Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology Sutton New Analytical Methods Rahman TECHNIQUES FOR Garwood in Earth and VIRTUAL PALAEONTOLOGY Environmental Science Virtual palaeontology, the use of interactive three-dimensional digital models as a supplement or alternative to physical specimens for scientific study and communication, is rapidly becoming important to advanced students and researchers. Using non-invasive techniques, the method allows the capture of large quantities of useful data without damaging the fossils being studied. Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology guides palaeontologists through the decisions involved in TECHNIQUES FOR designing a virtual palaeontology workflow and gives a comprehensive overview, providing discussions of underlying theory, applications, historical development, details of practical methodologies, and case studies. Techniques covered include physical-optical tomography (serial sectioning), focused ion beam tomography, all forms of X-ray CT, neutron tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical tomography, laser scanning, and photogrammetry. Visualization techniques and data/file formats are also discussed in detail. TECHNIQUES FOR Readership: All palaeontologists and students interested in three-dimensional visualization and analysis.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Ginter, M. 2018. Symmoriiform sharks from the Pennsylvanian of Nebraska. Acta Geologica Polonica, 68 (3), 391–401. Warszawa. The Indian Cave Sandstone (Upper Pennsylvanian, Gzhelian) from the area of Peru, Nebraska, USA, has yielded numerous isolated chondrichthyan remains and among them teeth and dermal denticles of the Symmoriiformes Zangerl, 1981. Two tooth-based taxa were identified: a falcatid Denaea saltsmani Ginter and Hansen, 2010, and a new species of Stethacanthus Newberry, 1889, S. concavus sp. nov. In addition, there occur a few long, monocuspid tooth-like denticles, similar to those observed in Cobelodus Zangerl, 1973, probably represent- ing the head cover or the spine-brush complex. A review of the available information on the fossil record of Symmoriiformes has revealed that the group existed from the Late Devonian (Famennian) till the end of the Middle Permian (Capitanian).

  • Sharks from the Middle-Late Devonian Aztec Siltstone, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
    Records of the Western Australian Museum 17: 287-308 (1995). Sharks from the Middle-Late Devonian Aztec Siltstone, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica John A. Longl and Gavin C. Young2 I Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000 2 Australian Geological Survey Organisation, p.a. Box 378, Canberra, A.C.T. 2601 Abstract Shark teeth representing three new taxa are described from the Middle-Late Devonian Aztec Siltstone of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Portalodus bradshawae gen. et sp. novo is represented by large diplodont teeth which have a base with a well-produced labial platform. It occurs in the middle to upper sections of the Aztec Siltstone. Aztecodus harmsenae gen. et sp. novo is represented by broad bicuspid teeth, wider than high, with numerous medial crenulations and twin nutritive foramina penetrating the rectangular base. It occurs in the middle sections of the Aztec Siltstone. The teeth of Anareodus statei gen. et sp. novo are characterised by having a main cusp which is more than twice as high as the second cusp, a small cusplet developed on the outer cutting edge of the main cusp, sometimes with few crenulations developed in the middle of the two cusps, and the base is strongly concave. Antarctilanma cf. prisca Young, 1982 is also recorded from the middle and upper sections of the Aztec Siltstone above the thelodont horizons and occurring with phyllolepids and Pambulaspis in the Cook Mountains section south of Mt Hughes. The chondrichthyan fauna from the Aztec Siltstone now contains at least 5 species, being the most diverse assemblage of Middle Devonian chondrichthyans (based on teeth) from one stratigraphic unit.

  • Chondrichthyan Fauna of the Frasnian–Famennian Boundary Beds in Poland
    Chondrichthyan fauna of the Frasnian–Famennian boundary beds in Poland MICHAŁ GINTER Michał Ginter. 2002. Chondrichthyan fauna of the Frasnian–Famennian boundary beds in Poland. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 47 (2): 329–338. New chondrichthyan microremains from several Frasnian–Famennian sections in the Holy Cross Mountains and Dębnik area (Southern Poland) are investigated and compared to previous data. The reaction of different groups of chondrichthyans to environmental changes during the Kellwasser Event is analysed. Following the extinction of phoebodont sharks of Phoebodus bifurcatus group before the end of the Frasnian, only two chondrichthyan species, viz. Protacrodus vetustus Jaekel, 1921 and Stethacanthus resistens sp. nov. (possibly closely related to “Cladodus” wildungensis Jaekel, 1921), occur in the upper part of Frasnian Palmatolepis linguiformis conodont Zone and persist into the Famennian. Global cooling is considered a possible cause of the extinction of Frasnian subtropical phoe− bodonts on Laurussian margins. Key words: Chondrichthyes, Kellwasser Event, Devonian, Poland.

  • Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous Chondrichthyans from the Fairfield Group, Canning Basin, Western Australia
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous chondrichthyans from the Fairfield Group, Canning Basin, Western Australia Brett Roelofs, Milo Barham, Arthur J. Mory, and Kate Trinajstic ABSTRACT Teeth from 18 shark taxa are described from Upper Devonian to Lower Carbonif- erous strata of the Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin, Western Australia. Spot samples from shoal facies in the upper Famennian Gumhole Formation and shallow water car- bonate platform facies in the Tournaisian Laurel Formation yielded a chondrichthyan fauna including several known species, in particular Thrinacodus ferox, Cladodus thomasi, Protacrodus aequalis and Deihim mansureae. In addition, protacrodont teeth were recovered that resemble formally described, yet unnamed, teeth from Tournaisian deposits in North Gondwanan terranes. The close faunal relationships previously seen for Late Devonian chondrichthyan taxa in the Canning Basin and the margins of north- ern Gondwana are shown here to continue into the Carboniferous. However, a reduc- tion in species overlap for Tournaisian shallow water microvertebrate faunas between the Canning Basin and South China is evident, which supports previous studies docu- menting a separation of faunal and terrestrial plant communities between these regions by this time. The chondrichthyan fauna described herein is dominated by crushing type teeth similar to the shallow water chondrichthyan biofacies established for the Famennian and suggests some of these biofacies also extended into the Early Carboniferous.

  • American Museum Novitates
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3954, 29 pp. June 16, 2020 A new genus of Late Cretaceous angel shark (Elasmobranchii; Squatinidae), with comments on squatinid phylogeny JOHN G. MAISEY,1 DANA J. EHRET,2 AND JOHN S.S. DENTON3 ABSTRACT Three-dimensional Late Cretaceous elasmobranch endoskeletal elements (including palato- quadrates, ceratohyals, braincase fragments, and a series of anterior vertebrae) are described from the Late Cretaceous University of Alabama Harrell Station Paleontological Site (HSPS), Dallas County, Alabama. The material is referred to the extant elasmobranch Family Squatinidae on the basis of several distinctive morphological features. It also exhibits features not shared by any modern or fossil Squatina species or the extinct Late Jurassic squatinid Pseudorhina. A new genus and species is erected, despite there being some uncertainty regarding potential synonymy with existing nominal species previously founded on isolated fossil teeth (curiously, no squatinid teeth have been docu- mented from the HSPS). A preliminary phylogenetic analysis suggests that the new genus falls on the squatinid stem, phylogenetically closer to Squatina than Pseudorhina. The craniovertebral articu- lation in the new genus exhibits features considered convergent with modern batomorphs (skates and rays), including absence of contact between the posterior basicranium and first vertebral cen- trum, and a notochordal canal which fails to reach the parachordal basicranium. Supporting evi- dence that similarities in the craniovertebral articulation of squatinoids and batomorphs are convergent rather than synapomorphic (as “hypnosqualeans”) is presented by an undescribed Early Jurassic batomorph, in which an occipital hemicentrum articulates with the first vertebral centrum as in all modern sharklike (selachimorph) elasmobranchs. The fossil suggests instead that the bato- 1 Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, American Museum of Natural History, NY.

Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, Wright State University, 2019. Chondrichthyan diversity within the Burlington-Keokuk Fish Bed of Southeast Iowa and Northwest Illinois (Mississippian: Osagean) Chondrichthyan remains occur in abundance within a thin layer of limestone at the top of the Burlington Limestone at the point of the contact with the overlying Keokuk Limestone. This layer of rock, the “Burlington-Keokuk Fish Bed,”1 is stratigraphically consistent and laterally extensive in exposures of the Burlington Limestone near its type section along the Iowa-Illinois border. Deposition of the fish bed occurred on the Burlington Continental Shelf carbonate ramp off the subtropical western coast of Laurussia during the Lower Carboniferous (Late Tournaisian; Osagean) due to a drop in sea level, although the specific mechanism(s) that concentrated the vertebrate fossils remain(s) unknown.

  • Contributions to the Morphology of Cladoselache (Cladodus)
    CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MORPHOLOGY OF CLAD0 SE LA C H E (CZadodzds) . BASHFORD DEAN, COLUMBIACOLLEGE, NEW YORK CITY. UNTILvery recent times the Morphology of Elasmobranchs has received few contributions from the study of the earlier fossil forms. It was, in fact, hardly to be expected that uncalcified shark structures should have preserved with any completeness the record of their ancient characters. Fragmentary remains on the other hand have, in many cases, led to confused and contradictory results. It was not until 1858 that accounts, in any way satisfactory, were given of the chief features of palaeozoic sharks, In this year there appeared almost simul- taneously, a description of the Carboniferous Pleuracanthus by Brongniart,' of the Lower Carboniferous Chondrenchelys and Cladodus (pectoral fin) by Traquair,Z, 147 of a Cladodont shark from the Ohio Waverly by Newberry,3 and of the pectoral fin of Xenacanthus by Fritsch.4 Subsequent papers of especial importance morphologically were contributed by Fritsch,$?6 Doderlein,'/ Smith Woodward,x, 9 Newberry,IO WiedersheimI 1 and Jaekel.Iz,I3 The sharks discussed at that time by Newberry were received from Rev. Dr. William Kepler of New London, Ohio. They had been collected at Linton, and represented the remains of about six individuals. The remarkable characters they exhibited proved in no small degree puzzling to their describer. The dentition was undoubtedly Cladodont and the name Cladodzu was retained, although it was clearly recognized that a number of genera and even families might be represented by this generalized type of dentition, and that a new genus might be assigned when more material of the type (Cladodus mirubiZis) should be found.
