The significance of Cambro-Ordovician trilobites from the Kalladeina 1 drill hole,Warburton Basin,South Australia

The significance of trilobites described from six cores from the Kalladeina 1 drillhole from the Warburton Basin, northeastern South Australia is discussed. The oldest are from a dark grey shale of Core 16 from a depth of 3453.7–3455.8 m; they are of possible early Drumian (Cambrian Series 3, middle Cambrian) age. The youngest come from a dark grey shale of Core 4 at a depth of 2017.2–2022.04 m. This fauna contains the trilobites Asaphellus? sp., Yosimuraspis sp., Conophrys sp. and Protopliomerops? sp. thus indicating a Tremadoc (earliest Ordovician) age. These are the youngest known trilobites from the Warburton Basin and the youngest known in South Australia.     

西藏措勤盆地上侏罗统萨波直不勒组的发现及其烃源岩

措勤盆地东部班戈县保吉乡各昌茶玉地区发现晚侏罗世珊瑚化石约10属15种及未定种,分别为Actinaraea?sp.,Allocoenia?sp.,A.matheyi(Koby),Clausastraea?sp.,Hydnophora?sp.,Latiastraea minima(Koby),Latiastraea?sp.,Meandraraea?sp.,Stylosmilia crassitheca Liao et al Li,S.corallina Koby,Thamnasteria?sp.,T.concinna(Goldfuss),Thecosmilia.baojiensis sp.nov.,Thecosmilia?sp.,Trocharaea cf.patelliformis Gregory等。化石指示各昌茶玉剖面第1—41层地层时代为晚侏罗世牛津期—基默里奇期。珊瑚化石产出的层位原来被认为是混杂在中侏罗世蛇绿岩中的中二叠统下拉组,本文根据剖面中化石及岩性组合特点将其修订为上侏罗统萨波直不勒组,并得出了该地区不存在原来所认为的中二叠统下拉组与中侏罗统蛇绿岩构造混杂现象的认识。本次萨波直不勒组与改则县物玛乡抢古村建组剖面相对比,其岩性更细、灰岩夹层更多,珊瑚化石更为丰富,代表了更远离陆源碎屑源区的沉积环境,进一步证明晚侏罗世冈底斯地区地势是从北向南逐渐加深的,措勤盆地在晚侏罗世处于活动型深海-半深海相和上斜坡相的沉积环境中。保吉地区萨波直不勒组顶部存在上斜坡相68 m厚黑色泥页岩,TOC(总有机碳)平均值为0.83%,属于中等-好烃源岩,剖面第20层12 m厚黑色泥岩TOC值为0.65%,属于中等烃源岩。萨波直不勒组顶部为上斜坡相沉积,分布范围应该比上覆的吐卡日组更广泛。经计算,措勤盆地内萨波直不勒组烃源岩的生烃量约为44.373亿吨。萨波直不勒组的泥页岩为措勤盆地提供了充足的油源保障,同时其中的碳酸盐岩夹层也可能是油气有利储层,建议对上侏罗统萨波直不勒组开展钻探取样工作,获取更为翔实丰富的有机地球化学参数。     

西藏改则县玛米雪山北坡晚石炭世的腕足动物化石

本文报导了玛米雪山北坡的腕足动物化石。玛米雪山北坡含此化石的地层过去划归白垩系,腕足动物化石在此地的发现是第一次,它对于本区地层系统的建立及重建本区地质历史和古地理环境都有重要意义。 玛米雪山北坡腕足类化石、数量非常多,本文共描述了12个属15个种,其中新属1个,新种6个,它们是:Trichochonetes xizangensis sp.n.,Neo-chonetes gigantea sp. n.,Canorneilla semicircularis sp. n.,Ovatiamamixueshanensis sp. n.,Lissochonetes sp.,Marginifera sp.,Tib-etospirifer xizangensis gen.＆ sp. n.,T. mamixueshanensis sp.n.,Brachythyrina stranywaysi(Vern.),B.rectangula(Kut.),B.lataChao,Choristites cf. xianzaensis Yang,Neospirifer sp.,Punctos-pirifer sp.,Dielasma spp..并依据岩性和化石组合特征建立了一个新的地层单位—玛米雪山组,时代为晚石炭世。     

浙江长兴煤山地区二叠-三叠系界线底粘土中动物化石的发现及其意义

<正> 浙江长兴煤山地区是我国南部上二叠统长兴阶及二叠-三叠系界线候选层型剖面的所在地。近十年来,我们先后在本区测制了6条上二叠统长兴阶及二叠-三叠系界线剖面,即剖面A.B.C.D.E和Z(Sheng et al.,1984)把下三叠统下青龙组底部的混生动物群层自下而上分成混生层1、2和3三层,混生层1包括两部分,下部为伊利石-蒙脱石粘土层,亦称底粘土(basal clay),上部为黑色泥岩,当时没有在底粘土发现化石。此后,一     

论海南岛地区志留系

海南岛志留系以往被划分为上、中、下三个统。志留系之上是南好组 ,其层位以往被确定为下石炭统岩关阶 ,并认为它与其下的上志留统足赛岭组呈不整合接触。最近在南好组选层型剖面发现早志留世特里奇期晚期(L ate Telychian)的 Xinanospirifer腕足动物群和三叶虫 L atiproetus cf.latilimbatus (Grabau) ,重新论证了以往被确认为中志留统靠亲山组所产的腕足类、三叶虫和珊瑚化石其实都是特里奇期早至中期的分子。现在以无可争辩的事实证明了久归于下石炭统岩关阶南好组 ,以及其下的、以往被确定为上志留统足赛岭组、中志留统靠亲山组等所谓两个构造层的地层都应改归于下志留统 (L landovery Series)。北区下志留统仅有鲁丹期中期至爱隆期早期的黑色碳质页岩相和泥页岩相沉积 ,未发现任何大化石。南区下志留统发育较全 ,为细至中粗粒碎屑岩相夹碳酸盐岩相沉积 ,产丰富介壳相各门类化石 ;当时该区所生存的动物群与扬子区早志留世的关系非常密切 ,并在早志留世末期与扬子区大部分地区一样上升为陆 ,表明海南岛地区在当时属于扬子地台区范畴。

Cenomanian-Coniacian Sea-level Change and Dissolved Oxygen Fluctuations in Tethys-Himalaya: Evidences from Benthic Foraminifera of Gamba, Tibet

Benthic foraminifera, preserved in the Late Cretaceous organic carbon-rich sediments of Gamba, southern Tibet, provide high-resolution proxies for sea-level changes and dissolved oxygen fluctuations of southeastern Tethys. The fossils were statistically analyzed and divided into three faunas of "Cenomanian fauna", "Turonian fauna", and "Coniacian fauna". A middle neritic-upper bathal environment (50-250m) was estimated considering the ratios of planktonic and epifaunal benthic foraminifera (P/(P+E)), the morphological analysis according to the studies of recent foraminifera and the abundant distributions of depth-related species such as Alabamina creta, Laevidentalina sp., Praebulimina spp., Pleurostomella cf. naranjoensis, Pyrulina sp., Quinqueloculina spp., Haplophragmoides spp., etc. The result shows an almost parallel trend with the global transgressive and regressive cycles, but the former fluctuates more frequently at upper Cenomanian, which probably indicates tectonic instability of the continental margin. According to the benthic foraminiferal richness (BFN), Shannon-Weiner diversity (H(s)), as well as benthic foraminiferal oxygen index (BFOI), five periods of oxygen depleted conditions (dysoxic-anoxic) have been recognized. They correspond to the OAE2, the lower Turonian, the upper Turonian, the Turonian-Caniacian boundary event and the probably OAE3. In addition, the oxygen fluctuations in Gamba might be controlled directly by sea-level changes, while the paleoproductivity and oxygen conditions interacted with each other under oxygen deficiency environments.     

祁连山纳缪尔期昆虫化石（透翅目）

迄今得到世界公认的、证据确凿的有翅亚纲昆虫化石发现于晚石炭世纳缪尔期(Namurian stage).在这个时期爆发出大量且多样性的昆虫群,形成地史中第1个繁盛期.在这种地质背景下,中国祁连山地区也爆发出迄今第1个最古老的昆虫群,命名为祁连山昆虫群(Qilianshan Entomofauna)(属祁连山动物群,也是祁连山生物群中的一个门类).中国祁连山昆虫群发现于宁夏中卫县晚石炭世纳缪尔期中-薄层黑色页岩、炭质页岩之中.中卫县地处宁夏中部,(中)卫(中)宁平原的西侧.化石产于中卫县城西南20km处的下河沿村,北邻黄河,南依香山,地理坐标为东经105°05′、北纬37°25′,行政区划隶属于中卫县常乐镇.中国祁连山纳缪尔期昆虫的发现与研究,使笔者有机会对这一时期昆虫群的面貌、性质和演化关系,以及产地和层位的分布有了较全面的认识.本区昆虫既有全球纳缪尔期昆虫面貌的一般色彩,又有本区昆虫独特之处,不但有别于欧美的纳缪尔期昆虫,也与中国晚石炭世本溪组和二叠纪山西组、石盒子组昆虫面貌迥然不同.经过详细研究,确立了中国祁连山纳缪尔期的昆虫群--祁连山昆虫群,以宁夏中国纳缪尔翅蛉-石炭祁连山翅蛉-下河沿拟原襀翅蛉(Sinonamuropteris ningxiaensis-Qilian-shanopteris carbonica-Protoplecopsis xiaheyanensis)为代表,反映本区昆虫的特色.自1990年在宁夏中卫县常乐镇采集到纳缪尔期昆虫化石之后又连续进行了7年的采集,至21世纪初,笔者等又深入该地区再次进行采集,前后历经9年的化石采集工作,采获论文摘要曾在1995年第18届国际太平洋了大量且部分保存完好的标本,是昆虫分类与演化系统研究不可多得的新材料.阶段性科学大会古昆虫学分会上宣读,并于1998年建立了祁连山昆虫群,正式向世人公布了这一重要昆虫群的发现,其意义如下.(1)开拓了中国纳缪尔期昆虫的研究领域,从而填补了中国这个时代昆虫的空白.(2)开辟了中国早期昆虫的研究,逐步将中国中生代昆虫的研究,尤其是中三叠世昆虫的研究,向古生代晚期石炭纪-二叠纪昆虫延伸,加深了对古生代晚期至中生代早期这一最关键时期古翅类、新翅类昆虫的死与生、老与新的演替发展过程和不同类群特色的了解、认识,进而有助于探索昆虫的系统演化关系.(3)有翅昆虫翅的发生与发展是国际上2个多世纪以来未完全解决的重大问题之一.由于有翅昆虫在纳缪尔期首次爆发出大量多样性的类群,形成第1个繁盛期,基本上奠定了古生代晚期各个绝灭目和衍生目的基础.以祁连山昆虫群的标本为基础,展开以分类学、系统发育为核心的研究,必将有利于对有翅昆虫翅的发生与发展的探讨和研究.(4)从古昆虫区系来看,祁连山昆虫群不但是中国,也是东亚地史上出现的第1个昆虫群.这个昆虫群由于自身的独特性质而形成自身的区系,在古昆虫区系划分上占有一定的重要位置.(5)从地层划分、对比和时代确定来看,由于祁连山昆虫群各类群的独特性,均为本区特有的昆虫,层位清楚,时代确切,为地层划分、对比和地质时代的确定提供了可靠的根据.(6)祁连山昆虫群是在海陆交互相沉积环境中形成的,它的发现拓宽了寻找昆虫化石的新领域.过去通常在纯陆相的湖泊相、沼泽相和河湖相沉积层中寻找昆虫化石,祁连山昆虫群的发现表明,不但在陆相地层中可以找到昆虫化石,在海陆交互相沉积地层中也可以找到昆虫等陆生动物化石.在实践中可以了解到,海陆交互地区的水量充足,气候潮湿,植被茂盛,有利于昆虫的生存和发展.居多发生在食料来源充足的亚热带-热带原始森林之中的昆虫及其他陆生动物,随着这种良好的自然生态环境而迅速繁殖、发展,使动、植物与大自然形成一系列协同进化的良性的自然生态环境,也为化石的保存提供了良好的地质条件.祁连山纳缪尔期海陆交互相地层所保存的昆虫就是拓宽思路、寻找昆虫化石的一个实例.本文在对翅脉结构和性质进行深入研究和系统分类的基础上,进一步探讨了中国纳缪尔翅蛉科在地史中的演化规律,将该科的演化分为4个阶段原始阶段(离脉时期)、早期阶段(联脉时期)、过渡阶段(触脉时期)和特化阶段(并脉时期).这一演化规律的总结和提出,是昆虫脉序研究的一次突破性进展.文中对祁连山地区产出的数量庞大的中国纳缪尔翅蛉科进行了系统的分类和描述.此次因篇幅所限,仅发表1个新科,包括4个新属、3个新亚属和9个新种.

Fish and ostracod remains from the Santos Basin (Cretaceous to Recent), Brazil

For the first time, ichthyoliths are described from the Santos sedimentary basin, offshore southern Brazil. Isolated teeth, dermal scales and the first documented otoliths from Cretaceous (Albian) to Recent cuttings from five wells are described. The following groups are represented: Chondrichthyans: Triakidae, Carcharhinidae; Ginglymostomatidae: ?Ginglymostoma sp., Lamnidae indet., Scyliorhinidae; Osteichthyans: Teleostei; Myctophiidae: Diaphus aff. splendidus sp. complex, Diaphus spp., Diaphus cf. garmani, Ceratoscopelus aff. warmingii; Sternoptychidae: Valenciennellus tripunctulatus, teeth of indeterminate Teleostei. The majority of these ichthyofossils represent extant forms, known to occur in the Atlantic Ocean, and are of potential value for stratigraphical correlations between oil‐yielding basins in the region. Ostracods are not well preserved but can be identified to generic level indicating marine environments. The ostracod faunas offer potential for intrabasinal correlation in the Eocene and Oligocene.

Terrestrial arthropods from the Late Pleistocene of Jamaica: systematics,palaeoecology and taphonomy

The Red Hills Road Cave, Jamaica, is the most important site for terrestrial arthropods in the post‐Miocene of the Greater Antilles. Its fauna includes millipedes, isopods, crabs and insects, in addition to land snails and vertebrates. Arthropods are preserved in three dimensions and delicate structures such as limbs can be recognized. This unusual preservation was favoured by acidic groundwater rich in dissolved calcium carbonate; periods of high rainfall during which the bottle‐shaped cave was filled with water; and any arthropod washed in would have drowned. The absence of spiders, centipedes and most insects is due to the absence of carbonate in their exoskeletons. Millipedes and isopods possess a potential for preservation by carbonate mineralization that does not occur in other groups; they secrete calcium carbonate in the exoskeleton which hardens the cuticle and is water permeable, bringing about mineral replacement of the original structures. Within the cave, fossil millipede taxa include Rhinocricus sp. or spp., Chondrotropis sp., Caraibodesmus verrucosus (Pocock) and Cyclodesmus sp. cf. C. porcellanus Pocock. The isopod fauna includes Pseudarmadillo sp., Venezillo boonae Van Name, and Philoscia spp. 1 and 2. Crab claws belong to Sesarma sp. cf. S. cookei Hartnoll. Millipedes and isopods are particularly complete, representing drowned individuals fossilized soon after death; land crabs occur as fingers and rare chelae, suggesting that they may be exuviae. Only the most robust parts of insects have been discovered, but are particularly rare, consisting of three taxa of fly puparia and one possible beetle elytra.
