Final report of IGCP Project 410 （1997-2002）——The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia. E-mail： bwebby@laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au

In 1997, IGCP Project No. 410 was established to appraise known records of Ordovician biotas, in order to evaluate one of the greatest-ever diversifications of life on Earth, between 489 and 443 million years ago. Data collection and analysis of biodiversity were coordinated through seven regional teams, and a global“clade” team.     

梦想晚白垩纪公园

晚白垩纪是地质学的一个新名词,距今大约五千万至七千万年. 轻轻的,我像往常一样走进这片熟悉的土地.如果没有人告诉我,脚下这块偌大的冲击盆地在白垩纪早期竟是一个碧波荡漾的湖泊,很难想象它有多么的古老.     

台湾地层检讨(续)

所谓‘大寮层’者,以页岩与砂岩之交互层为主,厚约350公尺,在其上部,砂岩发育较佳,而在山下部则反是。砂岩往住带石灰质并含有化石,尤其在上部有富含Ditrupa sp之灰质的砂岩发现,所谓Ditrupa化石带是也。此外尚有下列之化石发现:

震前动物习性异常与地震活动的关系

鲶鱼、鸽子、虎皮鹦鹉等动物行为活动的定量观测结果表明,1989年唐山震区发生的四个Ms≥4.0 级强余震前1-2天和几天内,动物的习性活动值呈现明显增高,其活动性重心发生改变,昼夜活动节律紊乱。这有可能为临震预报提供一定的信息。     

浅析宁波盆地膏盐地层的时代──兼对“宁波盆地北部的长河群”之时代质疑

宁波盆地地下揭示的一套包含暗色膏硝质泥岩、泥质白云岩在内的紫红、灰紫色泥岩、棕褐色砂砾岩、细砂岩和玻屑凝灰岩的地层，均称方岩组，内含膏盐并具油色显示。对其时代有早、晚白垩世和早第三纪之认识，笔者从70～90年代地质工作中所获化石分析认为，虽然宁波盆地这一层位含化石不丰，但从分布及数量上比较，相对占优势的应该是孢粉和植物化石，其时代意见也较为一致，指示为早白垩世。     

鲻Mugil cephalus L.与尖头酸Liza tade（Forskal）骨骼系统的比较

对南海产的鲻和尖头骼系统作了比较观察，结果表明：两种鱼脑颅都较宽且扁；其鼻骨、围眶骨、翼耳骨、上耳骨，咽颅中的前上颌骨、上颌骨、腭骨、中翼骨、后翼骨、尾舌骨、下咽骨，肩带骨中的主后颞骨、后颞骨、上颞骨、上匙骨、匙骨，以及腰带骨等特征区别明显，其中某些特征可作为属间或种间的鉴别依据。     

Report on Pontoniinae shrimps （Crustacea：Decapoda）collected by Joint Chinese—German Marine Biology Expeditions to Hainan lsland ,South China Sea：Ⅱ.Harpiliopsis,Ischnopontonia,Jocaste,Palae—mone

The present paper reports 9 species of pontoniine shrimps collected from Hainan IS-land ,South China Sea ,by the Joint Chinese-German Marine Biology Expeditions,in which Peri-climenaeus arabicus (Calman,1939) and Periclimenaeus hecate (Nobili,1904) are recorded for the first time from Hainan Island.
