    A new species of Tiaracrinus from the latest Emsian of Morocco and its phylogeny CHRISTIAN KLUG, KENNETH DE BAETS, CAROLE JUNE NAGLIK, and JOHNNY WATERS Klug, C., De Baets, K., Naglik, C.J., and Waters, J. 2014. A new species of Tiaracrinus from the latest Emsian of Morocco and its phylogeny. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (1): 135–145. We describe a new species of the unusual crinoid Tiaracrinus, T. jeanlemenni sp. nov. from the latest Emsian of the fa- mous mudmound locality Hamar Laghdad, Morocco. It differs from the previously known species in the higher number of ribs and the vaulted rib-fields, which is corroborated by the comparison of simple quantitative characters and ratios as well as by the results of a cluster analysis and a Principal Component Analysis. Based on the new material and the published specimens, we discuss the phylogeny of the genus and suggest that T. oehlerti and T. moravicus represent the ancestral forms of this small clade.

  • Comments on the GSSP for the Basal Emsian Stage Boundary: the Need for Its Redefinition
    Comments on the GSSP for the basal Emsian stage boundary: the need for its redefinition PETER CARLS, LADISLAV SLAVÍK & JOSÉ I. VALENZUELA-RÍOS The redefinition of the lower boundary of a traditional stage by means of a GSSP must be adapted as closely as practica- ble to the traditional boundary level because divergence between the original sense of the stage concept and name and the new GSSP creates confusing nomenclature. The present GSSP for the lower boundary of the Emsian Stage in the Zinzilban section (Kitab Reserve, SE Uzbekistan) is too low in the section to fulfill this requirement. Accordingly, a re- definition of the boundary of the lower Emsian by the International Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy (SDS) and the IUGS Commission on Stratigraphy is necessary. A new GSSP must be defined at a higher level and this could be done in strata of the present stratotype area. The stratigraphic correlation of the traditional Lower Emsian boundary and the GSSP is based on Mauro-Ibero-Armorican and Rheno-Ardennan benthic and pelagic faunas. • Key words: Pragian-Emsian GSSP, Inter-regional correlation, biostratigraphy, GSSP redefinition.

  • Evaluating the Frasnian-Famennian Mass Extinction: Comparing Brachiopod Faunas
    Evaluating the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction: Comparing brachiopod faunas PAUL COPPER Copper, P. 1998. Evaluating the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction: Comparing bra- chiopod faunas.- Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 43,2,137-154. The Frasnian-Famennian (F-F) mass extinctions saw the global loss of all genera belonging to the tropically confined order Atrypida (and Pentamerida): though Famen- nian forms have been reported in the literafure, none can be confirmed. Losses were more severe during the Givetian (including the extinction of the suborder Davidsoniidina, and the reduction of the suborder Lissatrypidina to a single genus),but ońgination rates in the remaining suborder surviving into the Frasnian kept the group alive, though much reduced in biodiversity from the late Earb and Middle Devonian. In the terminal phases of the late Palmatolepis rhenana and P linguifurmis zones at the end of the Frasnian, during which the last few Atrypidae dechned, no new genera originated, and thus the Atrypida were extĘated. There is no evidence for an abrupt termination of all lineages at the F-F boundary, nor that the Atrypida were abundant at this time, since all groups were in decline and impoverished. Atypida were well established in dysaerobic, muddy substrate, reef lagoonal and off-reef deeper water settings in the late Givetian and Frasnian, alongside a range of brachiopod orders which sailed through the F-F boundary: tropical shelf anoxia or hypońa seems implausible as a cause for aĘpid extinction. Glacial-interglacial climate cycles recorded in South Ameńca for the Late Devonian, and their synchronous global cooling effect in low latitudes, as well as loss of the reef habitat and shelf area reduction, remain as the most likely combined scenarios for the mass extinction events.

  • The Eifelian Givetian Boundary (Middle Devonian) at Tsakhir, Govi Altai Region, Southern Mongolia

  • Stromatoporoid Diversity in the Devonian of the Ardennes: a Reinterpretation Pawel WOLNIEWICZ
    GEOLOGICA BELGICA (2012) 15/1-2: 3-7 Stromatoporoid diversity in the Devonian of the Ardennes: a reinterpretation Pawel WOLNIEWICZ Geological Institute, Adam Mickiewicz University, Makow Polnych 16, PL-61-606 Poznan, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Previous studies of the stromatoporoid palaeobiodiversity in the Devonian of the Ardennes are revised. The data set used in this study consists of 3416 specimens of 180 species. The rarefaction method was employed in order to reduce sampling bias in the diversity curves. The estimated stromatoporoid diversity reached its plateau in the Eifelian (Couvin Formation) and in the Givetian, and decreased during the Late Devonian. KEYWORDS: stromatoporoids, palaeobiodiversity, Eifelian, rarefaction, diversity curves 1. Introduction poor environmental conditions could result in a lower number of taxa. On the other hand the lack of numerous easily accessible outcrops of Devonian stromatoporoids (class Stromatoporoidea Nicholson & biostromes containing abundant stromatoporoids may also lead to a Murie, 1878) of the Ardennes and adjacent areas have been extensively further underestimation of the biodiversity documented in the fossil studied for the last 80 years, beginning from the pioneer works by Le record, since poorly exposed sedimentary rocks are sampled less Maître (1931, 1933) and Lecompte (1951, 1952), to the recent intensively (Peters & Foote, 2001). Raup (1976a, 1976b) concluded contributions by Mistiaen (2002), Hubert (2008) and Da Silva et al. that diversity trends and rock outcrop area are linked. Other studies (2011). Givetian and Frasnian stromatoporoid faunas received the (e.g. Miller & Foote, 1996) revealed that sampling problems indeed most extensive scientific attention (e.g. Lecompte 1951, 1952; Cornet, affect biodiversity curves.
