Palaeontology and Biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Qihulin Dissertation Submitted to the Combined Faculties for the Natural Sciences and for Mathematics of the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences presented by Master of Science: Gang Li Born in: Heilongjiang, China Oral examination: 30 November 2001 Gedruckt mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes (Printed with the support of German Academic Exchange Service) Palaeontology and biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Qihulin Formation in eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China Referees: Prof. Dr. Peter Bengtson Prof. Pei-ji Chen This manuscript is produced only for examination as a doctoral dissertation and is not intended as a permanent scientific record. It is therefore not a publication in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Abstract The purpose of the study was to provide conclusive evidence for a chronostratigraphical assignment of the Qihulin Formation of the Longzhaogou Group exposed in Mishan and Hulin counties of eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China. To develop an integrated view of the formation, all collected fossil groups, i.e. the macrofossils (ammonites and bivalves) and microfossils (agglutinated foraminifers and radiolarians) have been studied. The low-diversity ammonite fauna consists of Pseudohaploceras Hyatt, 1900, and Eogaudryceras Spath, 1927, which indicate a Barremian–Aptian age. The bivalve fauna consists of eight genera and 16 species. The occurrence of Thracia rotundata (J. de C: Sowerby) suggests an Aptian age. The agglutinated foraminifers comprise ten genera and 16 species, including common Lower Cretaceous species such as Ammodiscus rotalarius Loeblich & Tappan, 1949, Cribrostomoides? nonioninoides (Reuss, 1836), Haplophragmoides concavus (Chapman, 1892), Trochommina depressa Lozo, 1944. The radiolarians comprise ten genera and 17 species, where Novixitus sp., Xitus cf. spicularius (Aliev, 1965), Archaeodictyomitra cf. vulgaris Pessagno, 1977, Stichomitra cf. tosaensis Nakaseko & Nishimura, 1981 all indicate an Early Cretaceous age. Thus the Qihulin Formation is assigned to the Barremian–Aptian. Key words: Barremian, Aptian, Qihulin Formation, Longzhaogou Group, Heilongjiang, China, ammonites, bivalves, agglutinated foraminifers, radiolarians. Contents 1.

In the eastern part of Heilongjiang Province, a succession of Lower Cretaceous coal- bearing, alternating marine and nonmarine rocks is exposed. It comprises the Jixi Group in the west and the Longzhaogou Group in the east (figure 1.1). Geologists and palaeontologists have extensively studied the succession over the past decades, not only because of its richness in coal, but also because fossils found in the marine intercalations may provide a reliable age to the succession. In addition, attention is focused on correlation with the nonmarine Jehol Group (table 2.1) to establish the position of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary, which in 1. Introduction 2 China is developed in nonmarine facies. The Jehol Group is widely known for the nonmarine Jehol fauna (Gu, 1962; Chen, 1988). In recent years the Jehol Group becomes more famous as an abundant source of remains of early birds (Hou et al., 1995; Hou et al., 1999; Hou & Chen, 1999) and theropod dinosaur with integumentary structures (Chen et al.,

  • Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: a Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values*
    Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: A Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values* Yang You† Harvard University This draft: July 2018 Abstract I use a quasi-random urban-dweller allocation in rural areas during Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement to identify human capital externalities in education, employment, and social values. First, rural residents acquired an additional 0.1-0.2 years of education from a 1% increase in the density of sent-down youth measured by the number of sent-down youth in 1969 over the population size in 1982. Second, as economic outcomes, people educated during the rustication period suffered from less non-agricultural employment in 1990. Conversely, in 2000, they enjoyed increased hiring in all non-agricultural occupations and lower unemployment. Third, sent-down youth changed the social values of rural residents who reported higher levels of trust, enhanced subjective well-being, altered trust from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine, and shifted job attitudes from objective cognitive assessments to affective job satisfaction. To explore the mechanism, I document that sent-down youth served as rural teachers with two new county-level datasets.

Gaudryceras hobetsense sp. nov. is described from the Nostoceras hetonaiense Zone (= lowest Maastrichtian) of the Hobetsu area, south-central Hokkaido, Northern Japan. Its shell is characterized by fine lirae on early whorls, distant rounded or flat-topped, narrow band-like ribs on middle and later whorls, and frequent collar-like ribs on later whorls. The occurrence of this new species strongly suggests the presence of lowest Maastrichtian strata in southern Alaska, and sheds light on the age delineation of the chronologically poorly defined beds in northern and eastern Hokkaido.

Taxonomic and ecological analysis of the ammonite assemblages, as well as their general paleogeographical setting, indicate that the Albian deposits in the Polish part of the Central European Basin accumulated under shallow or extremely shallow marine conditions, while those of the High-Tatra Swell were deposited in an open sea environment. The Boreal character of the ammonite faunas in the epicontinental area of Poland and the Tethyan character of those in the Tatra Mountains are evident in the composition of the analyzed assemblages.

  • Stratigraphic Implications of a New Lower Cretaceous Ammonoid Fauna from the Puez Area (Valanginian – Aptian, Dolomites, Southern Alps, Italy)
    Geo.Alp, Vol. 3, S. 55–83, 2006 STRATIGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS OF A NEW LOWER CRETACEOUS AMMONOID FAUNA FROM THE PUEZ AREA (VALANGINIAN – APTIAN, DOLOMITES, SOUTHERN ALPS, ITALY) Alexander Lukeneder1 & Christian Aspmair2 With 6 figures and 8 plates 1 Natural History Museum, Geological-Palaeontological Department, Burgring 7, A-1010 Wien, Austria, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Prissian 102, I – 39010 Tisens (BZ), Italy Abstract Lower Cretaceous ammonoids (n = 424) were collected at the Puez locality in the Dolomites of Southern Tyrol. The cephalopod fauna from the marly limestones to marls here indicates Late Valanginian to Early Aptian age. The deposition of the marly limestones and marls of this interval occurred during depositional- ly unstable conditions. The underlying Biancone Formation (Maiolica Formation) is of Early Valanginian, whereas the lowermost Rosso Ammonitico is of Jurassic to Berriasian age. The ammonoid fauna consists of 27 different genera, each represented by 1-2 species. The assemblage at the Puez section is dominated by the Phylloceratina (30%) and the Ammonitina (34%). Phyllopachyceras (17%) and Phylloceras (13%) (both Phylloceratina) are the most frequent components, followed by Lytoceras (12%) (Lytoceratina), and Barremites (10%) and Melchiorites (8%) (both Ammonitina). The cephalopod fauna is purely of Mediterranean origin. Zusammenfassung Unterkreide Ammonoideen (424 Exemplare) der Puez Lokalität in den Dolomiten Süd-Tirols wurden unter- sucht. Die Fauna der mergeligen Kalke und Mergel von Puez zeigen ein Alter von Ober-Valanginium bis Unter-Aptium an. Die mergeligen Kalke und Mergel dieses Abschnitts lagerten sich unter instabiler Bedingungen ab.

  • 12. Lower Cretaceous Ammonites from the South Atlantic Leg 40 (Dsdp), Their Stratigraphic Value and Sedimentologic Properties
    12. LOWER CRETACEOUS AMMONITES FROM THE SOUTH ATLANTIC LEG 40 (DSDP), THEIR STRATIGRAPHIC VALUE AND SEDIMENTOLOGIC PROPERTIES Jost Wiedmann and Joachim Neugebauer, Geol.-palaont. Institut der Universitat Tubingen, BRD ABSTRACT Eleven ammonites have been cored during Leg 40. They were found concentrated in the lower parts of the drilled section at Sites 363 (Walvis Ridge) and 364 (Angola Basin), and permit recognition of upper Albian, middle Albian, and upper Aptian. So far, no lower Albian could be recognized. A high ammonite density can be assumed for the South Atlantic Mid-Cretaceous. In contrast to data available so far, the Walvis Ridge associations consisting of phylloceratids and desmoceratids show more open- basin relationships than those of the Angola Basin, which are composed of mortoniceratids, desmoceratids, and heteromorphs. Paleobiogeographically, the South Atlantic fauna can be related to the well-known onshore faunas of Angola, South Africa, and Madagascar as well as to the European Mid-Cretaceous. This means that the opening of the South Atlantic and its connection with the North Atlantic occurred earlier as was generally presumed, i.e., in the middle Albian. Records of lower Aptian ammonite faunas from Gabon and Brazil remain doubtful. High rates of sedimentation prevailed especially in the Aptian and Albian, in connection with the early deepening of the South Atlantic basins. The mode of preservation of the ammonites suggests that they were deposited on the outer shelf or on the upper continental slope and were predominantly buried under sediments of slightly reducing conditions. In spite of a certain variability of the depositional environment, the ammonites show a uniform and particular mode of preservation.

In this study, the pole-axis system (involving multi-level central places and roads) was recognized as a proxy of direct risk to wetlands stemming from human activities at the regional or watershed scale. In this respect, the pole-axis system and central place theory were adopted to analyze the spatial agglomeration characteristics of regional human activities. Soil erosion and non-point source (NPS) pollution, indicating the indirect effect of human activities on wetlands, were also considered. Based on these human disturbance proxies, which are considered regional risk sources to wetlands, incorporated with another two indicators of regional environment, i.e., vulnerability and ecological capital indexes, the regional ecological risk assessment (RERA) framework of wetlands was finally established. Using this wetland RERA framework, the spatial heterogeneity
