黔东北印江合水和石阡乌谷溪的小溪组中发育良好的遗迹化石,经鉴定共计有5个属的遗迹化石:Palaeophycus isp.,Rusophycus isp.,Planolites isp.,Gordia isp.和Phycodes isp.。根据遗迹化石的组合特征,该组合属于Cruziana遗迹相。结合2个剖面的沉积构造和砂岩粒度分析结果,认为小溪组的沉积环境为相对安静的平均低潮线以下的临滨带。     

西藏定结、定日三叠系遗迹化石及其地质意义

西藏定结县、定日县一带的三叠系产大量遗迹化石,可划分为4个遗迹化石组合,对应于Skolithos遗迹相,Cruziana遗迹相和Zoophycos遗迹相.根据遗迹相及其它相标志判别,该区早中三叠世主要为陆棚环境,晚三叠世主要为滨岸环境.对遗迹化石的分析结果表明该区早三叠世存在短暂的缺氧事件.     

四川龙门山地区早-中泥盆世混积相遗迹化石及其环境分析

龙门山地区早—中泥盆世碳酸盐岩和碎屑岩组成的混合沉积相富含大量海相遗迹化石,可识别居住迹、进食迹、觅食迹、爬行迹和停息迹5大类14属,包括居住迹:Skolithos;进食迹:Chondrites、Phycodes、Planolites、Rhizocorallium、Thalassinoides和Zoophycos;觅食迹:Cylindrichnus以及Palaeophycus;爬行迹:Cruziana和Monomorphichnus;停息迹:Asterichnus、Lockeia和Rusophycus等,这些遗迹化石分属于4个遗迹化石组合,反映了不同沉积环境,分别为:(1)Skolithos—Thalassinoides遗迹组合,沉积于高能砂质环境中,为水动力较强的无障壁滨岸前滨;(2)Rusophycus—Phycodes遗迹化石组合反映了水动力较弱的近滨环境;(3)Chondrites—Palaeophycus遗迹化石组合反映了贫氧、水动力条件较弱的近滨下部环境;(4)Zoophycos—Palaeophycus遗迹化石组合反映的环境为正常浪基面以下,风暴浪基面以上的风暴沉积环境,据此建立了龙门山地区早—中泥盆世混积相遗迹化石生活环境分布模式。龙门山地区早—中泥盆世发现的3种类型Zoophycos遗迹化石,与腕足介壳富集层、波痕、丘状和洼状交错层理等反映浅水环境的沉积特征共存,表明泥盆纪Zoophycos形成于浅水环境。     

康滇古陆东侧早奥陶世遗迹化且合及其指相意义

康滇古陆东侧的下奥陶统,发育有一套碎屑岩相岩石组合,遗迹化石丰富,其组合与沉积相的关系密切,起到了极好的指相佐证。遗迹化石组合有三个特点:1、Cruziana产出层位由西向东升高,具穿时性,越过了整个早奥陶世;2、Cruziana分布较广,而Skolithos较局限;3、Cruziana与Skolithos在时间上交替出现,而在贵州赫章县则只有Skolithos相。     

华南泥盆纪Chondrites的特征及其对古氧相的示踪

系统描述了发育于广西六景、贵州独山、贵阳乌当泥盆纪3个浅海沉积区Cruziana遗迹相Chondrites的产出特征,结合华南泥盆纪其他5个浅海沉积区Cruziana遗迹相的Chondrites资料,对Chondtites的寄主岩系颜色分级、遗迹组构、潜穴直径、遗迹属种的综合研究表明,只有寄主岩系为深灰色-黑色,岩性为灰岩、泥灰岩,潜穴直径小于1 mm,无其他遗迹化石共生时,Chondrites才是贫氧环境标志性遗迹化石的新认识,而个体粗大的Chondrites常发育在常氧环境中.     

贵州丹寨南皋地区中寒武统甲劳组的遗迹化石

贵州丹寨南皋是中国南方寒武系典型地层剖面的地区之一.描述了产自中寒武统甲劳组的遗迹化石Chondrites ichnosp., Beaconichnus jiaolaoensis (nov. ichnosp.), Bifungites ichnosp., Diplichnites danzhaiensis (nov. ichnosp.), Monomorphichnus taenia (nov. ichnosp.), Palaeophycus tubularis, Phycodes pedum, Teichichnus rectus, T. palmatu. 对Beaconichnus Gevoers,1973和Qipanshanichnus Luo et Tao,1994进行了对比研究,认为这2个遗迹属为同一遗迹的不同部位,为同义名.甲劳组的遗迹化石组合属Seilacher(1964,1967)的Cruziana遗迹相,其沉积环境应为浪基面之下水动能中等的正常浅海环境.     

扬子板块西北缘下泥盆统平驿铺组双壳类遗迹化石

四川北部广元地区下泥盆统平驿铺组产出丰富的双壳类遗迹化石,但尚未开展过系统的遗迹学工作,也未进行过行为学与古生态学分析。文中针对四川广元马家剖面平驿铺组中部地层开展沉积学和系统遗迹学研究,在陆棚至近滨带下部沉积中共识别出3个属种的双壳类遗迹化石,包括Lockeia siliquaria,Protovirgularia rugosa,Ptychoplasma vagans,以及其他无脊椎动物门类遗迹化石Cruziana problematica,Dimorphichnus isp.,Lophoctenium isp.等。对双壳类遗迹化石的出现方式、形态以及保存特征的分析表明,平驿铺组中部曾出现过2种类型的双壳类,分属具分叉足(原鳃目)和楔状足的类群。原鳃目分布于过渡带和陆棚区,营沉积物摄食生活;受高能事件或沉积物掩埋影响,它们由停息状态变为“逃逸”状态的行为产生了Pro.rugosa。具楔状足的双壳类依生态类型可分为2类：在过渡带与陆棚区,漫游的、营沉积物摄食的类型产生了Pty.vagans;而在近滨下部,滤食性双壳类居群则在不同期次高能事件的间隙对沉积物进行大规模殖居,产生了L.sil...     

Cambro‐Ordovician trace fossils from the SW‐Norwegian Caledonides

A diverse trace fossil association is described for the first time from low‐grade metamorphic rocks of the SW‐Norwegian Caledonides. The investigated cliff sections with autochthonous to parautochthonous metasediments comprise a coarsening‐ and thickening‐upward succession interpreted as prograding delta deposits. Sedimentary features indicate a tide‐influenced environment. Twenty‐one ichnospecies have been identified and assigned to the Cruziana and Skolithos ichnofacies, including the oldest record of Beaconites capronus and Macaronichnus segregatis. Cruziana ichnostratigraphy (sensu lato), previously rarely used in other palaeocontinents than Gondwana, allows an age determination for these metasediments of Middle Cambrian to Lower Ordovician as indicated by the presence of Cruziana barbata, C. furcifera, C. rugosa, C. semiplicata, Didymaulichnus rouaulti and Rusophycus ramellensis. Baltica was geographically the most isolated from the other three large continents (Gondwana, Laurentia and Siberia) during Cambro‐Ordovician time, and provinciality of faunal assemblages (e.g. brachiopods, conodonts) has been proved and is also supposed for trilobites by some authors. However, although the Cruziana ichnospecies result from a high specialization of their tracemakers, and therefore only a small group of trilobite species is eligible for its origin, the ichnospecies reported from Baltica occur also on other palaeocontinents and do not support the assumption of trilobite provincialism.

Cruziana semiplicata from the Furongian (Late Cambrian) of Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago,Arctic Russia,with a review of the spatial and temporal distribution of this ichnospecies

The Furongian (Late Cambrian) Kurchavinskaya Formation of October Revolution Island, Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago, Arctic Russia , contains two distinctive morphotypes of the trace fossil Cruziana, both of which we assign to Cruziana semiplicata. A wider form shows characteristics typical of this ichnospecies with inner and outer lobes and marginal ridges. A narrow form has only an inner lobe with siculate, often interfering scratch‐marks, and rare, narrow marginal ridges. This narrow form, which shows characters in common with Cruziana tortworthi, probably represents burrowing in a strongly head‐down orientation. The record from October Revolution Island provides additional evidence that the palaeogeographical distribution of Cruziana semiplicata is not restricted to Gondwana, but also extend to parts of Baltica and North Kara. Cruziana semiplicata is known from the Furongian and Tremadocian of Gondwana, whereas on Baltica it is known only from the Furongian. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

云南武定下奥陶统Cruziana遗迹化石群落及其地层和地理分布

本世纪三十年代初,我国古生物学家尹赞勋先生曾详细研究采自滇东和川西南的一些 Cruziana 遗迹化石(尹赞勋,1933)。他首次在我国介绍了二叶石(Bilobites)这一名称同遗迹属名 Cruziana 的关系;讨论了三叶虫可能是 Cruziana 的遗迹动物;并系统描述了上述 Cruziana A,B,C 三种类型。这篇著作对研究我国三叶虫遗迹化石开创了方向,奠定了基础。     

遗迹化石的古环境和古地理意义

遗迹化石(或生物成因沉积构造)是原产地环境条件的指示者,是原地埋藏的遗迹群落,因此几十年前即用来研究古环境和古地理。本文从4个方面讨论了利用遗迹化石群落来解释古代环境和古地理条件：①陆相和海相遗迹化石群落的区别;②海陆过渡带环境的遗迹化石群落和海岸线的识别;③遗迹相的古环境和古地理应用,且讨论了Skolithos(石针迹)、Cruziana(克鲁斯迹)、Zoophycos(动藻迹)和Nereites(类砂蚕迹)四个遗迹相研究的新进展;④利用遗迹化石群落对一些地质事件的解释,包括一些沉积事件的解释以及判断缺氧和贫氧环境。     

Trace fossils from the Upper Ordovician (Caradoc) of the Berwyn Hills,Central Wales

A suite of Caradocian trace fossils from the Berwyn Hills, Central Wales, are examined. They include forms produced by trilobites (Cruziana, Rusophycus, Trichophycus, Monomorphichnus), pelecypods (Lockeia), ?gastropods (?Imponoglyphus) and traces of debatable affinity probably produced by oligochaete and polychaete annelids, amphipods and crustaceans (Skolithos, Planotites, Teichichnus, Diplocraterion, Arenicolites, ?Gyrochorte, ?Palaeophycus, Vermiforichnus). Representatives of the Skolithos and Cruziana communities coexist in this assemblage and no subdivision into discrete ichnofacies is therefore possible. The trace fossils are examined in terms of their relationship to the structure and composition of Upper Ordovician communities and it is concluded that substrate and ecological controls were more important limiting environmental parameters than depth.     

A Study of the Sedimentary Environment of the Xiaoxi Formation in NE of Guizhou,China

The Xiaoxi Formation is well developed in two sections (Heishui, Yinjiang and Wuguxi, Shiqian), NE of Guizhou, China.This formation is composed of the sandstones, siltstones and mudstones, and preserved with the depostional structures and trace fossils. This paper focuses on the study of the sedimentary environment of the Xiaoxi Formation based on the materials from these sections. Five ichospecies are identified from two sections, including Palaeophycus isp., Rusophycus isp., Planolites isp., Gordia isp. and Phycodes isp. These trace fossils belong to the Cruziana ichofacies, Based on the depositonal structures, the ichofaces and the result of particle size analysis, the sedimentary environment of the Xiaoxi Formation of Silurian in NE of Guizhou is nearshore zone with a relativealy and stable environment under the average low tide line.     

湖南栖霞期的生物群落、古地理与生物礁

湖南栖霞期发育了8种不同类型的生物群落,各自反映了不同的沉积环境。这些生物群落的时空分布规律反映了当时的古地理概貌。根据群落分布及岩性特征可将栖霞期的湖南浅海划分为5个古地理单元。在涟(源)浏(阳)开阔浅海的部分海底隆起区,由Peronidella群落形成了生物礁。这是国内首次发现的栖霞期生物礁。     

Arenig trace fossils from the Salamanca area,western Spain

Trace fossils are recorded at two localities from the ‘Armorican Quartzite’ (Lower Ordovician) in the Salamanca area, western Spain. Sixteen ichnospecies, belonging to twelve ichnogenera, are described; all ichnospecies occur in the upper part of the unit, only four in the lower part. The ichnogenera comprise Arthrophycus, Cruziana, Daedalus, Didymaulichnus, Diplichnites, Diplocraterion, cf. Gor-. dia, Monomorphichnus, Muensteria, Palaeophycus, Planolites, and Rusophycus. The presence of Cruziana furcifera, C. goldfussi, C. rugosa, and C? cf. imbricata indicate that the upper part of the unit is of Arenig age. The lower part has yielded only the two former ichnospecies and may extend down into the Tremadoc. The species of Cruziana and their stratigraphical significance are discussed.
