  • Trilobites of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation, Lowermost Arenig) from the Oslo Region, Norway. Part Il: Remaining Non-Asaphid Groups
    Trilobites of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation, lowermost Arenig) from the Oslo Region, Norway. Part Il: Remaining non-asaphid groups OLE A. HOEL Hoel, O. A.: Trilobites of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation, lowermost Arenig) from the Oslo Region, Norway. Part Il: remaining non-asaphid groups. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 79, pp. 259-280. Oslo 1999. ISSN 0029-196X. This is Part Il of a two-part description of the trilobite fauna of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation) in the Oslo, Eiker­ Sandsvær, Modum and Mjøsa areas. In this part, the non-asaphid trilobites are described, while the asaphid species have been described previously. The history and status of the Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary problem is also reviewed, and I have found no reason to insert a Hunnebergian Series between the Tremadoc and the Arenig series, as has been suggested by some workers. Descriptions of the localities yielding this special trilobite fauna are provided. Most of the 22 trilobite species found in the Hagastrand Member also occur in Sweden. The 12 non-asaphid trilobites described herein belong to the families Metagnostidae, Shumardiidae, Remopleurididae, Nileidae, Cyclopygidae, Raphiophoridae, Alsataspididae and Pliomeridae. One new species is described; Robergiella tjemviki n. sp. Ole A. Hoel, Paleontologisk Museum, Sars gate l, N-0562 Oslo, Norway. Introduction contemporaneous platform deposits in Sweden are domi­ nated by a condensed limestone succession. In Norway, the The Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary interval is a crucial point Tøyen Formation is divided into two members: the lower in the evolution of several invertebrate groups, especially among the graptolites and the trilobites. In the graptolites, this change consisted most significantly in the loss of bithekae and a strong increase in diversity.

ROBERTS, Esq., B.A., F.G.S., St. John's College, Cambridge. (Read June 10, 1885.) [PLATs XV.] w 1. Introductory. T~x~. country around Haverfordwest is of great interest to geologists, first, on account of the evidence fur~tished therein of the relations of the graptolite-bearing beds to the strata which are characterized by the presence of higher organisms, and secondly, from the nature of the foldings which the rocks of the district have undergone. We propose, in this communication, to devote our attention to the former of these subjects. Our work is based upon that which has been done by the Geo- logical Survey, and published in Sheet 40, ]~orizontal Sections, Nos. 1 & 2, and Mem. Geol. Survey, vol. ii. part i. Whilst fully acknowledging the great value of these publications, we think it desirable, now that our knowledge of the forms of life occurring in these rocks has been so much increased by the labours of many geologists in recent years, to attempt a more minute classifi- cation of the rocks of this district than that adopted by the Govern- ment Surveyors. In our opinion, this further description of the beds will throw considerable fight upon the character of the movements which the district has undergone.

Brisbane. ISSN0079-8835. Aconsolidated list of available generic names introduced since the beginning of the binomial nomenclature system for trilobites is presented for the first time. Each entry is accompanied by the author and date of availability, by the name of the type species, by a lithostratigraphic or biostratigraphic and geographic reference for the type species, by a family assignment and by an age indication of the type species at the Period level (e.g. MCAM, LDEV). A second listing of these names is taxonomically arranged in families with the families listed alphabetically, higher level classification being outside the scope of this work. We also provide a list of names that have apparently been applied to trilobites but which remain nomina nuda within the ICZN definition. Peter A.

    Upper Cambrian – Arenig stratigraphy and biostratigraphy in the Purmamarca area, Jujuy Province, NW Argentina Guillermo F. Aceñolaza1 and Sergio M. Nieva1 1 INSUGEO – Conicet/Facultad de Ciencias Naturales e I.M.L. Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Miguel Lillo 205, 4000 Tucumán. E-mail: [email protected] Palabras clave: Estratigrafía. Bioestratigrafía. Ordovícico. Purmamarca. Jujuy. Argentina. Key words: Stratigraphy. Biostratigraphy. Ordovician. Purmamarca. Jujuy. Argentina. Introduction The region of Purmamarca is a classical locality for geological studies in the argentine literature. Many authors have recognized and analyzed the Ordovician strata and its paleontological heritage (eg. Keidel, 1917; Kobayashi,1936, 1937; Harrington, 1938; De Ferraris, 1940; Harrington and Leanza, 1957; Ramos et al., 1967 and Tortello, 1990). However, strata are several times sliced by longitudinal faults of submeridional trend, cropping out in narrow belts alternating with Precambrian/Cambrian, Cambrian and Mesozoic units. As long ago stated by Harrington (1957), no continuous section is displayed, recording isolated Ordovician blocks of different stratigraphic position. Several Lower Ordovician units crop out in the Purmamarca area. The Casa Colorada Formation (Uppermost Cambrian – Lower Tremadocian) is widely represented by the eastern flank of the Quebrada de Humahuaca when meeting the Quebrada de Purmamarca. The Coquena and Cieneguillas shales (Upper Tremadocian), and the Sepulturas Formation (Arenig) are nicely displayed in the tributaries of the Quebrada de Purmamarca. Finally, it is worthwhile to mention that a paleontological collection from this South American locality was given to the renowned Japanese paleontologist Teiichi Kobayashi in the first decades of the XX century (Kobayashi, 1936). Within the material was a new trilobite genus, defined by him as Jujuyaspis(after Jujuy province).

    Enrolled agnostids from Cambrian of Spain provide new insights about the mode of life in these forms JORGE ESTEVE & SAMUEL ZAMORA Enrolled agnostids have been known since the beginning of the nineteenth century but assemblages with high number of enrolled specimens are rare. There are different hypotheses about the life habits of this arthropod group and why they en- rolled. These include: a planktic or epiplanktic habit, with the rolled-up posture resulting from clapping cephalon and pygidium together, ectoparasitic habit or a sessile lifestyle, either attached to seaweeds or on the sea floor. Herein we de- scribe two new assemblages from the middle Cambrian of Purujosa (Iberian Chains, North Spain) where agnostids are minor components of the fossil assemblages but occasionally appear enrolled. The taphonomic and sedimentological data suggest that these agnostids were suddenly buried and rolled up as a response to adverse palaeoenvironmental con- ditions. Their presence with typical benthic components supports a benthic mode of life for at least some species of agnostids. • Key words: middle Cambrian, Gondwana, arthropods, behavior, Spain.

  • Biodiversity, Distribution and Patterns of Extinction of the Last Odontopleuroid Trilobites During the Devonian (Givetian, Frasnian)
    Geol. Mag. 144 (5), 2007, pp. 777–796. c 2007 Cambridge University Press 777 doi:10.1017/S0016756807003779 First published online 13 August 2007 Printed in the United Kingdom Biodiversity, distribution and patterns of extinction of the last odontopleuroid trilobites during the Devonian (Givetian, Frasnian) ∗ RAIMUND FEIST & KENNETH J. MCNAMARA† ∗Laboratoire de Paleontologie,´ Institut des Sciences de l’Evolution, Universite´ Montpellier II, Cc 062, Place E. Bataillon, 34095 Montpellier, France †Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK (Received 18 September 2006; accepted 22 February 2007) Abstract – Biostratigraphical ranges and palaeogeographical distribution of mid-Givetian to end- Frasnian odontopleurids are investigated. The discovery of Leonaspis rhenohercynica sp. nov. in mid-Givetian strata extends this genus unexpectedly up to the late Middle Devonian. New material of Radiaspis radiata (Goldfuss, 1843) and the first koneprusiine in Britain, Koneprusia? sp., are described from the famous Lummaton shell-bed, Torquay, Devon. New taxa of Koneprusia, K. serrensis, K. aboussalamae, K. brevispina,andK. sp. A and K. sp. B are defined. Ceratocephala (Leonaspis) harborti Richter & Richter, 1926, is revised and reassigned to Gondwanaspis Feist, 2002. Two new species of Gondwanaspis, G. dracula and G. spinosa, plus three others left in open nomenclature, are described from the late Frasnian of Western Australia. A further species of Gondwanaspis, G. prisca, is described from the early Frasnian of Montagne Noire. Species of Gondwanaspis are shown to possess a number of paedomorphic features. A functional analysis suggests that, unlike other odontopleurids, Gondwanaspis actively fed and rested with the same cephalic orientation. The sole odontopleurid survivors of the severe terminal mid-Givetian biocrisis (‘Taghanic Event’) belong to the koneprusiine Koneprusia in the late Givetian and Frasnian, and, of cryptogenic origin, the acidaspidine Gondwanaspis in the Frasnian.
