  • A Stable Isotopic Investigation of Resource Partitioning Among Neosauropod Dinosaurs of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation
    A stable isotopic investigation of resource partitioning among neosauropod dinosaurs of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation Benjamin T. Breeden, III SID: 110305422 [email protected] GEOL394H University of Maryland, College Park, Department of Geology 29 April 2011 Advisors: Dr. Thomas R. Holtz1, Jr., Dr. Alan Jay Kaufman1, and Dr. Matthew T. Carrano2 1: University of Maryland, College Park, Department of Geology 2: National Museum of Natural History, Department of Paleobiology ABSTRACT For more than a century, morphological studies have been used to attempt to understand the partitioning of resources in the Morrison Fauna, particularly between members of the two major clades of neosauropod (long-necked, megaherbivorous) dinosaurs: Diplodocidae and Macronaria. While it is generally accepted that most macronarians fed 3-5m above the ground, the feeding habits of diplodocids are somewhat more enigmatic; it is not clear whether diplodocids fed higher or lower than macronarians. While many studies exploring sauropod resource portioning have focused on differences in the morphologies of the two groups, few have utilized geochemical evidence. Stable isotope geochemistry has become an increasingly common and reliable means of investigating paleoecological questions, and due to the resistance of tooth enamel to diagenetic alteration, fossil teeth can provide invaluable paleoecological and behavioral data that would be otherwise unobtainable. Studies in the Ituri Rainforest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, have shown that stable isotope ratios measured in the teeth of herbivores reflect the heights at which these animals fed in the forest due to isotopic variation in plants with height caused by differences in humidity at the forest floor and the top of the forest exposed to the atmosphere.

  • Critical Review of Research on the Lower Jurassic Flora of Poland
    Acta Palaeobotanica 53(2): 141–163, 2013 DOI: 10.2478/acpa-2013-0015 Critical review of research on the Lower Jurassic flora of Poland GRZEGORZ PACYNA Department of Palaeobotany and Palaeoherbarium, Institute of Botany, Jagiellonian University, Lubicz 46, 31-512 Kraków, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Received 7 October 2013; accepted for publication 5 December 2013 ABSTRACT. The Lower Jurassic plant macrofossils of Poland are poorly known. Relatively rich sources of fossils are found in only a few outcrops in the Holy Cross Mountains. Other described plant remains come from drill cores taken from most areas of Poland, but as a rule these are single specimens. The only professional descriptions of Lower Jurassic macroflora are papers by Raciborski, Makarewiczówna, and a team of researchers consisting of Reymanówna, Barbacka, Ziaja, and Wcisło-Luraniec. Raciborski’s fossil collection is still available for research and revision. Such work is in progress. The collection described by Makarewiczówna contained many interesting speci- mens but unfortunately the majority of them are now missing. Stratigraphic research by geologists has provided some new specimens from drill cores and outcrops in the Holy Cross Mountains but these have not been subjected to detailed palaeobotanical analysis. The palynology of the Lower Jurassic was focused on biostratigraphy from the outset of that research. As an outcome it provided spore-pollen and megaspore zonations for Lower Jurassic strata in Poland. The Polish Lower Jurassic flora is comprised of ferns (very numerous), lycopsids, sphenopsids, cycadaleans, bennettitaleans, gnetaleans, ginkgoaleans, and conifers. This flora is taxonomically poorer than the equally old and geographically close floras of Denmark, Sweden, and Germany.

  • ESI History Mk X
    Stephen Browning - ESI History Mk X. Googling Edison Holborn Viaduct and Ferranti Deptford finds all sorts of useful stuff. Also the "CEGB story' booklet is up on an AboutBlyth site and Glyn England's musings from 1982 (view from my Window) are on a South Western historical electricity site. Plus the main Electricity timeline document produced by the Electricity Council in 1987, Rob Cochrane's book Power to the People and various other sources. Looking at the current difficult situation we appear to be in, I've been digging around how Electricity delivery has progressed in GB. I thought you find this interesting..... There is a salutory lesson re excess capacity which really held us back until 1933, albeit at that time also with serious supply type diversity. Following on from Michael Faraday’s experiments, James Clerk Maxwell wrote his treatise on Electricity and Magnetism which was a bit hard to follow. However John Ambrose Fleming, the one student who sat through all of Clerk Maxwell’s lectures realised what was needed and came up with the Right Hand (Generation) and Left hand (Motor) rules. Motion at Right angles to Magnetic field with Electric field at 90 degrees to both. Hence the development of Dynamos (DC), Alternators (AC) and Motors (DC and AC) Much new Electricity Generation and Supply equipment was on show at the 1881 Paris Electrical Exposition and 1882 Crystal Palace Exhibition. Edison had by far the largest exhibit in Paris (including 'Jumbo' the 125hp monster generator). Edison and Swan displayed the new incandescent lamp. This engendered a number of projects which really kick started the Electricity revolution.

ABSTRACT Mesozoic sediments at Eriksdal in the valley of the Fyle river, SE Scania, southern Sweden have been investigated with regard to their contents of microspores and pollen grains. The microflora found confines the age of the sediments to the Bajocian and Bathonian. The first group of pollen grains and microspores, which confines the age deter­ mination to the Bajocian and Bathonian, is widely distributed in the Liassic but has its uppermost occurrence in different stages, preferably in the Bajocian or the Bathonian, of the Middle Jurassic in Europe. These are Concavisporites subgranu­ losus, Leptolepidites major, Lycopodiacidites rugulatus, Todisporites major, Cala­ mospora mesozoica, Trilites rariverrucatus, Eucommiidites granulosus, and Chas­ matosporites apertus.

ABSTRACT The Late Catbonifetous/Early Permian séquence in the Carnic Alps (Austria/ltaly) is a more than 2000 m thick succession of shallow matine clastic and carbonate sedimentaty rocks. The succession unconformably overlies rhe folded Variscan basement and is divided into Bombaso Fotmation, Auernig Group, Rartendotf Group and Trogkofel Group. Auernig Group and Rattendorf Group are charactetized by clastic-catbonate cycles related to Gondwana glacioeustatic sea level changes. Catbonates contain abundant fossils throughout the séquence, biostratigtaphy is mainly based on fusulinids. Fine-grained clastic intervais contain abundant plant fossils, allowing a close corrélation with fluvial succession of the Eastern Alps KEYWORDS (Stangnock Fotmation of the Gutktal Nappe). Fusulinids of the Carnic Alps Peri-Tethys, Late Carboniferous, show high similarity wirh those of the Russian Platfotm, Donets Basin and Early Permian, Ptedonets Trough, Southern Urals and particulatly with Central Asia. Carnic Alps, faciès, Uppermost Moscovian, Kasimovian, Gzhelian, lowermost Asselian, late biostratigraphy, Asselian, Sakmarian and Artinskian équivalents ate established and précise fusulinids, corrélation with sttatotype légions have been completed.

  • The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We Now
    VI. Ferns I: The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We now take up the ferns, order Marattiales - a group of large tropical ferns with primitive features - and subclass Polypodiidae, the leptosporangiate ferns. (See the PPG phylogeny on page 48a: Susan, Dave, and Michael, are authors.) Members of these two groups are spore-dispersed vascular plants with siphonosteles and megaphylls. A. Marattiales, an Order of Eusporangiate Ferns The Marattiales have a well-documented history. They first appear as tree ferns in the coal swamps right in there with Lepidodendron and Calamites. (They will feature in your second critical reading and writing assignment in this capacity!) The living species are prominent in some hot forests, both in tropical America and tropical Asia. They are very like the leptosporangiate ferns (Polypodiids), but they differ in having the common, primitive, thick-walled sporangium, the eusporangium, and in having a distinctive stele and root structure. 1. Living Plants Go with your TA to the greenhouse to view the potted Angiopteris. The largest of the Marattiales, mature Angiopteris plants bear fronds up to 30 feet in length! a.These plants, like all ferns, have megaphylls. These megaphylls are divided into leaflets called pinnae, which are often divided even further. The feather-like design of these leaves is common among the ferns, suggesting that ferns have some sort of narrow definition to the kinds of leaf design they can evolve. b. The leaflets are borne on stem-like axes called rachises, which, as you can see, have swollen bases on some of the plants in the lab.
