寒武系崮山阶三叶虫生物地层新认识

由于Diceratocephalus已在华北的若干地点找到,如莱芜九龙山、淄博黑石寨和泰安大汶口,Dicerato-cephalus三叶虫亚带可以提升为三叶虫带,这样崮山阶便包含了4个三叶虫带(自上而下)Diceratoceph alusarma-tus带、Drepanura premesnili带、Blackwelderia paronai带和Damesella paronai带。     

黔东南Oryctocephalus indicus的分布及其意义

本文通过对黔东南两条新测剖面的整理、已有剖面的进一步挖掘和已有剖面的资料的整理,厘定出几个寒武系第三统底界附近有代表意义的三叶虫属种在这些剖面中产出层位。经过对比研究,认为Oryctocephalus indicus在黔东南分布广泛,个体清晰,层位稳定并延伸较长,可以作为很好的标准化石。     

A new record of Colpocoryphe (Trilobita) from the Skiddaw Group of the Cross Fell inlier,northern England

The trilobite Colpocoryphe sp. is described for the first time from the Kirkland Formation, Llanvirn, of the Skiddaw Group in the Cross Fell inlier. It is considered to be closely related to a form previously recorded from the upper Arenig of the Lake District. This new record supports the previously suggested Gondwanan aspects of the northern England Avalonian fauna during the early Ordovician. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

常山美丽饰边虫Euloma changshanense Lu（三叶虫）的蜕壳及其古环境意义?

Euloma changshanense Lu采自浙江江山下奥陶统,是一个蜕壳老壳的部分及自由颊腹边缘的印痕。从这后期破损的残壳分析其蜕壳过程,认为两自由颊在头前中间连接,蜕壳时在虫体拱曲时脱落于头前,但还在新壳之上,后被新的虫体顶走,只残存自由颊腹边缘在头前的印痕。这反映了三叶虫在蜕壳过程中有一停顿休息时间,而新的虫体常常顶走或拖走老的头壳上的自由颊和唇瓣,使老壳留下缺失的背壳部件。蜕壳过程是瞬间发生的,即只有原地埋葬才能保存这一状态,说明当时三叶虫处于比较宁静的水中,又处于沉积物供给充足的环境,在蜕壳过程中或不久即被沉积物掩埋。浙江江山印渚埠组的厚度较大,上面直接覆盖着大湾阶底部的Azygograptus suecicus带;而相邻不远的江西玉山印渚埠组顶部,上覆为玉山阶的底部Tetragraptus approximatus带,证明印渚埠组是穿时的。而两个地方的印渚埠组顶部都常产有Euloma changshanense Lu,说明此三叶虫虽为下奥陶统常见化石,但延续时间较长,在特马豆克晚期到整个玉山阶都存在,也说明印渚埠组沉积厚度较大,但整个沉积环境变化不大,即使三叶虫Euloma changshanenes等种属也很少变化。这是研究三叶虫蜕壳及其生态替换、演变的好层位。     

山东张夏期(中寒武世晚期)三叶虫生物地层

根据山东长清张夏虎头山至黄草顶、淄博市淄川区峨庄乡黑石寨谢家峪及新泰县九龙村九龙山的中寒武世晚期地层剖面的新材料 ,分析了山东张夏期三叶虫的地层分布 ,讨论了张夏组的顶底界线 ,扼要地比较了张夏期的 6个多节类三叶虫带与华南过渡区的 4个球接子带。     

峡东寒武纪三叶虫化石新材料

三峡东部中寒武统化石稀少。本文对在宜昌三斗坪中寒武世覃家庙组二段下部含鲕粒灰岩、细晶灰岩中所采获的三叶虫Xingrenaspis sp.进行了研究和描述,并对含化石地层时代进行了讨论。此次发现,丰富了峡东中寒武世的化石资料,也为本区中寒武世地层划分对比提供了新的依据。     

陕西韩城寒武纪三叶虫生物地层

陕西韩城寒武系出露良好 ,化石丰富 ,假整合覆盖于厚约 2 0 m的霍山组石英砂岩之上 ,从下寒武统上部至奥陶系为沉积连续。本区寒武系主要以紫色和黄色泥页岩、泥灰岩、灰岩和白云质灰岩为主 ,从下到上可划分为馒头组、毛庄组、徐庄组、张夏组和三山子组。根据在本区寒武系发现的三叶虫化石 ,韩城地区寒武系可划分为 14个生物带 ,自上而下为 :Blackwelderia带 ,Damesella带 ,L iopeishania带 ,Dorpyge richthofeni带 ,Crepicephalina带 ,Manchuriella带 ,Poriagraulos带 ,Inouyops带 ,Sunaspis带 ,H suchuagia带 ,Shantungaspis带 ,Probowmaniella带 ,Weijiaspis带和 Redlichia murakamii带。     

贵州安顺长兴阶顶部三叶虫化石

三叶虫是二叠纪末生物集群灭绝中消失的生物门类之一,但是关于该门类生物化石在中国消失的确切层位未见报道。贵州安顺新民剖面大隆组顶部的三叶虫化石Pseudophillipsia sp.产于火山成因的黏土岩之炭质泥岩夹层中,相邻的泥灰岩结核中产牙形石化石Clarkina meishanensis。该黏土岩及炭质泥岩夹层可以与浙江长兴煤山D剖面的第25层对比,这说明三叶虫延续到了主灭绝事件层位,对研究二叠纪末生物集群灭绝的原因具有一定的意义。     

湖北兴山寒武系覃家庙群底部三叶虫化石的地层学意义

三峡地区覃家庙群以一套缺乏化石的薄层白云岩沉积为特征。新近在湖北兴山古洞口剖面覃家庙群底部发现Kaotaia gedongensis Yuan & Zhao,Kunmingaspis yunnanensis Chang,Chittidilla sp.等三叶虫。依据三叶虫生物地层学对比结果,结合研究剖面与覃家庙群标准剖面和参考剖面岩石地层学对比,认为三峡地区覃家庙群为跨传统下、中寒武统的地层单元。     

Middle and Late Cambrian trilobite communities from Fenghuang (Dama) of western Hunan, China

Middle and Late Cambrian trilobite faunas from the Dama section in western Hunanare are composed of 63 genera and subgenera, 84 species, and two forms of gen. et sp. indetermined. Which include a mixture of cosmopolitan agnostoids and polymeroids. Three new species, Hardyoides damaensis ,Meringaspis damaensis and Rhyssomelopus (Rodtrifinis ) nitidus, are described by present author in 2004. Besides, Erixanium is recognised for the first time in study area, which is significant for biostratigraphical correlation of the Late Cambrian in the Austalo-Asia region. According to distribution regularity vertical, the Middle and Late Cambrian trilobites can be divided into 9 trilobite communities for the Dama section. Based on the trilobite communities analysis, the author concludes that from the east Mt. Lailong to Dama through Fenghuang, further east, reach in Chenxi.the palaeoenvironments were changed from a shallow-water of oxygen-rich (platform margin slope) into a deep-water of oxygen-poor setting (basin).
