本溪组命名剖面牙形刺动物群的特征及地质时代

报道了在辽宁本溪牛毛岭的本溪组命名剖面的本溪组上部牙形刺化石研究的新进展。在该组上部灰岩层中发现Idiognathodus delicatus—I.podolskensis组合为代表的牙形刺动物群。该动物群中Idiognathodus podolskensis,I.delicatus,Neognathodus inaequalis,N.roundyi等晚石炭世莫斯科期标准化石的发现表明,本溪组上部可大体与莫斯科阶的中上部相对比。本溪组下部的时代可能为早石炭世晚期。     

西藏申扎地区晚石炭世-早二叠世冈瓦纳相腕足类动物群再研究

西藏申扎地区德日昂玛-下拉剖面永珠组中上部和昂杰组的腕足类动物群可以与国内、外冈瓦纳相和亲冈瓦纳相地区的腕足类动物群进行对比,但又显示出其独特的一面。将其自下而上划分为4个组合,永珠组中上部为Reedoconcha xizangensis-Spinomartinia xainzaensis组合、Cimmeriella mucronata-Reedoconcha excellens组合和Trigonotreta magnifica-Bandoproductus in-termedia组合,昂杰组为Aulosteges ingens-Punctocyrtella nagmargensis组合。按照国内、外冈瓦纳相、亲冈瓦纳相地区及华夏特提斯地区腕足类的时代意见,永珠组中部腕足类组合的时代为晚石炭世巴斯基尔期,上部2个腕足类组合分别为早二叠世萨克马尔早期—萨克马尔晚期,昂杰组的腕足类组合的时代为早二叠世亚丁斯克期。     

贵州青岩剖面青岩阶上部牙形石的发现及其意义

在贵州青岩剖面的青岩组之上,原被认为是拉丁期的垄头组下部的层段中发现了牙形石动物群,除少量的分枝分子外,都归属于Neogondolella属,可鉴定为4个种,即Neogondolella bifurcata,N.constricta,N.mombergensis和N.navicula.建立了2个牙形石带,自下而上是Neogondolella bifurcata带和N.cinstricta带.牙形石面貌证明这段地层在时代上非常接近但尚未进入拉丁阶,属于安尼期中晚期,进一步的牙形石工作将很有可能在目前发现的牙形石层段的上部寻找到安尼阶和拉丁阶之间的界限,从而为青岩阶顶界的限定提供可靠的牙形石证据.此外,牙形石的发现还初步实现了青岩阶2大主导门类化石--牙形石和菊石在同一剖面的直接对比关系.     

西藏林周县麦隆岗组顶部的晚三叠世牙形石

本文记述的牙形石动物群,均产自西藏林周县麦隆岗村的上三叠统麦隆岗组顶部,共计8属20种。其中Epigondolella属在此剖面上产出丰富。根据该属的不同种和种群特征,该牙形石动物群可明显地划分出4个牙形石组合带,自下而上:Epigondolella multidentata带,E.sp.C带,E.postera带,E.bidentata带。这些牙形石带,时代属中晚诺利期。     

布卡拉曼加拉贝氏牙形石动物群在西藏日土地区的发现及其意义

布卡拉曼加拉贝氏牙形石动物群首次在西藏阿里日土县多玛区脱塔拉剖面的吞龙共巴组底部发现,主要由Rabeignathus bucaramangus,Sweetognathus whitei,Sweetognathus ironatus和Mesogondolella cf.bissilli组成,指示的地层时代为Artinskian中晚期-Kungurian早期.此前,该动物群仅发现于美国犹他州、堪萨斯州、哥伦比亚的布卡拉曼加、帕米尔东南部和中国滇西保山地区.该牙形石动物群的产出地点位于班公湖以北、龙木错以南的喀喇昆仑地层分区,跨越了班公湖-怒江断裂带北界,而这一动物群被认为是冈瓦纳北缘浅海区特有的浅水相类型,因此推测班公湖-怒江缝合带可能不是冈瓦纳大陆的北界.

长江源各拉丹冬地区晚二叠世乌丽群的腕足类生物组合

在长江源区各拉丹冬一带晚二叠世地层中建立了2个腕足类生物组合，下部为Spinomarginifera cf.kueichowensis-Tschernyschewia cf.sinensis-Tyloplecta cf.yangtzeensis组合，见于乌丽群下部的那益雄组；上部为Leptodus nobilis-Perigeyerella costellata-Enteletes subequivalis组合，见于乌丽群上部的拉卜查日组。两个组合生物群属于特提斯动物群，均可与华南地区同期地层中的生物群相对比。     

广西全州地区晚泥盆世牙形石和腕足类生物地层

广西东北部泥盆系发育良好,化石丰富,对研究中国华南地区泥盆纪生物地层具有重要意义。对广西全州地区东山剖面上泥盆统佘田桥组、锡矿山组和孟公坳组进行了系统的化石采集及室内分析,共获得104枚牙形石化石和34件腕足类化石。经鉴定,牙形石共21属19种,腕足类化石共6属9种。根据化石种属在东山剖面上的分布,自下而上可划分出8个牙形石带:Icriodus brecis带,Schmidtognathus hermanni-Polygnathus cristatus带,Schmidtognatus wittekindtii带,Palmatolepis linguiformis带,Palmatolepis triangularis带,Palmatolepis rhomboidea带,Icriodus cornutus带和Palmatolepis gracilis manca-Rhodalepis polylophodontiformis带,指示研究区内佘田桥组、锡矿山组、孟公坳组分别对应国际年代地层单位的弗拉斯阶上部、法门阶下部和法门阶中上部,并通过Palmatolepis triangularis的首现确立了该地区弗拉斯阶和法门阶(F-F)的界线;在东山剖面共划分出2个腕足类组合带:弓石燕(Cyrtospirifer)组合带和云南贝(Yunnanella)-帐幕石燕(Tenticosififer)组合带,它们分别与东山剖面中牙形石Palmatolepis falsiovalis-Palmatolepis linguiformis带、Palmatolepis rhomboidea-Palmatolepis marginifera带对应。     

鄂东伍家冲剖面乐平世牙形石生物地层及大隆组的时代

大隆组是华南地区乐平世一种重要的较深水沉积.为进一步探讨大隆组沉积的时空分布,选择对鄂东伍家冲剖面吴家坪组和大隆组重点进行了牙形石生物地层研究,此次研究共鉴定出牙形石1属5种,均为Clarkina,并由老到新识别出4个牙形石带:C.guangyuanensis带、C.transcaucasica带、C.orientalis带及C.wangi带.根据牙形石C.wangi的首现,将伍家冲剖面的吴家坪阶-长兴阶界线(Wuchiapingian-Changhsingian boundary,简称WCB)置于第18层底部.根据菊石Ophiceras的首现将伍家冲剖面的二叠系-三叠系界线(Permian-Triassic boundary,简称PTB)置于第20层顶部,仅高于WCB界线0.72 m.牙形石生物地层指示伍家冲剖面大隆组的主体为吴家坪期沉积产物.数个长兴期牙形石带的缺失和极短的长兴阶表明,该剖面长兴阶中上部可能因沉积间断存在缺失.      

塔里木板块奥陶系鹰山组的地质时代北大核心CSCD

塔里木板块碳酸盐岩相的鹰山组地质时代有3种观点,分别为早奥陶世、早-中奥陶世、中奥陶世。归纳塔里木下奥陶统-中奥陶统界线附近的相关古生物资料,根据牙形石Serratognathoides chuxianensis等的延展时限,认为前人在柯坪、巴楚地区所建立的牙形石Paroistodus originalis带,Baltoniodus aff.navis带证据不足;原Tangshanodus带不能对比华北板块下马家沟组的Tangshanodus tangshanensis带,原定的Tangshanodus sp.已厘定为Erraticodon tarimensis,层位在Aurilobodus leptosomatus-Loxodus dissectus带之下和Serratognathus diversus带之上;Serratognathoides chuxianensis层位只限于下奥陶统弗洛阶的Oepikodus evae带,在塔里木该牙形石种亦仅见于A.leptosomatus-L.dissectus带之下。根据全球下奥陶统-中奥陶统界线的确认标准,宜将鹰山组上部牙形石Serratognathoides chuxianensis-Scolopodus euspinus-Erraticodon tarimensis组合划归下奥陶统弗洛阶,鹰山组时代应为早奥陶世特马豆克晚期至弗洛期。鹰山组与上覆地层之间存在沉积间断。     

Palynostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental significance of the Cretaceous succession in the Gebel Rissu-1 well,north Western Desert,Egypt

Palynological investigation of the Cretaceous Abu Roash, Bahariya, Kharita, Alamein, Alam El Bueib and Betty formations, encountered in the Gebel Rissu-1 well, north Western Desert, Egypt yielded 27 species of pteridophytic spores, 24 of gymnosperm pollen, 25 of angiosperm pollen and 11 of dinoflagellate cysts in addition to some acritarchs, foraminiferal test linings and freshwater algae. This enabled us to recognize five miospore biozones arranged from youngest to oldest as: Classopollis brasiliensis–Afropollis cf. kahramanensis–Dichastopollenites ghazalataensis Assemblage Zone (Late Cenomanian); Elaterosporites klaszii–Sofrepites legouxae–Afropollis jardinus Assemblage Zone (Middle/Late Albian–Early Cenomanian); Pennipollis peroreticulatus–Duplexisporites generalis-Tricolpates Assemblage Zone (Early Aptian–Early Albian); Tucanopollis crisopolensis–Afropollis sp. Assemblage Zone (Barremian) and Appendicisporites cf. tricornitatus–Ephedripites spp. Assemblage Zone (Late Neocomian).The Early Cretaceous Kharita, Alam El Bueib and the Betty formations encountered in the Gebel Rissu-1 well are interpreted to indicate oxic proximal and distal shelf deposits, characterized by type III/IV, V kerogen, which is gas prone but having little potential to produce hydrocarbons. The Upper Cretaceous Abu Roash and Bahariya formations are characterized by a distal suboxic–anoxic and marginal dysoxic–anoxic environment, and their kerogen type III/II indicates gas/oil prone nature. The Bahariya and Kharita Albian–Cenomanian sediments in the present study witnessed the onset of a semi-arid to arid climate, with local or seasonal humid conditions, based on the continuous high abundance of the elaterates pollen and Afropollis-producing plants that inhabited the paleotropical humid coastal plains.     

Newly Discovered Fish Faunas from the Early Triassic, Karoo Basin, South Africa, and their Correlative Implications

Recent collecting in exposures of the lowermost Burgersdorp Formation (Beaufort Group), of the Karoo Basin of South Africa, has revealed a previously unknown fish fauna from the Early Triassic (Scythian), lowermost Cynognathus Assemblage Zone (CAZ), which forms an important component of the total vertebrate assemblage. The newly discovered fish material includes lungfish, saurichthyids, and a large microfauna that includes numerous isolated chondrichthyan teeth, two fin spine fragments, and actinopterygian scales and teeth. The latest fish finds, together with the lowermost Cynognathus Assemblage Zone vertebrate faunas, make this Karoo Basin Assemblage Zone one of the most diverse Early Triassic faunal assemblages, comparable in faunal diversity to those from the Czatkowice Formation (Poland) and the Arcadia Formation (Australia). The presence of the lungfish Ptychoceratodus phillipsi in the early Middle Triassic Cynognathus Assemblage Zone (Subzone B), and in the underlying latest Early Triassic Cynognathus Assemblage Zone (Subzone A), indicates that these lungfish could serve as range index fossils within the CAZ, and thus are potentially useful biostratigraphic markers across the Early-Middle Triassic boundary. Furthermore the ‘new’ fish fauna provides a vital marine realm link in particular with the faunas of Madagascar and Australia, that is unavailable using the tetrapod faunal elements of the lower CAZ.

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。     

Ammonites (Phylloceratina,Lytoceratina and Ancyloceratina) and organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts from the Late Barremian in Boljetin,eastern Serbia

Late Barremian ammonite fauna from the epipelagic marlstone and marly limestone interbeds of Boljetin Hill (Boljetinsko Brdo) of Danubic Unit (eastern Serbia) is described. The ammonite fauna includes representatives of three suborders (Phylloceratina, Lytoceratina and Ancyloceratina), specifically Hypophylloceras danubiense n. sp., Lepeniceras lepense Rabrenović, Holcophylloceras avrami n. sp., Phyllopachyceras baborense (Coquand), Phyllopachyceras petkovici n. sp., Phyllopachyceras eichwaldi eichwaldi (Karakash), Phyllopachyceras ectocostatum Drushchits, Protetragonites crebrisulcatus (Uhlig), Macroscaphites perforatus Avram, Acantholytoceras cf. subcirculare (Avram), Dissimilites cf. trinodosus (d'Orbigny) and Argvethites? sp. The taxonomic composition and percent abundance of the identified ammonites indicate that their taxa are predominantly confined to the Tethyan realm. Ammonites with smooth and slightly sculptured shells predominate among the studied fauna. The ammonite-bearing succession from Boljetin represents the lower part of the Upper Barremian, ranging in ammonite zonation from the Toxancyloceras vandenheckei Zone to the lower part of the Imerites giraudi Zone. The associated organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts confirm the Late Barremian age of the ammonite-bearing levels.

甘肃省东乡族自治县龙担黄土底部新发现的哺乳动物群初步报道

龙担哺乳动物群发现于甘肃省东乡族自治县的早更新世黄土底部。此前我国早更新世的哺乳动物化石大多发现于河-湖相地层中,在黄土中极少发现,而且主要在六盘山以东。在龙担哺乳动物群中还发现了灵长类化石,这在我国西北地区尚属首次。龙担哺乳动物群产于黄土底部约30m的地层中,最低的层位距“底板”(积石组砾岩)仅约3m。化石相当丰富,其中有不少新的种类。目前已发现的化石共21种,大体可以分为3类:1)与泥河湾哺乳动物群相同或很接近的;2)与泥河湾哺乳动物群相比,在进化水平上稍低,因而可能代表较早地质时代的;3)在泥河湾哺乳动物群中没有发现过的。龙担哺乳动物群的地质时代可能比泥河湾者稍早,可能约2MaB.P.。其组成倾向于表明,当时该地区周围还有相当面积的森林覆盖。     

A middle Cambrian shallow water trilobite fauna from the Comstock Formation,near Queenstown,western Tasmania

A limestone lens within the Comstock Formation, from low in the Tyndall Group near the Lyell Comstock Mine near Queenstown, western Tasmania, contains a small trilobite fauna. The trilobites include Ammagnostus cf. laiwuensis, Kootenia sp., Sudanomocarina? sp. and a possible member of the Monkaspidae. These suggest an age somewhere in the range from the upper Ptychagnostus atavus Zone to the Lejopyge laevigata Zone, with regional stratigraphic correlations suggesting the latter zone. This is only the second Tasmanian Cambrian fossil assemblage described from limestone; almost all previously described Tasmanian Cambrian faunas are found in siltstones and shales.     

贵州桐梓红花园奥陶系湄潭组疑源类生物地层

桐梓红花园剖面奥陶纪地层出露完整,化石丰富,层序清楚。该剖面湄潭组5个笔石带中有疑源类化石31属49种,根据其组成和相对丰度不同划分为5个疑源类组合带:组合带的属、种较为单调,且丰度不高;组合带中Polygonium占优势,伴有Arbusculidium;组合带以大量Stelliferidium的出现为特征;组合带与组合带相似;组合带中Leiosphaeridia的含量比Polygonium高,产特征分子Coryphidiumelegans。桐梓红花园湄潭组疑源类组合与中欧、北非、中东、南亚、北美纽芬兰东部、南美等环冈瓦纳地区同期疑源类组合相似,证实华南地区属于环冈瓦纳疑源类古地理分区。部分奥陶纪疑源类分子,如Ampullulaerchunensis、Arkonia、Dicrodiacrodium和Leprotolypaevexa等在桐梓红花园剖面的首现(FAD)较全球其他地区早。     

Radiolarian Age of Red Chert from the Kunimiyama Ferromanganese Deposit in the Northern Chichibu Belt, Central Shikoku, Japan

Abstract. The radiolarian age of red chert from the Kunimiyama area of the Northern Chichibu Belt was determined in order to constrain the depositional age of the Kunimiyama deposit that is among the largest ferromanganese deposits in Japan. Pseudoalbaillella cf scalprata Holdsworth and Jones, Pseudoalbaillella cf longicornis Ishiga and Imoto and Pseudoalbaillella sp. belonging to the Ps. lomentaria Zone are found in the red chert, indicating an age of middle Early Permian (middle Wolfcampian). The red chert occurs immediately above the ferromanganese deposit, and the boundary between them is gradual. Based on their mode of occurrence and geochemical features, it is most likely that radiolarian chert and ferromanganese precipitate accumulated simultaneously to produce red chert during the waning stage of submarine hydrothermal activity that was responsible for the Kunimiyama deposit. Consequently, the age of Kunimiyama stratiform ferromanganese deposit is constrained as middle Early Permian (middle Wolfcampian).
