Geobiologie, Goldschmidtstraße 3. 37077 Göttingen, Germany. E-mail: *[email protected] Abstract In this paper we describe four new fossil associations of “reef” and “reef”-like environments of the St. Cassian Formation (Ladinian-Carnian, Dolomites, NE Italy), based on thirty thin sections from 10 “Cipit boulders” olistoliths, which slided from the Cassian platform into coeval basin sediments. The fossil associations were determined by means of microfacies analysis using point-counting and visual estimation, as well as with aid of statistical methods, based on all fractions with a biotic significance (biomorpha and microbialites). Cluster Analyses in Q-Mode were performed, coupling three algorithms and two indices. In all samples, the main components of the framework are microbialite (average of 75%), and macrofossils (average of 20%), whereas cements and allochtonous components, such as allomicrite, do not represent a significant fraction. Based on both microbialite and fossil content, Chaetetid–microencruster Association, Microbialite–microencruster Association, Dual-type Microbialite Association and Microbialite–Terebella Association, were differentiated.

  • Drivers of Beta Diversity in Modern and Ancient Reef-Associated Soft-Bottom Environments
    Drivers of beta diversity in modern and ancient reef-associated soft-bottom environments Vanessa Julie Roden1, Martin Zuschin2, Alexander Nützel3,4,5, Imelda M. Hausmann3,4 and Wolfgang Kiessling1 1 GeoZentrum Nordbayern, Section Paleobiology, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany 2 Department of Palaeontology, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria 3 SNSB—Bayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie, Munich, Germany 4 Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Munich, Germany 5 GeoBio-Center, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Munich, Germany ABSTRACT Beta diversity, the compositional variation among communities, is often associated with environmental gradients. Other drivers of beta diversity include stochastic processes, priority effects, predation, or competitive exclusion. Temporal turnover may also explain differences in faunal composition between fossil assemblages. To assess the drivers of beta diversity in reef-associated soft-bottom environments, we investigate community patterns in a Middle to Late Triassic reef basin assemblage from the Cassian Formation in the Dolomites, Northern Italy, and compare results with a Recent reef basin assemblage from the Northern Bay of Safaga, Red Sea, Egypt. We evaluate beta diversity with regard to age, water depth, and spatial distance, and compare the results with a null model to evaluate the stochasticity of these differences. Using pairwise proportional dissimilarity, we find very high beta diversity for the Cassian Formation (0.91 ± 0.02) and slightly lower beta diversity for the Bay of Safaga (0.89 ± 0.04). Null models show that stochasticity only plays a minor role in determining faunal differences. Spatial distance is also irrelevant. Contrary to expectations, there is no tendency of beta Submitted 26 September 2019 Accepted 16 April 2020 diversity to decrease with water depth.

  • The Geologic Time Scale Is the Eon
    Exploring Geologic Time Poster Illustrated Teacher's Guide #35-1145 Paper #35-1146 Laminated Background Geologic Time Scale Basics The history of the Earth covers a vast expanse of time, so scientists divide it into smaller sections that are associ- ated with particular events that have occurred in the past.The approximate time range of each time span is shown on the poster.The largest time span of the geologic time scale is the eon. It is an indefinitely long period of time that contains at least two eras. Geologic time is divided into two eons.The more ancient eon is called the Precambrian, and the more recent is the Phanerozoic. Each eon is subdivided into smaller spans called eras.The Precambrian eon is divided from most ancient into the Hadean era, Archean era, and Proterozoic era. See Figure 1. Precambrian Eon Proterozoic Era 2500 - 550 million years ago Archaean Era 3800 - 2500 million years ago Hadean Era 4600 - 3800 million years ago Figure 1. Eras of the Precambrian Eon Single-celled and simple multicelled organisms first developed during the Precambrian eon. There are many fos- sils from this time because the sea-dwelling creatures were trapped in sediments and preserved. The Phanerozoic eon is subdivided into three eras – the Paleozoic era, Mesozoic era, and Cenozoic era. An era is often divided into several smaller time spans called periods. For example, the Paleozoic era is divided into the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous,and Permian periods. Paleozoic Era Permian Period 300 - 250 million years ago Carboniferous Period 350 - 300 million years ago Devonian Period 400 - 350 million years ago Silurian Period 450 - 400 million years ago Ordovician Period 500 - 450 million years ago Cambrian Period 550 - 500 million years ago Figure 2.

  • The Cenozoic Era - Nýlífsöld 65 MY-Present Jarðsaga 2 Ólafur Ingólfsson Origin of the Term: the Tertiary Tertiary System
    The Cenozoic Era - Nýlífsöld 65 MY-Present Jarðsaga 2 Ólafur Ingólfsson Origin of the Term: The Tertiary Tertiary System. [1760] Named by Giovanni Arduino Period as the uppermost part of his 65-1.8 MY three-fold subdivision of mountains in northern Italy. The Tertiary became a formal period and system when Lyell published his work describing further subdivisions of the Tertiary. The Tertiary Period is divided into five epochs (tímar): Paleocene (65-56 MY), Eocene (56-34 MY), Oligocene (34-24 MY), Miocene (24-5,3 MY), and Pliocene (5,3-1,8 MY). Confusing set of stratigraphic terms... More than 95% of the Cenozoic era belongs to the Tertiary period. During the 18th century the names Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary were given by Giovanni Arduino to successive rock strata, the Primary being the oldest, the Tertiary the more recent. In 1829 a fourth division, the Quaternary, was added by P. G. Desnoyers. These terms were later abandoned, the Primary becoming the Paleozoic Era, and the Secondary the Mesozoic. But Tertiary and Quaternary were retained for the two main stages of the Cenozoic. Attempts to replace the "Tertiary" with a more reasonable division of “Palaeogene” (early Tertiary) and “Neogene” (later Tertiary and Quaternary) have not been very successful. Stanley uses this division. The World at the K/T Boundary Paleocene plate tectonics During the Paleocene, the inland seas of the Cretaceous Period dry up, exposing large land areas in North America and Eurasia. Australia begins to separate from Antarctica, and Greenland splits from North America. A remnant Tethys Sea persists in the equatorial region.

  • Calcareous Nannofossil Zonation and Sequence Stratigraphy of the Jurassic System, Onshore Kuwait
    GeoArabia, 2015, v. 20, no. 4, p. 125-180 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Calcareous nannofossil zonation and sequence stratigraphy of the Jurassic System, onshore Kuwait Adi P. Kadar, Thomas De Keyser, Nilotpaul Neog and Khalaf A. Karam (with contributions from Yves-Michel Le Nindre and Roger B. Davies) ABSTRACT This paper presents the calcareous nannofossil zonation of the Middle and Upper Jurassic of onshore Kuwait and formalizes current stratigraphic nomenclature. It also interprets the positions of the Jurassic Arabian Plate maximum flooding surfaces (MFS J10 to J110 of Sharland et al., 2001) and sequence boundaries in Kuwait, and correlates them to those in central Saudi Arabia outcrops. This study integrates data from about 400 core samples from 11 wells representing a nearly complete Middle to Upper Jurassic stratigraphic succession. Forty-two nannofossil species were identified using optical microscope techniques. The assemblage contains Tethyan nannofossil markers, which allow application of the Jurassic Tethyan nannofossil biozones. Six zones and five subzones, ranging in age from Middle Aalenian to Kimmeridgian, are established using first and last occurrence events of diagnostic calcareous nannofossil species. A chronostratigraphy of the studied formations is presented, using the revised formal stratigraphic nomenclature. The Marrat Formation is barren of nannofossils. Based on previous studies it is dated as Late Sinemurian–Early Aalenian and contains Middle Toarcian MFS J10. The overlying Dhruma Formation is Middle or Late Aalenian (Zone NJT 8c) or older, to Late Bajocian (Subzone NJT 10a), and contains Lower Bajocian MFS J20. The overlying Sargelu Formation consists of the Late Bajocian (Subzone NJT 10b) Sargelu-Dhruma Transition, and mostly barren Sargelu Limestone in which we place Lower Bathonian MFS J30 near its base.

Cretaceous decapods are reported from Puerto Rico for the first time, and the Cretaceous fauna is similar to that of southern Mexico. Herein is included the first report of Pleistocene decapods from Puerto Rico, which were previously known from other Caribbean localities. The Pleistocene Cardisoma guanhumi is a freshwater crab of the family Gecarcinidae. The freshwater crab families have a poor fossil record; thus, the occurrence is noteworthy and may document dispersal of the crab by humans. Key words: Decapoda, Thalassinidea, Brachyura, Puerto Rico, Cretaceous, Paleogene, Neogene. Introduction than Eocene are not separated by these fault zones and even overlie parts of the fault zones in some areas (Jolly et al., 1998).

  • Catalogue of Type Fossils in the Geological Museum at the Ohio State University
    CATALOGUE OF TYPE FOSSILS IN THE GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. HELEN MORNINGSTAR Department of Geology, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION. The following catalogue consists of an alphabetic list of all fossil types (holotypes, paratypes, and cotypes), all subsequently described and figured specimens (plesiotypes), as well as artificial models of type fossils (plastotypes) in the Geological Museum of The Ohio State University. It is patterned directly after the catalogue compiled by Dr. Charles Schuchert, assisted by W. H. Dall, T. W. Stanton, and R. S. Bassler, for the fossil invertebrates in the United States National Museum.1 The catalogue is designed for the convenience of workers in Paleontology and in response to a constant inquiry for informa- tion concerning type specimens of Ohio fossils. Unfortunately, many of the type fossils thought to be located here, according to statements in the older reports of the Geological Survey of Ohio, are missing, and although some of them may have been lost at some former time, it seems probable that many have never been placed in this Museum, but have found their way into other collections. An attempt is now being made to recover as many as possible of the types which have been described in the reports of the Geological Survey of Ohio, and any information concerning tHe location of such specimens will be appreciated. The work of collecting the data for the following catalogue of type fossils extended over a period of several years during which the writer has been engaged in identifying and reclassify- ing the paleontological material in the Geological Museum at The Ohio State University.
