GEOLOGY, PALEONTOLOGY, PETROLOGY, AND MIN­ ERALOGY FOR THE YEAR 1894. By FRED BOUGHTON WEEKS. INTRODUCTION. This work is a continuation of the Bibliography and Index for 1892 and 1893 (Bulletin No. 130), and records the papers on North American geology, paleontology, petrology, and mineralogy published in the year 1894, almost all of. Avhich appeared in the serials composing the List of Publications Examined, immediately following. Bibliography. The Bibliography consists of full titles of separate papers, classified by authors, an abbreviated reference to the publica­ tion in which the paper is printed, and a brief summary of the con­ tents, each paper being numbered for index reference. The extent of papers less than a single page in length is indicated, as £ p., 5 1. (lines). Index. The subject headings, their subdivisions and arrangement, are shown in the Classified Key to the Index. They comprise geo­ graphic, geologic, mineralogic, paleontologic, and petrologic subdivi­ sions. Under Economic Geology is given a list of useful minerals and ores described in publications examined; under Mineralogy, a list of minerals described in such publications; under Paleontology, a list of genera and species of fossils therein described; and under Petrology, a list of rocks described; reference being made in each case, by author's name and number of article in the Bibliography, to the paper in which the fossil, mineral, or rock is described.

Muir a Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 39 East Beijing Road, Nanjing 210008, China b Department of Natural Sciences, Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum Wales, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3LP, UK Received 27 January 2017; received in revised form 12 May 2017; accepted 5 July 2017 Available online 13 July 2017 Abstract Sponges are one of the critical groups in understanding the early evolution of animals. Traditional views of these relationships are currently being challenged by molecular data, but the debate has so far made little use of recent palaeontological advances that provide an independent perspective on deep sponge evolution. This review summarises the available information, particularly where the fossil record reveals extinct character combinations that directly impinge on our understanding of high-level relationships and evolutionary origins. An evolutionary outline is proposed that includes the major early fossil groups, combining the fossil record with molecular phylogenetics. The key points are as follows. (1) Crown-group sponge classes are difficult to recognise in the fossil record, with the exception of demosponges, the origins of which are now becoming clear. (2) Hexactine spicules were present in the stem lineages of Hexactinellida, Demospongiae, Silicea and probably also Calcarea and Porifera; this spicule type is not diagnostic of hexactinellids in the fossil record. (3) Reticulosans form the stem lineage of Silicea, and probably also Porifera. (4) At least some early-branching groups possessed biminerallic spicules of silica (with axial filament) combined with an outer layer of calcite secreted within an organic sheath.

Most specimens are partially disarticulated or isolated plates, which prevent identification to genus and species, but regardless these remains indicate a rich diversity of Mississippian crinoids in Poland during the Mississippian, especially during the late Viséan. Lanecrinus? sp. is described from the late Tournaisian of the D¦bnik Anticline region. A high crinoid biodiversity occurred during late Viséan of the Holy Cross Mountains, including the camerate crinoids Gilbertsocrinus? sp., Platycrinitidae Indeterminate; one flexible crinoid; and numerous eucladid crinoids, including Cyathocrinites mammillaris (Phillips), three taxa represented by partial cups left in open nomenclature, and numerous additional taxa known only from isolated radial plates, brachial plates, and columnals.

    Palaeoecology and taphonomy of a fossil sea floor, in the Carboniferous Limestone of northern England Stephen K. Donovan Abstract: Death assemblages preserved on bedding planes - fossil ‘sea floors’ - are important palaeontological sampling points. A fossil sea floor from Salthill Quarry (Mississippian), Clitheroe, Lancashire, preserves a mixture of crinoid debris with rarer tabulate corals and has yielded a rich diversity of palaeoecological information. Identifiable crinoids includeGilbertsocrinus sp. and a platycrinitid, associated with columnals/ pluricolumnals, brachials/arms and a basal circlet, crinoid-infesting tabulate corals such as Cladochonus sp. and Emmonsia parasitica (Phillips), and the spoor of a pit-forming organism. Long pluricolumnals showing sub-parallel orientations suggest a current azimuth; one coral is silicified with the mineral beekite. Biotic interactions between ancient organisms Studies of fossil bedding planes and the include the obvious, the subtle and the problematic palaeontological associations preserved thereon are not (Boucot 1990). Obvious associations include the currently in vogue in palaeontology, where the database direct evidence provided by cephalopod hooks (=prey) is currently more important than the unique specimen; preserved in the stomachs of predatory ichthyosaurs it may be that bedding planes are currently more (Pollard, 1968), and intergrowths of Pliocene corals, important as sources of information to sedimentologists bryozoans and barnacles (Harper, 2012).

GARCÍA-BELLIDO, MARÍA EUGENIA DIES ÁLVAREZ, JOSÉ ANTONIO GÁMEZ VINTANED, ELADIO LIÑÁN & RODOLFO GOZALO The demosponge genus Crumillospongia, originally described from the Burgess Shale (middle Cambrian of Canada), has only been cited from lower and middle Cambrian localities of North America and China. The taxon is now also de- scribed from uppermost lower Cambrian rocks of the Murero Lagerstätte (Zaragoza Province, NE Spain). Crumillospongia mureroensis sp. nov. is a small to medium sized sack-shaped to elongate demosponge characterized by the presence of densely packed pores of three sizes, considerably larger than those in any other species of the genus. The Spanish material represents a link in the chronostratigraphical gap between the Chinese and North American material. • Key words: Crumillospongia, demosponges, early Cambrian, Lagerstätte, taphonomy, Murero, Spain.

Late Cretaceous nautilid beaks from near- shore/shallow water deposits of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (Czech Republic). Acta Geologica Polonica , 60 (3), 417 –428 . Warszawa. More than 30 isolated nautilid jaws have been discovered in washed samples of late Cretaceous (turonian) near- shore/shallow water deposits located in the southern part of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (BCB). upper and lower jaws discovered in genetically-similar early turonian deposits are described in detail herein. the nautilid jaw appa - ratuses comprise rhyncholites (upper jaws) assigned to Nautilorhynchus simplex (Fritsch), and conchorhynchs (lower jaws) assigned to Conchorhynchus cretaceus Fritsch. some rhyncholites show signs of abrasion and corrosion, and may also form a substrate for sessile organisms. in one specimen, signs of acid digestion in the stomach of a preda - tor were recognized. N. simplex is synonymized with “ Rhyncholithus ” bohemicus (till), “ R.” curvatus ” (till), “ R”. rectus (till) and “ R” . curtus (till). the significant morphological variability observed in N. simplex is supported by biometric data. although the jaws were not found associated with body chambers, it is inferred from the extremely low nautilid biodiversity across the Cenomanian/turonian boundary interval in the BCB, and from the range and rel - ative abundance of the only early turonian nautilid taxon present, that the jaws are probably referable to the genus Eutrephoceras hyatt and specifically to the common and long-ranging species E.

SUMMARY: The present-day brachiopods from the Mediterranean Sea were thoroughly described by nineteenth-century workers, to the extent that Logan’s revision in 1979 listed the same 11 species as Davidson, almost 100 years earlier. Since then recent discoveries, mainly from cave habitats inaccessible to early workers, have increased the number of species to 14. The validity of additional forms, which are either contentious or based on scanty evidence, is evaluated here. Preferred substrates and approximate bio-depth zones of all species are given and their usefulness for paleoecological reconstruction is discussed. A previous dearth of material from the eastern Mediterranean has now been at least partially remedied by new records from the coasts of Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, and, in particular, Lebanon and the southern Aegean Sea. While 11 species (79 % of the whole fauna) have now been recorded from the eastern basin, Terebratulina retusa, Argyrotheca cistellula, Megathiris detruncata and Platidia spp.
