodial ramifications, iii) 

thorny or spiny buds or complex branches, 

and iv) a hollow stem structure. According to 

C 14 radiodating and to their stratigraphic position, 

these fossils are older than 45,790 yr BP 

(Late Pleistocene) and younger than 

3.12 ± 0.02 My (Late Pliocene) indicating that 

Guadua was present in south-western Amazonia 

before the first human occurrence in 

America, and before the Last Glacial Maximum 

(LGM). Since little is known regarding 

the origin of Guadua Kunth, a bamboo native 

to Central and South America and questions 

remain regarding the history of Guaduadominated 

forests within the Amazonian lowland 

tropical rainforest, this work suggests an 

alternate interpretation for the Poaceae-rich 

palynological assemblages of Amazonia and 

may contribute to an understanding of the evolutionary

Two types of fossil fruit, one belonging to 

Palaeocarya sp. (Juglandaceae) and the other 

to Acer cf. A. miofranchetii Hu et Chaney 

(Aceraceae), are found in the Eocene coalbearing 

series from the Changchang Basin of 

Hainan Island, China. This is the first fossil 

record of Palaeocarya and Acer in a tropical 

area of China. These fossils provide evidence 

for an investigation of the phytogeographic 

history of these two genera. Since their extant 

relative genera are distributed mostly in northern 

temperate or tropical–subtropical mountainous 

regions, I propose that the Changchang 

Basin of Hainan Island was close to a 

mountainous region in the Eocene; the plants 

bearing these fruits were growing at a midhigh 

altitude with a relatively cool climate, 

and the fruits were not preserved in situ but 

transported to the fossil site. The characters of 

other associated fossil plants and palynological 

data also support this hypothesis.

pollination: from Darwin to the present 

day. ( 英文 ). Micheneau C; Johnson S D; Fay

In this year celebrating the bicentenary of 

the birth of Darwin and the sesquicentennial 

of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin 

of Species, the present paper aims to assess 

the impact of Darwin's legacy on the history 

of orchid pollination biology. To illustrate the 

major contribution of Darwin to this fascinating 

biological field, we focus on the large an- 

64

graecoid orchid group and propose an overview 

of the complex relationships that these 

orchids have developed with specific pollinators. 

We further discuss how Darwin's seminal 

work on the angraecoid orchid Angraecum 

sesquipedale triggered the beginning of a long 

debate about the evolution of long floral spurs 

and why his idea of reciprocal evolution or 

'coevolution' was one of the great contributions 

to evolutionary biology. (C) 2009 The

木质部的异时发育 : 一个未被重视的与被 

子植物起源及分异相关的重要因素 = Xylem 

heterochrony: an unappreciated key to 

angiosperm origin and diversifications. ( 英文 ). 

Carlquist S. Botanical Journal of the Linnean 

Society, 2009, 161(1): 26-65 

All angiosperms can be arranged along a 

spectrum from a preponderance of juvenile 

traits (cambial activity lost) to one of nearly 

all adult characters (cambium maximally active, 

mature patterns realized rapidly early in 

ontogeny). Angiosperms are unique among 

seed plants in the width of this spectrum. Xylem 

patterns are considered here to be indicative 

of contemporary function, not relictual. 

Nevertheless, most families of early-divergent 

angiosperms exhibit paedomorphic xylem 

structure, a circumstance that is most plausibly 

explained by the concept that early angiosperms 

had sympodial growth forms featuring 

limited accumulation of secondary xylem. 

Sympodial habits have been retained in various 

ways not only in early-divergent angiosperms, 

but also among eudicots in Ranunculales. 

The early angiosperm vessel, relatively 

marginal in conductive abilities, was improved 

in various ways, with concurrent redesign 

of parenchyma and fibre systems to 

enhance conductive, storage and mechanical 

capabilities. Flexibility in degree of cambial 

activity and kinds of juvenile/adult expressions 

has been basic to diversification in eudicots 

as a whole. Sympodial growth that lacks 

cambium, such as in monocots, provides advantages 

by various features, such as organographic 

compartmentalization of tracheid 

and vessel types. Woody monopodial eudicots 

were able to diversify as a result of production 

of new solutions to embolism prevention and 

conductive efficiency, particularly in vessel 

design, but also in parenchyma histology. Criteria 

for paedomorphosis in wood include 

slow decrease in length of fusiform cambial 

initials, predominance of procumbent ray cells 

and lesser degrees of cambial activity. Retention 

of ancestral features in primary xylem 

(the 'refugium' effect) is, in effect, a sort of 

inverse evidence of acceleration of adult patterns 

in later formed xylem. Xylem heterochrony 

is analysed not only for all key groups 

of angiosperms (including monocots), but also 

for different growth forms, such as lianas, annuals, 

various types of perennials, rosette trees 

and stem succulents. Xylary phenomena that 

potentially could be confused with heterochrony 

are discussed. Heterochronous xylem 

features seem at least as important as other 

often cited factors (pollination biology) because 

various degrees of paedomorphic xylem 

are found in so many growth forms that relate 

in xylary terms to ecological sites. Xylem heterochrony 

can probably be accessed during 

evolution by relatively simple gene changes in 

a wide range of angiosperms and thus represents 

a current as well as a past source of 

variation upon which diversification was 

based. Results discussed here are compatible 

with both current molecular-based phylogenetic 

analyses and all recent physiological 

work on conduction in xylem and thus represent 

an integration of these fields. (C) 2009

The genus Rosannia was erroneously diagnosed 

as a monad in Srivastava (1968a). It is 

re-diagnosed and its type species Rosannia 

manika is redescribed. The lost holotype is 

replaced by the surviving isotype as a lectotype 

here. Epitypes are designated and illustrated 

in this study to explain the morphology 

of R. manika in detail. Rosannia is an obligate 

ana-ulcerate tetrad with calymmate exine and 

granulose supratectal ornamentation. Its 

worldwide occurrence ranges from the Turonian 

to the Miocene. Lactoripollenites Zavada 

and Benson is a junior synonym of 

Rosannia. Pollen of extant Lactoris fernande- 

65

The present study documents the first confirmed 

fossil record of Sinomenium in Menispermaceae, 

Sinomenium macrocarpum sp. 

nov., from the recently discovered Gray Fossil 

Site in Tennessee, southeastern USA. The fossil 

species is represented by more than 120 

endocarps, all of which are characterized by 

their horseshoe-shaped form and occurrence 

of highly ornamented protuberances on both 

dorsal and lateral crests. A combination of 

their relatively large size and highly developed 

of protuberances on the surface of endocarp 

warrants the new species. The new species 

is justified through a detailed comparison 

with the related and published extant and fossil 

species. The discovery of the genus in 

North America appears to support that the 

Gray site in southern Appalachian region represented 

a forest refugium during the late 

Neogene when the global cooling was intensified 

and grasslands were globally expanded.

H. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 

2010, 159(3-4): 143-151 3 图版 . 

Various kinds of fruits and seeds are known 

from the bituminous shales filling a middle 

Eocene maar at Eckfeld near Manderscheid 

(Eifel, Germany), some clearly adapted to 

wind dispersal. One of them is a consistently 

four-winged fruit with a long stalk and a superior 

fruit body carrying persistent style and 

stigma. It is presently represented by more 

than 80 specimens and described as a new 

species of an extinct genus, Trilobium Saporta 

emend. All of the major characters of Trilobium 

maii sp. nov. are met in fruits of extant 

Anacardiaceae. However, some similarities to 

fruits of Porana (Convolvulaceae) may also 

be recognised. The new species is another example 

supporting the considerable amount of 

extinct taxa in Northern Hemisphere Paleogene 

floras. The mode of dispersal as indicated 

by such a type of winged fruits fits to a 

paratropical vegetation as previously suggested 

for the middle Eocene at Eckfeld. The 

locality represents the oldest occurrence for 

Trilobium fruits. By the late Eocene, they are 

known from a broader area in Europe, but, at 

the same time still completely unknown from 

North America and Asia.

Fossil leaf compressions from the Late Oligocene

Vepris and the earliest record of Clausena and 

the subfamily Aurantioideae. These fossils, 

along with most other African rutaceous fossils, 

are associated with a tropical moist forest 

community. The large number of Rutaceae 

taxa in eastern Africa during the Late Oligocene

within Africa or dispersal to Africa 

associated with the continental expansion of 

moist tropical forest during this time interval.

Liu H M. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology,

Extant Berberis is a member of the basal 

eudicots with a South America (group Australes)-Old 

World (group Septentrionales) 

disjunctive distribution pattern. Different hypotheses 

have been proposed to explain the 

formation of this pattern. Recent molecular 

studies suggest that this pattern was caused by 

66

a vicariance event in the Cretaceous. More 

fossil evidence is required to evaluate these 

hypotheses. Here a new species of Berberis 

from the Palaeocene Wuyun flora is established 

based on a detailed comparison with all 

other fossil and related living Berberis. The 

occurrence of a Palaeocene Berberis in NE 

China and other fossil data suggest that 1) the 

genus originated in eastern Asia, 2) the leaf 

venation of the genus probably evolved from 

pinnate to acrodromous, leaf margins from 

densely spinose teeth to only occasionally 

toothed or even entire, 3) the genus would appear 

to have migrated from eastern Asia to 

North America in the Oligocene, via Beringia. 

Berberis probably arrived in Europe from 

Asia during the late Oligocene when Eurasia 

was reunited after the retreat of the Turgai 

Straits. Berberis could have migrated to India 

from eastern Asia, arriving before the last major 

upheaval of the Himalayas in the Pleistocene.

in Seed Size During the Cretaceous-Tertiary 

Radiation of Angiosperms. ( 英文 ). Sims H J. 


171(2): 216-220 

An updated data set of 25 fossil floras sampling 

plant communities from the Early Cretaceous 

(similar to 123 million years ago) to the 

Pliocene (similar to 3 million years ago) is 

reanalyzed to assess the evolution of a latitudinal 

gradient in seed size during the radiation 

of angiosperms and the effect of this gradient 

on estimations of temporal trends in seed size. 

There is a significant negative correlation between 

the median seed size of Tertiary floras 

and their paleolatitude. As in modern floras, 

average seed size decreased from the equator 

toward the poles. Results indicate that previous 

documentations of a striking increase in 

within-flora seed size around the Cretaceous/Tertiary 

boundary (66 million years ago) 

are valid and conservative: the older (Cretaceous) 

floras sampled communities that in life 

were closer to the equator, relative to the 

younger (Tertiary) floras.

B Y. International Journal of Plant Sciences, 

2010, 171(2): 221-226 

The earliest known Asian records of Ulmus 

fruits are reported based on fossils from the 

Early Eocene Jijuntun Formation of Fushun 

coal mine, Liaoning Province, northeastern 

China. These fruits and associated leaves are 

morphologically similar to those of Ulmus 

okanaganensis Denk & Dillhoff, previously 

described from the late Early Eocene of western 

Canada. The fruits are small, flattened, 

and elliptical, with a pair of protruding styles 

and remnants of a basal calyx, but they do not 

possess the prominent surrounding wing characteristic 

of most extant Ulmus species. Fossil 

fruits from both the Chinese and Canadian 

Eocene sites are characterized by a short or 

nonexistent stipe between calyx and the fruit 

body, but the Chinese specimens show shorter 

styles, supporting their recognition as a distinct 

species, Ulmus fushunensis sp. n. Associated 

leaves, known only from two Fushun 

specimens, have small ovate laminae with serrate 

margins, usually with one tooth per secondary 

vein, similar to those of U. 

okanaganensis but with smaller laminae and 

fewer secondary veins. The occurrence of 

similar species of Ulmus in China and western 

North America during the Eocene indicates 

that early representatives of the genus may 

have spread via Beringia in the early Paleogene.

small glands in sinuses between triangular 

teeth. It exhibits more affinities with basal

Monetianthus mirus gen. et sp. nov. is described 

based on a single coalified flower 

from the Early Cretaceous (Late Aptian-Early 

Albian) Vale de Agua locality, western Portugal. 

The flower is actinomorphic and probably 

bisexual, with a perianth of nine or 10 tepals, 

an androecium of 20 stamens, and a syncarpous 

gynoecium with a partly inferior ovary of 

12 carpels arranged radially around a central 

column. Phyllotaxis of tepals and stamens is 

uncertain. Nondestructive synchrotron radiation 

x-ray tomographic microscopy of internal 

structures documents laminar placentation 

with around six anatropous and ascending 

ovules in each locule. Comparison of 

Monetianthus with living plants indicates a 

clear relationship to extant Nymphaeales in 

particular with the Barclaya and Nymphaeoideae 

clade. Monetianthus thus provides 

evidence of crown group Nymphaeales, and 

probably crown group Nymphaeaceae, at a 

very early stage in the initial diversification of 

flowering plants.

in the Paleogene of North America

2009, 170(7): 941-950 

Fossil fruits document the former presence 

of Sloanea L. (Elaeocarpaceae) in Greenland 

and midlatitude North America during the 

early Tertiary. First described as Castanea 

ungeri by Heer in 1869 from the Paleocene of 

Greenland, the distinctive spiny fruits have 

since been discovered at several Paleocene to 

lower Eocene sites in Colorado, Wyoming and 

Montana. The fruits are 3-5-valved capsules 

2.5-3.5 cm in diameter, borne on long pedicels. 

Immature, unopened capsules show a single 

persistent style. The capsules open from the 

apex with valves separating to the lower 10% 

of the fruit. Each valve has a smooth inner 

surface with a pronounced median septum and 

is ornamented dorsally with closely spaced, 

erect spines, 4-8mm long. The North American 

and Greenlandic fossils are classified together 

as Sloanea ungeri (Heer) comb. n., a 

species that extended from the Lower Paleocene 

(Puercan) to the Lower Eocene (Lost 

Cabinian) in the Rocky Mountain region. 

Fruits of Carpites lancensis Dorf from the Late 

Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) ofWyoming are 

less well preserved but also resemble those of 

Sloanea. These fossil occurrences document 

an earlier fossil record for the family Elaeocarpaceae 

in the Northern Hemisphere than is 

currently known from the Southern Hemisphere.

Permineralized Fagus Nuts from the Eocene 

of Vancouver Island, Canada. ( 英文 ). Mindell

560 

Sixty trigonal fagaceous fruits have been 

identified in the calcareous nodules from the 

Eocene Appian Way locality of Vancouver 

Island, British Columbia, Canada. The anatomically 

preserved fruits are known at various 

developmental stages. In transverse section, 

fruits are triangular, with lateral ridges 

68

that vary in shape from rounded to sharply 

angled. In longitudinal section, the nuts show 

a broad base and a tapered apex. The ovary is 

partitioned into three locules at the apex, and 

placentation is axile, with two ovules per locule. 

Locules merge near the base, giving the 

appearance of a three-lobed ovarian cavity. 

This area is occupied by a single seed at maturity. 

The inner wall of the endocarp is tomentose. 

Major vascular bundles in the mesocarp 

occur midway between and at the lateral 

ridges of the nut. The nut is wingless and has 

an exocarp of dense sclerenchyma interrupted 

at the ridges by dehiscence lines that traverse 

the entire fruit wall. The nut surface is glabrous, 

except near the distal end, where 

trichomes emerge in proximity to three styles 

and surrounding perianth remnants. These 

nuts are assigned to the genus Fagus L. and 

represent the first permineralized Fagaceae of 

subfamily Fagoideae in the fossil record. 

Fagus schofieldii sp. nov. provides the earliest 

evidence of winglessness in Fagoideae and 

supports the possibility of a North American 

origin for the genus.

342 

Hoya and Dischidia are closely related genera, 

but molecular phylogenetic analyses have 

not succeeded in revealing their exact relationship. 

The morphology of the pollinating 

apparatus, consisting of guide rails, stamens, 

pollinaria, and stigmas, of selected species of 

Hoya and of Dischidia, as well as of Stephanotis 

floribunda and of Marsdenia cordifolia, 

is examined and discussed in the light of the 

mechanisms involved in the pollination of 

their flowers. Flowers of Hoya have generally 

lost their inner guide rails, while guide rails in 

Dischidia are more developed and often provided 

with inner rails. Nectar in Hoya is produced 

from a tube in the guide rails but also 

by secondary nectaries positioned inside the 

anther skirt. The pollinium in this genus is, in 

the majority of cases, provided with a pellucid 

margin that is inserted into the guide rails during 

pollination. Pollinia of Dischidia have 

crested caudicles, which because of structural 

similarity to the pellucid margins of Hoya, are 

hypothesized to fulfill the same function. Pollinia 

with pellucid margins together with 

modified guide rails and secondary nectaries 

inside the anther skirt support the monophyly 

of Hoya and point to a systematic position of 

Dischidia outside this genus in the tribe Marsdenieae.

Recently, several fruits sharing characters

of infructescences and 

isolated fruits and seeds preserved as molds 

and casts. The infructescences are probably 

racemes bearing fruits placed most likely in 

whorls of four each. Isolated fruits are small 

one-seeded bisymmetrical endocarps. Palynological 

studies of the beds show the presence 

of an assemblage similar to those found

Trichome Characters. ( 英文 ). Manchester S R; 

Xiang Q Y; Kodrul T M; Akhmetiev M A. 


170(1): 132-142 

The identification of Cornus foliage in the 

fossil record previously has relied primarily 

on similarities in venation, particularly the 

eucamptodromous secondary veins and widely 

spaced, transversely oriented tertiary veins. 

These features, while consistent with Cornus, 

69

are not by themselves diagnostic for the genus. 

Double-armed, acicular trichomes mineralized 

with calcium carbonate are an additional characteristic 

feature found in all extant species of 

the genus. The presence of such trichomes 

provides a means of confirming leaf impression 

fossils attributed to Cornus. Reexamination 

of previously described Cornus leaves 

from the Paleocene of the Rocky Mountains 

and Great Plains region leads us to reject Cornus 

nebrascensis Schimper (=Cornus newberryi 

Hollick) from the genus. Another species, 

Cornus hyperborea Heer, is provisionally 

accepted as Cornus based on its venation, although 

we were unable to confirm the 

trichomes in the type material from Greenland 

or in the assigned specimens from North Dakota. 

We also review other Eurasian Paleocene 

Cornus-like leaf remains, including Cornus 

platyphylla Saporta and Cornophyllum 

hebridicum (Johnson) Boulter and Kvacek. 

We recognize two new Paleocene species, 

whose identity as Cornus is confirmed by the 

presence of characteristic trichomes and venation: 

Cornus swingii sp. n., from the Paleocene 

of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota, 

and Cornus krassilovii sp. n., from the 

Paleocene Tsagayan flora of Russia. These 

occurrences, along with fruit records, indicate 

that the extant genus was well established in 

the Northern Hemisphere early in the Tertiary.

leaves using a morphological system that is 

independent of the system of modern plants is 

discussed. It is confirmed that leaf structures 

are more conservative than reproductive organs. 

It is proposed that, in the geological past, 

there was a polymorphic group that was 

probably represented by extinct families 

which gave rise to modern families (in particular, 

Platanaceae and Hamamelidaceae).

Some problems in the taxonomy of the Juglandaceae 

are discussed based on wood anatomy; 

the identification of fossil juglandaceous 

wood is considered. Data on fossil wood of 

the Juglandaceae are summarized; a key for 

identification of wood anatomy in modern and 

fossil Juglandaceae is compiled. Wood anatomical 

characters in members of the family 

are discussed in the light of major evolutionary 

trends in the secondary xylem of dicots, 

and a comparative characterization of members 

of the family is developed. A hypothesis 

is proposed that the subfamily Engelhardioideae 

is the most primitive member of the 

Juglandaceae based on wood anatomy, the 

tribe Juglandeae and subfamily Platycaryoideae 

are slightly more highly specialized, 

and the tribe Hicorieae is the most advanced. 

Evolutionary relationships between the members 

of the Juglandaceae are reviewed based 

on wood anatomy.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, 

pioneering discoveries of rich assemblages of 

fossil plants from the Cretaceous resulted in 

considerable interest in the first appearance of 

angiosperms in the geological record. Darwin's 

famous comment, which labelled the 

‘rapid development’ of angiosperms an 

‘abominable mystery’, dates from this time. 

Darwin and his contemporaries were puzzled 

by the relatively late, seemingly sudden and 

geographically widespread appearance of 

modern-looking angiosperms in Late Cretaceous 

floras. Today, the early diversification 

of angiosperms seems much less ‘rapid’. Angiosperms 

were clearly present in the Early 

Cretaceous, 20–30 Myr before they attained 

the level of ecological dominance reflected in 

some mid-Cretaceous floras, and angiosperm 

leaves and pollen show a distinct pattern of 

steadily increasing diversity and complexity 

through this interval. Early angiosperm fossil 

flowers show a similar orderly diversification 

and also provide detailed insights into the 

changing reproductive biology and phylogenetic 

diversity of angiosperms from the Early 

Cretaceous. In addition, newly discovered fossil 

flowers indicate considerable, previously 

unrecognized, cryptic diversity among the earliest 

angiosperms known from the fossil record. 

Lineages that today have an herbaceous 

or shrubby habit were well represented. 

Monocotyledons, which have previously been 

difficult to recognize among assemblages of 

early fossil angiosperms, were also diverse 

and prominent in many Early Cretaceous ecosystems.

Different types of flowering plants and 

conifers have been collected in the Olmos 

Formation, Upper Cretaceous (upper Campanian-lower 

Maastrichtian). A stem represents 

a new species of Palmoxylon Schenk 

(Arecaceae), P. enochii sp. nov. The stem portion 

known of this new plant has vascular 

bundles organized in radial strands; each vascular 

bundle has 2 or 3 metaxylem and 3 to 9 

protoxylem vessel elements. The ground tissue 

consists of thin-walled cells forming a not 

compact tissue with intercellular spaces, rarely 

described in Upper Cretaceous palms. The 

diversity of palm trees of the Olmos Formation 

flora further supports the presence of a 

diverse paleovegetation that later contributed 

with important elements to the humid and dry 

tropics during Cenozoic time in southern 

North America and northern and central Mexico.

Two petrified woods from ltuzaingo Formation 

(Pliocene-Pleistocene) are described and 

assigned to Anacardiaceae. The specimens 

were found in Toma Vieja fossiliferous locality, 

Parana, Entre Rios, Argentina. The presence 

of a combination of characters in each 

one allowed to distinguish this family from 

other dicotyledonous and to assign the material 

to two morfotaxa: Astroniumxylon parabalansae 

Franco et Brea and a new morphospecies 

of Astroniumxylon Brea et al. The 

petrified woods show great affinity with the 

genera Astronium Jacq., while Astronium 

balansae Engl. and Astronium urundeuva (Allemao) 

Engl. are the most related species. The 

comparison with the nearest living relatives 

suggests that the fossils might have been a 

component of Neotropical Dry Forests with 

strongly seasonal climate. These current forests 

develop in South America and are relict in 

isolated localities in the North of Argentina, 

Southeast of Bolivia and Brazil, but that in the 

past they were more extended to the South and 

East of the American continent. Anacardi- 

73

aceae family was a very important component 

during the Cenozoic in southernmost South 

America. This evidence is supported by diverse 

and abundant fossil record of Anacardiaceae.

Sinica, 2009, 83(5): 845-852 

A total of 16 specimens of fossil-winged 

fruits were found from the Middle Miocene 

marine deposits, Duho Formation, Pohang 

Basin, Korea. They were identified into two 

structurally different groups: 15 specimens 

into a winged fruit of Fraxinus, and one 

specimen of Liriodendron. The most samaras 

(13 specimens) were identified as Fraxinus 

oishii, which is characterized by narrowly 

ovate or ovate-elliptic shapes that are 2.7-3.6 

cm in length and 0.7-1 cm in width (i/w ratio=3.4-4). 

The apexes of the Fraxinus oishii 

samara are round or slightly emarginated, and 

a seed of the samara is always located at the 

base, of which the general shape is narrow 

rhombic-ellipsoidal. The seed is 1.2-2 cm long 

and 0.5-0.7 cm wide. Two specimens are different 

from the samara of Fraxinus oishii. 

They have a 6.6 length/width ratio (3.3 cm 

long and 0.5 cm wide), and thus, are temporarily 

classified into the Fraxinus sp. One 

specimen was recognized as a winged seed of 

Liriodendron meisenense. The wing is broadly 

lanceolate to elliptic in shape, has a smooth, 

acute apex, and is approximately 3 cm long 

and 0.7 cm wide. Samaras of Fraxinus oishii 

and Liriodendron meisenense were early reported 

from the Middle Miocene deposits 

from North Korea, but these specimens are the 

first discovery in South Korea. Further study 

74

of the Duho Formation may connect flora relationships 

between North and South Korea.

patterns of test degradation on tropical, intertidal 

benthic foraminifera. ( 英文 ). Berkeley A; 

Perry C T; Smithers S G. Marine Micropaleontology, 

2009, 73(3-4): 148-163 5 图版 . 

The preservational condition of benthic foraminifera 

from tropical intertidal sediments 

in Cleveland Bay, north Queensland, Australia 

was examined in order to provide systematic 

descriptions of taphonomic signatures and 

semi-quantitative estimates of test degradation. 

The primary aim was to improve understanding 

of the processes of test degradation experienced 

by intertidal foraminifera during 

early burial. Eight common tropical, intertidal 

foraminiferal species were examined: 

Arenoparrella mexicana, Miliammina fusca, 

Miliammina obliqua and Trochammina inflata 

from two upper mangrove stations, and Ammonia 

aoteana, Elphidium excavatum clavatum, 

Pararotalia venusta and Parrellina hispidula 

from two mudflat stations. Taphonomic 

alteration was broadly divided into surface/textural 

features and larger-scale, structural 

losses to tests. Surface alteration of calcareous 

tests was dominated by the etching 

and roughening associated with dissolution 

processes, with limited evidence for bioerosion 

and abrasion. Both surficial etching and 

larger-scale structural damage were closely 

related to test architecture, with degradation 

most intense on porous chamber walls, as opposed 

to non-porous-areas, interlocular walls 

and chamber tips. Furthermore, all calcareous 

species exhibited consistent pathways of degradation 

whereby the most recently formed 

chambers were the most vulnerable to degradation. 

The correspondence between largerscale 

test loss and these patterns of surface 

textural alteration, suggests calcareous test 

degradation is primarily driven by dissolution. 

Degradation of agglutinated tests contrasts in 

a number of ways. Pristine tests of all four 

species examined exhibited a smooth, outer 

organic coating, which may be missing from 

other specimens. The extent to which this initial 

loss effects further test breakdown is uncertain, 

but appears to differ between species. 

M. obliqua and some specimens of A. mexicana 

exhibited structural damage which corresponded 

to clear cement losses and agglutinant 

disaggregation. More generally, agglutinated 

species displayed fracturing and test 

breakages which bore no conspicuous relation 

to cement loss. Furthermore, neither surface 

alteration nor structural loss affected any part 

of agglutinated tests preferentially, and therefore 

pathways of degradation were inconsistent 

across specimens. The fact that agglutinated 

tests degrade in a more arbitrary manner, 

compared with calcareous tests, is taken as 

evidence that their degradation is (1) not entirely 

controlled by test architecture, and (2) at 

least partially driven by physical/mechanical 

processes. We suggest that, if agglutinated 

tests are not already inherently weaker than 

their calcareous counterparts, the loss of organic 

cements may sufficiently weaken agglutinated 

tests so as to increase susceptibility to 

physical damage. Tests were also graded according 

to the extent to which they were structurally 

degraded. Average taphonomic grades 

and taphonomic variability (i.e. standard deviation) 

for all species at Cocoa Creek were 

statistically invariant with depth, contrary to 

expectations based on the concept of progressive 

burial through a taphonomically-active 

zone. This indicates that shallow sub-surface 

sediments are significantly homogenised, and 

that sediment mixing and infaunal test production 

imparts a considerable effect on the development 

of surface and sub-surface dead 

assemblages at the study site.

Trace elements incorporated in planktonic 

foraminiferal test carbonate are commonly 

used as paleoproxies. For instance, Mg/Ca 

ratios are frequently used for reconstructing 

sea surface temperature and, together with the 

foraminiferal stable oxygen isotope ratios, are 

also used as paleosalinity proxy. Foraminiferal 

Sr/Ca ratios constitute another example of the 

application of trace elements in paleostudies 

since they may reflect the Sr/Ca values of 

seawater. However, over the past few decades 

it has been proven that the incorporation of 

75

trace elements in foraminiferal calcite is controlled 

by more than one environmental parameter. 

To quantify the effect of salinity on 

Mg and Sr incorporation planktonic foraminifera 

Globigerinoides sacculifer (sensu 

stricto) were grown in the laboratory under 

different environmental conditions. Laboratory 

experiments allowed us to separate a direct 

salinity effect from a possible independent 

impact through differences in the calcite 

saturation state of the seawater (Ω). Although 

the temperature effect is more important than 

the salinity effect, a change of 4 salinity units 

is equivalent to a 1 °C bias on Mg/Ca-based 

temperatures. This effect of salinity on Mg 

incorporation is minor. However, when using 

Mg/Ca-based temperatures in combination 

with foraminiferal δ 18 O to calculate salinity, it 

cannot be neglected. The present study shows 

salinity as the overriding control on Mg incorporation 

within the range of Ω studied (Ω between 

5.25 and 6.50; [CO 3 2− ] between 218 and 

270 μmol/kg) at a constant temperature of 

26 °C. In contrast, Ω appears to be the main 

control on foraminiferal Sr incorporation 

(0.10 mmol/mol per 100 µmol/kg rise in 

[CO 3 2− ]), whereas salinity has a non significant 

influence on Sr/Ca.

dissolution of a fossil foraminiferal assemblage 

(Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, 

Dababiya, Egypt): Implications for paleoenvironmental 

reconstructions. ( 英文 ). Nguyen T 

M P; Petrizzo M R; Speijer R P. Marine 

Micropaleontology, 2009, 73(3-4): 241-258 

Dissolution experiments were carried out on 

a foraminiferal assemblage from the Paleocene–Eocene 

Thermal Maximum (PETM) at 

Dababiya, Egypt, in order to: 1) reveal the 

effects of differential dissolution on the composition 

of the foraminiferal assemblage and 2) 

develop objective criteria for the evaluation of 

dissolution in foraminiferal assemblages used 

in early Paleogene paleoenvironmental reconstructions, 

particularly with respect to neritic 

Midway-type assemblages from the Paleocene/Eocene 

transition. Our results confirm 

two general observations on modern foraminifera: 

1) planktic foraminifera are much 

more vulnerable to dissolution than benthic 

foraminifera, leading to depressed P/B ratios 

and 2) dissolution susceptibility differs between 

size fractions, with the smaller specimens 

dissolving more rapidly than the bigger 

ones, leading to a larger average size of the 

remaining assemblage. Within a size fraction, 

wall structure and thickness are considered to 

be the main factors controlling differential 

dissolution susceptibility. We propose a ranking 

scheme for taxa with respect to dissolution 

resistance. Among the benthic taxa, Lenticulina 

is most resistant, followed by the agglutinated 

Gaudryina cf. ellisorae and Alabamina 

midwayensis. Biserial and triserial 

hyaline taxa and the porcelaneous Spiroloculina 

sp. are most susceptible to dissolution, 

whereas rotaliines, such as Cibicidoides and 

Anomalinoides have an intermediate susceptibility. 

This implies that mild dissolution of a 

Midway-type benthic assemblage leads to a 

relative enrichment in Lenticulina, Gaudryina 

and rotaliines. Amongst planktic foraminifera, 

the muricate taxa Acarinina and Morozovella 

are most resistant, followed by the cancellate 

Subbotina. The smooth and generally small 

Globanomalina and Zeauvigerina are least 

resistant to dissolution. Our data enable to objectively 

evaluate various degrees of dissolution 

in benthic and planktic foraminiferal assemblages 

retrieved from the lower Paleogene 

Tethyan outcrops. In this way taphonomic artifacts 

can be readily distinguished from paleoenvironmental 

signals affecting the primary 

composition of the assemblages. More generally, 

we propose that the combined use of foraminiferal 

numbers, P/B ratio and relative 

abundances of non-calcareous agglutinated 

taxa and Lenticulina may provide a powerful 

proxy for assessing dissolution in hemipelagic 

assemblages from Cenozoic and upper Cretaceous 

continental margins. In order to achieve 

more robust pre-Quaternary paleoenvironmental 

reconstructions based on quantitative foraminiferal 

data, application of dissolution 

proxies, like proposed here, or in slightly 

modified form, should become a more widely 

used micropaleontologic procedure. Particularly 

continental margin studies dealing with 

major biotic events (e.g. PETM) or employing 

P/B ratios for sea-level reconstructions should 

benefit from such an approach.

Hottinger L; Caus E. Neues Jahrbuch fur Geologie

253(2-3): 249-279 

The Meandropsinids are defined by their 

diaphanous umbo in their porcelaneous shells 

that is always present at least in their microspheric 

gneration. All members of the family 

Meandropsinidae occurwithin the Senonian 

and are restricted to the Late Cretaceous Pyrenean 

Gulf, except the most simple and smallsized 

members Nummofallotia and Eofallotia. 

In Spirapertolina and Larrazetia only microspheric 

specimens have been found. The 

large-sized members of the Meandropsinid 

family are interpreted as endemists in the 

Pyrenean Gulf in analogy to the larger sized 

representatives of the family Lacazinidae. The 

results of the structural analysis of the Meandropsinidae 

oblige to introduce the following 

new linnean names: Eofallotia simplex n. gen. 

n. sp., Fascispira schlumbergeri n. sp. and 

Alexina papyracea n. gen. n. sp.

Four metrics (extinction ratio, speciation 

ratio, taxonomic flux and volatility) were used 

to quantify the planktic foraminiferal extinction 

and evolutionary pattern across the Cretaceous-Tertiary 

(K-T) boundary at El Kef (Tunisia). 

They revealed a stasis episode in the 

terminal Maastrichtian, a K-T catastrophic 

mass extinction and a post-K-T evolutionary 

radiation. This pattern was also correlated 

with geochemical and isotopic data. The impact 

evidence and the decrease in CaCO3, and 

delta(13)C coincide with a period of high evolutionary 

volatility and significant changes in 

the taxonomic flux which are both very compatible 

with the impact theory.

Piller W E; Harzhauser M; Kroh A. Facies,

Considering the diversity and abundance of 

larger foraminifera examined from a wide 

range of Late Oligocene to Early Miocene palaeoenvironments 

in the Tethyan Seaway, encrusting 

bryozoans make extremely little use 

of their tests as substratum. Significant encrustations 

by bryozoans were exclusively 

found on large (ø c. 6 cm), undulating tests of 

Lepidocyclina spp., on which, however, a remarkable 

34 taxa of encrusting bryozoans 

were recorded. This shallow-water fauna of 

Chattian age was analyzed in respect of the 

bryozoan taxa present, colony growth type, 

and mode of budding, colony size, as well as 

onset of reproduction. Taxic and morphological 

similarities between the fossil assemblage 

and modern faunas encrusting mobile substrata 

indicate a long history of bryozoans as 

part of the interstitial habitat, while the tests of 

certain larger foraminifera may have played a 

significant role in the evolution of shallowwater 

bryozoans by providing substrata for 

encrusting species in otherwise unfavorable 

environments.

波罗的海哥特兰岛深水区层状沉积中的底

during formation of laminated sediments 

in the Gotland Deep, Baltic Sea. ( 英文 ). 

Sohlenius G; Wastegard S; Sternbeck J. 

GFF, 1998, 120(3): 293-296 

Benthic foraminifera were found in laminated 

non-bioturbated sediments from the 

Gotland Deep in the Baltic Sea. The sediments 

were deposited during the Littorina Sea stage 

(8000-3000 C-14 yr. BP), where euxinic conditions 

(anoxic bottom water) prevailed in the 

deepest part of the basin. The bottom water 

became occasionally oxygenated when saline 

oxic water entered the basin. During some of 

the oxic periods, a benthic oxygen-demanding 

fauna was able to colonise. The oxygen levels 

below the sediment-water interface were, 

however, too low to admit a burrowing fauna. 

The foraminifera were protected from upward 

diffusing H2S by a layer of manganese oxide 

acting as a redox buffer. It is concluded that 

colonisation of benthic foraminifera occurred 

during short periods suggesting that an establishment 

could take place if the deep bottoms 

of the present-day Baltic Sea became oxic.

Journal, 2010, 45(2-3): 308 - 318 

The Gyanyima Limestone is one of the isolated 

carbonate build-ups that have a probable 

Neotethyan seamount origin, distributed along 

the Yarlung-Zangbo Suture in southern Tibet. 

The limestone yields a highly diversified foraminiferal 

fauna consisting of nine fusuline 

and 37 taxa of non-fusuline foraminifers. This 

foraminiferal fauna is dominated by 

Reichelina pulchra, Colaniella parva and the 

characteristic boultoniid genus Dilatofusulina. 

We propose a new foraminiferal zone, the 

Reichelina pulchra-Colaniella parva- 

Dilatofusulina orthogonios Zone that represents 

the last prosperous stage of foraminifers 

just before the end-Permian mass extinction. 

This zone can be correlated broadly with the 

Palaeofusulina sinensis Zone in the Eastern 

Tethys based on advanced features observed 

in the major elements of the fauna. The composition 

of the fauna suggests that during the 

late Changhsingian, the Gyanyima Limestone 

occupied a palaeogeographic position at lower 

latitudes in the Neotethys. The fauna was 

largely influenced by the warm-water equatoro-tropical

Thirteen different orthophragminid taxa 

could be separated typologically from a single 

sample collected by C. W. Drooger. Drooger 

doubted the existence of many co-occurring 

evolutionary lineages of larger foraminifera in 

the Eocene suggesting that this may be an artifact 

of the typological species concept widely 

used by the Paleogene larger foraminiferal 

experts. It is shown here that typologically 

determined taxa cn be separated as well with 

the morphometric method, recommended by 

Drooger. This provesalso the validity of the 

concept os simultaneous evolutionary lineages. 

It has been found that the typological method 

is preferable when separatingdifferent taxa in 

single samples, but in some cases, the independence 

of quantitatively close populations 

can only be proved biometrically.

There is a group of variegated marine deposits, 

including the red beds widespread in 

the area of Tianba, Kangmar, southern Tibet, 

which previous works have contributed to 

Cretaceous Zongzhuo Formation by lithologic 

associations only, but with poor fossil evidence. 

Due to the absence of age dating fossils, 

the red bed age is obscure. Abundant Cretaceous 

radiolaria were discovered from the 

Zongzhuo Formation in the present study. In 

spite of the poor general preservation of some 

radiolarian specimens as recrystallized quartz 

infillings, 58 species from 46 genera of radiolaria, 

extracted from chert and silicous limestone 

of the Zongzhuo Formation in Kangmar, 

were identified on the basis of their shape and 

ornamentation. Based on the radiolaria, the 

age of the Zongzhuo Formation of this area 

has been referred to as Late Cretaceous. The 

new radiolarian data from the Zongzhuo Formation 

of Tianba area provide a local basis to 

correlate these deposits with other regions of 

the Tethyan Himalaya.

Vestimentiferan tube worms living at deepsea 

bydrothermal vents and cold seeps have 

been considered as a clade with a long and 

continuing evolutionary history in these ecosystems. 

Eheareas the fossil record appears to 

support this view, molecular age estimates do 

not. The two main features that are used to 

identify vestimentiferan tubes in the fossil record 

are longitudinal ridges on the tube's surface 

and a tube wall constructed of multiple 

layers. It is shown here that chaetopterid tubes 

from modern vents and seeps--as well as a 

number of fossil tubes from shallow-water 

enrironments -- also show these two features. 

We suggest that: current estimates for a relatively 

young evolutionary age based on mo- 

80

lecular clock methods may be more reliable 

than the inferences of "vestimentiferans" 

based on putative fossils of these worms; not 

all of these putative fossils actually belong to 

this group; and that tubes from fossil seeps 

should be investigated for chitinous remains to 

substantiate claims of their potnetial siboglimid 

affinities.

Lower (Latorp horizon) and Middle (Volchov 

and Kunda horizons) Ordovician of the Leningrad 

Region, these bryozoans are shown to 

develop from the simple, unilaminate colonies 

(B I β ) to the massive colonies with a nodular 

surface and smooth columnar colonies (B II α ), 

which subsequently evolved into the columnar-spiral 

(B II β ) and more complex erect 

branching and fenestrate constructions (B II γ ), 

and subsequently into the branching, articulate 

colonies (B III α ). The apertures of autozooecia 

and the character of their arrangement on the 

colony surface changed correlatively from the 

circular (B I β ) to polygonal and roundedpolygonal, 

randomly arranged apertures, and subsequently 

to the oval apertures (B III α ) arranged 

in strictly regular longitudinal or longitudinaldiagonal 

rows or in a quincuncial pattern. 

Thus, the development of growth habits in the 

bryozoans under consideration has a progressive 

character. It is expressed in the progressive 

increase in the complexity of growth habits 

of colonies and in the more regular arrangement 

of apertures and other structures on 

the colony surface. The directionality of morphological 

changes in the growth habits of 

colonies of Ordovician bryozoans was apparently 

closely associated with the development 

of more complex environmental interactions 

of these bryozoans, especially with water currents 

supplying food particles. It is suggested 

that the high competitive ability of bryozoans 

of the class Stenolaemata at early stages of its 

development in the basin of Baltoscandia was 

apparently due to the better use of food resources.

Reassessment of the suite of specimens 

used by William King when he erected the 

fenestrate bryozoan genus Thamniscus in 1849 

has shown that they belong to two genera. 

However, King’s original generic concept 

only allows for some of these specimens to be 

81

included within Thamniscus. These specimens 

are illustrated. A recent generic treatment is 

consistent with King’s original generic concept.

食物浓度对苔藓虫 Electra pilosa 骨骼形态 

的阈值效应 = Threshold effects of food concentration 

on the skeletal morphology of the 

bryozoan Electra pilosa (Linnaeus, 1767). ( 英 

文 ). Hageman S J; Needham L L; Todd C D. 

Lethaia, 2009, 42(4): 438-451 

Many palaeontological studies rely heavily 

on characteristics of the preserved phenotype, 

i.e. the morphology of skeletal hard parts. Although 

the potential for environmental influences 

on the phenotype is expected, rarely is 

the magnitude of the effects quantifiable relative 

to genetic factors. The clonal/colonial 

body plan of Bryozoa allows for the partitioning 

of morphological variance into its genetic 

and environmental factors addressing the 

question of, 'how much phenotypic variation is 

induced in a population by changing a single 

environmental factor' The effects of variation 

of food concentration on whole-colony growth 

rate and on zooid size/morphology can be profound 

in bryozoans. Here we test experimentally 

food effects on the skeletal phenotype of 

the bryozoan Electra pilosa (Linnaeus, 1767), 

an encrusting sheet-like bryozoan. A threshold 

effect was observed for the relationship between 

zooecium size and food concentration. 

Very low concentrations resulted in stunted 

colonies with small zooecia, but at low to intermediate 

concentrations a close relationship 

existed with zooecium size. Maximum 

zooecium size occurred at submaximal food 

concentration and submaximum zooecium 

size occurred at higher food concentrations. 

Previous studies that have reported no effect 

of food availability on zooecium size assessed 

food concentration effects at higher concentrations 

than were effective in the present study. 

In the absence of other factors, variation in 

zooecium size is minimal and unchanging at 

moderate to high food concentrations. Greater 

variation in zooecium size is expected at and 

below threshold food concentrations. We 

show that the preservable phenotype of these 

specimens subjected to controlled and induced 

environmental variation also records information 

with genetic significance.

Exquisite Pywackia baileyi Landing n. gen. 

and sp. specimens from the lower Tiñu Formation, 

southern Mexico, extend the bryozoan 

record into the Upper Cambrian. They are 8 

m.y. older than the purported oldest bryozoans 

from South China, and show that all skeletalized 

metazoan phyla appeared in the Cambrian. 

The new form differs from similar, twig-like 

cryptostomes by its shallow autozooecia and 

an elongate axial zooid, which may be homologous 

to the stolon in nonmineralized 

ctenostomes. It may morphologically resemble 

mineralized stem group bryozoans that retained 

a stolon-like individual, although an 

ability to bud was acquired by the feeding individuals 

(autozooids). The latest Cambrian 

origin of bryozoans, several mollusk classes 

(polyplacophorans, cephalopods), and euconodonts 

was a major evolutionary development 

and can be considered the onset of the 

Ordovician radiation of more complex marine 

communities.

真正的 Dalmanella 和北美晚奥陶世 

dalmanellid 腕足类的分类学意义 = True 

Dalmanella and taxonomic implications for 

some Late Ordovician dalmanellid brachiopods 

from North America. ( 英文 ). Jin J S; 

Bergstrom J. GFF, 2010, 132(1): 13-24 

Examination of topotype material of the 

type species of Dalmanella, D. testudinaria, 

from the Hirnantian strata of Borenshult, 

southern Sweden, revealed several diagnostic 

characters that distinguish the type species 

from some common North American species 

assigned previously to the genus. The typical 

Dalmanella testudinaria has a consistently developed, 

primary medial interspace in the dorsal 

valve, a cardinal process with an invariably 

bilobed myophore, punctae of two distinctly 

different sizes, and a lack of aditicules. In contrast, 

many Late Ordovician species from 

North America, such as 'Dalmanella' meeki 

and 'Dalmanella' multisecta from the Cincinnati 

type area, consistently have a dorsal medial 

costa, with a strong tendency to develop 

aditicules and a trilobate cardinal process. 

This study confirms the previous notion of 

many authors that true Dalmanella testudinaria, 

83

or the genus as a whole, is either rare or entirely 

absent in North America. Typical Dalmanella 

was predominant in cool-water depositional 

environments (such as the Hirnantia 

Fauna), whereas the North American dalmanellids 

(e.g. Cincinnati-type 'Dalmanella', 

Paucicrura, and Diceromyonia) were most 

abundant and diverse in tropical, epicontinental 

sea settings. A clear definition of the true 

Dalmanella, therefore, has important implications 

for the study of Late Ordovician-Early 

Silurian brachiopod evolution, paleoecology, 

and paleobiogeography.

In this work, the endocerid proterocameroceratid 

Protocyptendoceras is revised using 

new material from La Cienaga, 5 km from 

Purmamarca. The species P. corvalani and P. 

teicherti are considered to be junior synonyms 

of P. fuenzalidae, which is redescribed in detail 

and reillustrated. Specimens preserve 

adapical parts of isolated siphuncles, related 

here to the presence of endocones in a posterior 

portion. Evidently P. fuenzalidae had a 

nektobenthic mode of life in a shallow water 

environment, oriented horizontally. Its palaeobiogeographical 

affinities are mainly with 

Floian proterocameroceratids from Eastern 

Gondwana, such as Anthoceras decorum and 

the related genera Lobendoceras, Ventroloboceras,

Organic remains of tentaculitids have been

archival samples from the Dobrzyca 2 borehole. 

Untill now tentaculids are widely known 

from their abundant mineralised shells. As 

organic remains, on the other hand, they have 

only been known since 2004. The present discovery 

is currently the second one of this kind 

found in Upper Devonian strata. The shape 

and morphology of some recognized tentaculitid 

orgnic remains are similar to embryonic 

and juvenile forms of dacryoconarids beloging 

to orders Nowakiida and Stylionida. Based on 

palynomorphs, the age of the two samples 

investigated has been established as 

Frasnian, RB and Rd local miospore zones.

The paper examines the sytematics, phylogeny

The range morphology of its distinctive 

characters and comparisons with other

extensive cladistic analysis based on morphological 

characters at genus and subgenus levels 

allowed the inclusion of B. (Anchomasa)

establishment of its most appropriate taxonomic 

position. The analysis confirms that 

Barnea s.s. and B. (Umitakea) are its closest 

relatives and that the morphological similarites 

to other taxa are mainly due to plesiomorphies.

The Upper Cambrian Homagnostus obesus/Olenus 

Biozone is well exposed in the old 

quarries at Andrarum, and is typically represented 

by unfossiliferous black shales with 

fossiliferous carbonate concretions. Near the 

north end of the "Great Quarry", however, the 

shales themselves are replete with fossils, and 

in these a 1.8 m section has been logged to 

establish how trilobite populations fluctuated 

through time. Successive bedding planes were 

examined, at l-cm intervals where possible, 

and for each surface trilobite exuviae, with 

rare complete specimens were counted within 

a 5x5 cm quadrat. Olenus and Homagnostus 

are very common, but their abundance fluctuates 

dramatically; they co-occur in the upper 

part of the sequence but are otherwise almost 

mutually exclusive. This suggests that they 

had different ecological requirements. The 

rare Glyptagnostus and the bradoriid "ostracode" 

Cyclotron are confined to particular 

levels; the latter genus is found where no other 

fossils are present and may have been tolerant 

of very low oxygen levels. Eight horizons or 

bands are defined, based upon occurrence and 

abundance of the faunas; these bands are 

sometimes separated by clays, possibly relies 

of storm events. The logged section partially 

overlaps with that of Kaufmann. In our shale 

succession, Olenus truncatus, O. wahlenbergi 

and O. attenuatus are present in sequence, and 

the lengthening and narrowing of the pygidium, 

and the development of lateral spines 

in O. attenuatus as recorded by Kaufmann, are 

confirmed.

The middle Cambrian Lejopyge laevigata 

Zone is poorly exposed in Scandinavia. Both 

this zone, however, and the succeeding Agnostus 

pisiformis Zone are well exposed at a 

classic locality at Gudhem, Vastergotland, 

south-central Sweden. The sequences consist 

of finely laminated alum shale with scattered 

stinkstone (orsten) lenses. Three measured and 

sampled sections yielded a diverse fossil fauna, 

dominated by trilobites, in particular agnostoids, 

and the bradoriid Anabarochilina 

primordialis. Fossils are excellently preserved 

but restricted to the stinkstones. The L. laevigata 

Zone at Gudhem includes several geographically 

widespread key agnostoid species, 

notably Tomagnostella sulcifera, Clavagnostus 

spinosus, Glaberagnostus altaicus, 

Lejopyge laevigata and L. armata. The L. 

laevigata Zone in Scandinavia is here extended 

to include the traditional Solenopleura 

brachymetopa Zone, and its lower boundary is 

defined by the FAD of L. laevigata. Trilobite 

evidence shows that the upper part of the 

Scandinavian L. laevigata Zone approximately 

correlates with the Proagnostus bulbus Zone 

of China and elsewhere.

Abundant arthropod trackways, assigned to 

Diplichnites gouldi, are described from the 

Lower Old Red Sandstone (Early Devonian; 

Lochkovian) of Pant-y-Maes quarry, Brecon 

Beacons, South Wales. The trackways are preserved 

on bedding planes of finely laminated 

planar and rippled siltstones. The sedimentology 

of the succession indicates that these units 

represent bar top and marginal deposits in a 

braided fluvial setting. Two trackway types 

are recognized (Type A and B); comparisons 

86

with contemporaneous myriapodous producers 

favour kampecarid and eoarthropleurid myriapods, 

respectively. Functional analysis of the 

trackways indicates that the producers were 

not using the most efficient, stable, walking 

techniques, but instead utilized in-phase 

'swimming stroke'-like gaits. Together with 

their occurrence on rippled surfaces, and lateral 

displacement of some trackways (attributed 

to currents), this indicates that they were 

produced sub-aqueously.

A new Late Cambrian trilobite-brachiopod 

fauna from the Kurchavinskaya Formation, 

Severnaya Zemlya, northern Siberia, allows 

correlation of the Ketyi Horizon of the NW 

Siberian succession with the praccursor Zone 

of the Baltic olenid zonation. The presence on 

Severnaya Zemlya of the typically Siberian 

trilobite Kujandaspis ketiensis indicates that 

even if Severnaya Zemlya lay on a separate 

plate, whether Kara or Arctida as postulated 

by other authors, then it was still probably not 

far from Siberia. However, the associated 

brachiopods are partly endemic to Severnaya 

Zemlya, thus giving some support to the independent 

palaeomagnetic evidence for their 

origin on a plate separate from Siberia.

The Cautley Mudstone Formation and Cystoid 

Limestone Member of the Ashgill Formation 

(Windermere Supergroup; Ashgill Series), 

from the Cautley district of northern England, 

has yielded an ostracod fauna of more than 30 

species. Many of these have short ranges, 

permitting recognition of stratigraphically 

successive Pusgillian-lower Cautleyan, middle 

upper Cautleyan, and Rawtheyan ostracod 

faunas. Several species are also known from 

the upper Ordovician of North America (Anticosti 

Island), Scotland (Girvan district) and 

the Baltic region (Estonia, glacial erratic boulders 

of northern Germany), providing evidence 

to correlate upper Ordovician successions 

in these areas. The ostracods include 

abundant podocopes, at some horizons accounting 

for more than 80% of the fauna. Binodicopes 

are also common, but palaeocopes 

are rare. Assemblages are typical of a clastic 

dominated open marine shelf setting. Diversity 

at most horizons is low (c. 3-5 species), 

but reaches a peak of between 13-14 species 

in middle Cautleyan horizons. Lower diversity 

at Pusgillian and Rawtheyan horizons coincides 

with the encroachment of deeper marine-shelf 

facies which were probably hostile 

to Ordovician benthonic ostracods. Some of 

the ostracods (particularly Aechmina) have 

distributions suggesting tolerance of a range 

of mid- to deep shelf benthonic palaeoenvironments, 

but none were pelagic. During Ashgill 

times the Cautley district (part of palaeocontinental 

Avalonia) was replete with ostracod 

genera and species which also occur in the 

Baltic region (palaeocontinental Baltica, more 

than 90% generic similarity) and to a lesser, 

but nonetheless significant extent in North 

America and Scotland (parts of palaeocontinental 

Laurentia). Such trans-Tornquist Sea 

and Iapetus Ocean distributional patterns add 

to previous ostracod data that support models 

which show palaeogeographical proximity of 

Avalonia and Baltica, and Avalonia and 

Laurentia, by Ashgill times. The widely cited 

observation, that trans-Iapetus ostracod faunas 

remained strictly provincial until the mid-or 

late Silurian, cannot be sustained.

A new species of a fossil crustacean clam

wichmanni is described from the 

lower Upper Triassic Vera Formation (Los 

Menucos Complex) in R o Negro Province, 

southern Argentina. This discovery represents 

the first record of this family in the Triassic of 

Argentina and the southernmost record of 

South American Triassic 'conchostracans' 

(Spinicaudata). The new species shows close 

87

affinities with Middle Jurassic faunas from 

Antarctica and offers important data on the 

taxonomy (notably the use of ornamentation 

characters), palaeobiogeography (as South 

America hosts the oldest-known fossils of this 

family) and evolution of the Gondwanan faunas. 

Other South American eosestheriid species 

are tentatively recognized. Menucoestheria 

is hypothesized to be the ancestral form of 

the Triassic-Jurassic Gondwanan eosestheriids. 

Relationships between European and Gondwanan 

eosestheriids remain unresolved

BIOSTRATIGRAPHY OF EARLY 

DEVONIAN OSTRACODES FROM 

CELTIBERIA AND PYRENEES (SPAIN). 

( 英文 ). Dojen Claudia; Ignacio Valenzuela- 

Rios Jose; Carls Peter. Palaeontographica 

Americana, 2009, (63): 145-155 

Early Devonian ostracodes are frequently 

considered to be only of little or regional biostratigraphical 

significance. This seems to be 

due to inadequate knowledge: the existing 

scattered stratigraphical and geographical data 

on ostracodes of different facies do not yet 

provide a stable biostratigraphical subdivision. 

This paper presents the biostratigraphical results 

from a detailed taxonomic study of benthic 

ostracodes from Celtiberia (Eastern Iberian 

Chains and Eastern Guadarrama) and 

from an initial study on hemipelagic ostracodes 

from the Spanish Pyrenees. Both of 

these ostracode successions are age-controlled 

especially by conodonts. The studied ostracodes 

from Celtiberia are of an early 

Lochkovian to Zlichovian age. Correlations 

with other age-revised benthic ostracode collections 

revealed that 12 species have comparatively 

short ranges and occur in at least 

two distant paleogeographical areas. Among 

these, Placentella heraultiana Groos- 

Uffenorde, 1979, is considered as an index 

fossil for the gronbergi to nothoperbonus 

conodont zone (Zlichovian). The occurrences 

and revised ranges of an additional 25 longranging 

taxa are documented. Besides, 38 

short-ranging taxa only known from Celtiberia 

provide regional biostratigraphical data. Early 

Lochkovian to earliest Pragian ostracodes 

from hemipelagic facies of the Spanish Pyrenees 

are documented here for the first time. 

These well-dated taxa show a remarkable biostratigraphical 

succession: in almost every 

conodont zone, some taxa newly appear and 

others disappear. Most of these taxa are new 

species and have short ranges. This relatively 

high number of short-ranging taxa that so far 

are exclusively known from the Pyrenees reflects 

the inadequate taxonomic database for 

Lochkovian and Pragian ostracodes. We expect 

to find many of them in coeval strata of 

similar sedimentary facies, especially in Armorica, 

northern Africa, and Nevada. The biostratigraphical 

studies of the Spanish ostracodes 

are promising. Further studies on ostracodes 

with independent and detailed age control 

and a thorough study of long-ranging taxa 

and taxonomic groups are required to improve 

the biostratigraphical application of Early Devonian 

ostracodes.

Two new species of the genus Eumyllocerus 

Sharp, 1896, of the subfamily Entiminae 

Schoenherr, 1823, are described from China. 

Eumyllocerus longisetus sp. n. may be distinguished 

from other species of the genus by its 

long bristle-like, erect setae on the intervals, 

each of which is longer than the width of the 

second interval, the setae arranged in double 

rows, and its shell-like, shiny, dense, metallic 

green scales. Eumyllocerus rotundicorpus sp. 

n. may be distinguished from any other 

Eumyllocerus species by its oval and inflated 

elytral shape, short stout metepisternum, small 

humeri, elytral setae shorter than 0.5 times the 

width of the second interval, the setae arranged 

in double rows, and its golden copper 

and pearl gray scales. The taxonomy of the 

genus is discussed. The two new species are 

described and habitus photographs and figures 

of diagnostic characters are provided. The 

type specimens of the new species are deposited 

in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese 

Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (holotype 

and paratypes) and the Korean Entomological 

Institute, Korea University, Seoul, Korea 

(paratypes).

Fossil freshwater ostracode assemblages 

recovered from mastodon [Mammut americanum 

(Kerr, 1792)] sites in New York State 

differ from their modern counterparts found at 

those localities. Modern and fossil ostracode 

assemblages from the mastodon sites of Hyde 

Park in Dutchess County, North Java in 

Wyoming County and Watkins Glen in Chemung 

County were studied along with associated 

modern hydrochemical and environmental 

information. Shifts in species occurrence 

and abundance are evident upon examination 

of the modern sediments from the Hyde 

Park site at Lozier Pond, and Java Lake, New 

York. Modern analog analyses indicate ostracode 

assemblages at fossil sites Lozier and 

Java resemble those found today in Canada 

and along the United States/Canadian border. 

Using ostracodes as a proxy for water chemistry, 

salinity, and relative temperature at mastodon 

sites has begun to demonstrate the environmental 

effects of the last deglaciation in 

New York, and has provided additional insight 

into the paleoecology of late Pleistocene micro- 

and megafauna.

A new genus Amblomma gen. nov. of fossil 

beetles is erected and can be assigned to the 

family Ommatidae because its two procoxal 

cavities are! contiguous and the articulations 

of the abdominal ventrites are abutting. The 

new genus is similar to Zygadenia Handlirsch, 

1906 (= Notocupes Ponomarenko, 1964), 

Tetraphalerus Waterhouse, 1901, Rhobdocupes 

Ponomarenko, 1966 and Sinocupes Lin, 

1976, but can be distinguished from other 

genera according to the following characters: 

the second segment of antennae is shorter than 

the third one in length; the posterior tarsi with 

the basal segment is obviously shorter than the 

three following taken together in length; the 

antennae reach the posterior ridge of 

prothroax in length, and the sides of the 

prothroax with serrulate margin. Four new 

species of the new genus are described and 

figured: Amblomma psilata gen. et sp. nov., 

Amblomma rudis gen. et sp. nov., Amblomma 

epicharis gen. et sp. nov., and Amblomma stabilis 

gen. et sp. nov. A key to species within 

this new genus is provided. All the specimens

The Hyde Park Mastodon of eastern New 

York State is a 90+% complete specimen dating 

to 11,480 +/- 60 C-14 yr BP, at the very 

end of the Younger Dryas Chronozone (YDC). 

Approximately 500 g of peat and calcareous 

mud was screen-washed and examined from 

each of nine 10-cm-thick slabs collected from 

a trench through well-stratified pond sediments 

adjacent to the site within the basin 

from which the mastodon remains were recovered. 

Subfossil insect remains were recovered 

from each sample, although abundances 

are positively correlated with organic content 

and decreased with depth in the section. Few 

were sufficiently complete to be identifiable to 

the species level, and there was insufficient 

differentiation between samples to allow detection 

of any temporal trends in the fauna. 

Two species, the carabid Amara alpina 

(Paykull, 1790), and the staphylinid Tachinus 

nearcticus Campbell, 1973, are particularly 

key environmental indicators; overall species 

composition of the fauna is consistent with a 

small boreal pond with developing emergent 

herbaceous vegetation and mammalian dung, 

surrounded by open spruce woodland or parkland. 

The environment suggested by the Hyde 

Park beetle fauna suggests conditions comparable 

to those at or near modern treeline in 

northern Quebec and Ontario, with July temperatures 

as much as ca. 6-7 degrees C colder 

than those typical of Hyde Park today.

510 

Palaeobiogeographic patterns of Early Jurassic 

ostracods from the northern and southern 

hemispheres (96 sections located in 

Europe, North Africa, Western Australia and 

North and South America) based on 243 species-level 

records document global patterns of 

distribution that can be compared to those 

previously published on ostracods from the 

European Epicontinental Sea and Tethyan and 

South Panthalassa areas. All described records 

of ostracods from both hemispheres spanning 

the Hettangian to Early Toarcian have been 

compiled and verified, and their patterns of 

origin and distribution have been interpreted. 

Jaccard coefficient of similarity was used to 

asses similarities among European, American 

and Tethyan ostracod shelf faunas. The numerical 

analysis shows a progressive longitudinal 

gradient in provincialism through the 

Early Jurassic, consistent with the northward 

drift of Tethyan ostracod faunas towards the 

European Epicontinental Sea and the southward 

movement of European taxa into Tethys 

and Panthalassa oceans. The spread of cosmopolitan 

species and extinction of endemic species, 

allied to the disappearance of geographical 

barriers, warmer climate conditions and 

rising sea levels can explain the reduction in 

ostracod diversity and the east-west provincialism 

throughout the Early Jurassic. Interchange 

between hemispheres, including bipolar 

distributions, are recognized from the Sinemurian 

time, pointing out that for most of 

the studied period, the climate worldwide was 

warm and tropical.

87 

Silicified sclerites of the latest middle 

Cambrian trilobites, Cyclolorenzella convexa 

and Diceratocephalus cornutus, have been 

recovered from the Sesong Formation, Korea. 

Their morphological similarity and stratigraphic 

occurrences suggest that D. cornutus 

is a descendant of C. convexa. The ontogenies 

of both trilobites demonstrate that a pair of 

long frontal horns in the cephalon of D. cornutus 

is an evolutionarily novel structure. It is 

inferred that redeployment of some preexisting 

regulatory gene played a significant 

role in constructing the frontal horns of D. 

cornutus. The frontal horns may have been a 

defensive structure to deter predators. The facial 

suture of D. cornutus, which extends onto 

the frontal horns and splits them into the dorsal 

and ventral halves, was a solution to enable 

easier forward egression during ecdysis.

The studied nine sections yielded 60 taxa

The P/E transition is characterized by the appearance 

of new taxa rather than extinctions. 

In the late Late Paleocene and Early Eocene, 

changes in the paleobathymetry from deeper 

marine environments in the distal area in the 

south to shallower marine environments in the 

proximal area in the north become pronounced. 

Many of the recorded taxa have a wide geographic 

distribution throhghout the Middle 

east and North Africa. Similarities with basins 

of West Africa are also found, reflecting faunal 

exchanges between this area and southern 

Tethys during the Paleocene and Early Eocene.

Latest Emsian sediments at the famous 

mud-mound- and trilobite-locality Hamar 

Laghdad yielded some red-coloured remains 

of phacopid trilobites. Closer examination revealed 

that the eyes of these phacopids are 

often greenish in colour. EDX-analyses 

showed that the lenses retainced their ogiginal 

calcitic composition, possibly greenish due to 

Fe- and Mn-impurities, while most of the exoskeleton 

was silicified. The silicified parts 

containelevated concentrations of iron which 

causes the red colour. This phenomenon is 

explained by the porosity of the exoskeleton in 

contrast to the homogeneous and massive construction 

of the lenses and their Mg-content. 

These incompletely silicified trilobites nabled 

a reconstruction of the silicification process in 

trilobites. Teir digenetic alteration probably 

occurred as a result of events associated with 

the Cretaceous transgression.

Both genera were previously unknown in 

Iran. the occurrence of Ovalocephalus represents 

the earliest sign of west-ward taxon migration 

from China towards higher latitudes 

along the West Gondwanan margin, which 

may be related to global warming, after a short 

episode of cooler climate in the early to mid 

Darriwilian. Patterns of biogeographical distribution 

of Ovalocephalus and Neseuretinus 

suggest that Central Iran was part of an "overlap 

zone" where tropical and high latitude 

benthic taxa mingled.

Magazine, 2010, 147(4): 570-580 

The Palaeontinidae (Insecta: Cicadomorpha) 

from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone 

of Bavaria are revised. The diagnostic characters 

for three monotypic genera Eocicada Oppenheim, 

1888, Prolystra Oppenheim, 1888 

and Archipsyche Handlirsch, 1906 are reassessed 

based on newly discovered material. 

Beloptesis gigantea (Weyenbergh, 1874), B. 

oppenheimi Handlirsch, 1906, Limacodites 

mesozoicus Handlirsch, 1906, and Protopsyche 

braueri Handlirsch, 1906 are considered to 

be junior synonyms of Prolystra lithographica 

Oppenheim, 1888. Eocicada lameerei Handlirsch, 

1908 is a junior synonym of E. microcephala 

Oppenheim, 1888. A key to the species 

of Solnhofen Palaeontinidae is presented. 

Solnhofen Palaeontinidae and most Cretaceous 

Palaeontinidae most probably form a 

monophyletic group based on the following 

characters: costal area narrow, vein RA 

branching from stem R basally, vein ScP not 

fused with vein RA, clavus much reduced and 

hindwing smaller. Furthermore, Solnhofen 

Palaeontinidae are probably basal to Cretaceous 

Palaeontinidae by the mesonotum lacking 

distinct longitudinal carinae. A fast succession 

from early to more derived Palacontinidae 

took place during Late Jurassic times. 

Early Palaeontinidae declined sharply in the 

Late Jurassic, probably owing to the rise of 

newly evolved insectivorous animals like 

early birds and mammals. Late Palaeontinidae 

with better flight ability survived and became 

a dominant insect group during latest Jurassic 

times.

Calcite isocrinid ossicles show perfectly 

preserved micro- and nanostructural details 

typical of diagenetically unaltered echinoderm 

skeleton. Stereom pores are filled with ferroan 

calcite cements that sealed off the skeleton 

from diagenetic fluids and prevented structural 

and geochemical alteration. In contrast with 

high-Mg calcite skeleton of moder, tropical 

echinoderms, the fossil crinoid ossicles from 

Gnaszyn contain only 5.0-5.3 mole% of 

MgCO3. This low Mg content can be a result 

of either a low temperature environment and 

/or low Mg/Ca seawater ratio.

文 ). Hunter A W; Underwood C J. Acta palaeontologica 

Polonica, 2009, 54(1): 77-98 

Results indicate that distribution of crinoids 

well corresponds to particular facies. Ossicles 

of Chariocrinus and Balanocrinus dominate in 

deeper-water and lower-energy cacies, with 

the former extending further into shallowerwater 

facies than the latter. Isocrinus dominates 

in shallower water carbonate facies, accompanied 

by rarer comatulids, and was also 

present in the more marine parts of lagoons. 

Pentacrinites remains are abundant in very 

high-energy oolite shoal lithofacies. The presence 

of millericrinids within one, partly allochthonous 

lithofacies suggests the presence 

of an otherwise unknown hard substrate from 

which they have been transported. These results 

are compared to crinoid assemblages 

from other Mesozoic localities, and it is evident 

that the same morphological adaptations 

are present within crinoids from simlar lithofacies 

throughout the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous.

tance of Caradoc (Upper Ordovician) graptolites 

from the Cardigan area, southwest Wales. 

( 英文 ). Williams M; Davies J R; Waters R A; 

Rushton AWA; Wilby P R. Geological Magazine, 

2003, 140(5): 549-571 

Graptolites from more than 60 horizons in 

the basinal Caradoc succession of southwest 

Wales, between Fishguard and Cardigan, allow 

recognition of the multidens, clingani and 

linearis biozones. The biostratigraphy permits 

recognition of major differences in the sedimentary 

rock-sequence north and south of 

structures associated with the Fishguard- 

Cardigan Fault Belt. The Penyraber Mudstone 

Formation, disconformably overlying the 

Fishguard Volcanic Group (Llanvirn), is 

partly of multidens Biozone age. It is succeeded 

south of the Newport Sands Fault by 

the Cwm yr Eglwys Mudstone Formation of 

clingani to linearis biozones age. North of the 

fault the Cwm yr Eglwys Mudstone Formation 

is replaced laterally by the northwardsthickening, 

sandstone turbidite-dominated Dinas 

Island Formation (clingani and linearis 

biozones). Graptolite stratigraphical distribution 

indicates that Dicranograptus clingani 

occurs only rarely within the caudatus Subzone 

of the clingani Biozone and that Climacograptus 

antiquus s.l. also does not range 

above the lower part of the clingani Biozone. 

The first occurrence of Dicellograptus morrisi, 

within the upper clingani Biozone, confirms 

its value as a marker for the morrisi Subzone, 

and is associated with the first occurrences of 

Diplacanthograptus dorotheus and Normalograptus 

minimus. Dicellograptus flexuosus, 

used to indicate the morrisi Subzone elsewhere, 

occurs throughout the clingani Biozone 

in the Cardigan area. The linearis Biozone is 

recognized by Climacograptus tubuliferus. 

Oxic bottom conditions in early and early 

mid-Caradoc times largely precluded the influx 

of, or preservation of, graptolite faunas in 

the Penyraber Mudstone Formation. Anoxic 

mudstones of the Cwm yr Eglwys Mudstone 

and Dinas Island formations preserve graptolite 

assemblages of 21 and 26 species, signalling 

strong open marine influences which persisted 

in this area until late Caradoc times. 

This contrasts with the shelfal faunas in the 

Whitland area (south Pembrokeshire), where 

the late Caradoc is dominated by low-diversity 

Normalograptus-dominated assemblages.

the Tremadoc graptolite fauna from northern 

Yukon Territory, Canada. ( 英文 ). Jackson D E; 

Lenz A C. Geological Magazine, 2003, 140(2): 

131-156 

Twenty-two graptolite species are described 

from the Tremadoc portion of the Road River 

Group. In a 220 m thick, graptolite-rich section 

on Peel River, six graptolite biozones are 

recognized which in ascending order are: 

Staurograptus dichotomus, Anisograptus matanensis, 

Adelograptus cf A. tenellus, Adelograptus 

antiquus, Kiaerograptus pritchardi and 

Paradelograptus kinnegraptoides. The Psigraptus 

fauna appears to be confined to a single 

bedding-plane within a thick interval dominated 

by Adelograptus cf. A. tenellus, and for 

this reason we propose a new zone characterized 

by the latter species rather than identify a 

Psigraptus Biozone as in China. The Adelograptus 

cf. A. tenellus Biozone has yielded 

Adelograptus bulmani Spjeldnaes 1963, 

which we propose as the type species for the 

new genus Ancoragraptus. Graptolites recorded 

from the Tremadoc of the Yukon for 

the first time are: Ancoragraptus bulmani, 

Clonograptus magnificus, C. cf. C. multiplex, 

C. cf C. rigidus, Hunnegraptus copiosus, Kiaerograptus

Late Ordovician to earliest Silurian is an 

important geological period marked by large 

geological and biological events. However, 

the strata and fossils of this interval are not 

complete in many parts of the world. Based on 

studies of 43 sites in South China, in particular 

the continuous sections on the Yangtze platform, 

we recognize a complete succession including 

seven graptolite zones and two shelly 

faunas. In ascending order, the graptolite 

zones are the Dicellograptus complanatus, 

Dicellograptus complexus, Paraorthograptus 

pacificus (including Lower Subzone, Tangyagraptus 

typicus Subzone and Diceratograptus 

mirus Subzone), Normalograptus extraordinarius-Normalograptus 

ojsuensis, Normalograptus 

persculptus, Akidograptus ascensus 

95

and Parakidograptus acuminatus zones. The 

shelly faunas are the Foliomena-Nankinolithus 

and Hirnantia faunas, which may be correlated 

with D. complanatus Zone and N. extraordinarius-N. 

ojsuensis to part of N. persculptus 

zones respectively. The biozonation through 

this interval from the Yangtze region can be 

correlated with that of other parts of the world 

such as Dob's Linn in Scotland, Spain and 

Portugal, Thuringia-Saxonia-Bavaria, Bohemia, 

Poland, Kazakhstan, Kolyma, Malaya 

Peninsula, Yukon, Canadian Arctic Islands, 

Nevada, Argentina, Niger and Victoria, Australia. 

The Hirnantian Substage, which has 

been proposed by us recently, includes the N 

extraordinarius-N. ojsuensis Zone, Hirnantia 

fauna and N. persculptus Zone. The base of 

the Hirnantian Substage is marked by the First 

Appearance Data (FADs) of N. extraordinarius 

and A! ojsuensis, which have been determined 

to be synchronous on a global scale.

Older dissepiments are composed of the

core is made of rather irregularly arranged 

growth units made of the fusellar tissue, 

ehereas the outer envelope has a distinct cortical 

appearance.

Bones of small vertebrates (mammals, birds,

from time to time from sites in postglacial 

sediments at Hamilton, Ontario, for over a 

century. One of these sites, at Westdale Ravine,

considered compatible with environments during 

or since the Hypsithermal (last 5000 years). 

A corrected radiocarbon date of 4330±

crocodyliform. The diversity of hybodont 

sharks in the Xietan Formation and the appearance 

of a peculiar pattern of tooth morphology 

in Hubeiodus ziguiensis suggest the 

adaptive radiation of these sharks in freshwater 

systems in China during the Middle Jurassic.

from a single specimen preserving all areas of 

the body. Although many of the bone surfaces

The new taxon shares important characteristics 

with the extant anisolepines and 

leiosaurines, including the morphology and 

placement of the caudal autotomy planes, the 

postxiphisternal inscriptional ribs, and notched 

or fenestrated clavicles that are expanded 

proximally. This is the earliest complete iguanian 

known from the Americas and the earliest 

known iguanian that may be confidently referred 

to an extant "family." A phylogenetic 

analysis including this taxon and other fossil

thick-boned fish linked to the aridification of 

the Qaidam Basin (northern Tibetan Plateau).

Scattered with numerous salt lakes and 

≈2,700–3,200 m above sea level, the giant 

Qaidam inland basin on the northern Tibetan 

Plateau has experienced continuing aridification 

since the beginning of the Late Cenozoic 

as a result of the India–Asia plate collision 

and associated uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. 

Previous evidence of aridification comes 

mainly from evaporite deposits and salinitytolerant 

invertebrate fossils. Vertebrate fossils 

were rare until recent discoveries of abundant 

fish. Here, we report an unusual cyprinid fish, 

Hsianwenia wui, gen. et sp. nov., from Pliocene 

lake deposits of the Qaidam Basin, characterized 

by an extraordinarily thick skeleton 

that occupied almost the entire body. Such 

enormous skeletal thickening, apparently leaving 

little room for muscles, is unknown among 

extant fish. However, an almost identical condition 

occurs in the much smaller cyprinodontid 

Aphanius crassicaudus (Cyprinodonyiformes), 

collected from evaporites exposed along 

the northern margins of the Mediterranean Sea 

during the Messinian desiccation period. H. 

wui and A. crassicaudus both occur in similar 

deposits rich in carbonates (CaCO 3 ) and sulfates 

(CaSO 4 ), indicating that both were 

adapted to the extreme conditions resulting 

from the aridification in the two areas. The 

overall skeletal thickening was most likely 

formed through deposition of the oversaturated 

calcium and was apparently a normal 

feature of the biology and growth of these fish.

泥盆纪 Errivaspis Waynensis 刚性头盾的 

流线模式 = Flow pattern around the rigid cephalic 

shield of the Devonian Agnathan Errivaspis 

Waynensis (Pteraspidiformes: Heterostraci). 

( 英文 ). Botella H; Fariña R A. Palaeontology, 

2008, 51(5): 1141-1150 

Palaeozoic armoured agnathans (or ostracoderms) 

are characterised by having an external, 

bone shield enclosing the anterior part 

of their bodies, which demonstrate great diversity 

of both forms and sizes. The functional 

significance of these cephalic shields remains 

unclear (they may have been a functional analogue 

of the vertebral column, or merely afforded 

protection). Here we assess the importance 

of the cephalic shield in terms of locomotion. 

In order to do this, we have studied 

flow patterns of the Devonian heterostracan 

Errivaspis waynensis (White, 1935), using an 

anatomically correct model of E. waynensis 

positioned at different pitching angles. The 

fluid flow was visualised in a wind tunnel, 

using planar light sheet techniques, adding 

vaporised propylene glycol to the fluid. The 

flow pattern over the cephalic shield of Errivaspis 

is dominated by the formation of leading-edge 

vortices (LEVs). When the model 

was positioned at angles of attack of -2 degrees 

or higher a pair of nearly symmetrical, 

counter-rotating primary vortices were produced, 

which flowed downstream over the 

upper surface of the cephalic shield. At moderate 

angles of attack, LEVs remained attached 

to the dorsal surface, but, as the angle 

of attack increased above 7 degrees, vortices 

began to separate from the surface at posterior 

locations. At a high angles of attack (around 

12 degrees or 13 degrees), vortex breakdown 

(or vortex burst) occured. The body-induced 

vortical flow around the cephalic shield is 

very similar to the that described over delta 

wing aircraft. This strategy generates lift 

forces through vortex generation (vortex lift). 

Based on this analogue and knowing that Errivaspis 

lacked pectoral fins or any other obvious 

control surfaces, vortex lift forces added 

through this mechanism may have played a 

major role in the locomotion of these primitive 

fishes, not only to counteract the negative 

buoyancy of the fish, but also as a means of 

manoeuvring.

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2009, 

46(7): 557-570 

Percid remains from Pliocene deposits on 

Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada, are identified 

as a species of Sander, similar to the walleye 

and sauger of North America and the pikeperch 

of Europe and western Asia. They are 

named as a new species, Sander teneri. These 

remains are the most northerly percid elements 

found to date and suggest the palaeoenvironment 

was significantly warmer in the 

Pliocene than it is currently. The fossil remains 

show the presence in North America of 

the family Percidae as well as the genus 

Sander prior to the Pleistocene, indicating a 

previously proposed Pleistocene immigration 

from Europe or Asia can be discounted. These 

fossils contradict an earlier hypothesis that 

percids, in particular Sander, crossed from 

Eurasia to North America in the Pleistocene; 

instead, the fossils show percids were already 

in the area by the Pliocene.

fish from the Middle Devonian of the 

South Blue Range, Victoria, Australia. ( 英文 ). 

Holland T. Alcheringa, 2009, 33(4): 339 - 353 

A new cosmine-covered, tetrapodomorph 

fish Owensia chooi gen. et sp. nov. is described, 

based on a near-complete, uncrushed 

ethmosphenoid from the Middle Devonian 

sediments (Kevington Creek Formation) at 

Owens Creek, South Blue Range, Victoria, 

Australia. An anteroposteriorly directed basipterygoid 

process, an optic nerve foramen positioned 

dorsal to the basipterygoid process, and 

an oculomotor nerve foramen located posterodorsal 

to the basipterygoid process are established 

as autapomorphies. Owensia shares a 

broad ethmosphenoid shield, a lack of discernible 

sutures between the bones of the 

snout and a dorsoventrally shallow skull with 

cosmine-covered members of the Canowindridae. 

Owensia also shares the first two of 

these features and an occluded view of the 

nostrils from the dorsal surface with Gyroptychius 

australis. However, the phylogenetic 

relationships between these taxa remain unclear. 

Superficial comparisons between Owensia 

and the Northern Hemisphere Lamprotolepis 

are rejected, with the position of the latter 

within the Tetrapodomorpha being questioned. 

A benthic niche for Owensia is suggested 

based on the presence of a dorsoventrally shallow 

skull.

oxyrinchus Mitchill 1815) in France. ( 英文 ). 

Desse-Berset N. Comptes Rendus 

Palevol, 2009, 8(8): 717-724 

To this day, the only sturgeon to be listed 

on the French vertebrate inventory is the 

99

European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio Linnaeus, 

1758). The recent study of sturgeon remains 

on various French archaeological sites shows 

the presence of another species: the Atlantic 

sturgeon (A. oxyrinchus Mitchill 1815). This 

species already existed in the French Atlantic 

region at the end of the Neolithic Age 

5000 years ago and was still to be found 

3000 years later. Thus the A. oxyrinchus determined 

in several Baltic medieval sites are 

neither the only nor the first sturgeons to have 

inhabited European waters. Sturgeon restoration 

projects in European rivers necessitate a 

precise determination of the native species. In 

the case of relict or extinct species, the bone 

remains found on archaeological sites represent 

the most reliable source of information. 

This discovery will also be the starting point 

of palaeogenetical research (mitochondrial 

and cellular aDNA) and will give information 

about the genetic diversity of these threatened 

or recently extinct populations.

Body size variation of a predator is a simple 

way to follow the main changes in its food 

source during its life history or along its evolution 

in ecology and paleoecology, respectively. 

Here, we present possible first evidence 

of such predator-prey co-evolution through the 

study of the body size evolution among sixgill 

sharks (genus Hexanchus) inferred from their 

fossil record and by comparison to the life 

history of its two recent species. As for the 

observed ontogenic diet change of the living 

bluntnose sixgill shark (H. griseus), its ancestors 

appear to have developed a similar penchant 

for dining on marine mammals at the 

end of the Paleogene with a remarkably wellcorrelated 

timing.

在白垩纪末期绝灭后鳍状多刺的 teleost 鱼 

爆发形态变异 = Explosive morphological 

diversification of spiny-finned teleost fishes in 

the aftermath of the end-Cretaceous extinction. 

( 英文 ). Friedman M. Proceedings of the Royal 

Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010, 

277(1688): 1675-1683 

The spiny-finned teleost fishes (Acanthomorpha) 

include nearly one-third of all living 

vertebrate species and assume a bewildering 

array of bodyplans, but the macroevolutionary 

assembly of modern acanthomorph biodiversity 

remains largely unexplored. Here, I reconstruct 

the trajectory of morphological diversification 

in this major radiation from its 

first appearance in the Late Cretaceous to the 

Miocene using a geometric morphometric database 

comprising more than 600 extinct species 

known from complete body fossils. The 

anatomical diversity (disparity) of acanthomorphs 

is low throughout the Cretaceous, increases 

sharply and significantly in the wake 

of the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–P) extinction, 

and shows little change throughout subsequent 

Cenozoic intervals. This pattern of 

morphological diversification appears robust 

to two potential biasing factors: the ‘Lagerstätten 

effect’, and the non-random segregation 

of rare and common taxa along phenotypic 

axes. Dissecting the trajectory of acanthomorph 

radiation along phylogenetic lines 

reveals that the abrupt post-extinction increase 

in disparity is driven largely by the proliferation 

of trophically diverse modern groups 

within Percomorpha, a spiny-fin subclade containing 

more than 15 000 living species and 

identified as showing a substantially elevated 

diversification rate relative to background vertebrate 

levels. A major component of the 

Palaeogene acanthomorph radiation reflects 

colonization of morphospace previously occupied 

by non-acanthomorph victims of the K–P. 

However, other aspects of morphological diversification 

cannot be explained by this simple 

ecological release model, suggesting that 

multiple factors contributed to the prolific 

anatomical radiation of acanthomorphs.

A second species of the placoderm genus 

Placolepis (PI. harajica sp. nov.), based on a 

single articulated specimen from Givetian- 

Frasnian strata in the MacDonnell Ranges, 

demonstrates the occurrence of this taxon 

across the Australian craton. Placolepis (order 

Phyllolepida) is endemic to east Gondwana, 

and other phyllolepids are widespread in the 

Givetian and younger of Gondwana (Australia, 

Antarctica, Turkey, Venezuela), but do not 

occur until Late Devonian (Famennian) time 

101

in the Northern Hemisphere (Europe, Russia, 

Greenland, North America). The disjunct 

space-time distribution of the Phyllolepida is 

inconsistent with palaeomagnetic evidence 

indicating a wide equatorial ocean between 

Gondwana and Laurussia in Late Devonian 

time. This new species provides additional 

evidence supporting a Gondwana origin for 

the group, and later access to northern landmasses 

resulting from closure of the ocean 

between Gondwana and Laurussia and continental 

connection at or near the Frasnian- 

Famennian boundary.

标准分异、树状拓扑和大绝灭之母 : 来自 

temnospondyls 的结果 = Calibrated diversity, 

tree topology and the mother of mass extinctions: 

the lesson of temnospondyls. ( 英文 ). 

Ruta M; Benton M J. Palaeontology, 2008, 

51(6): 1261-1288 

Three family-level cladistic analyses of 

temnospondyl amphibians are used to evaluate 

the impact of taxonomic rank, tree topology, 

and sample size on diversity profiles, origination 

and extinction rates, and faunal turnover. 

Temnospondyls are used as a case study for 

investigating replacement of families across 

the Permo-Triassic boundary and modality of 

recovery in the aftermath of the end-Permian 

mass extinction. Both observed and inferred 

(i.e. tree topology-dependent) values of family 

diversity have a negligible effect on the shape 

of the diversity curve. However, inferred values 

produce both a flattening of the curve 

throughout the Cisuralian and a less pronounced 

increase in family diversity from 

Tatarian through to Induan than do observed 

values. Diversity curves based upon counts of 

genera and species display a clearer distinction 

between peaks and troughs. We use rarefaction 

techniques (specifically, rarefaction of 

the number of genera and species within families) 

to evaluate the effect of sampling size on 

the curve of estimated family-level diversity 

during five time bins (Carboniferous; Cisuralian; 

Guadalupian–Lopingian; Early Triassic; 

Middle Triassic–Cretaceous). After applying 

rarefaction, we note that Cisuralian and 

Early Triassic diversity values are closer to 

one another than they are when the observed 

number of families is used; both values are 

also slightly higher than the Carboniferous 

estimated diversity. The Guadalupian– 

Lopingian value is lower than raw data indicate, 

reflecting in part the depauperate land 

vertebrate diversity from the late Cisuralian to 

the middle Guadalupian (Olson's gap). The 

time-calibrated origination and extinction rate 

trajectories plot out close to one another and 

102

show a peak in the Induan, regardless of the 

tree used to construct them. Origination and 

extinction trajectories are disjunct in at least 

some Palaeozoic intervals, and background 

extinctions exert a significant role in shaping 

temnospondyl diversity in the lowermost Triassic. 

Finally, species-, genus-, and family 

trajectories consistently reveal a rapid increase 

in temnospondyl diversity from latest Permian 

to earliest Triassic as well as a decline near the 

end of the Cisuralian. However, during the 

rest of the Cisuralian family diversity increases 

slightly and there is no evidence for a 

steady decline, contrary to previous reports.

Among the findings, two precaudal vertebrae 

from the Holocene level (with a radiocarbon 

age of 4490 ± 40 years BP) are attributed to 

the golden-striped salamander (Chioglossa 

lusitanica) and constitute the first fossil evidence 

for this species. Because of the poor 

intraspecific genetic diversity of living Spanish 

populations it has been proposed that they 

have a recent origin linked with a postglacial 

expansion from southern refuges. The palaeontological 

data presented in this paper thus 

show that the northernmost expansion of the 

species took place at least as early as the 

Chalcolithic period and permit the estimation 

of its dispersion speed within its potential distribution 

area.

鸭嘴龙 = A new basal hadrosauriform dinosaur 

(Ornithischia: Iguanodontia) from the 

Early Cretaceous of northwestern China. ( 英 

文 ). You Hailu; Li Daqing. Canadian Journal 


A new hadrosauriform dinosaur, Jintasaurus 

meniscus gen. et sp. nov., is reported from 

the Lower Cretaceous Xinminpu Group of the 

Yujingzi Basin, Jiuquan area, Gansu Province, 

northwestern China. It is represented by an 

articulated posterior portion of the skull and is 

unique in having an extremely long, pendant 

and crescentic paroccipital process with its 

ventral tip projecting far beyond the ventral 

level of the occipital condyle. Phylogenetic 

analysis recovers Jintasaurus as the sistertaxon 

to Hadrosauroidea, more derived than 

other Early Cretaceous hadrosauriforms and 

Protohadros from the early Late Cretaceous 

of North America. This discovery adds one 

more close relative to Hadrosauroidea in Asia 

and supports an Asian origin for this group.

trackway from Fumanya (Maastrichtian, 

Pyrenees): further evidence for an 

underprint origin. ( 英文 ). Vila B; Oms O; Galobart 

A. Lethaia, 2005, 38(3): 211 - 218 

The origin of manus-only and manus dominated 

sauropod trackways has been a matter of 

intense debate since two hyphothesis exist: (a) 

manus-only and manus-dominated trackways 

result from a 'swimming' sauropod, and (b) 

they result from a selective underprint phenomenon 

that only leaves the manus recorded. 

Several new sauropod trackways are reported 

in the Fumanya tracksite area (Maastrichtian), 

in SE Pyrenees, where both tracks and undertracks 

are found on the same stratigraphic 

bedding surface. In one of the trackways, 

footprint morphology together with the trackway 

pattern displays a clear succession of manus-only 

impressions attributed to a sauropod 

dinosaur in a walking gait. The ichnological 

comparison between the manus-only trackway 

with the other complete trackway (manus-pes) 

display an identical distribution of the manus 

pattern. This fact clearly points towards an 

underprint phenomenon as the origin for manus-only 

trackways, since it is rather unlikely 

that the same pattern would completely match 

different locomotion behaviours such as walking 

and swimming. Therefore, we suggest an 

interpretation based on the differential loading 

between the hindfoot and the forefoot on an 

upper stratigraphic track-level, for the studied 

manus-only trackway.

陈列上的极地恐龙 : 恐龙迁移的评论 = Polar 

dinosaurs on parade: a review of dinosaur 

migration. ( 英文 ). Bell P R; Snively E. Alcheringa, 

2008, 32(3): 271 - 284 

Cretaceous polar dinosaur faunas were 

taxonomically diverse, which suggests varied 

strategies for coping with the climatic stress of 

high latitudes. Some polar dinosaurs, particularly 

larger taxa such as the duckbill Edmontosaurus 

Lambe, 1917, were biomechanically 

and energetically capable of migrating over 

long distances, up to 2600 km. However, current 

evidence strongly suggests many polar 

dinosaurs (including sauropods, large and 

small theropods, and ankylosaurs of New Zealand) 

overwintered in preference to migration. 

Certain groups also appear more predisposed 

to overwintering based on their physical inability 

(related to biomechanics, natural history, 

or absolute size) to migrate, such as ankylosaurs 

and many small taxa, including hypsilophodontids 

and troodontids. Low-nutrient 

subsistence is found to be the best overwintering 

method overall, although the likelihood 

that other taxa employed alternative means 

remains plausible. Despite wide distribution of 

some genera, species-level identification is 

required to assess the applicability of such 

distributions to migration distances. Presently, 

such resolution is not available or contradicts 

the migration hypothesis.

skeletal remains, comprising the pelvic girdle, 

partial sacrum, both femora, and parts of the 

right tibia and fibula, from the Romualdo 

Member of the Lower Cretaceous Santana 

Formation of northeastern Brazil record the 

presence of a previously unknown coelurosaurian 

theropod dinosaur in that formation. 

The pelvic girdle is noteworthy for the bilaterally 

asymmetrical development of various 

bony features. The specimen also preserves a 

segment of lithified intestinal tract. While still 

in the matrix, the fossil preserved a vacuity 

behind the pubic apron that may indicate the 

existence of a postpubic air sac.

蛇颈龙类颅内解剖 —— 功能性次生颚板的 

证据 = The internal cranial anatomy of the 

Plesiosauria (Reptilia, Sauropterygia): evidence 

for a functional secondary palate. ( 英 

文 ). Buchy M; Frey E; Salisbury S W. Lethaia, 

2006, 39(4): 289 - 303 

In the late 19th Century, the choanae (or internal 

nares) of the Plesiosauria were identified 

as a pair of palatal openings located rostral 

to the external nares, implying a rostrally 

directed respiratory duct and air path inside 

the rostrum. Despite obvious functional shortcomings, 

this idea was firmly established in 

the scientific literature by the first decade of 

104

the 20th Century. The functional consequences 

of this morphology were only reexamined 

by the end of the 20th Century, 

leading to the conclusion that the choanae 

were not involved in respiration but instead in 

underwater olfaction, the animals supposedly 

breathing with the mouth agape. Reevaluation 

of the palatal and internal cranial 

anatomy of the Plesiosauria reveals that the 

traditional identification of the choanae as a 

pair of fenestrae situated rostral to the external 

nares appears erroneous. These openings more 

likely represent the bony apertures of ducts 

that lead to internal salt glands situated inside 

the maxillary rostrum. The 'real' functional 

choanae (or caudal interpterygoid vacuities), 

are situated at the caudal end of the bony palate 

between the sub-temporal fossae, as was 

suggested in the mid-19th Century. The existence 

of a functional secondary palate in the 

Plesiosauria is therefore strongly supported, 

and the anatomical, physiological, and evolutionary 

implications of such a structure are 

discussed.

Danilov I G. Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2008, 

7(6): 383-390 

Togay, a locality from Ol’khon Island, 

Baykal Lake, Russia, has yielded a fauna of 

snakes of Late Middle or early Late Miocene 

age. It is located in a broad area from which 

no Neogene snake has been reported; therefore, 

it represents an important landmark. The 

fauna includes a non-erycine boid, two or 

three colubrids, a viperid of the ‘oriental complex’ 

of Vipera, and perhaps another viperid. 

This assemblage is astonishingly reminiscent 

of the snake faunas from the late Early and 

early Middle Miocene from western and central 

Europe, it being understood that Miocene 

faunas are practically unknown in the geographically 

intermediary area. It may be entertained 

whether a homogenous snake fauna 

inhabited Eurasia (except the southern part of 

the continent) during the Miocene.

Hadrosaurs grew rapidly, and quantifying 

their growth is key to understanding lifehistory 

interactions between predators and 

prey during the Late Cretaceous. In this study, 

we longitudinally sampled a sequence of lines 

of arrested growth (LAGs) from an essentially 

full-grown hadrosaur Hypacrosaurus stebingeri 

(MOR 549). Spatial locations of LAGs in 

the femoral and tibial transverse sections of 

MOR 549 were measured and circumferences 

were calculated. For each bone, a time series 

of circumference data was fitted to several 

stochastic, discrete growth models. Our results 

suggest that the femur and the tibia of this 

specimen of Hypacrosaurus probably followed 

a Gompertz curve and that LAGs reportedly 

missing from early ontogeny were 

obscured by perimedullary resorption. In this 

specimen, death occurred at 13 years and took 

approximately 10–12 years to reach 95 per 

cent asymptotic size. The age at growth inflection, 

which is a proxy for reproductive maturity, 

occurred at approximately 2–3 years. 

Comparisons with several small and large 

predatory theropods reveal that MOR 549 

grew faster and matured sooner than they did. 

These results suggest that Hypacrosaurus was 

able to partly avoid predators by outgrowing 

them.

A new, large Ornithomimid from the Cretaceous 

Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, 

Canada: implications for the study of dissociated 

Dinosaur remains. ( 英文 ). Longrich N. 

Palaeontology, 2008, 51(4): 983-997 

Only two ornithomimid genera, Ornithomimus 

and Struthiomimus, are currently 

known from the Upper Cretaceous of North 

America. However, a number of ornithomimid 

elements from Alberta's Dinosaur Park Formation 

(Upper Campanian), cannot be assigned 

to either Ornithomimus or Struthiomimus. 

These bones, including a frontal, caudal vertebrae, 

and unguals of the manus and the pes, 

come from animals significantly larger than 

any previously known Judithian ornithomimid. 

The frontal exhibits several unusual features, 

including transverse expansion over the prefrontals, 

and extreme reduction of the supratemporal 

fossae. Caudal vertebrae are 

105

characterized by neural arches that are posteriorly 

shifted and transversely expanded. 

Manual unguals possess a highly concave articular 

surface, a flexor tubercle divided by a 

sulcus, and a broad claw. Pedal unguals display 

highly concave articular surfaces, and a 

ridge-like flexor tubercle dividing a deep ventral 

fossa. Although it is difficult to know 

whether these elements represent a single 

taxon, this is currently the most parsimonious 

hypothesis. This study demonstrates how isolated 

dinosaur bones can extend our knowledge 

of dinosaur faunas.

Zelenitsky D K; Therrien F. Palaeontology, 

2008, 51(6): 1253-1259 

Egg clutches of non-avian maniraptoran 

theropods (Dinosauria) are rare, particularly in 

North America where those of Troodon formosus 

are the only maniraptoran clutches 

known. Here we describe a new partial 

maniraptoran clutch and nesting trace referred 

to Montanoolithus strongorum oogen. et oosp. 

nov. (Montanoolithidae oofam. nov.), from the 

Upper Cretaceous Two Medicine Formation 

of Montana. Based on a cladistic analysis of 

reproductive traits, we infer that this clutch 

belonged either to a caenagnathid or to a dromaeosaurid, 

which makes it the first clutch 

known of either taxon. This specimen preserves 

impressions and eggshell fragments of 

at least five eggs on a nest structure. The eggs 

are asymmetrical, paired, and lay radially in a 

ring configuration on the sloped sides of a bioturbated, 

flat-topped sandstone mound. Geology 

of the locality indicates the female nested 

in a poorly-vegetated area of freshly deposited 

sand, possibly near an active river channel. 

This clutch reveals that the egg-layer of Montanoolithus 

strongorum had a unique suite of 

reproductive characteristics and nesting behaviours 

among maniraptorans.

A new turtle, Aurorachelys gaffneyi gen. et 

sp. nov., is described on the basis of a carapace 

and plastron of late Turonian–Coniacian 

age from Axel Heiberg Island in the High Canadian 

Arctic. This turtle is a member of the 

Macrobaenidae, a group that is thought to have 

originated in Asia. It differs from all other 

Late Cretaceous macrobaenids in its nearly 

circular shell. The earliest record of macrobaenids 

in North America documented by this 

specimen, together with the earliest records of 

other turtle clades that presumably originated 

in Asia, indicates that turtle dispersal was episodic, 

with most first occurrences of Asian 

taxa in North America clustering around the 

Turonian. The high global temperatures of the 

Turonian are interpreted as facilitating this 

episode of dispersal of Asian turtle groups into 

North America. Islands and seamounts in the 

young, volcanically active Arctic Ocean during 

the Late Cretaceous may have acted as an 

alternative to an Alaskan intercontinental route, 

and may have allowed macrobaenids to enter 

the part of North America east of the interior 

continental seaway

801-807 

Mycelium-like structures found under 

ESEM within radial sections of fragmental 

dinosaur eggshells would be the endolithic 

fungi coexistent with dinosaur eggs in the upper 

part of the Late Cretaceous Hugang Formation 

from the Wenjiaping section of 

Wenxian, Danjiangkou, northwestern Hubei, 

Central China. The endolithic fungi selectively 

occurred in the bad biomineral zone 

within the columnar layer of the eggshells, 

where the crowded endolithic fungi penetrated 

the columnar layer at near-vertical or nearhorizontal 

angles. The endolithic fungi are 

needle-like, ribbon-like and silk-like, and 5– 

18 μm long, 0.3–0.5 μm wide at their base, 

with pointed tip, and are unbranched. The hyphae 

are mainly composed of oxygen, carbon 

and calcium, and are with minor sodium, potassium, 

chlorine and sulfur. The endolithic 

fungi and host have the same characters in 

lithification, fracture and main chemical composition. 

We suggested that the episode en- 

106

dolithic fungi invading dinosaur eggs may 

have taken place in the interval between after 

formation of dinosaur eggshells and before 

their petrification and that dinosaur eggs invaded 

by endolithic fungi would not be normally 

incubated or would only be incubated 

into venerable and pathologic baby dinosaurs 

to be easily to aborted and contributed to the 

mass extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of 

Cretaceous.

Ji Qiang. Acta Geologica Sinica, 2009, 83(1): 

25-32 

The Nyctosaurus specimen K J1 was reconstructed 

under the hypothesis that there is a 

membrane attached to the crest; the so-called 

headsail crest. The aerodynamic forces and 

moment acting on the headsail crest were analyzed. 

It was shown that K J1 might adjust the 

angle of the headsail crest relative to the air 

current as one way to generate thrust (one of 

the aerodynamic forces, used to overcome 

body drag in forward flight) and that the 

magnitude of the thrust and moment could 

vary with the gesture angle and the relative 

location between the aerodynamic center of 

the headsail crest and body's center of gravity. 

Three scenarios were tested for comparison: 

the crest with membrane attachment, 

the crest without membrane attachment and 

the absence of a cranial crest. It was shown 

that the aerodynamic characteristics 

( increasing, maintaining and decreasing 

thrusts and moment) would have almost disappear 

in flight for the crest without membrane 

attachment and was non-existent without 

the cranial crest. It is suggested from aerodynamics 

evidence alone that Nyctosaurus 

specimen KJ1 had a membrane attached to the 

crest and used this reconstructed form for auxiliary 

flight control.

577 

Sineoamphisbaena hexatabularis Wu et al., 

1993 is the earliest known amphisbaenian represented 

by well-preserved cranial and postcranial 

material. It reveals a mosaic of generalized 

lizard-like features and amphisbaenian 

characters. Most distinctive of the latter are 

features of cranial consolidation adaptive for a 

fossorial way of life. Phylogenetic analyses 

strongly confirm the monophyly of the Amphisbaenia 

inclusive of S. hexatabularis. The 

Amphisbaenia is diagnosed by a suite of apomorphic 

characters. The available evidence 

suggests a probable Amphisbaenia– 

Macrocephalosauridae relationship within the 

Scincomorpha. This is supported primarily by 

the unique modifications of the palate and 

temporal region of the skull. It is argued here 

that the Amphisbaenia evolved in Central Asia 

during the Cretaceous, in response to the transition 

from a perennial lacustrine environment 

to a dry, semiarid eolian environment. The 

relatively primitive morphology indicates that 

S. hexatabularis was not permanently subterranean. 

The further derived modifications of 

later forms are associated with tunneling in an 

environment of more compact soils.

The largest extant snakes live in the tropics 

of South America and southeast Asia where 

high temperatures facilitate the evolution of 

large body sizes among air-breathing animals 

whose body temperatures are dependant on 

ambient environmental temperatures 

(poikilothermy). Very little is known about 

ancient tropical terrestrial ecosystems, limiting 

our understanding of the evolution of giant 

snakes and their relationship to climate in the 

past. Here we describe a boid snake from the 

oldest known neotropical rainforest fauna 

from the Cerrejón Formation (58–60 Myr ago) 

in northeastern Colombia. We estimate a body 

length of 13 m and a mass of 1,135 kg, making 

it the largest known snake. The maximum 

size of poikilothermic animals at a given tem- 

107

perature is limited by metabolic rate, and a 

snake of this size would require a minimum 

mean annual temperature of 30–34 °C to survive. 

This estimate is consistent with hypotheses 

of hot Palaeocene neotropics with high 

concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 based on 

climate models. Comparison of palaeotemperature 

estimates from the equator to those 

from South American mid-latitudes indicates a 

relatively steep temperature gradient during 

the early Palaeogene greenhouse, similar to 

that of today. Depositional environments and 

faunal composition of the Cerrejón Formation 

indicate an anaconda-like ecology for the giant 

snake, and an earliest Cenozoic origin of 

neotropical vertebrate faunas.

Ornithischia is one of the two major groups 

of dinosaurs, with heterodontosauridae as one 

of its major clades. Heterodontosauridae is 

characterized by small, gracile bodies and a 

problematic phylogenetic position. Recent 

phylogenetic work indicates that it represents 

the most basal group of all well-known ornithischians 

3 . Previous heterodontosaurid records 

are mainly from the Early Jurassic period 

(205–190 million years ago) of Africa. 

Here we report a new heterodontosaurid, 

Tianyulong confuciusi gen. et sp. nov., from 

the Early Cretaceous period (144–99 million 

years ago) of western Liaoning Province, 

China. Tianyulong extends the geographical 

distribution of heterodontosaurids to Asia and 

confirms the clade's previously questionable 

temporal range extension into the Early Cretaceous 

period. More surprisingly, Tianyulong 

bears long, singular and unbranched filamentous 

integumentary (outer skin) structures. 

This represents the first confirmed report, to 

our knowledge, of filamentous integumentary 

structures in an ornithischian dinosaur

A reptile specimen from the Lystrosaurus 

Assemblage Zone of the Beaufort Group, lowermost 

Triassic of South Africa, represents a

anoplus gen. et sp. nov. is identified as 

the sister taxon of Procolophonidae in a phylogenetic 

analysis of procolophonoids. Stratigraphic 

calibration of the most parsimonious 

tree reveals that four of the six procolophonoid 

lineages originating in the Permian Period 

extended into the succeeding Triassic Period. 

This relatively high taxic survivorship (67%) 

across the Permo–Triassic boundary strongly 

suggests that procolophonoids were little if at 

all affected by the mass extinction event that 

punctuated the end of the Palaeozoic Era (ca.

Gastroliths (stomach stones) are known 

from many extant and extinct vertebrates, including 

dinosaurs. Reported here is the first 

unambiguous record of gastroliths in an ornithopod 

dinosaur. Clusters of small stones 

found in the abdominal region of three articulated 

skeletons of Gasparinisaura cinosaltensis 

were identified as gastroliths on the basis 

of taphonomic and sedimentologic evidence. 

The large mumber of somes found in each 

individual, their size, and the fact that Gasparinisaura 

cincosaltensis was herbivorous, 

and suggest that they were ingested as a result 

of lithophagy rather than accidental swallowing.

Roca Formation is a stratigraphic succession 

of marine and continental sediments that 

belongs to Malargue Group, which was deposited 

from the Late Campanian to the Danian in 

the Neuquen Basin, western Argentina. Fossil 

vertebrates recovered at different outcroppings 

of this lithostratigraphic unit correspond to 

marine taxa. The turtle material studied here 

was collected from the lower section of Roca 

Formation (Maastrichtian-Danian) in northeastern 

Lago Pelegrini (38 degrees 40' 06 '' S, 

67 degrees 52' 02 '' O), Rio Negro Province. 

Remains of carapace and plastron of continental 

turtles were assigned to indeterminate 

chelid pleurodires and to Yaminuechelys cf. 

maior (Staesche, 1929). This record of chelid 

turtles in Roca Formation confirms the existence 

of marine paleoenvironments with continental 

influence and represents the first record 

of Danian continental vertebrates in the 

Neuquen Basin.

跨越二叠纪 - 三叠纪界线的四足类动物灭绝 

的时间和数量 = Timing and magnitude of 

tetrapod extinctions across the Permo-Triassic 

boundary. ( 英文 ). Lucas S G. Journal of 

Asian Earth Sciences, 2009, 36(6): 491-502 

A review of the tetrapod (amphibian and 

amniote) record across the Permo-Triassic 

boundary (PTB) indicates a global evolutionary 

turnover of tetrapods close to the PTB. 

There is also a within-Guadalupian tetrapod 

extinction here called the dinocephalian extinction 

event, probably of global extent. The 

dinocephalian extinction event is a late Wordian 

or early Capitanian extinction based on 

biostratigraphic data and magnetostratigraphy 

(the extinction precedes the Illawara reversal), 

109

so it is not synchronous with the end- 

Guadalupian marine extinction. The Russian 

PTB section documents two tetrapod extinction 

events, one just before the dinocephalian 

extinction event and the other at the base of 

the Lystrosaurus assemblage. However, generic 

diversity across the latter extinction remains 

essentially the same despite a total evolutionary 

turnover of tetrapod genera. The 

Chinese and South African sections document 

the stratigraphic overlap of Dicynodon and 

Lystrosaurus. In the Karoo basin, the lowest 

occurrence of Lystrosaurus is in a stratigraphic 

interval of reversed magnetic polarity, 

which indicates it predates the marine-defined 

PTB, so, as previously suggested by some 

workers, the lowest occurrence of Lystrosaurus 

cannot be used to identify the PTB in 

nonmarine strata. Correlation of the marine 

PTB section at Meishan, southern China, to 

the Karoo basin based primarily on magnetostratigraphy 

indicates that the main marine 

extinction preceded the PTB tetrapod extinction 

event. The ecological severity of the PTB 

tetrapod extinction event has generally been 

overstated, and the major change in tetrapod 

assemblages that took place across the PTB 

was the prolonged and complex "replacement" 

of therapsids by archosaurs that began before 

the end of the Permian and was not complete 

until well into the Triassic. The tetrapod extinctions 

are not synchronous with the major 

marine extinctions at the end of the Guadalupian 

and just before the end of the Permian, so 

the idea of catastrophic causes of synchronous 

PTB extinctions on land and sea should be 

reconsidered

侏罗 - 白垩纪之交行迹的特征、模式及演化 

= Sauropod tracks of the Cameros Basin 

(Spain): Identification, trackway patterns and 

changes over the Jurassic-Cretaceous. ( 英文 ). 

Moratalla J J. Geobios, 2009, 42(6): 797-881 

Sauropod tracks make up only about 2% of 

the Cameros Basin ichnocenosis, but they are 

present over the entire time span represented 

by the Cameros sediments. The makers of 

these tracks are identified in terms of their 

associated trackway pattern as either wide or 

narrow-gauge morphotypes. Narrow-gauge 

trackways dominate the Tithonian-Berriasian 

interval. Wide-gauge trackways become notably 

more common after the Berriasian, although 

narrow-gauge trackways are still present 

and dominate the Cameros ecosystems 

even during the Aptian. At this time, an interesting 

equilibrium between titanosauriform 

and non-titanosauriform sauropod trackways 

is evident, although the latter are somewhat 

more common. A review of the Iberian sauropod 

bone record suggests that Turiasauria + 

Euhelopidae, Rebbachisauridae and Titanosauriformes 

are the three groups mainly responsible 

for the Cameros Basin sauropod 

ichnocenosis.

multiple supernumerary carinae from the Upper 

Triassic of New Mexico (USA), with 

comments on carina development and anomalies 

in the Archosauria. ( 英文 ). Beatty B L; 

Heckert A B. Historical Biology, 2009, 21(1 

& 2): 57-65 

Here we report a tooth of a large archosauriform 

from the Upper Triassic of New 

Mexico, USA that displays developmental 

anomalies of carina formation. This tooth has 

two supernumerary carinae, both on the lingual 

side of the tooth. Previously, carina 

anomalies of this sort were primarily known 

from theropod dinosaurs, but always from the 

labial surface. Integrating this specimen into a 

reassessment of the published accounts of carina 

anomalies in other fossil diapsids reveals 

that supernumerary carinae are more widespread 

throughout Archosauriformes than previously 

reported. Our interpretation of this 

developmental anomaly highlights the present 

lack of understanding of tooth development in 

archosaurs, particularly carina formation, and 

suggests that crown morphology development 

in archosauriforms may be constrained differently 

than it is in mammals. This developmental 

constraint may explain the differences observed 

between the complexity found in 

mammal and archosauriform cusp morphology.

关于飞龙类翼延伸的新模式 = New models 

for the wing extension in pterosaurs. ( 英文 ). 

Prondvai Edina; Hone D W E. Historical Biology, 

2008, 20(4): 237-254 

All powered flying animals have to face the 

same energetic problems: operating the wings 

during steady flight with muscles that require 

constant energy input and neural control to 

work. Accordingly the extant flying vertebrates 

have apparently found very similar so- 

110

lutions to parts of these issues - the biomechanical 

automatism built in their skeletal, 

muscular and connective tissue system. Based 

on these extant analogues (birds and bats) two 

new models are presented here for the mechanism 

of the distal wing extension in pterosaurs, 

an extinct group of flying vertebrates. The 

elongate fourth finger which solely supported 

their extensive flight membrane was a long 

lever arm that experienced significant loads 

and for which a reduction in muscle mass 

through automatisation would have been 

strongly beneficial. In the first model we hypothesize 

the presence of a propatagial ligament 

or ligamentous system which, as a result 

of the elbow extension, automatically performs 

and maintains the extension of the wing 

finger during flight and prohibits the hyperextension 

of the elbow. The second model has a 

co-operating bird-like propatagial ligamentous 

system and bat-like tendinous extensor muscle 

system on the forearm of the hypothetical 

pterosaur. Both models provide strong benefits 

to an animal with powered flight: (1) reduction 

of muscles and weight in the distal 

wing; (2) prevention of hyper extension of the 

elbow against drag; (3) automating wing extension 

and thereby reducing metabolic costs 

required to operate the pterosaurian locomotor 

apparatus. These models, although hypothetical, 

fit with the existing fossil evidence and 

lay down a basis for further biomechanical 

and/or aerodynamical investigations.

Sauropoda) axial remains from the 

Uberaba Formation, Upper Cretaceous, Bauru 

Group, Brazil. ( 英文 ). Santucci R M. Historical 

Biology, 2008, 20(3): 165-173 

The Adamantina and Mar lia formations are 

considered to be the richest vertebrate-bearing 

units in the Bauru Group, Upper Cretaceous, 

Brazil. In contrast, the fossil content from the 

Uberaba Formation, which only outcrops in 

Minas Gerais State, is scarce and poorly understood. 

In this essay the first taxonomically 

informative titanosaur remains unearthed from 

this unit are reported. They comprise anterior 

caudal vertebrae from two different individuals 

corresponding to a probably basal titanosaur 

(CPP-360) and a derived titanosaur (CPP- 

217). Although these remains can be clearly 

distinguished from other titanosaurs on the 

basis of their unique association of characteristics 

like the presence of mildly procoelous 

centra, lateral pits in the anterior caudal vertebrae, 

and prezygapophyses with a dorsal protuberance 

in anterior caudals in CPP-360 and 

the presence of strongly developed prespinal, 

spinopostzygapophyseal and centropostzygapophyseal 

laminae in CPP-217, more complete 

materials are needed to propose them 

new names.

( 英文 ). de Andrade M B; Bertini R J. 

Historical Biology, 2008, 20(2): 101-136 

Since the description of Sphagesaurus, 

mostly dental material has been reported, apart 

from two incomplete skulls. Here we describe 

a new species of Sphagesaurus, from Monte 

Alto City, Southeastern Brazil, which includes 

the skull and most of the mandible. Distinctive 

characters (e.g. antorbital fenestra; robust 

quadrate; anterior mandibular teeth incisiform; 

ornamented sulcate palate) allow differentiation 

from S. huenei. Several characters allow 

assignment to the genus Sphagesaurus (e.g. 

teardrop-like oblique molariform teeth), while 

new information is provided (e.g. premaxilla, 

pterygoid and mandible morphology; jugal 

foramen; occipital surface; battery of mandibular 

teeth). A revision of the Family 

Sphagesauridae Kuhn 1968 is given. A preliminary 

phylogenetic analysis supports a sister-taxon 

relationship for S. huenei and the 

new species. The phylogenetic relationship of 

notosuchians is explored. Sphagesaurids were 

terrestrial notosuchians that evolved during 

the Upper Cretaceous of South America, 

known only from the Adamantina Formation, 

Campanian-Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) 

from Brazil.

111

A new species of the littoral cheloniid turtle 

Euclastes, E. acutirostris, is proposed, on the 

basis of a skull from the Palaeocene Phosphates 

of Morocco, the first turtle record from 

the Sidi Chennane area. It is estimated to be 

Danian-Thanetian in age, possibly younger 

than the previous Danian Moroccan specimens 

of Euclastes. It differs from the other species 

of Euclastes mainly by a more elongated and 

narrower snout, forming a small hook, the 

presence of a long and narrow spur-shaped 

postero-inferior process of the jugal, better 

delimiting the lateral skull emargination and 

the medially shorter palate, in relation to 

American Palaeogene specimens. This study 

indicates the necessity for a world-wide revision 

of the “Euclastes group” in order to redefine 

the taxa. It shows the potential interest of 

the group in the radiation and dispersion of the 

faunas of the Tethysian and Atlantic margins 

during the Cretaceous -Tertiary turnover.

of extant archosaurs: implications for understanding 

dinosaur behaviour. ( 英文 ). Isles 

T E. Historical Biology, 2009, 21(3 & 4): 139- 

214 

Dinosaur behaviour has little legacy in the 

fossil record and the rarity of fossil soft tissues 

makes it difficult to evaluate. Indirect evidence 

from bonebeds, trackways, nesting 

traces and in-group comparisons with extant 

Archosauria suggests that the only substantive 

arguments to be made for dinosaur sociality 

concern cranial ornamentation and herding 

behaviour. There is currently no reliable 

method to determine gender from skeletal remains. 

Dinosaur reproductive anatomy was a 

unique combination of crocodilian and avian 

characters and extant models indicate that dinosaurs 

copulated using a reptilian 'leg over 

back' posture. Reliable evidence for posthatching 

care in dinosaurs is lacking and extant 

archosaurs yield little insight. A hypothesis 

is proposed that for the majority of dinosaurs 

there was no post-hatching care provided 

which would have allowed adults energy 

acquisition that would otherwise have 

been required for defence and provisioning to 

be redirected towards growth and increased 

fecundity, both traits for which there is fossil 

evidence. Arguments suggesting that the more 

advanced aspects of extant avian care boasting 

an explicit coelurosaurian theropod origin are 

rejected as these behaviours appear unique to 

the Neornithes. Three ancestral care hypotheses 

are tested and none conform in a satisfactory 

manner with body fossil and ichnological 

evidence.

1397 

Twelve trackways of ornithopods from 

Lower Cretaceous lacustrine margin deposits 

of the Jindong Formation represent new dinosaur 

track-ways described from Korea. The 

site, discovered during highway construction, 

was rescued by removing the most important 

track-ways to the Korean Natural Heritage 

Center in Daejeon, where they are on permanent 

display. The new ichnotaxon Ornithopodichnus 

masanensis ichnogen. et ichnosp. nov. 

is recognized as a distinctive robust tridactyl 

track, slightly wider than long (l/w ratio = 

0.91), with positive (inward) rotation. The toe 

prints are very thick, broad and U-shaped, resulting 

in a trefoil outline with a smoothly 

rounded hind margin. Digit III is short and 

projects anteriorly much less than digit II and 

IV (= weak mesaxony). Divarication of digits 

II-IV is about 70 degrees with interdigital angle 

II-III larger than III-IV. Track-way width 

is narrow and the stride length/track length 

ratio is about 4.2-4.6. The Ornithopodichnus 

track-ways evidently represent gregarious 

blunt-toed Iguanodon-like bipedal ornithopods, 

although poorly preserved manus traces are 

discerned in a few trackways. Ornithopodichnus 

is distinct from other well known iguanodontid 

tracks that display much stronger 

mesaxony and indicates a polarity in ornithopod 

foot morphology that can be verified by 

reference to known foot skeletons.

A new crocodyliform specimen is presented 

here found in the Cerro Castaño Member of 

the Cerro Barcino Formation (Chubut Group). 

The material consists of cranial and postcranial 

remains that represent a new taxon that 

has strong affinities with Peirosauridae, but 

also shares derived features present in 

Araripesuchus. The phylogenetic relationships 

of this new taxon were tested through a cladistic 

analysis depicting it as a member of the 

Peirosauridae. The inclusion of Barcinosuchus 

within this clade of basal mesoeucrocodylians 

is supported by the presence of hypapophyses 

up to the third or fourth dorsal vertebrae, anterolateral 

facing edge on postorbital, quadrate 

dorsal surface divided in two planes by a ridge; 

mandibular symphysis tapering anterirorly in 

ventral view, lateral surface of dentary convex 

anterior to mandibular fenestra, distal body of 

quadrate well developed, anteroposteriorly 

thin and lateromedially broad. The new 

specimen broadens the temporal and geographical 

distribution of Peirosauridae during 

the Cretaceous of Gondwana, representing the 

southern-most and the most ancient record of 

the group in Patagonia. The new material also 

provides insights on the postcranial anatomy 

of peirosaurids, a group that has been so far 

studied almost exclusively from cranial material.

New age related individual variation for 

Hypsilophodon foxii, a basal euornithopod 

with no confirmed record outside of the Isle of 

Wight (late Barremian), includes an extensor 

groove on the distal femur that is absent and 

then shallow. The sequence of fusion of the 

neurocentral sutures follows the archosaurian 

caudal forwards pattern but fusion in the sacrum 

occurs in different sized individuals. Detailed 

figures are given of the form and wear 

patterns of the teeth. The “Iguanodon/Hypsilophodon/Polacanthus“ 

distal femur 

from Hastings (mid-Valanginian) is probably 

Euornithopoda indet. Large distal femora from 

the Isle of Wight (late Barremian) and Bedfordshire 

(Aptian), with an extensor groove of 

medium depth, are basal Iguanodontia indet. 

“Hypsilophodon” wielandi Galton & Jensen, 

1978 (Barremian, Western USA) is basal 

Euornithopoda indet, not a dryosaurid ; it is 

not a junior synonym of probable dryosaurid 

“Camptosaurus” valdensis lydekker, 1889a 

(late Barremian, Isle of Wight), and both taxa 

are nomina dubia. the record of the dryosaurid 

Valdosaurus, a femur of which was first described 

by owen (1842) as Iguanodon, is restricted 

to England (Sussex, middle Valanginian 

; Isle of Wight, late Barremian). Based on 

differences in horizon and form of the femur, 

Elrhazosaurus n. gen. is erected for the dryosaurid 

Valdosaurus nigeriensis Galton & taquet, 

1982 (Aptian, Niger). The holotype dentary 

of Iguanodon hoggii owen, 1874 from 

Dorset (middle Berriasian) is made the type 

species of the new non-camptosaurid genus 

Owenodon ; a femur referred to “Camptosaurus” 

hoggii from Dorset is Iguanodontoidea 

indet. A small dentary from the Isle of Wight 

(late Barremian) is not Valdosaurus but basal 

Iguanodontoidea indet. An incomplete 

hindlimb (with tibia showing a very large callus 

from a healed fracture) of“Camptosaurus” 

hoggii from Yorkshire (mid-Berriasian) is 

very similar to that of “Iguanodon” hollingtoniensis 

lydekker, 1889b, the femur of which 

is Camptosaurus-like except for the Iguanodon-like 

distal end. This species represents a 

new genus of basal Iguanodontoidea, but its 

diagnosis must await a review of all Sussex 

Wadhurst Clay (middle Valanginian) material. 

Dentary teeth of Owenodon sp. occur in the 

bauxite fissure fill (Berriasian-Valanginian) of 

Cornet, Romania. The bones more derived 

than those of Camptosaurus but not Styracosterna 

or Iguanodontea (which is represented 

by metacarpal II, ungual phalanges) are tentatively 

referred to Owenodon sp. These include 

a maxilla and teeth, cervical vertebra 6, fused 

medial carpals+metacarpal I, distal femora 

(and, tentatively, a frontal, a braincase, a 

dorso-sacral centrum, larger humerus). A 

smaller humerus is basal Euornithopoda indet, 

but most of the described bones are Euornithopoda 

indet. The possible stegosaurian pubis 

from the Isle of Wight (late Barremian) is 

basal Iguanodontoidea indet.

Based on examination of eggshell structure 

and predicted vapor conductances in eggshells 

in recently described material from Argentina 

and China we conclude that pterosaurs buried 

their eggs. Egg-burying imposes theoretical 

restrictions on the distribution of pterosaurs, 

both geographically and spatially, raises the 

possibility of thermal sex determination and 

supports previous suggestions that they exhibited 

nesting fidelity. Some features associated 

with egg-burying, such as weight savings, are 

likely to have been fortuitous pre-adaptations 

for these flying reptiles, but others may have 

disadvantaged them relative to avian competitors 

or increased their vulnerability to extinction 

in a cooling climate.

N. Historical Biology, 2007, 19(3): 225-253 

A nearly complete skeleton of a juvenile 

sauropod from the Lower Morrison Formation 

(Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian) of the Howe 

Ranch in Bighorn County, Wyoming is described. 

The specimen consists of articulated 

mid-cervical to mid-caudal vertebrae and most 

appendicular bones, but cranial and mandibular 

elements are missing. The shoulder height 

is approximately 67 cm, and the total body 

length is estimated to be less than 200 cm. 

Besides the body size, the following morphological 

features indicate that this specimen is 

an early juvenile; (1) unfused centra and neural 

arches in presacral, sacral and first to ninth 

caudal vertebrae, (2) unfused coracoid and 

scapula, (3) open coracoid foramen, and (4) 

relatively smooth articular surfaces on the 

limb, wrist, and ankle bones. A large scapula, 

short neck and tail and elongate forelimb 

bones relative to overall body size demonstrate 

relative growth. A thin-section of the 

mid-shaft of a femur shows a lack of annual 

growth lines, indicating an early juvenile individual 

possibly younger than a few years old. 

Pneumatic structures in the vertebral column 

of the specimen SMA 0009 show that pneumatisation 

of the postcranial skeleton had already 

started in this individual, giving new 

insights in the early ontogenetic development 

of vertebral pneumaticity in sauropods. The 

specimen exhibits a number of diplodocid features 

(e.g., very elongate slender scapular 

blade with a gradually dorsoventrally expanded 

distal end, a total of nine dorsal vertebrae, 

presence of the posterior centroparapophyseal 

lamina in the posterior dorsal 

vertebrae). Although a few diplodocid taxa, 

Diplodocus, cf. Apatosaurus, and cf. Barosaurus, 

are known from several fossil sites near 

the Howe Ranch, identification of this specimen, 

even at a generic level, is difficult due to 

a large degree of ontogenetic variation.

Biology, 2007, 19(3): 263-271 

Sacral centra are occasionally fused with or 

without severe deformation in Champsosaurus 

(Diapsida, Choristodera). The sympatrical occurrence 

of fusion and non-fusion of sacra in 

adults through their evolution questions that 

sacral fusion represents the final form of a 

simple ontogenetic change or specific variation. 

Females are proposed to possess more 

robust limb bones than males because they are 

considered to have been more terrestrial due to 

the nesting behaviour on land. The coincidental 

occurrence of fusion of sacral centra without 

severe deformation and more robust limb 

bones in same individuals suggests that sacral 

fusion is a phenomenon occurring in females 

as a result of terrestrial adaptation for reproductive 

activities. Sacral fusion associated 

with severe deformation is considered a pathological 

condition although its etiology and 

factors remain undefined.

from south Brazil and the origin of the ornithischian 

predentary bone. ( 英文 ). Ferigolo 

J; Langer M C. Historical Biology, 2007, 

19(1): 23-33 

The South American Late Triassic offers 

the most comprehensive window to the early 

radiation of dinosaurs. This is enhanced by the 

discovery of Sacisaurus agudoensis, a new 

dinosauriform from the Caturrita Formation of 

Brazil. Various morphological features sug- 

114

gest its close phylogenetic affinity to Silesaurus, 

and both may be basal ornithischian dinosaurs. 

Sacisaurus has a pair of elements forming 

the tip of its lower jaw, hypothesized to be 

equivalent to the ornithischian predentary. 

This suggests that during an initial stage of 

their evolution, those dinosaurs had a paired 

predentary, which later fused into a single 

structure. As an originally paired bone, the 

predentary is comparable to elements that 

more often form the vertebrate mandible, such 

as the mentomeckelian bone. Although synapomorphic 

for ornithischians, the predentary 

does not seem neomorphic for the group, but 

primarily homologous to parts of the symphyseal 

region of the lower jaw of other vertebrates.

82 

The comparison of the anatomy of a second 

incomplete skeleton of Guaibasaurus candelariensis 

to that of basal Saurischia suggests 

that the origin of the “Prosauropoda” was 

from unknown basal saurischians, after separating 

from theropods (except herrerasaurids). 

Guaibasaurus and Saturnalia are part of this 

early dichotomy, and they bear mixed characters-states 

of basal theropods and “prosauropods” 

type. The Late Triassic age of both 

Guaibasaurus and Saturnalia (the latter is 

older) predates the 'dominance' of basal sauropodomorphs 

as well as the appearance of the 

basal theropod Zupaysaurus, both recorded 

from the upper Los Colorados Formation of 

Argentina.

Eucnemesaurus fortis Van Hoepen 1920 

from the Late Triassic of South Africa is demonstrated 

to be the senior synonym of the puzzling 

dinosaur taxon Aliwalia rex Galton 1985. 

A new specimen of this poorly-known taxon is 

described. Eucnemesaurus is clearly a sauropodomorph 

and increases the diversity of 

sauropodomorph taxa in the South African 

Late Triassic to six. It shares a number of 

femoral synapomorphies with Riojasaurus 

from the Late Triassic of Argentina and Riojasauridae 

tax. nov. is erected to accommodate 

them. These conclusions are supported by a 

comprehensive cladistic analysis of 46 sauropodomorph 

and other basal dinosauriform taxa 

using 353 osteological characters. This analysis 

also supports the paraphyletic nature of the 

traditional 'prosauropod' assemblage.

Surprising new anatomical information has 

come to light for the early dinosaurs Eoraptor 

lunensis and Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis. 

Eoraptor has a mid mandibular jaw joint, and 

Herrerasaurus has a promaxillary fenestra at 

the anterior end of the antorbital fossa. Initial 

cladistic interpretation placed Herrerasaurus 

outside Dinosauria. Since then, Eoraptor and 

Herrerasaurus have been placed at the base of 

Saurischia or within Theropoda in two largescale 

quantitative analyses. A comparative 

approach is taken here to show, first, that 

character choice is a major factor behind differing 

results; only half of the character data 

critical for each interpretation is incorporated 

into the opposing analysis. In that shared portion 

of data, furthermore, nearly 40 percent of 

character state scores vary for identical, or 

comparable, ingroup taxa. Resolving these 

conflictive interpretations is clearly where future 

progress will be made in understanding 

early dinosaur phylogenesis.

美国怀俄明州上白垩统 Almond 组鸭嘴龙

of a hadrosaurid (Ornithopoda: Dinosauria) 

from the Upper Cretaceous Almond Formation 

of Wyoming, USA. ( 英文 ). Gates T A; 

Farke A A. Cretaceous Research, 2009, 30(5): 

1157-1163 2 图版 . 

The results of Barnum Brown's 1937 expedition 

to the Almond Formation of Wyoming 

consisted of two unidentified ceratopsian 

skulls and a partial hadrosaurid specimen 

(AMNH 3651). The hadrosaurid is here attributed 

to the Maastrichtian genus Saurolophus, 

verifying previous biostratigraphic correlations 

of this formation using ammonite zones. 

115

Fossiliferous lower Maastrichtian formations 

occurring latitudinally between those of Alberta, 

Canada, and southwestern Texas, USA, 

such as the Almond Formation, are essential 

for testing the effects and duration of apparent 

hadrosaurid faunal segregation earlier in the 

Campanian, and indirectly aiding in the 

placement of faunal boundaries that are currently 

unknown for the late Campanian. The 

discovery of Saurolophus in Wyoming, a 

close relative of the Campanian genus Prosaurolophus, 

affirms that the segregation of 

hadrosaurid faunas established in the late 

Campanian (75 Ma) continued for at least 3 

million years. Combining occurrences of 

Saurolophus from Mongolia and the Moreno 

Formation of California with those of Alberta, 

Canada, this genus appears to have had one of 

the largest geographic ranges of any equivalent 

clade of hadrosaurid dinosaur, although 

species level distributions are still uncertain.

澳大利亚维多利亚地区 Otway 群的恐龙洞 

穴及其与白垩纪极地环境的关系 = Dinosaur 

burrows in the Otway Group (Albian) of 

Victoria, Australia, and their relation to Cretaceous 

polar environments. ( 英文 ). Martin A J. 


1237 4 图版 . 

Three enigmatic structures in an outcrop of 

the Otway Group (Albian) of Victoria, Australia, 

compose the first known evidence suggestive 

of dinosaur burrows outside of North 

America and the oldest from the fossil record. 

The most complete of the Otway structures 

nearly matches the size and morphology of a 

burrow attributed to the only known burrowing 

dinosaur, Oryctodromeus cubicularis from 

the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Montana 

(USA). The suspected burrows cross-cut 

alluvial facies and overlie nearby strata containing 

dinosaur tracks. The structures contain 

identical sand fills in their upper portions, implying 

a near-synchronous origin and filling; 

graded bedding in the most complete structure 

also indicates passive filling of an originally 

open structure. This probable burrow is a 

2.1 m long, gently descending, semi-helical 

tunnel, with a near-constant diameter (about 

30 cm) that connects with an enlarged terminal 

chamber. The structures are unlikely to 

have been caused by physical or chemical 

sedimentary processes, and hence are considered 

as biogenic structures; moreover, their 

size and morphology imply tetrapod tracemakers. 

Burrow allometry indicates tracemakers 

with a mass of 10–20 kg, matching size 

estimates for small ornithopods from the Otway 

Group. Burrowing behavior in hypsilophodontid-grade 

dinosaurs, which compose 

most of the dinosaurian assemblage in the 

Lower Cretaceous of Victoria, was proposed 

previously as an adaptation for surviving formerly 

polar conditions in southeastern Australia. 

This paradigm is explored in detail, particularly 

through actualistic examples of 

tetrapod burrowing in cold climates. These 

structures may provide the first clues of ornithopod 

burrowing in these extreme environments, 

while also establishing search images 

for similar structures in other Lower Cretaceous 

outcrops in Victoria.

We present new anatomical information 

showing that Koutalisaurus kohlerorum, from 

the Maastrichtian of Lleida Province, northeastern 

Spain, is most probably the junior 

synonym of Pararhabdodon isonensis from 

the same region. Dentary and maxillary characters 

previously considered as autapomorphies 

of K. kohlerorum and P. isonensis, respectively, 

are shown to be synapomorphies 

uniting the latter with Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus 

from the Campanian of the Wangshi 

Group, Shandong Province, China. 

This study provided conclusive evidence of 

the presence of the Lambeosaurinae in Europe. 

Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus and Pararhabdodon 

isonensis were inferred to form a clade of 

basal lambeosaurines characterized by a maxilla 

with an elevated articular facet for the jugal 

(continuous with the ectopterygoid ridge) 

and an extremely medially projected symphyseal 

region of the dentary. This clade originated 

in Asia during the middle or late Campanian. 

Pararhabdodon isonensis or its ancestors 

migrated from Asia to the Iberian island 

of the European archipelago. Reconstruction 

of ancestral areas by Fitch parsimony attributes 

the European occurrence of P. isonensis 

to a single dispersal event from Asia no later 

than middle to late Campanian.

crocodyliform teeth from the Upper 

Cretaceous (São José do Rio Preto Formation,

1286 7 图版 . 

The six peculiar multicusped teeth described 

here were collected from sediments of 

the Upper Cretaceous of São José do Rio 

Preto Formation, near Ibirá (northeastern São 

Paulo, Brazil). Their bulbous crowns are 

slightly labio-lingual compressed, and bear a 

main plus two accessory cusps, which conceal 

a well developed cingulum. Wear facets are 

seen on the main and distal accessory cusps. 

Comparison to the known Crocodyliformes 

with multicusped teeth show that the new material 

is not referable to “protosuchians” or 

eusuchians, nor related to two unnamed forms 

from Morocco and “notosuchians” such as 

Uruguaysuchus, Chiamaerasuchus, and Simosuchus. 

On the other hand, possible affinities 

with Candidodon and Malawisuchus were 

maintained based on shared traits. This includes 

teeth with the main cusp and some accessory 

cusps arranged in more than one axis, 

a previously defined unambiguous apomorphy 

of the putative clade composed of Candidodon 

plus Malawisuchus. The term Candidodontidae 

can be applied to this group, and defined 

as all taxa closer to Candidodon itapecuruensis 

than to Notosuchus terrestris, Uruguaysuchus 

aznarezi, Comahuesuchus brachybuccalis, 

Sphagesaurus huenei, Baurusuchus 

pachecoi, and Crocodylus niloticus.

A new species of the sail-crested pterosaur 

Tupuxuara is described from the Santana 

Formation of Brazil, Tupuxuara deliradamus 

sp. nov. The holotype, a partial skull, and a 

larger, partial skull referred to the same taxon 

differs from Tupuxuara leonardii by having a 

nasoantorbital fenestra with an acutely-angled 

posterior border with a long, straight posterodorsal 

margin, a reclined cranium, and an orbit 

situated entirely in the ventral half of the nasoantorbitral 

fenestra. Unfortunately, neither 

specimen is comparable with the fragmentary 

rostrum representing Tupuxuara longicristatus. 

In addition, resolution of a recent nomenclatural 

problem over the correct name for the 

clade containing Tupuxuara and its sister 

taxon, Thalassodromeus, is provided. Both 

genera are used by different authors as the 

nomenclatural basis for the group, but “Tupuxuaridae” 

has never been explicitly erected 

as a new taxon, and therefore fails to meet 

ICZN criteria that new taxa are only valid if 

authors clearly indicate their intention to establish 

new names. By contrast, “Thalassodrominae” 

was explicitly erected as a name 

for the Thalassodromeus + Tupuxuara clade, 

thereby fulfilling all ICZN requirements for 

naming of a new taxon and making Thalassodromeus 

stand as the type genus for this 

group.

We report on a turtle from the Mina Esquirol 

site (Vallcebre basin), a new locality of 

early Maastrichtian age in the south-eastern 

Pyrenees. Fossils were located in the basal 

Tremp Formation, which was deposited in a 

littoral marsh. The material consists of a cast 

of a carapace including peripheral fragments 

and partial neural plates. The carapace exhib- 

117

its a vermiculate ornamentation that is characteristic 

of genus Solemys and a histological 

bone structure similar to that of terrestrial taxa. 

However, taphonomic data indicates little 

transport and a short biostratinomic history, 

whereas palaeontological and sedimentological 

context indicates that the specimen was 

preserved in a shallow brackish water environment. 

Based on this taphonomic and sedimentological 

evidence, we suggest that at least 

some species of genus Solemys had a lifestyle 

similar to extant fresh or brackish water turtles 

(terrapins) and that the histological evidence 

alone for a terrestrial lifestyle is misleading.

Dinosaur remains from Upper Cretaceous 

outcrops of northern Gondwana are extremely 

rare, in contrast with the much richer sample 

of coeval beds from southern Gondwana. Dinosaur 

remains from the uppermost Cretaceous 

Ortega locality of the Upper Magdalena 

Basin (Maastrichtian) of the Department of 

Tolima, Colombia, provides new information 

on northern Gondwanan faunas of this time. A 

revision of dinosaur material from this outcrop, 

consisting of three theropod shed teeth, reveals 

the presence of two morphotypes. One 

of them is referred to Abelisauridae based on 

the presence of crowns with mesial margin 

with a strong curvature beginning at about the 

second-third of the crown height and straight 

to slightly concave distal margin. The second 

morphotype exhibits un-serrated mesial and 

distal margins without carinae and no constriction 

at the base of the crown, a combination 

of features only observed in unenlagiine 

dromaeosaurids within Theropoda. Members 

of these clades are also present in coeval beds 

of southern and central South America, Madagascar, 

northern Africa, and India, indicating a 

cosmopolitan distribution in western and central 

Gondwana during the Late Cretaceous. 

Regarding South America, abelisaurid and 

probably dromaeosaurid theropods are recorded 

across a large latitudinal area, from the 

Palaeo-Equator to considerably high palaeolatitudes 

in Patagonia, and probably spanning 

quite different environmental conditions.

The Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone, 

exposed near the town of Escalante, southern 

Utah, consists of large-scale cross-bedded 

eolian deposits that are interbedded with horizontally 

laminated sand sheets and thin sets of 

eolian cross-strata, representing periods with a 

moister climate. The flat-bedded units contain 

numerous tracks and trackways from small to 

large-sized theropod dinosaurs. These tracks 

are today exposed in several distinct erosional 

states, allowing detailed studies of track and 

undertrack formation in eolian deposits. 

Tracks that originally were emplaced on sloping 

surfaces show, in their present-day erosional 

state, a morphology distinct from those 

originally emplaced on horizontal surfaces. 

Further, the range of eroded track morphologies 

can help identify badly eroded tracks 

118

from nonbiogenic structures in similar deposits.

Crown group Archosauria, which includes 

birds, dinosaurs, crocodylomorphs, and several 

extinct Mesozoic groups, is a primary division 

of the vertebrate tree of life. However, 

the higher-level phylogenetic relationships 

within Archosauria are poorly resolved and 

controversial, despite years of study. The phylogeny 

of crocodile-line archosaurs (Crurotarsi) 

is particularly contentious, and has been 

plagued by problematic taxon and character 

sampling. Recent discoveries and renewed 

focus on archosaur anatomy enable the compilation 

of a new dataset, which assimilates and 

standardizes character data pertinent to higherlevel 

archosaur phylogeny, and is scored 

across the largest group of taxa yet analysed. 

This dataset includes 47 new characters (25% 

of total) and eight taxa that have yet to be included 

in an analysis, and total taxonomic 

sampling is more than twice that of any previous 

study. This analysis produces a wellresolved 

phylogeny, which recovers mostly 

traditional relationships within Avemetatarsalia, 

places Phytosauria as a basal crurotarsan 

clade, finds a close relationship between Aetosauria 

and Crocodylomorpha, and recovers a 

monophyletic Rauisuchia comprised of two 

major subclades. Support values are low, suggesting 

rampant homoplasy and missing data 

within Archosauria, but the phylogeny is 

highly congruent with stratigraphy. Compari- 

119

son with alternative analyses identifies numerous 

scoring differences, but indicates that 

character sampling is the main source of incongruence. 

The phylogeny implies major 

missing lineages in the Early Triassic and may 

support a Carnian-Norian extinction event.

Aardonyx celestae gen. et sp. nov. is described 

from the upper Elliot Formation (Early 

Jurassic) of South Africa. It can be diagnosed 

by autapomorphies of the skull, particularly 

the jaws, cervical column, forearm and pes. It 

is found to be the sister group of a clade of 

obligatory quadrupedal sauropodomorphs 

(Melanorosaurus + Sauropoda) and thus lies 

at the heart of the basal sauropodomorph– 

sauropod transition. The narrow jaws of A. 

celestae retain a pointed symphysis but appear 

to have lacked fleshy cheeks. Broad, U-shaped 

jaws were previously thought to have evolved 

prior to the loss of gape-restricting cheeks. 

However, the narrow jaws of A. celestae retain 

a pointed symphysis but appear to have lacked 

fleshy cheeks, demonstrating unappreciated 

homoplasy in the evolution of the sauropod 

bulk-browsing apparatus. The limbs of A. celestae 

indicate that it retained a habitual bipedal 

gait although incipient characters associated 

with the pronation of the manus and the 

adoption of a quadrupedal gait are evident 

through geometric morphometric analysis (using 

thin-plate splines) of the ulna and femur. 

Cursorial ability appears to have been reduced 

and the weight bearing axis of the pes shifted 

to a medial, entaxonic position, falsifying the 

hypothesis that entaxony evolved in sauropods 

only after an obligate quadrupedal gait had 

been adopted.

A dinosaur braincase from the Middle Jurassic 

(Bathonian) of Oxfordshire (England) is 

described. The specimen, which has historical 

significance, has been erratically attributed to 

either a sauropod or a theropod on the basis of 

vague phenetic resemblances. It is here reinterpreted 

in the light of recent cladistic 

analyses of dinosaurs, allowing the first proper 

character-based discussion of its affinities. It 

resembles those of ornithischian and prosauropod 

dinosaurs in the absence of a prominent, 

caudolaterally directed bony sheet from 

either the crista tuberalis (as in all theropods) 

or the crista prootica (as in all sauropods except 

juveniles of the eusauropod Shunosaurus). 

This braincase shows two synapomorphic 

characters of the Eusauropoda: the region of 

the cranium is rostrocaudally shortened and 

the long axis of the supratemporal fenestra is 

transversely oriented. For these characters, 

ornithischians, theropods, and prosauropods 

retain the plesiomorphic condition. It is concluded 

that the specimen is an important exemplar 

of a Middle Jurassic sauropod braincase 

and it is suggested that it could be from 

the eusauropod Cetiosaurus.

of a Callovian pliosaur, derived 

from the Peterborough or lower Stewarby 

Members of the Oxford Clay Formation of 

Peterborough, is described and figured. This 

isolated bone is tentatively identified as belonging 

to an 'adult' individual of Liopleurodon 

ferox that is inferred to have had a skull 

length of 1.26 metres and an overall body 

length of 6.39 metres.

The arrival of a replica of the famous skeleton 

of Diplodocus donated by Andrew Carnegie 

to the Muser Nacional de Ciencias Naturales 

(Madrid) took place almost a century 

ago. It constitutes the first and unique skeleton 

of dinosaur assembled until the eighties of the 

past century the iberian Peninsula. This fact, 

the circumstances that surrounded their accomplishment, 

transports and installation, as 

well as the social and political repercussion 

that it had at the time, is dentailed in the lollowing 

pages. Besides using photographic 

documentation and unpublished handwritten 

documents, it has been collected the abundant 

references to the skeleton published in the 

spanish press, which served as the link between 

paleontology and society.

德国下白垩统 Stenopelix valdensis 的系统 

分类位置和 Pachycephalosauria 的早期化 

石记录 = The phylogenetic position of the 

ornithischian dinosaur Stenopelix valdensis 

from the Lower Cretaceous of Germany and 

the early fossil record of Pachycephalosauria. 

( 英文 ). Butler R J; Sullivan R M. Acta palaeontologica 

Polonica, 2009, 54(1): 21-34 

The holotype of Stenopelix valdensis is the 

most completely known dinosaur specimen 

from the "Wealden" of northwestern Germany, 

but its phylogenetic position has remained 

highly controversial. Most recent authors have 

suggested affinities with the ornithischian 

clade Marginocephalia, and most commonly 

to the marginocephalian subclade Pachycephalosauria. 

A pachycephalosaurian identity 

would make Stenopelix the only confirmed 

pre-Late Cretaceous member of this clade, 

breaking up an extensive ghost lineage which 

extends to the inferred origin of Pachycephalosaurian 

in the Middle-Late Jurassic. A brief 

review indicates that there is no compelling 

fossil evidence for pachycephalosaurs prior to 

the Late Cretaceous.

Here, we provide the first detailed description 

of the cranial skeleton of the iguanodontian 

ornithopod Jinzhousaurus yangi. Many 

previously unrecorded features have been recognised, 

permiting a new and more robust diagnosisw 

for this taxon, which is based on a 

suite of autapomorphic features. Jinzhousaurus 

and an unnamed sauropod represent the 

largest, but some of the least abundant, nimals 

in the Jehol Biota, a situation that contrasts 

with many other Lower Cretaceous faunas in 

which large dinosaurs are common faunal 

components. This rarity may be due to eithern 

palaeoenvironmental constraints or taphonomic 

bias, although it is not possible to 

choose etween these alternatives on the basis 

of current data.

articulation of the tyrannosaurid dinosaurs. 

( 英文 ). Hirasawa T. Acta palaeontologica 

Polonica, 2009, 54(1): 49-59 

The costovertebral articulation is integral to 

constrain the thoracic kinematics and to infer 

the breathing mechanism in the respect with 

costal aspiration. This study highlights the 

Tyrannosauridae, which is represented by numerous 

complete specimens/Costovertebral 

articulations of ten tyrannosaurid specimens, 

including two nearly in-sity articulated fossils, 

were investigated and compared with those in 

extant archosauria. For extant archosaurs, dissections 

were conducted to rationalize the soft 

tissue anatomy in tyrannosaurids. This study 

shows that the rib articulates ventrlly or posteroventrally 

with thedistal end of the corresponging 

vertebral transverse process in the 

tyrannosaurid ribcage. This result provides a 

cornerstone for exploring the evolution of the 

ribcage and breathing mechanisms across the 

theropod lineage leading to birds.

Head and neck posture in sauropod dinosaurs

M P; Wedel M J; Naish D. Acta palaeontologica 

Polonica, 2009, 54(2): 213-220 

The neck posture of sauropod dinosaurs has 

long been controversial. Recent reconstructions 

position the cervical vertebrae and skull 

in an "osteological neutral pose" (ONP), the 

best fit arrived at by articulating the vertebrae 

with the zygapophyses in maximum contact. 

This approach in isolation suggests that most 

or all sauropods held their necks horizontally. 

However, a substantial literature on extant 

amniotes (mammals, turtles, squanmates, 

121

crocodilians and birds) shows that living animals 

do not habitually maintain their necks in 

ONP.Instead, the neck is maximally extended 

and the head is maximally flexed, so that the 

mid-cervical region is near vertical.

with other knowntritylodontids. The 

new taxon is represented by a partially preserved 

upper jaw with three postcanines, collected 

from the upper part of the Shishugou 

Formation in the Wucaiwan area of the Junggar 

Basin, northwestern Xinjiang, China. The 

new species differs from other tritylodontids 

mainly in having posteriormost two cusps of 

the median row on upper postcanines closely 

place. The new tritylodontid may have been 

omnivorous rather than herbivorous, as previously 

suggested for tritylodontids in general.

The structure and orientation of the posterior 

extremity (tail club) of the caudal vertebrae 

of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis 

Young and Chao, 1972 from the Upper Jurassic 

Shangshaximiao Formation has been analyzed 

to determine the tail club function using 

Finite Element Analysis. Of the four caudal 

vertebrae composing the tail club, the second 

largest (C"1") was probably the most 

proximal, and is fixed with the preceding sequence 

of the caudal vertebrae, whereas the 

smallest (C"4") is free and forms the 

termination of the tail club. Our analysis also 

suggests that the tail club is more efficient in 

lateral swinging rather than up-and-down motion, 

and that the best region for the tail club 

to impact is at the spine of the largest of the 

four caudals (C"2"), with a maximum 

load for impact at about 450 N. The tail club 

of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis probably 

also had limitations as a defense weapon and 

was more possibly a sensory organ to improve 

nerve conduction velocity to enhance the capacity 

for sensory perception of its surroundings.

Salzgitter 下白垩统鱼龙 Platypterygius 

hercyniens 的再描述 = Redescription of the 

ichthyosaur Platypterygius hercyniens (KUHN 

1946 ) from the Lower Cretaceous of Salzgitter 

(Lower Saxony,Germany). ( 英文 ). Kolb C; 

Sander P M. Palaeontographica Abt.A, 2009, 

288(4-6): 151-192 

Platypterygius bercynicus (KUHN 1946) is 

a Lower Cretaceous ichthyosaur, the type and 

only specimen of which from the Northern 

Harzvorland of Lower Saxony, Germany, is 

redescribed. The validity of the species is confirmed 

in this work. The skeleton, the bones of 

which are preserved in three dimensions, consists 

of a partial skull, the vertebral column up 

to the anterior caudal region with neural 

arches and ribs, parts of the pectoral girdle, 

both forefins, and parts of the hindfins. The 

referral of the specimen to the genus described 

in this work is based upon the following features: 

an internasal foramen is present; the 

extracondylar area on the basioccipital is 

small; the basioccipital lacks a peg; the occipital 

condyle is semihemispherical; the tooth 

roots are quadrangular in cross section; the 

height/length ratio of the dorsal vertebrae is 

more than 2 in all dorsals; the ratio of the 

height of the cervical vertebral centrum to the 

height of the neural arch is less than 1; the 

outline of the posterior dorsal vertebrae is triangular; 

the humerus has a constricted shaft 

with a distally little expanded end and a long 

and high trochanter; the radius is less massive 

than the ulna; the paddle has no fewer than 7 

digits; there is more than one preaxial accessory 

digit; the intermedium does not contact 

the humerus; the phalanges are characteristically 

rectangular (except towards the tip of the 

paddle). The characters and combination of 

characters that distinguish all the other species 

of Platypterygius from P. bercynicus are: the 

internasal foramen is surrounded only by the 

nasals; the pineal foramen is situated close to 

the nasofrontal suture; the relatively long supratemporal; 

the paroccipital process of the 

opisthotic is strongly developed; the axis is 

not fused with the third cervical centrum; the 

apophyses fuse at centrum 48; the scapula is 

relatively elongate and slender and only 

slightly fan-shaped in its distal part; the humerus 

has distally two large (medial) and two 

small (posterior and anterior) facets for union 

with the pisiform, ulna, radius, and the extra 

zeugopodial element anterior to the radius; the 

pisiform is only slightly crescentic; the forefin 

shows a digital count of 7 in the distal carpal 

region and of eight in the phalangeal region; 

two preaxial and one postaxial accessory digits 

are present; one additional distal accessory 

digit is present and inserts between digit 1 and 

preaxial accessory digit 1; distal carpal 4 does 

not articulate with the intermedium, and distally 

the femur has three equally sized facets. 

The confirmation of the species P. bercynicus 

(KUHN 1946) leads to the conclusion that two 

species of Platypterygius occurred in the Aptian 

of Northern Germany, P. platydactylus 

(BROILI 1907) and P. bercynicus.

The genus Diplocynodon is widely recorded 

in Europe from Early Eocene up to Middle 

Miocene times. A fragmented but almost 

complete skull of a new species of Diplocynodon 

is reported from the Late Eocene locality 

of Domerat, northern border of the Massif 

Central (Allier), France. The present skull 

provides an important basis for comparison 

124

with other members of the genus and complements 

a fossil record full of gaps despite 

the large number of vertebrate localities spanning 

the Cenozoic. The new taxon occurs at a 

key period for climate evolution with conditions 

marking the transition from a greenhouse 

to an icehouse world. The response of crocodylian 

assemblages to this climatic shift is discussed 

in light of evidence for their decline in 

diversity from the Eocene period onward.

Pengana robertbolesi, a fossil raptor from 

the Tertiary of Riversleigh, northwestern 

Queensland, shares with the living genera 

Polyboroides and Geranospiza a distinctive 

morphology of the distal tibiotarsus. The 

modified structure of the intertarsal joint permits 

a much greater degree of both anterioposterior 

and mediolateral flexion than in other 

species of the Accipitridae. Living species 

employ acrobatic foraging methods, using the 

flexible leg to probe hollows and recesses. It is 

considered that P. robertbolesi used similar 

foraging techniques. Because it was approximately 

twice the size of living taxa, it probably 

was capable of predating substantially larger 

prey

Science Bulletin, 2009, 54(3): 430-435 

Recent fossil discoveries have substantially 

reduced the morphological gap between nonavian 

and avian dinosaurs, yet avians including 

Archaeopteryx differ from non-avian theropods 

in their limb proportions. In particular, 

avians have proportionally longer and more 

robust forelimbs that are capable of supporting 

a large aerodynamic surface. Here we report 

on a new maniraptoran dinosaur, Anchiornis 

huxleyi gen. et sp. nov., based on a specimen 

collected from lacustrine deposits of uncertain 

age in western Liaoning, China. With an estimated 

mass of 110 grams, Anchiornis is the 

smallest known non-avian theropod dinosaur. 

It exhibits some wrist features indicative of 

high mobility, presaging the wing-folding 

mechanisms seen in more derived birds and 

suggesting rapid evolution of the carpus. Otherwise, 

Anchiornis is intermediate in general 

morphology between non-avian and avian dinosaurs, 

particularly with regard to relative 

forelimb length and thickness, and represents 

a transitional step toward the avian condition. 

In contrast with some recent comprehensive 

phylogenetic analyses, our phylogenetic 

analysis incorporates subtle morphological 

variations and recovers a conventional result 

supporting the monophyly of Avialae.

The loon, of which wing and pectoral girdle

It constitutes the most substantial

from a unknown horizon of the Quercy fissure 

fillings in southwestern France. It is detailed 

that there are differences in the higher level

as a pterosaur tibiotarsus, is reinterpreted 

as the distal end of the tibiotarsus of a 

basal bird, probably an enantiornithine, on the 

basis of several distinctive characters. It is the 

first report of such a bird from the Dinosaur 

Park Formation and shows that this group was 

present, together with various more derived 

ornithurines, in the relatively high-latitude

Sciences, 2007, 274(1614): 1159-1166 

The phylogenetic pattern and timing of the 

radiation of mammals, especially the geographical 

origins of major crown clades, are 

areas of controversy among molecular biologists, 

morphologists and palaeontologists. Molecular 

phylogeneticists have identified an 

Afrotheria clade, which includes several taxa 

as different as tenrecs (Tenrecidae),golden 

moles (Chrysochloridae), elephant-shrews 

(Macroscelididae), aardvarks (Tubulidentata) 

and paenungulates (elephants, sea cows and 

hyracoids). Molecular data also suggest a Cretaceous 

African origin for Afrotheria within 

Placentalia followed by a long period of endemic 

evolution on the Afro-Arabian continent 

after the mid-Cretaceous Gondwanan 

breakup (approx. 105-25 Myr ago). However, 

there was no morphological support for such a 

natural grouping so far. Here, we report new 

dental and postcranial evidence of Eocene 

stem hyrax and macroscelidid from North Africa 

that, for the first time, provides a congruent 

phylogenetic view with the molecular 

Afrotheria clade. These new fossils imply, 

however, substantial changes regarding the 

historical biogeography of afrotheres. Their 

long period of isolation in Africa, as assumed 

by molecular inferences, is now to be reconsidered 

inasmuch as Eocene paenungulates 

and elephant-shrews are here found to be related 

to some Early Tertiary Euramerican 

'hyopsodontid condylarths' (archaic hoofed 

mammals). As a result, stem members of 

afrotherian clades are not strictly African but 

also include some Early Paleogene Holarctic 

mammals.

Dissected colluvial sediments on a Peace 

River terrace at Bear Flat, northeast British 

Columbia enclosed a late Pleistocene micromammalian 

faunule. The fossil remains, including 

a few loosely articulated skulls and 

mandibles, were dominated by taiga voles 

(Microtus xanthognathus). The Bear Flat site 

constitutes the second fossil occurrence in the 

region of this elusive species, which is unknown 

in British Columbia in historic times. 

The late Pleistocene age, determined by accelerator 

mass spectrometry directly on taiga 

vole bone collagen, is consistent with the ages 

of widespread taiga vole records peripheral to 

the Laurentide ice sheet in western, midwestern, 

and eastern North America. The 

presence of allo-chronous remains within a 

comprehensively dated sedimentary sequence 

provides a cautionary note about straightforward 

acceptance of relative stratigraphic dating.

The Stripe Field Mouse lineage (Apodemus 

agrarius) was present in the Late Pleistocene 

in southwestern France (locality of Bouziès-Q, 

Quercy), according to the age of ca. 17,417– 

17,044 BC of the collected sample (AMS 14 C 

dating of collagen extracted from small 

mammal bones). This occurrence demonstrates 

that a much western expansion of the 

Stripe Field Mouse lineage than believed occurred 

at the end of the last cold phase of the 

Pleistocene, the few fossil populations up to 

now known being both younger and located 

inside the present-day distribution area of the 

lineage. The AMS 14 C date supports the hypothesis 

of the late migration of this species 

into Europe. If tooth morphology indicates 

clear differences with respect to Apodemus 

sylvaticus or A. flavicollis, there are appreciable 

ones between the Bouziès-Q population 

and the present-day Apodemus agrarius of 

western Europe, likely indicating evolution at 

the sub-specific level despite the short time 

period involved.

fossil from the Papua New Guinea highlands. 

( 英文 ). Menzies J;Davies H L;Dunlap W 

J;Golding S D. Alcheringa, 2008, 32(2): 129 - 

147 

A fossil diprotodon jawbone coated and 

impregnated with a well-cemented fine breccia 

or tuff was recovered from weakly consolidated 

Pleistocene lacustrine sediments 

near Yonki in the Papua New Guinea highlands. 

The fine breccia includes angular rock 

and mineral fragments derived from country 

rock, accretionary lapilli and clay minerals. It 

does not include any identifiable primary volcanic 

material. The presence of accretionary 

lapilli and lack of volcanic clasts suggests an 

origin by phreatic eruption—an explosive 

eruption driven by the violent escape of gas. 

Minerals in the fine breccia have an age of 

13.2 ± 0.2 Ma, middle Miocene, as indicated 

by 40 Ar/ 39 Ar analysis. This is the age of the 

country rock that was blasted by the phreatic 

eruption. Igneous activity in the Yonki area is 

thought to have ceased at 7.4 Ma (younger age 

limit of Elandora Porphyry; late Miocene), 

and so it is likely, but not certain, that the 

phreatic eruption occurred not later than 7.4 

Ma. The jawbone, as far as can be told from 

its poor condition, is dentally similar to the 

late Pliocene and possibly Pleistocene 'Kolopsis' 

watutense recovered from other sites in 

New Guinea. Probably, the jawbone, or the 

living marsupial, was buried in the fine breccia 

at the time of the phreatic eruption, and its 

remains were subsequently reworked by river 

erosion and redeposited in the lacustrine 

sediments. Recrystallization and loss of primary 

texture in some of the bone may be a 

result of heating at the time of, or preceding, 

the eruption.

Argentina, 2008, 45(1): 83-91 

Coquenia bondi gen. nov. et sp. nov., the 

first leontiniid of the Lumbrera Formation, is 

described. It was found at a new fossiliferous 

site called El Simbolar, situated north of 

Pampa Grande, Salta province, Argentina. It is 

represented by the skull and jaw with teeth. 

The teeth are brachyodont. The dental formula 

is 3/3; 1/1; 4/4; 3/3. Caniniform incisors, with 

lingual and labial cingulum. This feature associated 

with an 12 more developed than 11 and 

13 indicates that this new taxon is a leontiniid. 

The crown of the upper canine is rotated, and 

has a lingual and labial cingulum. Upper premolars 

have an anterolingual cingulum which 

determines a small basin situated just in front 

of the protocone. Premolars increase greatly in 

size from the P1 to P4, being the P1 highly 

reduced. Upper molars show a lingual cingulum. 

All the molars have a posterior fossa. 

The M3 is wider towards to the base on its 

lingual side. Although Lumbrera Formation 

was considered Casamayoran in age, the taxon 

described in this paper, and other unpublished 

notoungulate remains found in the same 

stratigraphic level, suggests that the red beds 

overlaying the "Faja Verde 11" would be substantially 

younger and could be interpreted as 

Mustersan or even grounger in age. These layers 

could be correlated with those of Casa 

Grande Formation in Jujuy province (Argentina).

The Brasilichnium elusivum ichnospecies 

was described for the first time in Brazil by 

Leonardi, in eocretaceous (Neocomian) continental 

aeolian deposits from Botucatu Formation, 

Parana Basin, and it corresponds to 

trackways of a small sized mammal. The 

tetrapod ichnofossils studied at the present 

work were identified and collected at the Sao 

Bento quarry, located in the city of Araraquara, 

Sao Paulo State. The purpose of this study is 

to report some new data diagnosis to B. elusivum, 

due the occurrence of well preserved 

samples that could serve as base of comparison 

with the holotype and first paratype, and 

allowed to determine the ectaxonic character 

and the tetradactyly (digits II-III-IV-V) in 

semi-plantigrade condition of the hind footprints. 

The tetradactyly was also observed in 

the fore autopodia. The heteropody or the homopody, 

in the occurrence of mammal ichnofossils, 

was interpreted as the result of preservational 

conditions associated to distinctive 

locomotor responses of the same animal during 

its dislocation across the sand dunes of the 

Botucatu paleodesert.

The Los Menucos ichnofauna from the Rio 

Negro province in Argentina, is at present a 

unique Triassic track association known from 

Patagonia. The new footprints described in the 

present study were collected from the same 

levels where the original tetrapod ichnites 

from Casamiquela's works were exhumed. 

The track-bearing levels are included in the 

Los Menucos Complex and correspond to 

fine-grained tuffaceous sandstones interbedded 

with tuffaceous mudstones that contain a 

rich "Dicroidium-type Flora". In the present 

study new groups of trackmakers, that included 

footprints assigned to terapsid dicynodonts 

(Pen tasauropus sp. Ellenberger) and 

putative "lepidosaurs" (Rhynchosauroides 

Maidwell) were identified. The new specimens 

described do not include ichnites related 

to archosaurs (basal archosaurs and/or dinosaurs), 

which are the dominant component in 

most known Late Triassic Gondwanan 

tetrapod faunas. Previous assumptions about 

the relative abundance and high diversity of 

small therapsids, probably theriodonts represented 

by the footprint assemblage are corroborated 

by the new evidence. This unusual 

situation, which is supported by the new findings, 

might be due to the record of an endemic 

fauna actually dominated by therapsid taxa in 

northern Patagonia

This study focuses on ecological processes 

such as competition or predation from an evolutionary 

perspective. First, we attempt to test 

the idea that species with similar feeding requirements 

tend to coexist by separating morphologically 

or behaviourally. Then, the Barton–David 

test was applied to several carnivore 

communities (felids and canids) separated 

in time. Although the preservation bias 

of the fossil record renders our conclusions 

tentative, the general equal size–ratio pattern 

in most of the guilds examined indicates that 

inter-specific competition for prey species 

seems to be a good candidate to explain the 

evolution of guild composition and morphological 

traits throughout the Pleistocene for 

the two groups considered, felids and canids.

( 英文 ). Hartstone-Rosea A; Wahl S. 


Paleoanthropologists have hypothesized 

that, during the evolution of increased carnivory 

in our lineage, hominins transitioned 

through a scavenging niche created by certain 

carnivoran taxa (especially sabertooths) that 

may have lacked the morphology necessary to 

utilize all parts of carcasses, thus leaving an 

open niche of high-quality scavengable remains. 

In this article, we examine the postcanine 

dentition of modern and fossil carnivorans 

using quantifications of occlusal radiiof-curvature 

(ROC) and correlate this morphology 

with feeding behavior to deduce the 

carcass-processing capabilities of the Plio- 

Pleistocene carnivores of South Africa. ROC 

data do a good job of separating taxa by dietary 

category, revealing possible differences in 

the carcass-processing abilities of fossil and 

modern members of some extant species, and 

confirming that Chasmaporthetes was probably 

a hypercarnivore and not a durophage like 

the modern hyenas. Contrary to previous hypotheses, 

sabertooth felids do not appear to 

have been more hypercarnivorous than modern 

felids based on these data.

The habitat and habit of Australia's first

bassiana, found some 130 years ago at 

Wynyard on the northwestern coast of Tasmania, 

remain enigmatic (Aplin 1987, Aplin & 

Rich 1990). Fossil pollen and spores preserved 

in a rafted clast of estuarine silts from the 

same sequence of earliest Miocene marine 

sandstones as the skeletal remains indicate the 

local vegetation was Nothofagus-gymnosperm 

evergreen rainforest, probably with a cryptogam-rich 

rather than woody subcanopy stratum. 

Comparisons with present-day Nothofagus 

rainforests suggest that, although the 

subcanopy would have been sufficiently open 

to allow the passage of a large grounddwelling 

herbivorous marsupial, limited food 

resources are more consistent with Wynyardia 

being a generalist arboreal herbivore

Tribosphenic molars of basal marsupials 

and placentals are a major adaptation, with the 

protocone (pestle) of the upper molar crushing 

and grinding in the talonid basin (mortar) on 

the lower molar. The extinct pseudotribosphenic 

mammals have a reversed tribosphenic 

molar in which a pseudo-talonid is 

anterior to the trigonid, to receive the pseudoprotocone 

of the upper molar. The pseudoprotocone 

is analogous to the protocone, but 

the anteriorly placed pseudo-talonid is opposite 

to the posterior talonid basin of true tribosphenic 

mammals. Here we describe a 

mammal of the Middle Jurassic period with 

highly derived pseudo-tribosphenic molars but 

predominantly primitive mandibular and 

skeletal features, and place it in a basal position 

in mammal phylogeny. Its shoulder girdle 

and limbs show fossorial features similar to 

those of mammaliaforms and monotremes, but 

different compared with those of the earliestknown 

Laurasian tribosphenic (boreosphenid) 

mammals. The find reveals a much greater 

range of dental evolution in Mesozoic mammals 

than in their extant descendants, and 

strengthens the hypothesis of homoplasy of 

'tribosphenic-like' molars among mammals

The interesting finding of a Hippidion 

specimen in sediments referred to the Guerrero 

Member of the Lujan Formation (late 

Pleistocene) in northeast Buenos Aires Province 

is reported. Preliminary considerations 

indicate that the bearing level represents a 

deposition environment similar to existing 

poorly-drained flood plains. Analysis of several 

taphonomic characteristics (e.g. position, 

degree of articulation, soft tissue molds) allows 

considering that the specimen was incorporated 

through swamp-miring that also led to 

its death. Available palaeoautoecological information 

for this taxon allows the possibility 

that the accumulation environment of this 

specimen was a habitat used regularly by the 

taxon. Reconstruction of the taphonomic path 

of this specimen admits the assumption that at 

least some parts of the floodplain could have 

worked as swamp-miring sites. The occurrence 

of this taphonomic mode in the Salado 

River Basin is particularly relevant because it 

accounts for the relative abundance of relatively 

complete and well-articulated skeletons, 

and it also evidences possible taphonomic bias 

related to the frequency of use of this environment 

by each taxon.

A skull and associated mandible of a rodent 

found in the Arenisca Albardon Member, 

Loma de las Tapias Formation, San Juan 

Province,Argentina, is studied. It is assigned 

to the species Cardiatherium chasicoense (Hydrochoeridae), 

being the single record of this 

species out of its type locality, Arroyo Chasico, 

Buenos Aires province. In addition, this 

is the single remain with skull and mandible in 

association, which permits corroboration of 

the assignment to this species of isolated upper 

teeth found in the type locality. This 

specimen was compared qualitatively with all 

the species of Cardiatherium so far recognized, 

and was included in geometric morphometric 

analyses in order to compare morphological 

features that could not be evaluated through 

linear measurements. The specimen is a juvenile, 

and proved to fit within the model proposed 

for ontogenetic growing of cheek teeth 

for late Miocene capybaras. Its assignment to 

C. chasicoense permits the correlation of the 

bearing levels with those of the type locality, 

lithofacies association 3 (Las Barrancas Member) 

of the Arroyo Chasico Formation, suggesting 

an age of ca. 7 Ma for these latter, on 

the basis of a dating of the middle section of 

the Arenisca Albardon Member which yielded 

7.0 + 0.9 Ma. The bearing sediments are interpreted 

as deposited by a braided river. So far, 

all the records of fossil capybaras have been 

found in water-related sediments, in accordance 

with the semiaquatic habits of their 

modern representatives.

Argentina, 2009, 46(3): 513-521 

The description of the femur of the sloth 

Protomegalonyx chasicoensis Scillato-Yane is 

based on a right complete femur (MMP M 478) 

from the Arroyo Chasico Formation (late 

Miocene) in the Southwest of Buenos Aires 

Province. Protomegalonyx chasicoensis is 

131

characterized by smaller size than Protomegalonyx 

doellojuradoi Kraglievich and 

Protomegalonyx praecursor Kraglievich; fovea 

capitis within the femoral head; greater 

trochanter less developed; third trochanter 

slender and projected; as in P. doellojuradoi 

and P. praecursor, distal facets separated and 

epicondyles projected. The sloths present in 

the above mentioned unit are represented by 

five species: the Nothrotheriidae Xyophorus 

bondesioi Scillato-Yane and Chasicobradys 

intermedius Scillato-Yane, Carlini and Vizcaino; 

Anisodontherium halmyronomum 

(Cabrera) (Megatheriidae, Megatheriinae); the 

Octomylodontinae Octomylodon robertoscagliai 

Scillato-Yane, and P. chasicoensis. 

Protomegalonyx Kraglievich and Octomylodon 

Ameghino are recorded from the "conglomerado 

osifero" (late Miocene) of Entre 

Rios Province. Chasicobradys intermedius is 

very similar to Neohapalops rothi Kraglievich 

from the mentioned unit of Entre Rios Province, 

and is probably its junior synonym. This 

suggests a closer relationship between the 

sloth faunas of the Arroyo Chasico Formation 

and "conglomerado osifero" than has been 

noted previously.

Four species that belong to three different 

genera of the tribe Boselaphini have 

been found: Selenoportax vexillarius, S. 

lydekkeri, Pachyportax latidens and Eotragus

from the Hasnot and consequently from other 

Upper Middle Siwalik sediments of Pakistan 

and equivalent strata of the world, extending 

the range of the genus from the Lower to the

Alban (France): Biostratigraphical implications. 

( 英文 ). López-Antoñanzas R; Mein P. 

Geobios, 2009, 42(6): 783-796 2 图版 . 

The material of Hispanomys bijugatus (Rodentia, 

Cricetodontinae) from La Grive-Saint 

Alban (carrière Lechartier, fissure L3) is described 

for the first time and compared with 

all species of the genus known to date. As 

common in the Upper Aragonian populations 

of Hispanomys, this taxon evidences a low 

variability. H. bijugatus shows some progressive 

characters with respect to the remaining 

Aragonian congeneric species, such as the absence 

of labial and lingual cingula surrounding 

the upper and lower molar valleys respectively, 

the increase in the number of roots on 

the second lower molar, and the lost of mesolophs. 

This suggests that H. bijugatus, in spite 

of being one of the oldest species of the genus, 

is relatively derived with regard to the coeval 

congeneric species. Because H. bijugatus and 

H. decedens are believed to be closely related 

species within the same lineage, the fact that 

the former shows a more progressive dental 

morphology than the latter suggests that the 

unnamed fissure-fillings from La Grive and 

La Grive M (with H. decedens only) are older 

than La Grive L3 (with H. bijugatus only). 

The coexistence of both species at locality L5 

suggests an intermediate age.

new marsupial from the early Eocene Tingamarra 

Local Fauna of southeastern Queensland, 

Australia, is named and referred to 

Chulpasia Crochet and Sigé, 1993, a genus 

otherwise known from early Tertiary deposits 

of Peru. This taxon, Chulpasia jimthorselli 

nov. sp., differs in upper molar morphology 

only in minor details from the Peruvian type 

species Chulpasia mattaueri and is almost 

identical in size. New materials referable to 

the Tingamarra marsupial Thylacotinga bartholomaii 

Archer, Godthelp and Hand are also 

132

described. Species of Chulpasia and Thylacotinga 

share many striking derived as well as 

plesiomorphic dental features that allow recognition 

of a new monophyletic subfamily, 

Chulpasiinae. Its familial relationships are in 

doubt, but members of the subfamily could 

have provided the ancestral stock for Rosendolops 

and other early Tertiary South American 

polydolopimorphian marsupials. This is 

the first evidence that a Gondwanan genus of 

therian land mammals spanned South America, 

Antarctica and Australia during the early Tertiary. 

The very close similarity between the 

Peruvian and Australian fossils (and suggested 

short time span between their stratigraphic 

occurrences) provides further paleontological 

support for a trans-Antarctic land connection 

between South America and Australia extending 

well into the early Paleogene.

论 Vincelestes neuquenianus 的系统发育关 

系 = On the phylogenetic relationships of 

Vincelestes neuquenianus. ( 英文 ). Bonaparte 

J F. Historical Biology, 2008, 20(2): 81-86 

This short review paper compares the lower 

jaw and lower dentition of the small Mesozoic 

mammal Vincelestes neuquenianus with some 

other Laurasian and Gondwanan taxa. On this 

basis a set of 90 characters recognised by recent 

authors was assembled and used to construct 

a cladogram. The topology suggests that 

the early Cretaceous mammal from Patagonia, 

Vincelestes, is nested within a clade comprising 

'other Gondwanan mammals', separated 

from Laurasian taxa. In general, because there 

is a lack of Mesozoic mammal skulls from 

Gondwana, meaning that the skull of Vincelestes 

can only be compared with cranial material 

from Laurasia, an incomplete understanding 

of relationships has resulted in earlier 

studies. The prototribosphenic condition of 

Vincelestes is supported by the cladistic analysis 

presented here and permits a number of 

interesting speculations because it is of later 

age than Jurassic tribosphenic mammals from 

Gondwana. It is proposed that the tribosphenic 

condition may have developed first amongst 

taxa on Pangea, before the separation of 

Laurasia and Gondwana.

For more than 20 years, a species of Palaeopropithecus 

has been suspected in the North- 

West of Madagascar. New discoveries in 

breccia from the sites of Belobaka and Ambongonambakoa 

permit us to describe the dental 

morphology of a new species, with a very 

developed parastyle and a mesostyle. This 

morphology is close to that which is found in 

the genus Propithecus. This small sized Palaeopropithecus 

could probably chew little 

bits of harder food than the two larger species. 

The description of this new species occurs 

100 years after the other two, and suggests a 

greater diversity of Palaeopropithecus, extinct 

lemurs of large size and moving in a suspended 

manner like the South-American sloth.

additional material of P."hysudricus" and for 

the first time with P. wui. Though the species 

P. "hysudricus" from the Indian Subcontinent 

needs revision, its presence in Myanmar indicates 

faunal affinities between both areas. 

Propotamochoerus wui is further known from

affinities between SE Asia and southern China. 

The finds are consistent with a Late Miocene

level has yielded remains of Paraethomys 

meini, Ossitanomys alcalai,Stephanomys cf.

the lower part of the odest exclusively continental 

stratigraphic unit distinguished in the

valid. The new megalonychid species described 

here was recovered from the same locality 

as Ah. aureum. The latter is apparently 

more closely linked to the North-American 

Pleistocene forms whereas Australonyx aquae 

may be more closely related to the Antillean 

sloths. The fossil remains of extant taxa recovered 

in association with the new sloth species 

suggest that the region, currently within 

the Caatinga biome, was a mosaic of the Atlantic 

Forest and Savannah biomes during the 

final stages of the Pleistocene.

The Glyptodontidae assemblage of this area

of the face, including the maxillary and premaxillary 

regions were made with specific 

attention paid to the placement of the preorbital 

and subnasal fossae. The morphology of 

these structures are found to be of taxonomic 

value. This study reveals that the most intensive 

growth of the cheek region in both species 

is the period during which the maxillary 

M2 erupts and that the two species have different 

modes of ontogenetic changes in the 

location of preorbital fossa.

several anatomical differences with E. ranzii

The identification of Amahuacatherium peruvium

some authors claiming the specimen is only a 

western Amazonian example of the widespread, 

late Pleistocene genus Haplomastodon. 

Arguments against placing Amahuacatherium 

in synonymy with Haplomastodon include 

diagnostic dental characters, the presence in 

the former of lower tusks in adult individuals, 

and the upper Miocene age of the deposits 

from which it came. Amahuacatherium, as 

originally reported, is the oldest known North 

American mammal to enter South America in

Three genera of Tayassuidae are recognized

Catagonus Ameghino, 1904 and Tayassu 

Fischer, 1814. This study provides the first

yet reported from Bolivia. The richest 

records of the family in South America derived 

from central-eastern Argentina and 

southern Brazil. Catagonus stenocephalus 

(Lund in Reinhardt, 1880) is documented for 

the first time in Bolivia, significantly extending 

the geographic distribution of this species 

in South America. We cannot confirm the validity 

of Platygonus tarijensis (Ameghino, 

1904), but accept its generic allocation. Both 

taxa show adaptations to arid or semi-arid and 

relatively open environments, which is consistent 

with the palaeoenvironmental conditions

veracity of other records of the family from 

Bolivia cannot be confirmed.

Palevol, 2010, 9(1-2): 55-62 

Fossil puma-like cats (Puma pardoides) are 

recorded from several Late Pliocene to Early 

Pleistocene Eurasian localities, but the interpretation 

of the phylogenetic relationships between 

them and the extant puma (Puma concolor) 

remains controversial. In the past, extinct 

puma-like cats have been classified into 

several genera and species, and a close relationship 

with both pumas (Puma concolor) 

and snow leopards (Uncia uncia) has been 

suggested. Here, we describe the fossil remains 

of puma-like cats from the Iberian Peninsula. 

These remains (from the localities of 

La Puebla de Valverde, Cueva Victoria and 

Vallparadís) cover the whole known chronological 

distribution of this species in Eurasia. 

Although there are dentognathic similarities 

with U. uncia, the Iberian remains of P. pardoides 

most closely resemble the extant P. 

concolor. It is concluded that P. pardoides is 

closely related to living pumas, which supports 

a likely Eurasian origin of the puma 

lineage.

The Late Cretaceous record of mammals 

from India assumes great significance in view 

of the fact that it is the only Gondwanan 

landmass that has yielded definitive eutherian 

mammals. These mammals have variously 

been assigned to palaeoryctids, archontans or 

Eutheria incertae sedis. Well preserved lower 

molars recovered from a new mammalyielding 

Deccan intertrappean site near Kisalpuri 

village, Dindori District, Madhya 

Pradesh (state), India, are described here under 

a new species Deccanolestes narmadensis 

sp. nov. The new fossil material indicates 

close phylogenetic relationship between Deccanolestes 

from India and Afrodon 

(Adapisoriculidae) from the Late Palaeocene 

of Africa and Europe. In view of older age and 

more primitive state of Deccanolestes teeth, it 

is inferred that Deccanolestes represents an 

ancestral morphotype from which the African/European 

adapisoriculid Afrodon may 

have been derived. This is the first compelling 

terrestrial fossil evidence for an early dispersal 

between India and Africa. Such a dispersal 

possibly involved an East African contact with 

India at the KT transition.

Geology, 2010, 38(2): 111-114 

The Eocene-Oligocene boundary (EOB) 

marks a period of dramatic global climatic 

change correlated with pronounced mammalian 

faunal change. The timing of these events 

is well constrained in North America and 

Europe, but the Asian record has yet to produce 

a synthetic section linking environmental 

change, mammalian fossils, and precise geochronological 

dates. Here we present the first 

magnetostratigraphic section for the Hsanda 

Gol Formation, Mongolia, which yields significant 

Oligocene fossils and also marks a 

pattern of aridification that is tightly correlated 

to the EOB (33.9 Ma), supporting a 

broader pattern of aridification in the central 

Asian plateau across the EOB. Oligocene faunas 

of Asia can now be confidently correlated 

to those of North America, Europe, and Africa. 

These results suggest that mammalian faunal 

turnover within Asia occurred slightly later 

than similar events within Europe, and question 

the influence of Asian immigrants on the 

Grande Coupure faunal turnover.

The similarity in size and morphology 

of the cheek teeth of these two species is so 

great that only the M1 and M2 can be recognised 

with certainty. Eumyarion bifidus seems 

to be a descendant of E. orhani from the Early

schizotheriine and is important for comparative 

studies. It differs to some degree from 

earlier Miocene (MN2-MN4) European material 

attributed to Moropus sp. or Metaschizotherium 

wetzleri and to a larger degree 

from the Late Miocene species Ancylotherium 

pentelicum. 

At Sandelzhausen, M. bavaricum apparently 

lived in a moistforested environment, where it 

probably fed on leaves, fruit, and seeds.

Zeitschrift, 2009, 83(1): 175-181 

In this study, the mesowear method is applied 

to 11 upper premolars and molars of M. 

bavaricum from the Upper Freshwater Molasse 

locality of Sandelzhausen (MN 5). With 

this method the amount of abrasive and attritive 

dental wear is investigated and thus it 

provides a time-averaged signature of food 

abrasiveness of ungulates. Principal components 

analysis is performed on mesowear variables 

of M. bavaricum.This species is found to 

classify closest to extant mixed feeding ruminants. 

This indicates that the diet of M. bavaricum 

essentially included nonabrasive browse 

but also a certain amount of aabrasive plant 

material.

Moschus grandaevus Schlosser, the most 

ancient musk deer, is recorded from two Late 

Miocene localities in the south of Eastern Siberia, 

Olkhon Island (Lake Baikal) and Taralyk-Cher 

near Kyzyl (Tuva). The morphological 

study of the species elucidates the origin, 

evolution, and relationships of the genus Moschus 

and the entire family Moschidae. A new 

classification of the Moschidae is proposed.

介绍 : 来自纽约州的美洲乳齿象是最具权 

威的例证 = Introduction: New York State as 

a locus classicus for the American mastodon. 

( 英文 ). Allmon Warren D; Nester Peter L; 

Chiment John J. Palaeontographica Americana, 

2008, (61): 5-12 

The first mastodon bones noted by Europeans 

were collected in New York in 1705, and 

the first relatively complete skeletons were 

excavated in the Hudson River Valley in the 

1790s. At least 10% of all known mastodons 

in the U. S. have come from New York. The 

137

state has thus played a central role in the long 

evolution of knowledge about Mammut 

americanum (Kerr, 1792), contributing to the 

unique importance of this extinct species in 

human understanding of past life. Between 

1999 and 2001, three late Pleistocene mastodon 

sites in New York state were excavated 

by the Paleontological Research Institution 

and Cornell University. Radiocarbon ages for 

these finds range between 10,780 and 11,560 

C-14 yr BP. Taken together, they add significantly 

to our knowledge of mastodon paleoenvironments, 

taphonomy, and paleobiology, 

as well as public educational outreach 

and Museum exhibition.

美国纽约州三个更新世化石点中乳齿象和 

猛犸象的舌骨成分 = Hyoid elements from 

mammut and mammuthus from three Pleistocene 

sites, New York, U. S. A.. ( 英文 ). Shoshani 

Jeheskel; Marchant Gary H. Palaeontographica 

Americana, 2008, (61): 85-110 

The hyoid apparatus of proboscideans consists 

of five bones: a pair of stylohyoidea, a 

pair of thyrohyoidea, and an unpaired basihyoideum. 

They are found in the gular (throat) 

region and connected to the base of the tongue 

below and to the cranium above. The hyoid 

apparatus also supports the end piece of the 

trachea and the larynx. Hyoid bones are often 

overlooked in dissections of elephants, and 

remains of preserved skeletal material of extinct 

taxa rarely include this apparatus. Material 

collected from the Hyde Park, Gilbert, and 

North Java Pleistocene sites in New York includes 

a complete hyoid apparatus (a rare find) 

and a pair of stylohyoidea of the American 

mastodon [Mammut americanum (Kerr, 1792)] 

Plus one left stylohyoideum and two thyrohyoidea 

of a mammoth [possibly Mammuthus 

columbi (Falconer, 1857)]. Easily observed 

differences between the hyoid apparati of 

Mammut and Mammuthus include the presence 

of the posterior ramus in the stylohyoids 

of Mammuthus and more robust bones in 

Mammut. The posterior ramus serves for the 

attachment of the digastric muscle (based on 

musculature of living elephants). M. americanum 

might have had a slightly longer 

tongue than that of Mammuthus - 84-98 cm vs. 

70-75 cm. Using their flexible trunks and 

tongues, these extinct proboscideans could 

browse on leaves up to seven meters above 

ground level. In living elephants the hyoid 

apparatus supports a pouch used as a resonating 

chamber, and also as an area to store water 

for drinking or dousing in time of stress. Herd 

members of both Mammut and Mammuthus 

could communicate with others through infrasonic 

calls, over a distance of a few kilometers 

(production of infrasonic calls involves the 

large larynx and its extrinsic muscles that are 

attached to the hyoid apparatus). It is hypothesized 

that the hyoid apparati of extinct American 

mastodons and mammoths functioned 

similarly to those of extant elephants. Based 

on hyoid characters, it is suggested that 

Mammut americanum Occupies a more basal 

(primitive) position on a cladogram than 

Mammuthus columbi.

microwear pattern, and palaeobiology of the 

extinct Balearic Dormouse Hypnomys morpheus. 

( 英文 ). Hautier L; Bover P; Alcover J 

A; Michaux J. Acta palaeontologica Polonica, 

2009, 54(2): 181-194 

Hypnomys morpheus is a giant endemic 

dormouse from the Pleistocene deposits of 

Mallorca and Menorca (Balearic Islands,Spain). 

The present paper aims to interpret 

the morphological divergence between 

the mandibles of Hypnomys and of its extant 

relative Eliomys, the outline of the mandible 

being used as a marker of the morphological 

divergence. By comparison with the mandible 

of Eliomys, the more massive mandible of 

Hypnomys has recorded an ecological shift of 

the insular lineage towards a more abrasive 

diet, including hard vegetable matter, and a 

different niche. A microwear analysis of the 

teeth of Hypnomys was simultaneously performed 

as it can shed light on the diet, and is 

independent from the comparison of the mandibles. 

Hyupnomys possibly ate harder food 

items than Eliomys, and likely occupied most 

of the island environments. Hypnomys appears 

to have differentiated from its ancestral type 

toward a more generalized morphology because 

of the lack of competitors.

Here we describe now mammalian remains 

collected in outcrops of the La Colonia Formation 

exposed in Chubut Province, Argentina, 

warranting the recognition of a new mesungulatid: 

Coloniatherium cilinskii gen. et sp. 

nov. This species si recognized by the dentition 

and lower jaw, and we assign five isolated 

petrosal bones, focusing our study primarity 

on the analysis of the ear regions. The morphology 

of the petrosals suggests a phylogenetic 

position similar to Vincelestes, but sharing 

some derived features, possibly convergent, 

with therians.

Plesiosoricids from early Oligocene fissure 

fillings in South Germany, with remarks on 

plesiosoricid phylogeny. ( 英文 ). Ziegler R. 


365-371 

The plesiosoricis from two fissure fillings 

are described. All belong to Butselia biveri. 

Mohren 12 correlates with the early Oligocene 

standard level Soumailles, corresponding to 

the Paleogene mammal unit MP 21, and 

Mohren 13 with the standard level Villebramar, 

which corresponds to MP 22. These 

occurrences represent the first record of the 

genus Butselia in Germany. A review of the 

known plesiosoricid species and a cladistic 

analysis of Butselia and Plesiosorex are presented. 

It shows the basal position of Butselia 

with respect to plesiosorex, and the basal position 

position of Plesiosorex soricinoides with 

respect to the other Plesiosorex species.

This study resulted in the recovery of a 

number of new specimens representing an assemblage 

of at least six taxa. Among these are 

a well-preserved plagiaulacoid multituberculate 

left m1 and a similarly preserved left 13. 

The former permits diagnosis of a new species

The distant evolutionary ancestry of mammals 

is documented by a rich therapsid fossil 

record. While sphenacodontid long standing 

morphological and temporal gap in their fossil 

record. We describe a new large predatory 

synapsid, Raranimus dashanhankouensis gen. 

et sp. nov., from the Middle Permian of 

Dashankou in China which has a uniquecombination 

of therapsid and sphenacodontid features. 

This specimen is of great significance as 

it is a basal therapsid which is the sister taxon 

to all other therapsids. The fact that it was 

found in association with Early Permian 

tetrapods suggests that it is the oldest therapsid 

and provides the first evidence of therapsid-bearing 

rocks which cover Olson's Gap. It 

further supports that therapsids may hav had a 

Laurasian rather than Gondwanan origin.

描述了 1996~2007 年间在内蒙古阿巴嘎 

旗晚中新世宝格达乌拉组采集的副竹鼠化 

石。材料包括下颌骨 1 件、牙齿 14 枚和肢 

骨 4 件 , 分别采自该组的 2 个地点。根据 

标本较大的尺寸、形态特征 , 以及颊齿的 

釉质曲线高度 , 宝格达乌拉材料被归入三 

趾马层副竹鼠 Pararhizomys hipparionum 

Teilhard de Chardin & Young , 1931 。 

Pararhizomys 是一类具高冠、脊形和冠面 

构造简单颊齿的啮齿动物。该属目前发现 

的化石地点少 , 材料也不多 , 主要集中于 

中国北方和蒙古高原周缘 , 其地史分布为 

晚中新世早期至上新世中期。与鼢鼠类 

(siphneids) 和鼠平类 (arvicolids) 一样 , 

Pararhizomys 属的颊齿有由低冠到高冠发 

展的趋势 , 具体表现为牙齿侧面釉质曲线 

(dentine tract) 由平直、远离内外两侧谷 

底到起伏、接近甚至超过内外两侧谷底。 

为方便比较 , 本文为釉质曲线的高度设立 

“H” 指数 , 即从每侧最深谷的谷底和釉质曲 

线的最高处取平行于冠面的平行线 , 此两 

平行线之间的垂直距离为 “H”。H 值越大 , 

表明齿冠越低 , 反之则齿冠越高。尽管目 

前发现的副竹鼠标本不多 , 但似乎可以看 

到从早期到晚期 , 其颊齿的个体有从小变 

大 , 釉质曲线高度 H 值逐渐减小 , 即齿冠 

逐渐增高的趋势。由于 Pararhizomys 的牙 

齿形态多少与竹鼠类的低冠竹鼠 

Brachyrhizomys 和竹鼠属 Rhizomys 及拟速 

掘鼠属 Tachyoryctoides 有相似之处 , 故 

常被与 Brachyrhizomys 和 Rhizomys 一起 

归入竹鼠科 (Rhizomyidae), 但该属的牙 

齿不具中脊和下中脊 , 褶沟少 , 一般为 2-3 

个 , 与上述三属有明显的不同。本文对下 

门齿所作的切片观察也表明 , 

Pararbizomys 的釉质层结构与 

Brachyrhizomys , Rhizomys 和 

Tachyoryctoides 者相差甚远 , 其内层 

(PI) 明显增厚 , 釉柱和釉柱间质 (IPM) 

的排列方式存在明显差别 .. 颊齿的冠 

高、冠面形态 , 以及下门齿的釉质层结 

构 , 似乎都表明了 Pararhizomys 属不大可 

能归人竹鼠科或速掘鼠科 

(Tachyorictoididae)。而下门齿釉质层切 

片显示了 Brachyrhizomys 与 Rhizomys 有 

着高度相似的釉质结构 , 进一步证明了两 

者有较接近的亲缘关系。地理分布上 , 

Pararhizomys 与 Tachyoryctoides 属只发 

现于古北区 , 伴生的哺乳动物显示了其可 

能适应偏冷、干旱的草原环境 , 而 

Brachyrhizomys 和 Rhizomys 主要局限于东 

洋区 , 共生的哺乳动物多能适应温暖、湿 

润的树林环境。

肯尼亚西北部晚渐新世哺乳动物群 = A 

Mammalian Fauna from the Late Oligocene of 

Northwestern Kenya. ( 英文 ). Rasmussen D T; 

Gutierrez M. Palaeontographica Abt.A, 2009, 

288(1-3): 1-52 

Mammalian fossils have been collected 

over several decades by teams associated with 

the Kenya National Museums from two sites 

in northwestern Kenya, Losodok and Benson's 

Site. Geological work in the area has determined 

that Losodok is Late Oligocene in age 

(BOSCHETTO et al. 1992); only one mammal 

from Losodok has been previously discussed 

in light of the age determinations, a catarrhine 

primate (LEAKEY et al. 1995). In this paper, 

we describe the rest of the mammals known 

from these sites, which proves to be a fauna 

consisting of at least 21 species in eight orders. 

Recent field work during the summer of 2007 

yielded more mammals from both of these 

sites; additional mammal localities were found 

near Benson's Site, prompting us to designate 

the new region Nakwai. Several mammalian 

species are shared between the Losodok sample 

and that from Nakwai, indicating that they 

are about the same age. The mammalian faunas 

are distinctly Oligocene in their taxonomic 

composition, consisting of African groups 

previously known from the Early Tertiary 

such as hyracoids, arsinoitheres, primitive 

proboscideans, thryonomyoid rodents, 

proviverrine and pterodontine creodonts, catarrhine 

primates, and anthracotheres. Immigrant 

mammals characteristic of the African 

Early Miocene are conspicuously absent except 

for a small true carnivore of the genus 

Mioprionodon, the earliest fossil record of 

Carnivora in Africa. We formally describe two 

new genera (Losodokodon,a proboscidean, 

and Mlanyama, a creodont), and 8 new species 

(of the genera Brachyhyrax, Tbyrobyrax, 

Meroebyrax, Diamantomys, Mioprionodon, 

and the two new genera). Several other species 

are informally described and discussed 

but not named in this paper, and we also make 

new comparisons regarding Kamoyapitbecus, 

the only species from Losodok previously 

named (LEAKEY et al. 1995). The new fauna 

is transitional between earlier Oligocene 

mammal faunas of Africa (known from Ethiopia, 

Egypt, and several other countries) and 

the Early Miocene faunas of East Africa. Several 

taxa are morphological intermediates, and 

potential phylogentic links, between early Tertiary 

forms and Miocene taxa; these include 

the proboscidean Losodokodon and the primate 

Kamoyapitbecus. Others represent the 

earliest record for African groups otherwise 

known in the Miocene (Brachyhyrax, 

Afrobyrax, Meroebyrax, Prodeinotberium, 

Diamantomys). Still others represent the latest 

occurrence of taxa previously known from the 

Early Tertiary (pachyhyracine hyracoids, Tbyrobyrax, 

Arsinoitberium). All taxa in the fauna 

represent forms that could have evolved in situ 

in Africa except for the new species of Mioprionodon, 

which is an immigrant from the 

north. The new discoveries highlight the fact 

that the faunal transition between archaic endemic 

mammals of the Early Tertiary and the 

more modern Neogene faunas occurred during 

143

a very short time interval at or near the Oligocene-Miocene 

boundary. We discuss the nature 

and importance of this transition, which 

we designate the African Mid-Tertiary Event 

(AMTE).

法国南部晚始新世新种 Carcinella sigei 的 

头骨形态 = Cranial morphology of a new 

apatemyid,Carcinella sigei n.gen.n.sp. (Mammalia, 

Apatotheria) from the late Eocene of 

southern France. ( 英文 ). Von Koenigswald W; 

Ruf I; Gingerich P D. Palaeontographica 

Abt.A, 2009, 288(1-3): 53-91 

An uncompressed cranium of a member of 

the basal order Apatotheria is described as 

Carcinella sigei n. gen. n. sp. It was found in 

the "Phosphorites du Quercy" and is probably 

late Eocene in age. The small or missing hypocone 

on the upper molars indicates a lineage 

independent from Heterobyus, the only genus 

so far known from the middle and upper Eocene 

of Europe. Micro-CT scans provide detailed 

insight into the nasal cavity and ear region. 

The turbinals are similar to those of 

other macrosmatic small mammals. The cochlea 

of the inner ear shows ca. 2 turns and is 

similar to those of many other small mammals. 

The posterolateral corner of the cranium 

formed by the mastoid exposure of the petrosaly 

is pronounced. The relative size of the 

brain of Carcinella sigei, with an encephalization 

residual, ER, of about 0, was equivalent 

to that expected for an average living terrestrial 

mammals and thus, larger than that of 

most contemporary mammals. Most characteristics 

of the cranium of Carcinella sigei n. gen. 

n. sp. are generalized for mammals and presumably 

primitive. The enlarged anterior incisors 

are certainly derived characteristics that, 

together with elongated fingers (known from 

skeletal finds), are related to a specific life 

style: arboreal predators on wood-boring insect 

larvae. The relatively few derived characteristics 

shared with other mammals are little 

help in identifying the sister group of Apatemyidae 

or in clarifying relationships to other 

basal placental mammals.

and the middle Eocene Harudi Formation of 

Kutch has long been known to be a major

carbonates from the Harudi Formation 

was conducted to obtain a numerical age of 

the whale-bearing strata. Although the measured 

Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios (0.707742 to 0.707764) 

correspond to two distinct age clusters of 46- 

47.5 Ma or 41-42.5 Ma, we prefer the latter, 

late Lutetian, age cluster.

The Magdalenian mandible of the child's skull 

Rochereil III. ( 法文 ). Mafart B. Comptes Rendus

The fragmented pathological skull of a 

young child was discovered in a Magdalenian 

level in the Rochereil cave, Dordogne, France, 

in 1939. The bony fragments were extracted 

along with the surrounding soil, and completely 

cleaned in a laboratory. The mandible 

has been wrongly reconstructed. Among the 

nine teeth that are present on the mandible, 

three deciduous molars are human teeth at 

their correct places. Only one tooth in the incisor–canine 

block (the right deciduous lateral 

incisor) is a human tooth, but it is incorrectly 

positioned on the left side. The other incisors 

and canines implanted in this child's mandible 

originated from one or several young adult 

reindeer. These small animal teeth were 

probably mistaken for human pathological 

teeth because the child's skull and mandible 

showed several pathological lesions. The possibility 

of faulty reconstitution must be systematically 

considered when dealing with for 

all human fossils which have been discovered 

in the past.

New sites from the Lower Paleolithic of the 

Republic of Djibouti: Initial results from a 

recent survey of the Gobaad Basin, Central 

Afar. ( 法文 ). Harmand S; DeGusta D; Slimak 

L; Lewis J; Melillo S; Dohmen I; Omar M. 


Previous research in the Republic of Djibouti 

resulted in two notable Paleolithic findings: 

the Oldowan elephant butchery site of 

Barogali, excavated by J. Chavaillon and A. 

Berthelet, and a Homo erectus/sapiens maxilla 

described by L. de Bonis et al. These discoveries 

were made in the 1980s, and no paleoanthropological 

surveys have been conducted in 

Djibouti in the following decades. In 2007, the 

Mission archéologique et paléontologique 

Afar Djibouti (MAPAD) carried out a new 

survey of the Gobaad Basin and discovered 

several new archaeological and paleontological 

sites attributed to the Lower Paleolithic. 

Three sites in particular contain rich concentrations 

of lithic artifacts on the surface that, 

based on field examination, can be attributed 

to the Oldowan. Of these, the site of Chekheyti 

Issie 3 (CKI-3) is the largest, comprising 

a surface of well over 100 m 2 of abundant Oldowan 

lithics in spatial association with fossil 

hippopotamus remains. The presence of lithic 

refits, identified in an ad hoc fashion in the 

field, suggests that the site was minimally disturbed. 

Further excavation and analysis of 

CKI-3 should provide insight into carcass acquisition 

and processing by early hominids. 

More generally, the newly discovered sites in 

the Gobaad Basin will allow for the testing of 

a range of hypotheses regarding both local and 

regional variation in hominid technology, behavior, 

and subsistence strategies in the Lower 

Pleistocene.

The site of Les Auzières 2 (Méthamis, Vaucluse) 

was excavated from 2001 to 2005. It 

yielded an original and diverse fauna, unique 

in southeastern France (Provence). The spectrum 

of large mammals comprises 14 species 

including hyena, horse, ibex, woolly rhinoceros, 

giant deer and mammoth. Lithic artifacts 

are rare but testify to the presence of a Mousterian 

industry. All of these remains derive 

from layers that have been dated to 60 ± 10 ka 

by ESR/U-series method. Les Auzières 2 is of 

special importance for examining the issue of 

human/carnivore interaction in the Pleistocene 

since it has yielded a large assemblage of carnivore 

remains, and probably represents a 

hyena den. The diverse fauna offers a more 

comprehensive picture of Upper Pleistocene 

biodiversity in southeastern France than that 

usually provided by sites with a stronger anthropogenic 

signal.

瑞典 Gotene 地区波罗的海冰湖水系沉积物 

的新露头 = New exposures of Baltic Ice Lake 

drainage sediments, Gotene, Sweden. ( 英文 ). 

Johnson M D; Stahl Y; Larsson O; Seger S. 

GFF, 2010, 132(1): 1-12 

New exposures created during the construction 

of highway E20 near Gotene, Sweden, 

reveal poorly sorted gravelly sand overlain 

and underlain by varved clay. The stratigraphy 

at Pellagarden consists of, from the bottom up, 

striated gneiss, till, varved marine clay, the 

gravelly sand unit, and varved marine clay. 

The varves represent deglacial marine sediment 

deposited in 40-50 m deep water. The 

gravelly sand unit contains graded bedding, 

indistinct horizontal bedding, mud clasts and 

interstitial mud. It is poorly sorted and poorly 

organised. The unit has a pebble fabric indicating 

flow to the northwest. These characteristics 

and the great water depth suggest that 

the gravelly sand was deposited from a hyperconcentrated 

traction current or from concentrated 

to hyperconcentrated density flows. We 

interpret the gravelly sand bed to be sediment 

deposited during the Baltic Ice Lake drainage 

at around 10,000 14C years BP. The unit 

likely represents rapidly deposited sediment at 

the very start of the drainage and does not indicate 

the duration of the drainage event. The 

bed was deposited during a single drainage 

event rather than as a series of events over a 

few weeks or months. Based on the number of 

varves and regional ice retreat rates, the icemargin 

was 0.2 to 5km north of Gotene at the 

time of the drainage. These sites represent the 

first reported occurrences of the drainage 

sediment in a stratigraphic sequence since the 

work of Simon Johansson (1926, 1937, and 

1941).

岩石圈和生物圈的早期演化 = On the early 

stages of the evolution of the geosphere and 

biosphere. ( 英文 ). Dobretsov N L; Kolchanov 

N A; uslov V V. Paleontological Journal, 

2006, 40(4): S407-S424 7 图版 . 

The conditions necessary for the existence 

of nucleic-protein life are as follows: the presence 

of liquid water, an atmosphere, and a 

magnetic field (all of which protect from meteorites, 

abrupt changes in temperature, and a 

flow of charged particles from space) and the 

availability of nutrients (macro-and microelements 

in the form of dissolved compounds). In 

the evolution of the geosphere, complex interference 

of irreversible processes (general cooling, 

gravitational differentiation of the Earth’s 

interior, dissipation of hydrogen, etc.) with 

cyclic processes of varying natures and periodicities 

(from the endogenic cycles “from 

Pangea to Pangea” to Milankovitch cycles), 

these conditions have repeatedly changed; 

hence, in the coevolution of the geosphere and 

biosphere, the vector of irreversible evolution 

was determined by the geosphere. Only with 

the appearance of the ocean as a global system 

of homeostasis, which provided the maintenance 

and leveling of nutrient concentrations 

in the hydrosphere, and the conveyor of nutrients 

from the mantle, “the film of life” could 

begin its expansion from the source of the nutrients. 

Life itself is a system of homeostasis, 

but not due to the global size and a vast buffer 

capacity, but because of the high rate of reactions 

and presence of a program (genome) that 

allowed its development (ontogeny) independent 

from the outside environment. The 

early stages of the origin and evolution of the 

biosphere (from the RNA-world to the development 

of the prokaryotic ecosystems) were 

characterized by the domination of chemotrophic 

ecosystems. The geographical ranges of 

these ecosystems were directly or indirectly 

(through the atmosphere and hydrosphere) tied 

to the sources of nutrients in the geosphere, 

which were in turn connected to various 

sources of volcanic and geotectonic activity 

(geothermal waters, “black smokers” along 

the rift zones, etc.). This gave the biosphere 

consisting of chemotrophic ecosystems a mosaic 

appearance composed of separate local 

oases of life. The decrease of methane and 

accumulation of O 2 in the atmosphere in the 

geological evolution of the Earth caused the 

extinction of chemotrophic ecosystems and 

directed evolution of the biosphere toward 

autotrophy. Autotrophic photosynthesis gave 

the biosphere an energy source that was not 

connected to the geosphere, and for the first 

time allowed its liberation from the geosphere 

by developing its own vector of evolution. 

This vector resulted in the biosphere forming a 

continuous film of life on the planet by capturing 

the continents and occupying pelagic and 

abyssal zones, and the appearance of eukaryotes. 

The geosphere formed biogeochemical 

cycles in parallel to the geochemical ones, and 

comparable in the annual balances of participating 

matter.

微生物生物圈 = Microbial biopshere. ( 英文 ). 

Zavarzin G A. Paleontological Journal, 2006, 

40(4): S425-S433 

Evolution of the prokaryotic biosphere is 

regarded from the system point of view. It 

starts with the appearance of the first organisms, 

the ∼3.5 Ga date forming the boundary 

between the observed and imagined biosphere. 

The prokaryotic community dominated from 

the Archean to the Mesoproterozoic. Prokaryotes 

make a sustainable community due to 

the cooperative action of specialized forms. 

The main route for establishing a community 

is made by trophic links. The structure of the 

trophic links in the prokaryotic community 

making a trophic network is an invariant, with 

secondary adaptive deviations. Material balance 

is the ultimate requirement for a long 

living self-supporting system. The system of 

biogeospheric cycles is dictated by the constancy 

of biomass composition establishing a 

quantitative ratio between C org :N org :P org . Biospheric 

processes are driven by the C org -cycle. 

Carbon assimilation is limited by the size of 

the illuminated moist surface populated by 

producers, meaning that C org -production remains 

within an order of magnitude of 10 2 

Gt/yr. Evolution of primary producers forms a 

basis for the evolution of the biosphericgeospheric 

system, and cyanobacteria integrated 

as chloroplasts remain its driving force. 

Decomposition of organic compounds is performed 

by organotrophic destructors, anacrobic 

being less effective. Destructors determine 

the residual C org accumulation. Recalcitrant 

C org remaining in the sedimentary record is 

equilibrated by O 2 and other oxidized compounds 

as Fe-oxides or sulfates. Geospheric 

and biotic interactions include both direct and 

biotically mediated processes; the most important 

is the weathering-sedimentation pathway. 

Prokaryotic community makes a sustainable 

frame into which all other more complex 

forms of life fit. That makes the prokaryotic 

biosphere a permanent essence of the whole 

system. New participants might come in and 

substitute functional components only when 

they fit to the existing system. The evolution 

of a large system is additive rather than substitutive. 

The message of this is; “we all originated 

from the cyanobacterial community.”

of the Pprecambrian non-stromatolitic 

carbonate succession making up the third 

member of Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang 

Formation in Yanshan area of north China. 

( 英文 ). Mei M X. Journal of China university 

of geosciences, 2007, 18(3): 191-209 

A particular non-stromatolitic carbonate 

succession making up the third member of the 

Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation 

might demonstrate that a stromatolite decline 

of the Mesoproterozoic occurring at ca. 1 450 

Ma besides other three events of the Proterozoic, 

respectively, occurred at ca. 2 000 Ma, 

ca. 1 000 Ma, and ca. 675 Ma. The forming 

duration of this non-stromatolitic carbonate 

succession can be generally correlative to that 

of a similar depositional succession in North 

America, i.e. a non-stromatolitic carbonate 

succession made up by the Helena Formation 

of the Belt Supergroup, which suggests that 

the stromatolite decline occurring at ca. 1450 

Ma may be a global event. This information 

endows the non-stromatolitic carbonate succession 

making up the third member of the 

Gaoyuzhuang Formation in the Yanshan area 

with important significance for the further understanding 

of Precambrian sedimentology. 

The Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation 

in Yanshan area is a set of more than 

1000 m thick carbonate strata that can be divided 

into four members (or subformations). 

The first member (or the Guandi subformation) 

is marked by a set of stromatolitic dolomites 

overlying a set of transgressive sandstones; 

the second member (or the Sangshu'an subformation) 

is a set of manganese dolomites 

with a few stromatolites; the third member (or 

the Zhangjiayu subformation) is chiefly made 

up of leiolite and laminite limestones and is 

characterized by the development of molartooth 

structures in leiolite limestone; the 

fourth member (or the Huanxiusi subformation) 

is composed of a set of dolomites of 

stromatolitic reefs or lithoherms. Sequencestratigraphic 

divisions at two sections, i.e. the 

147

Jixian Section in Tianjin and the Qiangou Section 

of Yanqing County in Beijing, demonstrate 

that a particularly non-stromatolitic succession 

making up the third member of the 

Mesoproterozoic Gaoyuzhuang Formation is 

developed in the Yanshan area of North China, 

in which lots of grotesque matground structures 

(wrinkle structures and palimpsest ripples) 

are developed in beds of leiolite limestone 

at the Qiangou Section and lots,of molar-tooth 

structures are developed in beds of 

leiolite limestone at the Jixian Section. The 

time scale of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation is 

deduced as 200 Ma (from 1600 Ma to 1400 

Ma). The duration of an obvious hiatus between 

the Gaoyuzhuang Formation and the 

underlying Dahongyu Formation is deduced as 

50 Ma to 100 Ma, thus the forming duration of 

the Gaoyuzhuang Formation is thought as 100 

Ma (1 500 Ma to 1 400 Ma). Furthermore, the 

age of the subface of the third member of the 

Gaoyuzhuang Formation that is just in the mid 

position of the Gaoyuzhuang Formation can 

be deduced as about 1450 Ma, which is the 

basis to infer a stromatolite decline of the 

Mesoproterozoic occurring at ca. 1 450 Ma. 

Importantly, several features of both the molar-tooth 

structure and the stromatolite, such 

as the particular forming environment, the important 

facies-indicative meaning, and the episodic 

distribution in the earth history, might 

express the evolutionary periodicity of the 

surface environment of the earth and can provide 

meaningful clues for the understanding of 

the Precambrian world, although their origin 

and forming mechanism is highly contentious. 

Therefore, like other three stromatolitic declines, 

respectively, occurring at ca. 675 Ma, 

ca. 1 000 Ma, and ca. 2 000 Ma, the identification 

of the stromatolite decline occurring at ca. 

1450 Ma during the Golden Age of stromatolites 

(2 800 Ma to 1000 Ma) has important 

meaning for the further understading of the 

evolving carbonate world of the Precambrian.

现代生物地层中前寒武纪微体化石的重要

for modern biostratigraphy. ( 英文 ). 

Sergeev V N. Paleontological Journal, 2006, 


A new model of the distribution of Proterozoic 

microorganisms is developed, based on 

studies of Riphean and Vendian silicified and 

organic-walled microfossils from the reference 

sections of northern Eurasia, and on their 

comparison with other known microfossil assemblages. 

Within the interval from 2.0 to 

0.535 Ga, seven successive informal global 

microphytological units (referred to as proterohorizons) 

are determined: (1) Labradorian 

proterohorizon occupies the upper part of the 

Lower Proterozoic (Paleoproterozoic), 2.0– 

1.65 Ga; (2) Anabarian proterohorizon, Lower 

Riphean-lower Middle Riphean (lower and 

middle Mesoproterozoic), 1.65–1.2 Ga; (3) 

Turukhanian proterohorizon, upper Middle 

Riphean (upper Mesoproterozoic), 1.2–1.03 

Ga; (4) Uchuromayan proterohorizon, lower 

Upper Riphean (lower Neoproterozoic), 1.03– 

0.85 Ga; (5) Yuzhnouralian proterohorizon, 

upper Upper Riphean (upper Neoproterozoic 

without Ediacaran); (6) Amadeusian proterohorizon, 

Lower Vendian (Ediacaran), 0.6–0.55

Journal, 2007, 129(3): 227-234 

Ion-microprobe U-Pb geochronological data 

of zircon grains from three Mesoproterozoic 

deformed granite plutons in the Western and 

Median Segments of the Sveconorwegian 

Province, SW Sweden give intrusion ages of 

1336 +/- 10 Ma for the Askim Granite, 1311 

+/- 8 Ma for the Karra Granite and >= 1304 

+/- 6 Ma for the Gota Granite. In addition, 

oscillatory zoned zircon grains in a pegmatite 

dyke in the Karra Granite were dated at 1325 

+/- 8 Ma, i.e. identical within analytical uncertainty 

with the age of the host granite. The 

zircon grains from the pegmatite are interpreted 

as xenocrysts from the Karra Granite. 

The plutons are part of a 1.34-1.30 Ga bimodal 

magmatic suite which we call the 

Kungsbacka Bimodal Suite, forming a N-S 

trending linear belt from Kungsbacka in the 

south to Trollhattan in the north. Other possible 

members are the 1.32 Ga Ursand Granite, 

the 1.33 Ga Hastefjorden Granite, the 1.31 Ga 

Veddige Augen gneiss, the 1.33 Ga Stravalla 

Augen gneiss and the 1.33 Ga Chalmers Mafic 

Intrusion. The suite probably formed in a continental 

rift environment. This study demonstrates 

that the Kungsbacka Bimodal Suite, 

which is restricted to the Western and Median 

Segments, is younger than the 1.38 Ga Tjarnesjo 

and Torpa Granites in the Eastern Segment 

of the Sveconorwegian Province. This 

148

difference indicates that the Mylonite Zone 

may be interpreted as a first order Sveconorwegian 

tectonic boundary, separating crustal 

segments with distinct pre-Sveconorwegian 

histories. Metamorphic overgrowths on zircons 

from the Karra pegmatite are dated at 

1043 +/- 11 Ma and confirm the age of Sveconorwegian 

metamorphism at 1.04 Ga in the 

Western Segment. This study also documents 

the occurrence of post-1.3 Ga penetrative deformation 

and high-grade metamorphism including 

partial melting in the Western and 

Median Segments. It also proves that in some 

areas it is impossible to distinguish post- 

Gothian from older units, based only on their 

degree of deformation.

ages of detrital zircon from the Palaeoproterozoic 

Vastervik Basin, SE Sweden: 

Implications for provenance and timing of 

deposition. ( 英文 ). Sultan L; Claesson S; 

Plink-Bjorklund P. GFF, 2005, 127(1): 17-24 

Ages of detrital zircons, derived from Palaeoproterozoic 

metasedimentary rocks from 

Finland and Sweden are poorly represented in 

the presently exposed crust in the Baltic 

Shield. This study reports U-Pb ages of detrital 

zircons from the Svecofennian Vastervik 

Basin. 41 spots from 31 zircon crystals were 

dated using U-Pb geochronology at the 

NORDSIM ion microprobe in Stockholm. 

Most analyses are concordant and the zircon 

grains commonly display well-developed 

magmatic oscillatory zoning. The ages documented 

are: &SIM; 3.64 Ga, 3.03-2.95 Ga, 

2.72-2.69 Ga, 2.12-1.87 Ga and 1.84 Ga. 75% 

of the grains are Palaeoproterozoic and 25% 

are Archaean. Ages gained from Proterozoic 

metasediments in Sweden, Finland, Svalbard, 

Greenland and Great Britain also report a 

large proportion of &SIM; 2.1-1.9 Ga and a 

smaller proportion of Archaean zircons with 

ages around 2.7 and 3 Ga. These age groups 

probably represent major crust forming events. 

The here presented results provide an estimate 

of the time of deposition in the Vastervik Basin 

for the time interval of 1882-1850 Ma, 

constrained by two concordant zircon analyses 

of 1872 &PLUSMN; 24 and 1870 &PLUSMN; 

12 Ma, and the newly presented 1859 

&PLUSMN; 9 Ma age for the Loftahammar 

granite that intrudes the metasedimentary succession 

in the north. The young detrital zircon 

age of 1837 &PLUSMN; 22 Ma might suggest 

that parts of the basin may be younger. As 

input of detrital grains may occur from several 

sources simultaneously (e.g. by rivers and by 

tidal currents from a marine source), the detrital 

grains were sampled from different depositional 

environments. Main fluvial sediment 

transport in the Vastervik Basin was from present 

north whereas the tidal sediment transport 

was from the present south. The age groups 

documented in the Vastervik Basin are poorly 

represented in the presently exposed crust in 

the Baltic Shield, but are represented in Sarmatia.

Cambrian body fossil record in Spain (exclusive 

of trilobites and archaeocyaths) and their 

stratigraphic significance. ( 英文 ). Fernandez- 

Remolar D C. GFF, 2001, 123(2): 73-80 

The chronostratigraphical aspects of four 

Iberian non-trilobite and non-archaeocyathan 

associations and the record of two separate 

fossil occurrences are discussed. These fossils 

are Cloudina and Platysolenites. The associations 

have been defined as the Anabarella- 

Aldanella, Arthropoda -Tannuolina- 

Latouchella, Alanis Fauna, and Hadimopanella-Archiasterella 

assemblages, They comprise 

a time span from the late Vendian to the 

early Middle Cambrian. The existence of upper 

Vendian associations in the Rio Huso and 

Ibor groups outcropping through Central 

Iberia is indicated by the presence of Cloudina. 

Its biostratigraphic overlapping with vendotaenids 

and Sabellidites may correlate it with 

the Sabellidites-Vendotaenia assemblage. In 

the upper member of the Rio Huso group 

(Valdelacasa Anticline) and Upper Alcudian 

strata (Alcudia Valley) the Anabarella- 

Aldanella association has been found. It may 

belong to the middle-upper Tommotian in the 

Siberian Platform and Mongolia and also with 

the upper Alcudian in Iberia. In the Sierra de 

Cordoba area, Southern Spain, an Arthropoda- 

Tannuolina-Latouchella association has been 

found in the Pedroche Formation, which has 

been correlated with the late Tommotian to 

early Atdabanian, based on problematical taxa, 

archaeocyathid and trilobite stratigraphy. 

Based on its trilobite associations, a middle 

Marianian age for the Alanis Fauna and Platysolenites 

antiquissimus Eichwald, 1860 is established. 

The youngest association, the 

149

Hadimopanella-Archiasterella association, has 

been found in the lower pan of the Lancara 

Formation of the Cantabrian Ranges. Owing 

to a diachronism, there are only some localities 

where the griotte member starts in the 

Eoparadoxides mureroensis Zone. However. 

green glauconitic limestones, probably formed 

during a sedimentary condensation, yield 

Hadimopanella, so it could appear at the beginning 

of the Eoparadoxides mureroensis 

Zone or at the end of the Bilbilian.

of Archaean and Early Proterozoic zircon 

xenocrysts in southwest Sweden. ( 英文 ). Cornell 

D; Areback H; Schersten A. GFF, 2000, 

122(4): 377-383 

A single zircon grain dated by ion probe 

with a minimum age of 3432+/-30 Ma was 

found in a microgranite dyke, which cuts 

norite of 916+/-11 Ma Hakefjorden Complex 

at Algon on the Swedish west coast north of 

Gothenburg. Zircons are a rare accessory mineral 

in this dyke. They could be classified by 

morphology as orthocrysts and xenocrysts. 

Data from four orthocrysts show that the dyke 

originated between 911+/-14 and 916+/-11 

Ma, and was probably derived from the Hakefjorden 

Complex contact migmatite. Eight of 

the dated grains are xenocrysts, probably derived 

from the Stora Le-Marstrand Formation. 

They have Pb-207-Pb-206 minimum ages 

from c.1451 to 3432+/-6 Ma, and the oldest 

grain has a probable age of 3457+/-10 Ma, 

derived from a discordia regression, with 

445+/-38 Ma lower intercept reflecting Phanerozoic 

lead loss. This grain is the oldest yet 

dated in Scandinavia. Together with six >1750 

Ma zircon grains in both this sample and a 

related Stora Le-Marstrand-derived sample, it 

casts doubt on the prevailing model of incremental 

crustal growth in Scandinavia, southwestwards 

from an Archaean core in the 

northeast of the Baltic Shield. These old ages, 

together with published Sm-Nd data, also contradict 

the proposed origin of the Stora Le- 

Marstrand Formation in an isolated oceanic 

island are setting. It is more likely that it 

formed on the eastern tin present-day terms) 

margin of an Archaean continent, which did 

not join Baltica till the Sveconorwegian orogenic 

cycle.

T; Vaasjoki M. GFF, 2000, 122(3): 273-280 

A minor massif of approximately 2700 Ma 

Archaean granodiorite and tonalite is exposed 

in a Svecofennian environment at Vallen- 

Alhamn, near to the Archaean-Proterozoic 

Palaeoboundary in northern Sweden. Close to 

this massif occur conglomerate-like rocks (in 

part interpreted as a magmatic, hydraulic 

breccia) with fragments of Palaeoproterozoic 

metavolcanites and granitoids as well as of the 

Archaean granitoids. The present work comprises 

dating of the granitoids of the massif, c. 

2700 and 1900 Ma granitoid fragments in two 

occurrences of conglomerate-like rocks, and 

the volcanogenic matrix of one of the conglomerate-like 

rocks. The age of igneouslooking 

zircons in the matrix (1871 +/- 2 Ma) 

is interpreted to be close to the time of formation 

of the conglomerate-like rock, and points 

to an Upper Svecofennian stratigraphic position. 

The bedrock of the Vallen-Alhamn area 

is thus a unique example of Archaean rocks in 

close geographic association with Upper Svecofennian 

supracrustal or shallow-level intrusive 

rocks.

Reyment R A. GFF, 1999, 121(1): 49-55 

The multivariate statistical analysis of 

chemical data in petrology and geochemistry 

entails principles that are little known among 

geological practitioners. Such data are compositional, 

and hence, lie in a sub-space of full 

space, the simplex. The concept of productmoment 

correlation of full space cannot be 

validly applied to them, because of the subcompositional 

incoherency of that statistic in 

the simplex. A second type of problem concerns 

the stability of multivariate estimates. 

Appropriate techniques, such as principal 

component cross-validation, are discussed exemplified 

and contrasted with inappropriate 

procedures using geochemical data on Swedish 

Proterozoic dyke swarms. Essential features 

of compositional covariance structure are 

exemplified in an Appendix.

( 英文 ). Lundqvist T; Vaasjoki M; Persson 

P O. GFF, 1998, 120(4): 357-363 

New U-Pb age data on two early orogenic 

granodiorites (ca. 1930 Ma) and one felsic 

metavolcanite (1870 Ma) from the Svecofennian 

Bothnian Basin area of central Sweden 

are presented. Combined with literature data 

they suggest an extended, at least ca. 80 m.y. 

long, evolution of this part of the Bothnian 

Basin. Sedimentation started before 1950 Ma, 

and continued up to at least 1870 Ma. Earlyorogenic 

plutonic activity started at ca. 1950 

Ma, perhaps even earlier, and continued up to 

ca. 1850-1840 Ma. Detrital zircons found in 

low-grade greywackes of the region range in 

age from ca. 1880 to 2020 Ma. According to 

the tentative model suggested here, these zircons 

may emanate from granitoids intruded 

into the greywacke sequence of the Bothnian 

Basin. They were subsequently exposed to 

erosion and included in upper parts of the 

sedimentary column. These upper parts could 

(statistically) be of a lower metamorphic grade 

than older greywackes, which are generally 

migmatized.

Lundstrom I; Allen R L; Persson P O; Ripa M. 

GFF, 1998, 120(3): 315-320 

A belt of Palaeoproterozoic, dominantly 

felsic metavolcanic rocks occurs in southcentral 

Sweden. The volcanic rocks comprise 

volcaniclastics, lavas and subvolcanic intrusions. 

The volcanic pile is more than 8 km 

thick and overlies an unexposed basement. 

Two new U-Pb zircon age determinations 

provide precise control on the age of stratigraphically 

and volcanologically wellconstrained 

volcanic rocks in the belt. One age 

determination from a pyroclastic flow deposit 

at Uta in the easternmost part of the volcanic 

belt yielded an age of 1904+/-4 Ma. Stratigraphic 

and depositional facies analyses show 

that this rock marks the onset of volcanism in 

the area. The igneous activity was coeval with 

a change from deep water sedimentation to 

shallow water and subaerial sedimentation in a 

broadly continental setting. Another determination 

of zircons from a similar pyroclastic 

flow deposit at the lowest known stratigraphic 

level east of Hallefors in W. Bergslagen in the 

westernmost part of the volcanic belt gave an 

age of 1891+/-4 Ma. This age is consistent 

with previously published ages for metavolcanic 

rocks in W. Bergslagen. The age of the 

onset of volcanism in W. Bergslagen is not 

possible to determine because the lowermost 

sections of all known volcanic successions are 

truncated by intrusive rocks. Consequently, it 

is unknown whether volcanism also commenced 

around 1904 Ma in the western part of 

the region, or if it commenced later, just prior 

to 1891 Ma. The duration of volcanism also 

remains to be constrained.

record of extraterrestrial impacts in deepshelf 

environments: Evidence from the early 

Precambrian. ( 英文 ). Hassler S W; Simonson 

B M. Journal of Geology, 2001, 109(1): 1-19 

Impact ejecta layers in four formations in 

the Hamersley Basin (Western Australia) and 

in one formation from the Transvaal Supergroup 

(South Africa) show striking evidence 

for impact-related reworking. Each layer contains 

sand-sized spherules of a former silicate 

melt that resemble those found in welldocumented 

impact layers. Given available 

isotopic age dates of associated strata and uncertainties 

in stratigraphic correlation, these 

layers represent a minimum of three and a 

maximum of five impacts between ca. 2.49 

and 2.63 Ga. All of these layers were deposited 

below wave base in deep-shelf environments, 

yet they show a common suite of sedimentary 

features indicating deposition and 

reworking under high-energy conditions. 

These features occur in a consistent order: (1) 

extensive erosion, including the transport of 

meter-scale rip-up clasts, (2) reworking by 

waves, (3) synwave to postwave offshoredirected 

bottom return flow, and (4) later reworking 

by sediment gravity flows. We interpret 

the consistent association of erosion, 

wave reworking, and bottom return flow as a 

result of tsunami triggered by the impact. The 

sediment gravity flows may have been triggered 

by impact or may occur much later. The 

151

wave features in these layers indicate they are 

the result of oceanic impacts, and their sedimentological 

similarities suggest a consistent 

set of depositional processes that can be used 

to recognize the distal ejecta layers of marine 

impacts, particularly those deposited in deepshelf 

settings. Given the relatively rapid tectonic 

recycling of oceanic crust, such layers 

probably constitute our best source of information 

on the frequency and effects of large 

impacts in open-ocean basins.

The Yangtze Platform preserves relatively 

thick carbonate successions and excellent fossil 

records across the Ediacaran-Cambrian 

boundary interval. The intensely studied Meishucun 

section in East Yunnan was one of the 

Global Stratotype Section candidates for the 

Precambrian-Cambrian boundary. However, 

depositional breaks were Suspected in the section 

and the first appearance of small shelly 

fossils could not be verified. The Laolin section 

located in NE Yunnan is more Continuous 

and shows great potential for global correlation 

of carbon isotope features across the 

Precambrian-Cambrian boundary However, 

the stratigraphic framework and correlations 

were controversial. We Studied and systematically 

sampled the Laolin section and present 

here new carbon isotope data for this section. 

The Laolin section consists of, in ascending 

order, the Baiyanshao dolostone of the 

Dengying Formation, the Daibu siliceous 

dolostone, Zhongyicun dolomitic phosphorite, 

lower Dahai dolostone and upper Dahai limestone 

of the Zhujiaqing Formation, and the 

black siltstone of the Shiyantou Formation. 

Our data reveal a large negative delta C-13 

excursion (-7.2 parts per thousand, L1') in the 

Daibu Member, which matches the previously 

published data for the Laolin section, and a 

large positive excursion (+3.5 parts per thousand, 

L4) in the Dahai Member, which was 

not shown in the published data. The excursion 

L1' correlates well with the similarly 

large negative excursion near the first appearance 

of small shelly fossils in Siberia and 

Mongolia. Similar magnitude, excursions are 

also known from Morocco and Oman, for 

which there are no robust fossil constraints but 

from where volcanic ash beds have been dated 

precisely at 542 Ma, thus confirming a global 

biogeochemical event near the Ediacaran- 

Cambrian boundary. Our data also indicate 

that deposition was more continuous at the 

Laolin section compared with the Meishucun 

section, where there are no records of a com- 

152

parable negative excursion near the Ediacaran- 

Cambrian boundary, nor any comparable positive 

excursion ill the Dahai Member. Therefore, 

the Laolin section has proven potential to 

be a supplementary Global Stratotype Section 

for the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary on the 

Yangtze Platform.

Carbon-isotope analyses of fossil wood 

from the Middle Jurassic Ravenscar Group, 

Yorkshire, NE England, reveal a significant 

excursion toward light isotopic values 

(delta(13)C change of -3 to -4%) at about the 

Aalenian-Bajocian boundary (similar to174 

Ma). A positive carbon isotopic excursion is 

also shown for the middle Bajocian (similar 

to170 Ma) but is less clearly defined. These 

isotopic patterns are very similar to the few 

published marine carbonate records available 

for this time, in particular one based on belemnites 

from the Hebrides basin, NW Scotland, 

and others from pelagic limestones in 

Italy. The similarity of the terrestrial and marine 

isotope curves is an indication that the 

observed isotopic signal is a global phenomenon. 

Through parts of the Ravenscar Group 

( the Scarborough Formation), supplementary 

data from bulk organic carbon and palynofacies 

analysis confirm that isotopic curves 

based on bulk analyses may be strongly influenced 

by the balance of terrestrial versus marine 

organic matter present in the samples. 

The negative isotope excursion at the 

Aalenian-Bajocian boundary marks a change 

from charcoal to coal as the dominant preservational 

mode of the macroscopic wood fossils, 

which is interpreted here as a shift to a 

more continuously humid climate in the Early 

Bajocian. Upsection, charcoal once again becomes 

common, reflecting a return to more 

fire-prone ( presumably seasonally arid) environments 

in the middle Bajocian. Paradoxically, 

floral assemblages associated with the 

lithological unit in which the negative excursion 

occurs display characteristics that would 

normally be interpreted as adaptations to water 

stress brought about by relative aridity or 

salinity. Preliminary analyses of leaf stomatal 

densities show some evidence of raised pCO(2) 

relative to background values at about the 

level of the negative excursion.

Paleoenvironmental changes in the upper 

Middle Miocene Central Parathetys were reconstructed 

by using qualitative and quantitative 

palaeontological analyses of foraminifera 

and ostracods, coupled with trace elemental 

(Mg/Ca) and stable isotope (delta O-18 and 

delta C-13) analyses of their carbonate skeletons 

and of gastropod sheets. Mean annual air 

temperatures were estimated using the oxygen 

isotope composition of contemporaneous rodent 

teeth. The studied aquatic fossils come 

from two boreholes in the Zsambek basin 

(northern central Hungary), while the terres- 

153

trial ones are from localities in NE Hungary 

and E Romania. In the studied Sarmatian successions, 

three zones could be distinguished, 

based on palaeontological and geochemical 

results. At the Badenian/Sarmatian boundary, 

faunal diversity decreased markedly. In the 

lower zone a transgressive event culminated in 

a seawater incursion into the semi-open basin 

system of the Central Paratheys. Stable bottom-water 

temperature (similar to 15 degrees 

C) and variable salinites (20-22%) are estimated 

for the Early Sarmatian Sea. The faunal 

changes (notably a strong reduction in biodiversity) 

occuring at the boundary between the 

lower and the middle zone can be explained 

by a sea-leval highstand with dysoxic conditions. 

A relative sea-level fall is documented 

at the end of this middle zone. After a short 

regressive event, a marine connection between 

the Paratethys and Mediterranean was established 

at the beginning of the upper zone. This 

is indicated by an increased microfaunal diversity 

and the re-appearance of marine 

Bademan ostracods and foraminifera, which 

are completely absent from the older Samatian 

series. During the upper zone, the temperatures 

and salmities are estimated to have fluctuated 

from 15 degrees C to 21 degrees C and 

from 15 parts per thousand to 43 parts per 

thousand, respectively.

We present new stable (C, O) isotopic, biostratigraphic 

and organic geochemical data for 

the Vigla Shale Member of the Ionian Zone in 

NW Greece, in order to characterize organic 

carbon-rich strata that potentially record the 

impact of Cretaceous Oceanic Anoxic Events 

(OAEs). In a section exposed near Gotzikas 

(NW Epirus), we sampled a number of decimetre-thick, 

organic carbon-rich units enclosed 

within marly, locally silicified, Vigla 

Limestone (Berriasian-Turonian). All these 

units are characterized by largely comparable 

bulk geochemical characteristics, indicating a 

common marine origin and low thermal maturity. 

However, the stratigraphically highest 

of these black shales is further distinguished 

by its much higher total organic-carbon (TOC) 

content (28.9 wt %) and Hydrogen Index (HI) 

(529), and much enriched delta(13)C(org) 

value (-22.1parts per thousand). Planktonic 

foraminiferal and calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy 

indicate a lower to middle Albian 

age for the strata immediately above, and a 

lower Aptian age for the strata below, the uppermost 

black shale. In terms of molecular 

organic geochemistry, the latter black shale is 

also relatively enriched in specific isoprenoidal 

compounds (especially monocyclic isoprenoids), 

whose isotopic values are as high as 

-15parts per thousand, indicating a substantial 

archaeal contribution to the organic matter. 

The striking similarities between the molecular 

signatures of the uppermost Vigla black 

shale and coeval organic-rich strata from SE 

France and the North Atlantic (ODP Site 

1049C) indicate that this level constitutes a 

record of the Paquier Event (OAE1b).

origin and tectonic significance of Mesozoic 

sediment-filled fissures in the Mendip Hills 

(SW England): implications for extension

Wall GRT; Jenkyns H C. Geological Magazine, 

2004, 141(4): 471-504 

In the eastern Mendip Hills, on the northern 

margin of the Wessex Basin, SW England, the 

Carboniferous Limestone is cut by numerous 

fissures that are filled with Mesozoic sediments 

(sedimentary dykes, neptunian dykes). 

The fissures contain a record of Triassic- 

Lower Jurassic sediments that are only sparingly 

preserved in their normal stratigraphical 

position between the Carboniferous Limestone 

and the unconformably overlying Upper Inferior 

Oolite of Bajocian age. Detailed analysis 

of cross-cutting relationships, facies analysis, 

biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy and strontium-isotope 

ages of relevant Mesozoic sediments 

has allowed the construction of an Upper 

Triassic-Lower Jurassic fissure-fill stratigraphy 

for the eastern Mendip area. Most fissures 

were clearly formed by rapid influx of 

unlithified sediment from the land surface or 

sea floor. Some smaller cavities, or larger 

cavities with restricted access to the unconformity, 

were apparently filled by sediment 

that trickled down into the fissure system. The 

vast majority of the Mendip fissures are inter- 

154

preted as having formed as a response of the 

Carboniferous Limestone, north of major basin-bounding 

faults, to pulses of tectonic extension 

during Ladinian-Norian/Rhaetian, late 

Hettangian-early Sinemurian, late Sinemurianearly 

Pliensbachian, mid-Pliensbachian, late 

Pliensbachian and Bajocian times. Triassicearliest 

Jurassic fissures have a broad spread 

of strike from E-W to NW-SE to N-S, accommodating 

extension in a roughly NE-SW 

direction. Younger Jurassic fissures show 

well-defined E-W and N-S trends with the 

former becoming dominant through time. Total 

extension of similar to4.7% N-S and similar 

to 0.6% E-W was produced by the formation 

of Triassic-Jurassic fissures within the 

Carboniferous Limestone. Such patterns of 

extension are thought likely to be characteristic 

of the subsurface geology in much of 

southern England and Wales. Major implications 

of this study are that: (1) the presence of 

seismically unresolvable sediment-filled fissures 

in supposedly rigid fault blocks can lead 

to a significant underestimate of regional extension 

based on the restoration of motion on 

normal faults on seismic-reflection profiles, 

and (2) the isolation of pulses of tectonic activity 

with a temporal resolution of 10(5)-10(6) 

years may provide a means of identifying a 

tectonic signal in relative sea-level curves derived 

from the Jurassic sedimentary record.

Magazine, 2004, 141(3): 319-328 

Fossil wood from the poorly dated (Jurassic-Cretaceous) 

continental sediments of the 

Khorat Group, northeastern Thailand (Isan) is 

described. The Khorat Group is widely distributed 

(Laos, Cambodia and Thailand) and, 

despite its poorly known age, stratigraphy and 

palaeoecology, is of importance in understanding 

the Sibumasu-Indochina collision. 

The systematics of wood assemblage and palaeobiogeographical 

analysis reveal strong 

relationships with Indochina, especially Vietnam, 

and suggest an age in the range Middle 

Jurassic to Early Cretaceous. According to 

wood taphonomy, the corresponding trees 

grew alongside streams under a rather and 

climate, although this became wetter during 

the deposition of the upper formations of the 

Khorat Group.

太平洋早白垩世 ( 巴列姆阶 - 森诺曼阶 ) 的 

同位素变化新发现 = New constraints upon 

isotope variation during the early Cretaceous 

(Barremian-Cenomanian) from the Pacific 

Ocean. ( 英文 ). Price G D. Geological Magazine, 

2003, 140(5): 513-522 

Carbon and oxygen isotope data from a 

succession of Cretaceous (Barremian- 

Cenomanian) age recovered from the Pacific 

Ocean (DSDP site 463) are presented. The 

carbon isotope curve reveals a large isotope 

excursion within the early Aptian where 

delta(13)C values reach similar to4.8parts per 

thousand in the L. cabri-G. ferreolensis foraminifera 

zone. A decrease in delta(13)C values 

is observed at the base G. algerianus zone, 

before a return to more positive values at the 

top of the G. algerianus-T. bejaouaensis zone. 

The pronounced early Aptian positive event is 

preceded by a large negative isotope excursion, 

confined to the G. blowi zone. Synchronous 

with this excursion are increased total organic 

carbon values and increases in Mn and Fe 

concentrations. Integrated biostratigraphic and 

magnetostratigraphic data, together with the 

carbon isotope profile, suggest that the organic-rich 

units of site 463 are correlatable 

with Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a. The input of 

isotopically light volcanic CO2 in concert 

with the intensification and upwelling of intermediate 

water enriched in C-12 could account 

for the observed trends. A potential 

trigger may have been the destabilization of 

the water column and the prodigious CO2 

emissions associated with hydrothermal activity 

and the emplacement of the Ontong Java 

Plateau. Coupled with faunal evidence, the 

subsequent positive carbon isotope excursion 

is interpreted to be resulting from high, but 

decreasing, productivity and possibly increasing 

ocean stratification resulting in strong carbon 

isotopic gradients and C-13-enriched surface 

waters. The decrease in delta(13)C within 

the G. algerianus zone is coincident with more 

positive delta(18)O values. If these are interpreted 

in terms of temperature this interval 

may be characterized by a period of cooling 

and possibly a waning of C-org cycling. A 

return to lower delta(13)C values during the 

middle Albian is considered to be related to 

the increased influence of upwelling, as opposed 

to a waning of C-org cycling. Upwelling 

introduced isotopically light carbon to the 

155

surface, arresting the stratified oceanic conditions.

岩浆演化 : 来自 Baer-Bassit 混杂堆积物的 

证据 = Mesozoic sedimentary and magmatic 

evolution of the Arabian continental margin, 

northern Syria: evidence from the Baer-Bassit 

Melange. ( 英文 ). Al-Riyami K; Robertson A. 


One of the few detailed records of Mesozoic 

deep-water sedimentation and volcanism 

preserved along the tectonically emplaced 

Arabian continental margin is from the Baer- 

Bassit region of northern Syria. South- 

Tethyan units there occur as blocks, broken 

formation and disrupted thrust sheets within 

the Bear-Bassit Melange. Two overall composite 

successions are identified. The first 

comprises mainly sedimentary successions 

ranging from Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous 

(Cenomanian) in age. The second is dominated 

by Middle Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous 

alkaline/per-alkaline volcanic and minor intrusive 

igneous rocks. The extrusives are intercalated 

with radiolarian sediments and capped 

by Cenomanian ferromanganese-rich pelagic 

limestone. Facies comparisons and the regional 

setting suggest that the Triassic to 

Cenomanian, mainly sedimentary units, 

formed in deep water near the base of the 

slope of the Arabian continental margin. The 

contrasting volcanogenic successions developed 

in a more distal off-margin setting. Regional 

comparisons (e.g. with southwestern 

Cyprus and southwestern Turkey) suggest that 

continental break-up to form a South-Tethyan 

oceanic basin took place in Late Triassic time, 

associated with alkaline volcanism. Similar 

alkaline volcanism of Middle Jurassic to Early 

Cretaceous age could reflect the activity of a 

mantle plume beneath the Arabian plate. 

Overall, sedimentation was mainly controlled 

by an interplay of post-rift thermal subsidence, 

plume-related uplift, siliceous oceanic productivity, 

climatic change and eustatic sea-level 

change. The South-Tethyan marginal to oceanic 

units in northern Syria were detached 

from an inferred oceanic basement in latest 

Cretaceous time, emplaced onto the Arabian 

continental margin, then transgressed by 

Maastrichian and younger autochthonous successions.

A number of sedimentary basins formed 

within the Tauride-Anatolide Platform of Anatolia 

during the Late Cretaceous-Tertiary period. 

Previous studies have proposed different 

tectonic and evolutionary models for each basin. 

Geological characteristics of the basins, 

however, suggest that all these basins are of 

the same origin and that they followed a similar 

evolutionary model to one another. Basin 

development within the Tauride-Anatolide 

Platform took place in a post-collisional environment 

following the northward subduction 

of the northern Neotethys ocean beneath the 

Pontides. The closure of the northern Neotethys 

ocean ended with collision of the 

Tauride-Anatolide Platform with the Pontide 

volcanic arc and resulted in large bodies of 

oceanic remnants thrust over the Tauride- 

Anatolide Platform as ophiolite nappes. Formation 

of the sedimentary basins followed the 

emplacement of the ophiolite nappes as they 

formed as piggy-back basins on top of the underlying 

thrust ophiolite basement.

Fire-prone plant communities and palaeoclimate 

of a Late Cretaceous fluvial to estuarine

( 英文 ). Falcon-Lang H J; Kvacek J; Ulicny D. 


The botanical identity and facies distribution 

of fossil charcoal is described from Middle 

to Late Cenomanian (90-94 Ma) fluvial to 

estuarine units at Pecinov quarry, near Prague, 

Czech Republic. Braided alluvial facies associations 

contain charred conifer woods (family 

Pinaceae) possibly derived from upland forest 

fires, and abundant charred angiosperm woods, 

flowers and inflorescences (families Lauraceae 

and Platanaceae) derived from riparian 

gallery forest fires (Unit 2). Retrogradational 

coastal salt marsh facies associations 

contain abundant charred conifer wood (families 

Cheirolepidiaceae and Cupressaceae/Taxodiaceae) 

derived from fires in 

halophytic backswamp forest, and rare pinaceous 

charred cones and lauraceous angiosperm 

wood washed downstream from fires 

156

further inland (Units 3-4). Progradational 

coastal facies associations within an estuary 

mouth setting contain abundant charred conifer 

wood (family Cup ressaceae/Taxodiaceae), 

common taxodiaceous conifer and angiosperm 

leaves, fern rachises, and lycopsid stems derived 

from fires in mesic backswamp taxodiaceous 

forests and supra-tidal fern-lycopsid 

thickets (Unit 5). Growth rings in angiosperm 

and conifer woods, leaf physiognomy and 

computer models indicate that climate was 

equable, warm and humid, but that there was a 

short annual dry season; most fires probably 

occurred during these annual drought periods. 

The abundance of charcoal and the diversity 

of taxa preserved in this state indicate that 

nearly all plant communities were fire-prone. 

Physiognomically, the Pecinov flora resembles 

present-day seasonally-dry subtropical 

forests where fires are a common occurrence.

For the purposes of a high-resolution multidisciplinary 

study of the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge 

Clay Formation, two boreholes were 

drilled at Swanworth Quarry and one at 

Metherhills, south Dorset, UK. Together, the 

cores represent the first:complete section 

through the entire formation close to the type 

section. We present graphic logs that record 

the stratigraphy of the cores, and outline the 

complementary geophysical and analytical 

data sets (gamma ray, magnetic susceptibility, 

total organic carbon, carbonate, delta C- 

13(org)). Of particular note are the new borehole 

data from the lowermost part of the formation 

which does not crop out in the type 

area. Detailed logs are available for download 

from the Kimmeridge Drilling Project website 

at http://kimmeridge. earth.ox.ac.uk/. Of 

further interest is a, mid-eudoxus Zone positive 

shift in the delta (13)C(org)record, a feature 

that is also registered in Tethyan carbonate 

successions, suggesting that it is a regional 

event and may therefore be useful for correlation. 

The lithostratigraphy of the cores has 

been precisely correlated with the nearby cliff 

section, which has also been examined and redescribed. 

Magnetic-susceptibility and spectral 

gamma-ray measurements were made at a 

regular spacing through the succession, and 

facilitate core-to-exposure correlation. The 

strata of the exposure and core have been subdivided 

into four main mudrock lithological 

types: (a) medium-dark-dark-grey marl; (b) 

medium-dark-dark grey-greenish black shale; 

(c) dark-grey-olive-black laminated shale; (d) 

greyish-black-brownish-black mudstone. The 

sections also contain subordinate amounts of 

siltstone, limestone and dolostone. Comparison 

of the type section with the cores reveals 

slight lithological variation and notable thickness 

differences between the coeval strata. 

The proximity of the boreholes:and different 

parts of the type section to the Purbeck-Isle of 

Wight Disturbance is proposed as a likely control 

on the thickness changes.

Magazine, 2001, 138(3): 277-298 

Microfossil distribution patterns and highresolution 

delta C-13 and delta O-18 curves, 

calibrated against planktonic foraminiferal and 

calcareous nannofossil data, are provided for 

the Aptian pelagic Coppitella section of the 

Gargano Promontory (southern Italy). The 

succession consists of cyclically arranged 

couplets of bioturbated grey marlstones and 

off-white marry limestones, referable to the 

Marne a Fucoidi. In the lower portion of the 

section, two thin black shares were recognized. 

The high-resolution delta C-13 curve presented 

here correlates with those of other Alpine-Tethyan 

sections, albeit with lower absolute 

values. The onset of deposition of organic-rich 

sediments falls at the top of the interval 

of unchanging carbon-isotope values, 

whereas the upper black shale is documented 

from the interval of the main Aptian positive 

delta C-13 excursion. According to our biostratigraphic 

data, the deposition of organic 

matter in the Gargano Promontory persisted 

through Early/Late Aptian boundary time. Using 

a chemostratigraphic definition, only the 

lower black shale is referred to the Selli Level. 

As far as the biotic response is concerned, the 

onset of the 'nannoconid crisis' is recorded 

considerably below the lower black shale, 

whereas the 'Globigerinelloides eclipse' is re- 

157

corded below and within the upper black shale. 

The distribution of meso-eutrophic indices 

(Zygodiscus spp., radiolaria) vs, moderatefertility 

indices (Rhagodiscus asper and 

Lithraphidites carniolensis) testifies to a modest 

increase of surface-water fertility only 

throughout the stratigraphically higher black 

shale. The occurrence of a benthic foraminiferal 

fauna, albeit impoverished, in both the 

basal and upper black horizons clearly documents 

dysaerobic rather than completely anoxic 

conditions on the sea floor. Relative sealevel 

rise at the time of the Selli Event in the 

Gargano Promontory is documented by 

drowning and foundering of the Apulia platform 

margin, situated adjacent to the basin in 

which the Marne a Fucoidi accumulated.

D J. Geological Magazine, 2001, 138(1): 39- 

52 

The leaf longevity and seasonal timing of 

leaf abscission within a plant community is 

closely related to climate, a phenomenon referred 

to as leaf phenology. In this paper the 

leaf phenology of some mid-Cretaceous (late 

Albian) forests which grew at latitude of 75 

degrees S on Alexander Island, Antarctica, is 

analysed. Five independent techniques for determining 

leaf longevity are applied to the fossil 

remains of each of the canopy-forming 

trees. These techniques utilize: (1) the anatomical 

character of growth rings in trunk 

woods, (2) leaf trace persistence in juvenile 

branch and stem woods, (3) leaf physiognomy, 

(4) comparison with nearest living relatives, 

and (5) leaf taphonomy. The application of 

techniques 1-5 suggests that the araucarian 

and podocarp conifers, which comprised more 

than 90% of the canopy-forming vegetation, 

were evergreen with leaf retention times in 

excess of 5-13 years. The application of techniques 

3-5 to rare taxodioid conifers indicates 

the existence of both evergreen and deciduous 

habits in this group, whilst both ginkgos and 

taeniopterids, which are locally abundant, are 

interpreted as possessing a deciduous habit. 

The polar forests of Alexander Island were 

therefore dominantly evergreen. Preliminary 

analysis of five other mid-Cretaceous polar 

forests suggests the presence of dominantly 

evergreen vegetation in Australia and Antarctica, 

and mixed evergreen-deciduous vegetation 

in Alaska, northern Russia and New Zealand. 

Cold month mean temperature probably 

exerted the largest influence on the leaf 

phenology at each of these forest sites.

A coastal exposure at Wine Haven, Robin 

Hood's Bay (North Yorkshire, UK) fulfils the 

criteria for definition as the Global Stratotype 

Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the 

Pliensbachian Stage (Lower Jurassic). This 

marine sequence was deposited during a longterm 

transgression and is relatively expanded 

stratigraphically. A rich fauna of ammonites 

above and below the boundary interval allows 

recognition of the Leptechioceras gr. meigeini, 

Paltechioceras aureolum and Paltechioceras 

tardecrescens horizons of latest Sinemurian 

age, and the Bifericeras donovani, and Apoderoceras 

gr. aculeatum horizons of earliest 

Pliensbachian age. A suitable level for the 

boundary is characterized by the faunal association 

of Bifericeras donovani Dommergues 

& Meister and Apoderoceras sp. Strontiumisotope 

stratigraphy, based on analysis of belemnites, 

yields a calcite Sr-87/Sr-86 ratio for 

the suggested boundary level of 0.707425+/- 

0.000021 (combined uncertainties based on 

line fit to stratigraphic dataset (+/-0.000004) 

and measurement of the standard (+/- 

0.000017)). Alternative uncertainties of similar 

to+/-0.000008 are associated with the most 

extreme interpretation of sedimentation-rate 

history allowed by the strontium-isotope data 

(that is, abrupt changes in sedimentation rate 

at precisely the boundary level); however, 

sedimentological considerations, and measured 

strontium-isotope values at the boundary, 

support condensation rather than hiatus. Belemnite 

oxygen-isotope data suggest a significant 

temperature drop(similar to5 degreesC) 

across the boundary at this locality.

More than 190 articulate brachiopods from

mean delta O-18 values from Lower 

Saxony and southern England show bottomwater 

temperatures in the range of 14.2 to 18.2 

degreesC (delta O-18(W) = -1.5 parts per 

thousand SMOW for an ice-free world). The 

relative trend of mean brachiopod oxygen and 

carbon isotopes shows a short-term (200 k.y.) 

increase in the mid-Upper Turonian horizons 

that confirms the climate cooling (similar to2 

degreesC) observed in bulk-rock samples at 

different sites in Europe. Interbasinal comparisons 

between England and Germany show 

similar delta C-13 values in both basins, 

whereas oxygen isotopes are heavier in 

northwestern Germany than in England, suggesting 

a cool-water influence from the North 

Sea basin and temperate conditions in the Angle-Paris 

basin.

Marine vertebrate faunas from the latest 

Cretaceous phosphates of the Palmyrides 

Chain of Syria are described for the first time. 

Recent fieldwork in the phosphatic deposits of 

the Palmyra area (mines of Charquieh and 

Khneifiss, outcrops of Bardeh, Soukkari and 

Soukhneh) have yielded a rich and diversified 

assemblage of marine vertebrates, including 

more than 50 species of chondrichthyes, 

osteichthyes, squamates, chelonians, plesiosaurians 

and crocodilians. Selachians are the 

most abundant and diverse component of the 

faunas and are represented by at least 34 species 

of both sharks and rays. Actinopterygians 

include representatives of six families, the 

most common being the enchodontids. Squamates 

are known by six mosasaurid species 

and an indeterminate varanoid. Chelonians are 

represented by at least two bothremydids and 

two chelonioids. Finally, elasmosaurid plesiosaurs 

and indeterminate crocodilians are also 

present in the fossil assemblages. The difference 

in faunal composition observed between 

the sites is interpreted as being due to palaeoecological 

preferences related to the 

Hamad Uplift palaeostructure. The marine 

vertebrate faunas of Syria show close affinities 

with those of the latest Cretaceous phosphatic 

deposits of North Africa and the Middle 

East and are typical of the southern Tethyan 

realm. From a biostratigraphical point of view, 

the selachians are the only suitable material to 

provide elements of an answer to the long debated 

question of the age of the Syrian Senonian 

phosphates. They suggest an Early Maastrichtian 

age for most of the phosphates of the 

Palmyrides Chain.

137(2): 193-205 

Thin bioclastic limestone beds ('coquinas') 

in the Vectis Formation (Wealden Group, 

Lower Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight, 

southern England, exhibit a range of biofabrics 

and internal stratigraphies. These features 

are attributed to both simple and complex 

storm deposition of allochthonous biogenic 

and siliciclastic materials in coastal lagoons 

and on adjacent mudflats. These modes of 

deposition facilitated preservation of dinosaur 

trackways, desiccation cracks, shallow-tier 

trace fossils and in situ bivalve colonies 

through rapid burial. The coquinas thus preserve 

a record of surficial muds, commonly 

lost through reworking. The principal components 

of the coquinas comprise dispersed elements 

from within the argillaceous 'background' 

facies. Some of these beds are laterally 

traceable for up to 27 km, providing the 

foundations for a high-resolution eventstratigraphic 

framework.

The study is dedicated to the analysis of

(West Siberia, Mariinsk and Chebula districts 

of the Kemerovo region) with the characteristic 

of the Serta paleofloral complex from the 

Kiya Formation, Kubaevo and Podaik complexes 

originating from the basal layers of the 

Simonovo Formation. It is shown that the 

Serta floral complex characterizes the 

autonomous late Albian stage in development 

of the Cretaceous flora in West Siberia, while 

the Kubaevo and Podaik floral complexes reflect 

different types of plant communities of 

the Chulym stage in development of this flora 

(Cenomanian). It is established that florabearing 

layers of the Simonovo Formation in 

the Kiya River basin rest with the erosional 

surface upon flora-bearing sediments of the 

Kiya Formation. The obtained data allow the 

conclusion that the Kiya and Simonovo formations 

form a stratigraphic succession, do 

not replace laterally each other and, correspondingly, 

are diachronous.

New detrital mineral age and whole-rock 

geochemical data provide the first constraints 

on the composition and source of North 

American Triassic strata in the northern Canadian 

Cordillera. Conodont-bearing Triassic 

strata collected from five locations across 

west-central to southeastern Yukon contain 

trace-element ratios ((La/Yb) N = ~8; Eu/Eu* = 

~0.66), εNd (248 Ma) values (-9 to-10), and detrital 

zircon ages (400-680, 980-1200, 1500- 

1650, 1800-2000 Ma) that correspond with 

those of coeval rocks in the Canadian Arctic 

Islands and the Western Canada Sedimentary 

Basin of British Columbia and Alberta. The 

majority of detrital zircons were cannibalized 

from Ellesmerian clastic wedge and western 

Laurentian margin strata and recycled into 

Triassic rocks. Conspicuous early Paleozoic 

and Neoproterozoic detrital zircons may have 

been ultimately derived from allochthonous 

rocks of Caledonian-Baltican affinity in northern 

North America, such as the Pearya and 

Arctic Alaska- Chukotka terranes. One Early 

Triassic unit in eastern Yukon contains ca. 

360 Ma detrital muscovite, and samples from 

several localities include single-grain occurrences 

of Mississippian detrital zircon. Mississippian 

detrital mineral ages likely record a 

partial source from mid-Paleozoic rocks of the 

allochthonous Slide Mountain and Yukon- 

Tanana terranes following their Late Permian 

- Early Triassic emplacement onto the Cordilleran 

margin. More substantial evidence of 

terrane-derived sediment deposited along the 

North American margin may be further identified 

within Triassic strata that are exposed to 

the west (outboard) of our sample sites, immediately 

adjacent to the Slide Mountain and 

Yukon-Tanana terranes.

Whole-rock stable-carbon isotope records 

and ammonite biostratigraphy from a dense 

set of sections representative of the Helvetic 

thrust-and-fold belt of the Alps indicate a synchronous, 

middle Early Aptian age (near the 

boundary between the weissi and deshayesi 

zones) for the demise of the Urgonian platform. 

The Middle Early Aptian demise of the 

Urgonian platform is an important environmental 

event, which is identified in France, 

Spain, Portugal, Oman, Mexico, and in the 

Pacific realm. Within the resolution limits imposed 

by biostratigraphy and other dating 

techniques, the event appears to be synchronous 

on a global scale. Many authors associate 

the disappearance of coral-rudist reefs related 

with the demise of the Urgonian platforms to 

the unfolding of the middle Early Aptian Selli 

event, an oceanic anoxic event of global importance.

Magmatic stratigraphy of the tilted Tottabetsu

Magma chamber dynamics and pluton construction. 

( 英文 ). Kamiyama, H; Nakajima, T; 

Kamioka, H. Journal of Geology, 2007, 

115(3): 295-314 

The steeply tilted Tottabetsu plutonic complex 

(TPC) provides an exceptional crosssectional 

view of a frozen felsic magma 

chamber. The entire pluton is apparently cylindrical 

in shape, but the active magma 

chamber at any one time was much thinner, 

tabular in shape. The pluton is stratified, with 

a topmost granitic unit ( zone III), an underlying 

dioritic unit ( zone II), and a lowermost 

gabbroic unit ( zone I). Field, petrographic, 

and geochemical data suggest that zones I and 

II developed at the aggrading floor of a felsic 

magma chamber. Only part of zone III appears 

to have crystallized from the roof. Successive 

stoping events, recorded as included countryrock 

blocks in zones I and II, apparently prohibited 

growth of the roof solidification zone. 

The complex record of hotter replenishments 

and fractional crystallization is preserved in 

the stratigraphy of zones I and II as either alternating 

comagmatic sheets and cumulate 

layers or an upward fractionation trend with a 

major compositional reversal exhibited by the 

cumulates. The magmas injected during the 

development of zone I were basalts to basaltic 

andesites, while those injected during the development 

of zone II were andesites to dacites. 

The overall compositional difference between 

zones I and II is essentially attributed to the 

compositional difference of the injected magmas. 

By contrast, zone III comprises monotonous 

granites whose geochemical variation 

suggests that they represent mixtures of fractionates 

complementary to the cumulates 

formed from both the resident felsic magma 

and the recharged intermediate magma. Buoyant 

fractionates released from the crystallizing 

recharge magma presumably rose as plumes 

and mixed with the resident magma. Thus, the 

TPC reveals the protracted history of pluton 

construction from a long-lasting, melt-rich 

magma chamber.

We examine the Pleistocene tectonic reorganization 

of the Pacific-North American 

plate boundary in the Salton Trough of southern 

California with an integrated approach that 

includes basin analysis, magnetostratigraphy, 

and geologic mapping of upper Pliocene to 

Pleistocene sedimentary rocks in the San 

Felipe Hills. These deposits preserve the earli- 

161

est sedimentary record of movement on the 

San Felipe and San Jacinto fault zones that 

replaced and deactivated the late Cenozoic 

West Salton detachment fault. Sandstone and 

mudstone of the Brawley Formation accumulated 

between similar to 1.1 and similar to 0.6- 

0.5 Ma in a delta on the margin of an arid 

Pleistocene lake, which received sediment 

from alluvial fans of the Ocotillo Formation to 

the west-southwest. Our analysis indicates that 

the Ocotillo and Brawley formations prograded 

abruptly to the east-northeast across a 

former mud-dominated perennial lake (Borrego 

Formation) at similar to 1.1 Ma in response 

to initiation of the dextral-oblique San 

Felipe fault zone. The similar to 25-km-long 

San Felipe anticline initiated at about the same 

time and produced an intrabasinal basementcored 

high within the San Felipe-Borrego basin 

that is recorded by progressive unconformities 

on its north and south limbs. A disconformity 

at the base of the Brawley Formation 

in the eastern San Felipe Hills probably records 

initiation and early blind slip at the 

southeast tip of the Clark strand of the San 

Jacinto fault zone. Our data are consistent 

with abrupt and nearly synchronous inception 

of the San Jacinto and San Felipe fault zones 

southwest of the southern San Andreas fault in 

the early Pleistocene during a pronounced 

southwestward broadening of the San Andreas 

fault zone. The current contractional geometry 

of the San Jacinto fault zone developed after 

similar to 0.5-0.6 Ma during a second, less 

significant change in structural style.

The use of rocky palaeoshore bioerosion 

analysis as a tool to solve stratigraphic and 

tectonic issues is beginning to bear fruits. The 

occurrence of an extensive intra-Miocene marine 

abrasion platform in southern Portugal at 

Oura (Albufeira) has been identified on the 

basis of bioerosion trace fossils analysis. The 

observed ichnodiversity is rather low, with 

bivalve boring Gastrochaenolites being dominant. 

Nevertheless, the ichnoassemblage may 

be assigned to the Entobia ichnofacies. The 

palaeoichnological study of the Oura 

hardground confirmed the existence of an important 

intra-Miocene stratigraphic gap (ca. 3 

Ma hiatus), represented by a razor-sharp erosional 

contact that separates the two main 

Neogene units in the Algarvian region: the 

lower carbonate sequence of Lagos–Portimão 

Formation (Langhian/Serravallian) and the 

upper siliciclastic sequence of the Cacela

Conventional Optically Stimulated Luminescence 

(OSL) dating using the equivalent 

dose distributions of 8 mm aliquots have been 

extended to key stratigraphical sites in southernmost 

Sweden and the island of Bornholm. 

The objective has been to bridge the lack of an 

independent chronology, which might catalyze 

a new understanding of the ice flow patterns 

related to the initiation of the Last Glacial 

Maximum, and the stratigraphical development 

during the deglaciation sequence. Sediments 

from proximal environments are usually 

10-15 kyr older than expected from regional 

stratigraphical correlations and radiocarbon 

dates of mammoth tusks. We propose that 

OSL signals are inherited from reworked 

sediments that were sufficiently bleached prior 

to glacial or glaciofluvial transportation and 

deposition. Sediments from distal and beach 

environments seem to indicate proper depositional 

ages. Thus, the main Weichselian stadial 

was preceded by almost 20 kyr of ice free 

conditions, succeeded by an ice advance from 

south-southeast before northeasterly ice flow 

163

predominated. Major inconsistencies still exists 

for the final deglaciation. Two distinct 

environmental reconstructions of the uppermost 

diamict at two separate sites, both superimposed 

on a periglacial surface, predict either 

deposition during subaquatic conditions associated 

with drifting icebergs after 16 kyr or 

subglacial sedimentation associated with an 

ice advance in Oresund. It remains unsolved 

whether the periglacial surface at the two sites 

can be correlated or if they represent two different 

stratigraphical levels. In perspective, the 

introduction of OSL dates in Skane has identified 

the periglacial marker horizon or horizons 

as targets for future intensive dating.

( 英文 ). Sandgren P; Subetto D A; Berglund B

126(4): 363-380 

The mid-Holocene Littorina Sea transgression 

has been studied in sediment cores from 

four coastal lakes in NW Russia. The basins 

are situated in the same drainage system at 

elevations from 6.9 to 9.2 m a.s.l. Complementary 

parameters have been applied to identify 

water-level changes. Chronological models 

are based on AMS radiocarbon dating of 

bulk sediments but also wood remains and 

moss sedge peat has been dated in a few cases. 

All radiocarbon ages have been calibrated to 

calendar years BP (cal. BP). Between 8000 

and 6000 cal. BP the present-day lakes were in 

contact with the Littorina Sea and brackish 

conditions prevailed. The water level was 

higher than 6 m a.s.l. clearly documented in 

all four basins. A peak reaching above the 

level of the uppermost lake (9.2 m a.s.l.) has 

been dated to ca. 7500 cal. BP. During the 

high level phase a short lived regress 

ion/transgression is recognized in all but the 

uppermost basin. This minor water level fluctuation 

lasted for a few hundred years around 

7000 cal. BP. It is reflected in various parameters 

in the different basins. Correlations are 

made with recent studies from Blekinge in 

southeastern Sweden situated at the 10 m Littorina 

isobase as the present investigation area. 

The parallel Littorina Sea history in these two 

areas seems to confirm a multi-transgression 

pattern across the southern Baltic Sea.

processes in the shaping of fossil bone 

assemblages: an example from the Late Miocene, 

Bahe Formation, Lantian, China. ( 英文 ). 

Andersson K; Kaakinen A. GFF, 2004, 126(3): 

279-287 

Vertebrate remains are frequently preserved 

and recovered from floodplain deposits. The 

composition of such fossil assemblages is expected 

to vary considerably with the processes 

active during and after deposition. In this paper, 

vertebrate fossil assemblages from three 

separate localities (Late Miocene, Bahe Formation, 

Lantian County, Shaanxi, China) were 

studied to assess how fluvial processes may 

have influenced the shaping of these. Although, 

the three localities represent floodplain 

deposits, all were formed in different 

fluvial subfacies. The localities were logged in 

detail and the degree of surface exposure of 

the collected specimens was determined 

through analysis of their stage of weathering. 

Combining these data, the following interpretation 

was made: Locality 31 represents a crevasse 

splay, an avulsion that instantaneously 

buried a group of animals. Locality 6 was 

formed on an overbank area during repeated, 

unchannelised flooding. This assemblage 

represents an attritional accumulation, ranging 

from fresh to reworked remains, accumulated 

during several events representing a long time 

period. Locality 42 represents a bone accumulation 

laid down in a topographic depression. 

The bulk of this ass,assemblage is likely to 

represent remains accumulated over a very 

short time period, along with some reworked 

remains. The assemblages analysed were all 

formed in non-exceptional floodplain subfacies, 

representing a wide range of time periods 

ranging from instantaneous catastrophic 

events to long periods of lime. This work provides 

a context for the these remains and contributes 

to the understanding of the events that 

gave rise to vertebrate fossil assemblages in 

the Bahe Formation and fossil accumulations 

in floodplain environments in general.

The mid-Holocene Littorina transgression 

in southern Scandinavia is well documented. 

Multiple-stratigraphic sequences in ancient 

Littorina lagoons in the coastal area of 

Blekinge, SE Sweden reveal a maximum relative 

sea level of 7-8 m above present sea level 

between 8000-6000 cal. BP. Evidence for at 

least two transgression waves is found within 

this period. In this study these are documented 

in one modern lake and correlated with an ancient 

beach-lagoon stratigraphy. Furthermore, 

two younger transgressions are documented at 

one site, altogether establishing a firm transgression 

chronology for the time span 8000- 

4000 cal. BP (sea level 5-8 m a.s.l.) as a basis 

for understanding the dynamics of Baltic sealevel 

changes. Neolithic cultural layers are 

correlated to regression periods, indicating 

more favorable conditions for beach settlement 

between stormy transgression periods.

Sediment lithology, lithofacies relationships, 

palynological and diatom analysis indicate 

that two drill cores extracted from ancient valleys 

of the Juminda Peninsula, north Estonia, 

represent a previously undetected interglacial 

sedimentary sequence sandwiched between 

the Middle and Late Pleistocene glacigenic 

deposits. Four different coloured major lithofacies 

associations (units), representing two 

glacigenic cycles, and deposits with the Late 

Saalian pollen assemblages zone (LS1), the 

uppermost Eemian (E9), and Early Weichselian 

pollen zone (EW) were distinguished at 

the section. The bottommost depositional unit 

consists of brownish coloured clay, diamicton 

and gravel beds. The second depositional unit, 

correlative to the Eemian Interglacial, consists 

of a black organic-rich palaeosoil and stratified 

sand. A thick grey coloured bed of massive 

and partly stratified Weichselian diamicton, 

sand, clay and silt comprises the third unit, 

and the fourth, the topmost depositional unit, 

consists of yellowish grey sands and silts of 

the Baltic Sea.

瑞典最南部威赫塞尔晚期 Low Baltic 的冰 

进和冰退回顾 = Readvance and retreat of the 

Late Weichselian Low Baltic ice stream in 

southernmost Sweden - a review. ( 英文 ). 

Ringberg B. GFF, 2003, 125(3): 169-176 

The aim of this study was to review old and 

new evidence for the readvance and retreat of 

the Low Baltic ice stream. The review is based 

partly on new field observations from southernmost 

Sweden and new dates relating to the 

marginals of the ice stream. The diamicton 

deposited by the Low Baltic ice stream is 

mainly a subglacial till (Malmo till) rich in 

clay and chalk. In addition, there are clasts 

and microfossils in the till derived from the 

bedrock in the Baltic area. This suggests that 

they were transported up to 700 km. The likelihood 

is that the ice moved upon a subglacial 

bed of mainly fine-grained, deformable sediments. 

It is also possible to think that the ice 

shut-down of the deforming bed-driven ice 

stream, was the result of sediment exhaustion. 

The sharp limits and low level of the Malmo 

till, and the sharp limit between an area of low 

relief hummocky moraine and an area of high 

relief hummocky landscape, are indicative of 

deposition from a lowland ice stream. The 

dating of the deglaciation of the Low Baltic 

ice stream shows that the ice stream existed 

approximately 18 000 to 14 600 calendar 

years BP. At the end of this period the first 

stage of the Baltic Ice Lake opened.

瑞典东南部 Karlskrona-Hultsfred 地区的 

成层粘土年代学 = Local clay-varve chronology 

in the Karlskrona-Hultsfred region, southeast 

Sweden. ( 英文 ). Ringberg B; Hang T; 

Kristiansson J. GFF, 2002, 124(2): 79-86 

A local varve chronology from southeast 

Sweden between the town of Karlskrona in the 

province of Blekinge and Hultsfred in the 

province of Smaland is presented. The chronology 

covers approximately 800 varve-years. 

The glaciolacustrine varves were deposited in 

the Baltic Ice Lake during the Late Weichselian 

deglaciation. The study includes 60 

connected and 56 unconnected varve series 

and shows that the ice recession rates vary 

between 75-125 m/year and 250-340 m/year 

in the southern and northern parts of the area, 

respectively. An abrupt change from thin to 

thick clay varves was found in the northern 

part of the area. The change has been correlated 

with a similar change of silty varves in 

the bottom bed of one of the delta plains close 

165

to the highest shoreline. This change in the 

meltwater deposition has been hypothetically 

correlated with the transition between the 

Older Dryas (GI-1d) and Allerod (GI-1c) 

chronozones, or around 13,750 GRIP years.

波罗的海北部哥特兰岛 - 希乌马岛地区基岩 

序列的结构和地形 = The structure and relief 

of the bedrock sequence in the Gotland- 

Hiiumaa area, northern Baltic Sea. ( 英文 ). 

Tuuling I; Floden T. GFF, 2001, 123(1): 35- 

49 

Based on high resolution seismic reflection 

profiling, structural and relief maps of the 

sedimentary bedrock between Gotland and 

Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea have been composed 

and analysed. The general structure and 

relief of the submarine Lower Palaeozoic succession 

reveal a westward extension of the 

homoclinal structure distinguished in the Estonian 

mainland, The main bedrock structures 

offshore are 1-4 km wide. and several tens of 

kilometres long, linear zones of disturbances. 

On the structural map, these disturbances appear 

as submeridional zones of contour 

changes, up to several tens of metres in offset. 

The seismic profiles usually reveal a faint 

flexure-like bending of the layers through the 

zone. Locally. this flexure can be intersected 

by small faults. These bedrock structures are 

ascribed to fault movements in the crystalline 

basement. Two different bedrock relief systems 

were superposed on the region during the 

Cenozoic uplift and the Pleistocene glaciations. 

The first event resulted in the formation of a 

subparallel cuesta-like system of alternating 

erosional scarps and plains. Glacial erosion 

created submeridional valleys and troughs. 

Today three large bedrock forms, namely the 

Baltic and the Silurian clints and the Ordovician 

plateau, characterize the area. The outlines 

of the cuesta relief, and the amount of 

eroded sediments, advocate a regional increase 

in erosional activity from the St. Petersburg 

district to the area of the Baltic- 

Bothnian mobile zone northeast of Gotland. 

This zone existed as a subsided meridional 

lower ground during the Cenozoic, accommodating 

a main river that collected water both 

from the craton margins and the inner platform 

areas.

M G; Olley J M; Payton R W. GFF, 1999, 

121(3): 198-201 

Two major colluvial deposits have been 

identified on the slopes of the Irangi Hills in 

north central Tanzania. The oldest of these 

occurs in shallow depressions on the pediment 

slopes. The time of deposition has been dated 

by the use of optical stimulated luminescence 

(OSL) dating techniques to Late Pleistocene. 

The OSL dates were 14,700+/-1600, 

14,200+/-1500, and 11,400+/-1300 years. In 

Late Pleistocene time the climate changed 

from dry to wet conditions throughout much 

of the tropics and this time period is frequently 

reported as a period characterised by 

enhanced soil erosion. It is likely that the older 

colluvial unit in the Irangi Hills was formed as 

a result of climatic change when rainfall increased 

ahead of a vegetation change and 

thereby provided conditions favourable for 

soil erosion. The younger colluvial unit 

yielded deposition ages of 400-600 years and 

is part of a number of successive erosion and 

deposition periods during the last millenium, 

probably as a result of anthropogenic impact 

on the landscape.

Image analysis is evaluated as a method to 

study the nature of the rhythmites in thick 

proximal varves in the bottom bed of the Bredakra 

glaciolacustrine delta, southeastern 

Sweden. The method used was greyscale and 

colour profiling on digital images. The greyscale 

curve reflects the relative grain size of 

the sediment and the results show that it is 

possible to graphically reproduce both the 

thickness variations of the rhythmites and the 

gradation between the different sublayers. 

Data confirm earlier field observations from 

the area that the rhyhmites in the proximal 

varves reflect the diurnal transportation in the 

meltwater streams. The mean value of six 

measured varves shows that the summer layers 

consist of c. 50 diurnal couplets. If the analysed 

laminae are formed of unmistakable diurnal 

couplers the duration of the intense melting 

period was c. 50 days during the Late 

Weichselian deglaciation of the Bolling 

Chronozone (G1-1e) in southeastern Sweden. 

Future work will show if the image analysis 

can be used to determine the duration of the 

intense melting periods regionally and in that 

connection also as a tool to determine the 

abrupt climate changes between the different 

chronozones during the Late Weichselian deglaciation.

168

A reinvestigation of a tufa deposit in Skane, 

including a number of biostratigraphical 

methods and chronology was carried out. The 

tufa was formed in a paludal environment during 

the time period c. 9,500 to 8,000 BP. This 

period is characterised by exceptional low 

lake levels and high summer temperatures in 

southern Sweden. This may suggest that optimal 

conditions for tufa formation at the site 

coincided with warm and dry climate conditions, 

a low groundwater table, and high 

evaporation. During periods with colder conditions 

and/or higher groundwater table pear 

was deposited. The changes in the local environment 

at and around the site were inferred 

from the biostratigraphical records of pollen, 

plant macrofossils, molluscs, and insects. The 

results demonstrate a development from a 

dwarf shrub tundra during the Late-glacial, 

which turned to an open birch/pine woodland 

around 10,000 BP. At c. 9,000 BP hazel and 

birch were probably the dominant tree species 

in the woodland. The mollusc record suggests 

that the woodland remained relatively open 

until c. 8,500 BP when tree taxa such as alder, 

oak and elm became established in the Fyledalen 

valley. The site remained a marsh 

throughout the studied period, however, the 

results indicate a succession of different marsh 

plant communities.

Pleistocene climatic patterns in the southern

Haselton K; Hilley G; Strecker M R. Journal 

of Geology, 2002, 110(2): 211-226 

Despite elevations of 5000-6800 m, modern 

glaciers occur along the southern Puna Plateau 

and the northern Sierras Pampeanas in the 

southern central Andes. The modern snowline 

rises from 5100 m in Sierra Aconquija to 5800 

m in the Puna as a result of a westward decrease 

in precipitation from 450 to less than 

100 mm/yr. During the Pleistocene these arid 

highlands experienced multiple cirque and 

valley glaciation that likely postdate the last 

interglacial period, although lack of age control 

prevents an absolute chronology. Glaciation 

in the Puna and along the eastern Puna 

edge produced a 300-m Pleistocene snowline 

(PSL) depression, while in the Sierras Pampeanas 

the PSL depression was at least 900 m. 

The greater PSL depression in the Sierras 

Pampeanas is best explained by a combination 

of cooling and increase of easterly moisture, 

whereas the PSL depression in the Puna appears 

more sensitive to moisture increases 

than temperature. Previously, glaciations in 

this region have been explained by increased 

precipitation, with a westward depression of 

the snowline caused by a northward shift of 

the Pacific anticyclone and equatorward shift 

of the westerlies. However, these PSL results 

require an increase of moisture from the east 

rather than from the west. Further, analysis of 

topographic data indicates that drainage-basin 

relief decreases north of 28degreesS. The regional 

landscape response suggests that the 

circulation patterns currently observed have 

persisted at least during the Pleistocene and 

perhaps during the past several million years.

The Upper Miocene of the southern North Sea 

Basin (northern Belgium): a palaeoenvironmental 

and stratigraphical reconstruction using 

dinoflagellate cysts. ( 英文 ). Louwye S; De 

Schepper S; Laga P; Vandenberghe N. Geological 

Magazine, 2007, 144(1): 33-52 

Organic-walled palynomorph assemblages 

from the Kasterlee Formation in northern Belgium 

provide new insights into the Late Miocene 

depositional history and palaeoenvironments 

of the southernmost North Sea Basin. 

Ranges of key dinoflagellate cysts constrain 

the unit between 7.5 and 5.32 Ma, that is, a 

latest Tortonian to Messinian age. The palynomorph 

assemblage is characterized, 

amongst others, by Geonettia clineae, an opportunistic 

species that thrives in mesotrophic, 

coastal embayments with a low sediment influx. 

This environmental setting is corroborated 

by the notable presence of Gramocysta 

verricula, a species with preference for shallow 

marine environments. The occurrence of 

species of the fresh water green alga Pediastrum 

indicates manifest river discharge in a 

near-shore environment or embayment. The 

coastal depositional environment mirrored by 

the palynomorphs of the Kasterlee Formation 

succeeds the distinct transgressive and fully 

marine environments of the underlying Diest 

Formation in the Campine area. The results 

from the palynological study, combined with 

lithological and geophysical data, show that 

both Upper Miocene formations are two distinct 

depositional cycles separated by an erosional 

or regressive phase. The upper boundary 

of the Kasterlee Formation is correlated 

169

with the Me2 sequence boundary at 5.73 Ma. 

The Kasterlee Formation is herein formally 

moved from the Lower Pliocene series to the 

Upper Miocene series. The coastal environment, 

probably characterized by a shoaling 

phase, recorded at the border of the southern 

North Sea Basin, matches the global record of 

regressive phases in Messinian sedimentary 

sequences, which are linked to cooling and 

increasing global ice volume.

Magazine, 2006, 143(2): 165-179 

The elastic sequence of the Ergiliin Zoo 

Formation stretches along the Mongolian- 

Chinese border in the southern Gobi Desert, 

Mongolia. Its members (Sevkhuul, Ergil) exposed 

in the Erdene Sum region are well 

known for their vertebrate remains of Late 

Eocene and Oligocene age. Based upon field 

work, the continental red beds were subdivided 

into four units described as (I) 

prodelta/mud-sand flat, (II) delta front, (III) 

delta plain and (IV) calcretes. All subenvironments 

are in a fluvial-lacustrine setting. 

Electronmicroprobe analysis, in addition to 

conventional thin-section examination, was 

applied to shed some light on the complex 

mineral association made up of light minerals 

(quartz, plagioclase, ternary feldspar, orthoclase, 

smectite, illite, rare palygorskite), heavy 

minerals (almandine-pyrope solid solution 

series, zoisite-epidote s.s.s.) and abundant 

goethite and carbonate minerals (calcite, 

dolomite). Igneous rocks being exposed in the 

source area have contributed to the formation 

of carbonate minerals and Mg-bearing sheet 

silicates during diagenesis. Higher up on the 

delta plain transitional between distal alluvial 

and deltaic deposits, fluids emerged from the 

distal alluvial-fluvial deposits and formed calcareous 

duricrusts. Drawing conclusions from 

the rock colour, the mineral assemblage and 

the palaeoecological data, the climatic conditions 

may be described as alternating wet and 

dry seasons, closely resembling those conditions 

of a modern savannah.

全新世泥质沉积的 Rb-Sr 系统学以及它们

Holocene pelitic sediments and their bearing 

on whole-rock dating. ( 英文 ). Cordani U G; 

Mizusaki A M; Kawashita K; Thomaz-Filho 

A. Geological Magazine, 2004, 141(2): 233- 

244 

In many cases, when dealing with argillaceous 

fine-grained sedimentary rocks, the isotopic 

ages obtained from Rb-Sr whole-rock 

isochron calculations are of geological significance, 

despite the fact that the initial conditions 

of Sr isotopic homogenization are not 

fulfilled. To explain this, a mechanical mixing 

during deposition has been suggested, leading 

to an aggregate of mixed material with fairly 

uniform Sr-87/Sr-86 values, whatever Rb/Sr 

ratio is found in the analysed samples. This 

investigation of the behaviour of Rb and Sr 

during sedimentation and early diagenesis, 

involves study of more than 60 samples of 

fine-grained recent sediments from selected 

coastal localities of Brazil. The results indicate 

that pelitic samples from some recent to present-day 

transitional or shallow marine environments, 

such as the Jacarepagua tidal flat 

and the Amazonas River mouth, where halmirolysis 

could have occurred, may produce 

nearly horizontal best-fit lines in a Rb-Sr 

isochron diagram. Moreover, the initial isotopic 

Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios appear to be well 

above 0.710. In open marine environments, 

such as the Campos Basin, where sampling 

was spread over more than 100 metres, exchanges 

between the argillaceous sediments 

and seawater potentially happen at low temperature, 

inducing a reduction of the Sr-87/Sr- 

86 isotopic composition of the sediments to 

nearly 0.710. An almost horizontal best-fit 

line is produced for the entire stratigraphic 

section, independent of the sedimentation age. 

We believe that in similar environments such 

'zero age isochrons' are maintained for some 

time, testifying to exchanges between the 

sediment and the interstitial fluids, before the 

onset of burial diagenesis. The above described 

studies on fine-grained and recent argillaceous 

sediments seem to confirm the production 

of horizontal best-fit lines in isochron 

diagrams, justifying the application of the Rb- 

Sr whole-rock method to pelitic sedimentary 

rocks. The nature of the material is critical. 

The pelitic sediments to be analysed should 

contain only very limited amounts of coarse 

clastic material (especially feldspars and mica 

fragments) and consist mainly of fine clay 

170

minerals in which smectites, illite and mixed 

layers illite-smectite largely predominate.

A little before 4 Ma ago, deposition of Pliocene 

and Pleistocene strata described as the 

Omo Group began in the Turkana and Omo 

basins of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. 

Soon after, basaltic magma erupted as thin 

lava flows, and intruded as dykes into the oldest 

Pliocene strata of the basin. These flows 

and intrusions are similar petrographically and 

geochemically, and mark a basaltic magmatic 

event spanning latitudes from 2degrees45'N to 

6degrees45'N at a longitude of about 

36degrees E. By 3.94 Ma, this basaltic magmatic 

activity had ceased. Previous researchers 

used these lavas as an important seismic 

marker in their study of the southern part of 

the Turkana Basin. Subsequent volcanic eruptions 

formed North, Central and South islands 

in Lake Turkana, and the Korath Range in 

southern Ethiopia. Thus there was a hiatus in 

basaltic magmatic activity of nearly 4 Ma in 

the area presently occupied by Lake Turkana 

and the lower Omo Valley, although volcanism 

continued on the eastern margin of the 

basin. Here we review the field occurrences of 

these basalts, their distinctive petrography, 

composition, age and significance to Pliocene 

deposition in the basin.

日本西南部中新世中期一个海底火山 - 深成 

岩混合体的 K-Ar 地质年代学 = K-Ar geochronology 

of a middle Miocene submarine 

volcano-plutonic complex in southwest Japan. 

( 英文 ). Imaoka T; Itaya T. Geological Magazine, 

2004, 141(1): 1-13 

A volcano-plutonic complex in the Susa 

area, southwest Japan, consists of the Yamashima 

andesites, the Koyama gabbros and synplutonic 

porphyrite dykes derived from a 

common basaltic andesite magma. The complex 

is closely associated with middle Miocene 

turbidite deposits. The Yamashima andesites 

are composed mainly of basaltic andesite 

feeder dykes, massive submarine lavas with 

hyaloclastites, and their reworked deposits. 

The lavas and deposits immediately overlie 

turbidite deposits indicating submarine volcanic 

activity. The Koyama gabbros formed 

hornfels by contact metamorphism of the surrounding 

turbidites and andesites. Highly purified 

clinopyroxene and plagioclase mineral 

separates from the Yamashima andesites were 

dated by a K-Ar method using an ultra-low 

blank K analysis procedure. Ages obtained 

from duplicate analyses are 16.5 +/- 1.5, 15.2 

+/- 1.4, 15.8 +/- 11.7, and 16.5 +/- 2.0 Ma for 

clinopyroxene, and 14.2 +/- 0.8, 15.2 +/- 10.9, 

and 15.6 +/- 0.9 Ma for plagioclase. The clinopyroxene 

and plagioclase data define a 

mineral isochron age of 14.7 +/- 0.9 (1sigma) 

Ma with an initial Ar-40/Ar-36 ratio of 297.3 

+/- 2.4 (1sigma), suggesting that clinopyroxene 

has no excess argon and can be reliably 

dated by K-Ar. Most of the groundmass ages 

are considerably younger (12.1-14.6) than the 

isochron age, perhaps due to argon loss during 

alteration. The gabbros give ages of 14.2 +/- 

0.3 and 14.1 +/- 0.3 Ma for biotite, and 13.7 

+/- 0.3 and 13.7 +/- 0.7 Ma for green hornblende. 

The porphyrite dyke yields an age of 

12.5 +/- 0.3 Ma for the groundmass, and the 

pelitic hornfels gives a biotite age of 14.8 +/- 

0.3 Ma. Our new K-Ar ages, together with 

previous studies, show that a series of geological 

events took place in the Susa area between 

16 and 13 Ma. Conglomerates and 

sandstones were deposited in the beginning of 

marine transgression. Subsequent abrupt 

deepening led to deposition of a thick black 

shale unit, turbidite deposits and large-scale 

submarine channel-fill deposits. Coeval igneous 

activity formed the volcano-plutonic complex. 

The magmato-tectonic event was synchronous 

with the opening of the Japan Sea 

and the associated clockwise rotation of the 

southwest Japan are sliver, recording a unique 

tectonic setting.

第四纪碰撞后火山作用的成岩模型 : 安纳 

托利亚中部和东部的一个研究实例 = Petrogenetic 

modelling of Quaternary postcollisional 

volcanism: a case study of central 

and eastern Anatolia. ( 英文 ). Sen P A; Temel 

A; Gourgaud A. Geological Magazine, 2004, 

141(1): 81-98 

Extensive continental collision-related volcanism 

occurred in Turkey during Neogene- 

Quaternary times. In central Anatolia, calcalkaline 

to alkaline volcanism began in the 

Middle-Late Miocene. Here we report trace 

elemental and isotopic data from Quaternary 

171

age samples from central and eastern Anatolia. 

Most mafic lavas from central Anatolia are 

basalt and basaltic andesite, with lesser 

amounts of basaltic trachyandesite and andesite. 

All magma types exhibit enrichment in 

LILE (Sr, Rb, Ba and Pb) relative to HFSE 

(Nb, Ta). Trace element patterns are characteristic 

of continental margin volcanism with 

high Ba/Nb and Th/Nb ratios. Sr-87/Sr-86 and 

Nd-143/Nd-144 isotopic ratios of central Anatolian 

lavas range between 0.704105-0.705619 

and 0.512604-0.512849, respectively. The 

Quaternary alkaline volcanism of eastern Anatolia 

has been closely linked to the collision 

between the Arabian and Eurasian plates. Karacadag 

and Tendurek volcanic rocks are represented 

by alkali basalts and basaltic trachyandesites, 

respectively. As expected from their 

alkaline nature, they contain high abundances 

of LIL elements, but Tendurek lavas also 

show depletion in Nb and Ta, indicating the 

role of crustal contamination in the evolution 

of these magmas. Sr-87/Sr-86 and Nd- 

143/Nd-144 ratios of the Karacadag and Tendurek 

lavas range from 0.703512 to 0.704466; 

0.512742 to 0.512883 and 0.705743 to 

0.705889 and 0.512676, respectively. Petrogenetic 

modelling has been used to constrain 

source characteristics for the central and eastern 

Anatolian volcanic rocks. Trace element 

ratio plots and REE modelling indicate that 

the central Anatolian volcanism was generated 

from a lithospheric mantle source that recorded 

the previous subduction events between 

Afro-Arabian and Eurasian plates during 

Eocene to Miocene times. In contrast, The 

Karacadag alkaline basaltic volcanism on the 

Arabian foreland is derived from an OIB-like 

mantle source with limited crustal contamination. 

Tendurek volcanism, located on thickened 

crust, north of the Bitlis thrust zone, derived 

from the lithospheric mantle via small 

degrees (1.5%) of partial melting.

Late Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath the 

North China Craton: evidence from Sr-Nd-Pb 

isotopic systematics of mafic igneous rocks. 

( 英文 ). Zhang H F; Sun M; Zhou M F; Fan W 

M; Zhou X H; Zhai M G. Geological Magazine, 

2004, 141(1): 55-62 

The lithospheric mantle beneath the North 

China Craton changed dramatically in its geophysical 

and geochemical characteristics from 

Palaeozoic to Cenozoic times. This study uses 

samples of Mesozoic basalts and mafic intrusions 

from the North China Craton to investigate 

the nature of this mantle in Mesozoic 

times. Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic data demonstrate that 

the Late Mesozoic lithospheric mantle was 

extremely heterogeneous. In the central craton 

or the Luzhong region, it is slightly Sr-Nd isotopically 

enriched, beneath the Taihangshan 

region it has an EM1 character (Sr-87/(86)Sri 

= 0.7050-0.7066; epsilon(Nd(t)) = -17- -10), 

and beneath the Luxi-haodong region, it possesses 

EM2-like characteristics (Sr-87/(86)Sri 

up to 0.7114). Compositional variation with 

time is also apparent in the Mesozoic lithospheric 

mantle. Our data suggest that the old 

lithospheric mantle was modified during 

Mesozoic times by a silicic melt, where beneath 

the Luxi-Jiaodong region it was severely 

modified, but in the Luzhong and Taihangshan 

regions the effects were much less marked. 

The silicic melt may have been the product of 

partial melting of crustal materials brought 

into the mantle by the subducted slab during 

the formation of circum-cratonic orogenic 

belts. This Mesozoic mantle did not survive 

for a long time, and was replaced by a Cenozoic 

mantle with depleted geochemical characteristics.

succession of southeast Tenerife, Canary Islands: 

explosive eruptions, related caldera

Brown R J; Barry T L; Branney M J; Pringle 

M S; Bryan S E. Geological Magazine, 2003, 

140(3): 265-288 

A much-revised Quaternary stratigraphy is 

presented for ignimbrites and pumice fall deposits 

of the Bandas del Sur, in southern Tenerife. 

New Ar-41/Ar-39 data obtained for the 

Arico, Granadilla, Fasnia, Poris, La Caleta and 

Abrigo formations are presented, allowing 

correlation with previously dated offshore marine 

ashfall layers and volcaniclastic sediments. 

We also provide a minimum age of 287 

+/- 7 ka for a major sector collapse event at 

the Gaimar valley. The Bandas del Sur succession 

includes more than seven widespread 

ignimbrite sheets that have similar characteristics, 

including widespread basal Plinian layers, 

predominantly phonolite composition, ignimbrites 

with similar extensive geographic distributions, 

thin condensed veneers with abun- 

172

dant diffuse bedding and complex lateral and 

vertical grading patterns, lateral gradations 

into localized massive facies within palaeowadis, 

and widespread lithic breccia layers 

that probably record caldera-forming eruptions. 

Each ignimbrite sheet records substantial 

bypassing of pyroclastic material into the 

ocean. The succession indicates that Las 

Canadas volcano underwent a series of major 

explosive eruptions, each starting with a 

Plinian phase followed by emplacement of 

ignimbrites and thin ash layers, some of coignimbrite 

origin. Several of the ignimbrite 

sheets are compositionally zoned and contain 

subordinate mafic pumices and banded pumices 

indicative of magma mingling immediately 

prior to eruption. Because passage of 

each pyroclastic density current was characterized 

by phases of non-deposition and erosion, 

the entire course of each eruption is incompletely 

recorded at any one location, accounting 

for some previously perceived differences 

between the units. Because each current 

passed into the ocean, estimating eruption 

volumes is virtually impossible. Nevertheless, 

the consistent widespread distributions and the 

presence of lithic breccias within most of the 

ignimbrite sheets suggest that at least seven 

caldera collapse eruptions are recorded in the 

Bandas del Sur succession and probably 

formed a complex, nested collapse structure. 

Detailed field relationships show that extensive 

ignimbrite sheets (e.g. the Arico, Poris 

and La Caleta formations) relate to previously 

unrecognized caldera collapse events. We envisage 

that the evolution of the nested Las Cahadas 

caldera is more complex than previously 

thought and involved a protracted history 

of successive ignimbrite-related caldera 

collapse events, and large sector collapse 

events, interspersed with edifice-building 

phases.

南极洲 James Ross 岛中新世 - 上新世冰海 

沉积的年代和环境 = Age and environment 

of Miocene-Pliocene glaciomarine deposits, 

James Ross Island, Antarctica. ( 英文 ). Jonkers 

H A; Lirio J M; Del Valle R A; Kelley S P. 


Knowledge of the late Miocene-Pliocene 

climate of West Antarctica, recorded by sedimentary 

units within the James Ross Island 

Volcanic Group, is still fragmentary. Late 

Miocene glacio-marine deposits at the base of 

the group in eastern James Ross Island (Hobbs 

Glacier Formation) and Late Pliocene (3 Ma) 

interglacial strata at its local top on Cockburn 

Island (Cockburn Island Formation) have been 

studied extensively, but other Neogene sedimentary 

rocks on James Ross Island have thus 

far not been considered in great detail. Here, 

we document two further occurrences of glaciomarine 

strata, included in an expanded 

Hobbs Glacier Formation, which demonstrate 

the stratigraphic complexity of the James Ross 

Island Volcanic Group: reworked diamictites 

intercalated within the volcanic sequence at 

Fiordo Belen, northern James Ross Island, are 

dated by Ar-40/Ar-39 and Sr-87/Sr-86 at c. 7 

Ma (Late Miocene), but massive diamictites 

which underlie volcanic rocks near Cape Gage, 

oil eastern James Ross Island, yielded an Ar- 

Ar age of < 3.1 Ma (Late Pliocene). These age 

assignments are confirmed by benthic foraminiferal 

index species of the genus Ammoelphidiella. 

The geological setting and 

Cassididina-dominated foraminiferal biofacies 

of the rocks at Fiordo Belen suggest deposition 

in water depths of 150-200 m. The 

periglacial deposits and waterlain tills at Cape 

Gage were deposited at shallower depths (< 

100 in), as indicated by all abundance of the 

pectinid bivalve 'Zygochlamys' anderssoni and 

the epibiotic foram Cibicides lobatulus. Macrofaunal 

and foraminiferal biofacies of glaciomarine 

and interglacial deposits share 

many similarities, which suggests that temperature 

is not the dominant factor in the distribution 

of late Neogene Antarctic biota. Approximately 

10 m.y. of Miocene-Pliocene climatic 

record is preserved within the rock sequence 

of the James Ross Island Volcanic 

Group. Prevailing glacial conditions were 

punctuated by interglacial conditions around 3 

Ma.

Taurus 高山 ( 土耳其南部 ) 一中新世盆地 

的古环境分析及其古地理和构造意义 = Palaeoenvironmental 

analysis of a Miocene basin 

in the high Taurus Mountains (southern 

Turkey) and its palaeogeographical and structural 

significance. ( 英文 ). Ocakoglu F. Geological 

Magazine, 2002, 139(4): 473-487 

Determination of the relationships between 

the southern, marine-dominated Miocene basins 

of south central Turkey and their continental 

hinterland in southern Turkey has traditionally 

been frustrated by the apparent absence 

of basin remnants within the Taurus 

Mountains. The Dikme basin, which seems to 

be an enclave of basin remnants within the 

Aladag Mountains (Eastern Taurides), consists 

173

mainly of coarse-grained continental sediments 

of various facies. These mostly earlymiddle 

Miocene sediments were studied to 

determine the depositional environments and 

the factors controlling the basin formation and 

basin fill architecture, to attempt to close the 

information gap between the Adana Basin to 

the south and central Anatolian Miocene further 

to the north. A generally southwestflowing 

axial fluvial system and interfingering 

coarse-grained marginal alluvial clastics derived 

from northwest and southeast were identified. 

The marginal facies to the northwest is 

bounded by a N 55degrees E-running structural 

lineament, that starts from the Ecemis 

Fault Zone and in digital elevation models 

extends toward the north of the study area. 

Along this lineament, Miocene sediments 

onlap steep fault-line escarpments. Certain 

Miocene levels are tectonically disrupted, and 

an intraformational unconformity and boulder 

conglomerates are also well-developed in the 

Miocene sequence. The southeast boundary is 

similarly defined by a NE-trending fault that 

periodically elevated the adjacent Tufanbeyli 

autochthon, producing coarse clastics from 

this area. This boundary fault also induced 

fining-upwards vertical patterns and synsedimentary 

deformation in the marginal facies. 

Additionally, the central part of the basin exhibits 

a distinct fault-defined morphology 

characterized by small-scale (tens of metres to 

150 in high) valley-and-sill topography. A thin 

marine interval was also encountered in the 

southernmost part of the basin, indicating that 

the clastic system originating around this area 

debouched into a Miocene sea situated further 

to the south. The proposed palaeo-geography 

and basin fill model suggests that the Dikme 

basin and similar Miocene remnants, all controlled 

mainly by a northeast-running extensional 

or transtensional fault system, may have 

been parts of the terrestrial hinterland that 

supplied sediment to rapidly subsiding marine 

areas further south, such as the Adana Basin.

area: a new perspective. ( 英文 ). Sharma S; 

Sharma M; Singh I B. Geological Magazine, 

2001, 138(4): 455-470 

The Lower Siwalik succession of the 

Jammu area has been distinguished into three 

major lithofacies associations: a sanddominant 

association, a sandy-mud-dominant 

association, and a siltyheterolithic association. 

The sand-dominant association is made up of 

three lithofacies: cross-bedded sandstone. rippled 

silty sandstone and bioturbated sandy 

siltstone, which are organized in multistoreyed 

sandbodies representing deposition in major 

river channels. The sandy-mud-dominant association 

is made up of two lithofacies, mottled 

clayey siltstone and interbedded sandstone, 

siltstone and mudstone, representing 

deposition in overbank areas of flood-plain 

and natural levee-crevasse splays. The sanddominant 

association and sandy-muddominant 

association are grouped together as 

a channel-related succession and are products 

of processes in the river channel. The siltyheterolithic 

association consists of four lithofacies: 

mottled siltstone, mottled silty sandstone, 

bedded calcrete and mottled mudstone. 

They are considered to be deposits of Doab 

(upland interfluve) areas operating independently 

of present-day major river channels. 

These deposits have been formed in minor 

channels. sloping surfaces, and takes and 

ponds of the interfluve regions. The cyclicity 

of both successions (channel-related and 

Doab-related) has been determined using a 

partial-independence statistical model.

Americana, 2008, (61): 143-150 

A sediment core was taken from the Hyde 

Park mastodon site in southeastern New York 

to determine the paleoenvironmental context 

of the skeleton. Visual inspection of core 

LP2A combined with measurements of grain 

size and of organic carbon and carbonate content 

reveal three distinct units in the core separated 

by two transitional zones. From bottom 

to top these units are: thinly bedded clayey silt 

(225-149 cm), mottled silty marl (138-86 cm), 

and peat (76-0 cm). Heavy mineral analyses 

reveal that framboidal pyrite is the dominant 

opaque mineral in the clayey silt, suggesting a 

reducing environment that could have been 

responsible for the preservation of the bedding. 

Magnetite dominates the silty marl, indicative 

of greater oxygenation. Taken together, the 

sedimentological and mineralogical analyses 

174

of core LP2A suggest evolution of an oxbow 

pond.

associated plant macrofossils. ( 英文 ). Miller 

Norton G. Palaeontographica Americana, 

2008, (61): 151-181 

Abundant and diverse plant macrofossils 

were recovered from a stratigraphic series of 

sediments in a small (40 x 28 m) wetland basin 

during excavation of a mastodon skeleton. 

Topographic and other evidence indicate that 

the basin originated during deglaciation as a 

channel oxbow pond (now abandoned) of a 

nearby extant stream. From ca. 13,000 to ca. 

12,200 C-14 yr BP (ca. 15,000 to ca. 14,000 

cal yr BP), silt and other mineral clasts were 

deposited in the pond, probably intermittently, 

by stream flow. As the basin became isolated 

from the stream, the mode of in-filling 

changed to in situ marly peat and then detrital 

peat deposition. The fossil assemblage in the 

basal silt was dominated by seeds and leaves 

of arctic-alpine plants, indicating open ground 

and cold temperatures. Assemblages did not 

vary within the Tundra Zone and provide no 

evidence of temperature fluctuations during 

time representing Greenland (Isotope) Interstadial 

1, i.e., the interstadial before the 

"Younger Dryas" cold period. Fossils of Saxifraga 

flagellaris Willdenow, a plant now restricted 

in eastern North America to the High 

Arctic (above 74 degrees N latitude), suggests 

that permafrost was present. Fossils of tundra 

plants were replaced abruptly by spruce needles 

and other fossils documenting the establishment 

of white spruce then white sprucebalsam 

fir-tamarack forest on surfaces above 

the basin and emergent and rooted floating 

aquatics in it. Fruits of Urtica dioica Linnaeus 

sensu lato and seeds of Chenopodium simplex 

(Torrey) Rafinesque indicate that the forest 

canopy was open. A cone scale of balsam fir 

from near the top of the section was dated at 

11,230 +/- 50 C-14 yr BP (13,238-13,020 cal 

yr BP), establishing the local presence of reproductive 

populations of balsam fir just before 

the beginning Of the "Younger Dryas" 

interval, and supporting interpretations that 

increased balsam fir pollen percentages are 

characteristic of this cold temperature interval 

in southeastern New York and adjacent areas. 

Sediment younger than ca. 11,000 C-14 yr BP 

(ca. 13,000 cal yr BP) was not present in the 

sample series. The mastodon died in a shallow 

pond in which wetland and aquatic plants 

were abundant. Open white spruce-balsam firtamarack 

woodland occurred on the surrounding 

upland. The Hyde Park oxbow is the first 

depositional basin of this type to be investigated 

in the glaciated northeastern United 

States. Similar sites in other parts of glaciated 

eastern North America could prove equally 

informative paleoecologically, because they 

could contain records that supplement or differ 

from those in lake basins that are usually 

favored as study sites by Quaternary paleoecologists.

Use of sedimentary diatom assemblages to 

assess environmental changes during the Late 

Pleistocene at a mastodon site in Hyde Park, 

New York State. ( 英文 ). Sokal Michael A; 

Hall Roland I. Palaeontographica Americana, 

2008, (61): 189-195 

This Study assesses changes in environmental 

conditions of the mid-Hudson River 

Valley, New York State, from analyses of diatom 

assemblages (microscopic algae, Class 

Bacillariophyceae) preserved in a sediment 

core from an abandoned oxbow lake (Lozier 

Pond, Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New 

York) during the period ca. 15,000-9,000 C-14 

yr BP, when mastodons were abundant, to the 

time of their extinction. The analyses revealed 

that the diatom taxa dominating the assemblages 

are typical of late Pleistocene and early 

Holocene diatom communities seen in sediments 

of many lakes throughout temperate 

regions of North America. Diatom assemblages 

deposited during the earliest period (ca. 

15,000-12,400 C-14 yr BP) are marked by a 

lack of planktonic taxa and are dominated by 

small, benthic Fragilaria taxa. This is suggestive 

of a turbid, low-light, aquatic environment 

likely with low abundance of macrophytes 

fed by glacial meltwater or possibly a 

dilute, nutrient-poor lake as a result limited 

landscape development. At ca. 12,400 C-14 yr 

BP, Fragilaria taxa decrease and assemblages 

change to a more varied diatom flora with the 

introduction of numerous new epiphytic species 

including Amphora pediculus (Kutzing) 

Grunow, 1880, and Navicula diluviana 

Krasske, 1933, possibly indicating expansion 

of macrophyte beds. This flora existed for ca. 

1,700 yr until a major change occurred at ca. 

175

10,700 C-14 yr BE At this time, diatom assemblage 

composition shifted to dominance 

by N. diluviana (40-70%), with further decreases 

in relative abundance of Fragilaria 

taxa, possibly indicating a further expansion 

of macrophytes. The closest modern conditions 

that exhibit similar diatom assemblages 

are in small lakes in the high arctic and present-day 

periglacial environments, although 

assemblages similar to those dominated by N. 

diluviana, ca. 10,700-10,000 C-14 yr BP, occur 

in shallow, alkaline, macrophyte-rich lakes 

in northeastern North America.
