New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Bulletin 60. 1 THE CONODONT NEOGNATHODUS BOTHROPS MERRILL, 1972 AS THE MARKER FOR THE LOWER BOUNDARY OF THE MOSCOVIAN STAGE (MIDDLE PENNSYLVANIAN) ALEXANDER S. ALEKSEEV1 AND NATALIA V. GOREVA 2 1 Department of Paleontology, Geological Faculty, Moscow State University, Russia, email: aaleks@geol. msu.ru; 2 Geological institute of Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia, email: [email protected] Abstract—The Moscovian Stage constitutes the Middle Pennsylvanian Series of the Carboniferous System, but a biostratigraphic marker and GSSP for it have not yet been designated. The exact position of the Moscovian boundary cannot be defined properly because in the type area the basal Vereian unconformably overlies the Mississippian limestone or the alluvial and lagoonal Aza Formation of the uppermost Bashkirian. The Task Group to establish a GSSP close to the existing Bashkirian-Moscovian boundary suggested several potential markers among foraminifers and conodonts, but the search for a marker near traditional base of the global Moscovian Stage has stalled. It may be more productive to search for FADs in the lower Moscovian, above the traditional base, to designate the lower boundary of the stage. Relatively rich Vereian and Kashirian conodont assemblages have been recovered from the southwest Moscow Basin, as well as from the Oka-Tsna Swell. The most complete information on the distribution of conodonts in the Vereian- Kashirian boundary interval was obtained from the Yambirno section (Oka-Tsna Swell). The greatest change in conodont assemblages does not occur near the level of the traditional base of the Moscovian, but stratigraphically higher. -

ABSTRACT Trace fossils are the result of animal behaviors, such as burrowing and feeding, recorded in the rock record. Previous research has been mainly on the systematic description of trace fossils and their paleoenvironmental implications, not how animal behaviors have evolved. This study analyzes behavioral evolution using the quantification of a group of trace fossils, termed graphoglyptids. Graphoglyptids are deep marine trace fossils, typically found preserved as casts on the bottom of turbidite beds. The analytical techniques performed on the graphoglyptids include calculating fractal dimension, branching angles, and tortuosity, among other analyses, for each individual trace fossil and were performed on over 400 trace fossils, ranging from the Cambrian to the modem. -

Two different tectono-stratigraphic domains are recognised in the Cantabrian Mountains, Asturian-Leo- nese (Cantabrian Zone) and Palentian (Palentian Zone). The area under investigation belongs to the south- ern part of the Palentian Domain and attention is focused on the Upper Viséan to lowermost Bashkirian limestones at the village of La Lastra in northern Palencia. A new geological map of the Palentian Zone is accompanied by a more detailed map centred on La Lastra. The Barcaliente Limestone Formation (Ser- pukhovian to lowermost Bashkirian) occurs in the overturned limb of a recumbent anticline which consti- tutes the head of a south-verging major thrust unit, the Carrionas Thrust Sheet (Palentian Zone). -

A Combined Petrographical-Geochemical Provenance Study of the Newland Formation, Mid-Proterozoic of Montana
223 A combined petrographical-geochemical provenance study of the Newland Formation, Mid-Proterozoic of Montana JüRGEN SCHIEBER Department of Geology, The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), Arlington, Texas 76019, U.S.A. Abstract - A provenance study was conducted on the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation, in which petrographical features of sandstones and geochemical characteristics of shales were integrated to arrive at an internally consistent interpretation. Sandstones of the Newland Formation are typically arkosic sands and arkoses with very well rounded quartz and feldspar grains and only minor amounts of extrabasinal rock fragments. The predominant feldspar types are K-spar and microcline, feldspar grains are smaller than quartz grains, and feldspars show little alteration due to weathering. Detrital modes of Newland sandstones (QFL diagrams) indicate that they were derived from a stable cratonic source. These petrographical features imply a source area dominated by granites and granitoid gneisses, semi-arid to arid climate, tectonic quiescence and overall peneplain conditions. Shales of the Newland Formation are dominated by illite, quartz silt, and fine crystalline dolomite. They have small La/Th rations, relatively large Hf contents, and small contents of Cr, Co, and Ni, all indicative of derivation from crust of granitic composition. Small TiO2/AI2O3 ratios also suggest source rocks of granitic composition. The average chemical index of alteration (CIA) for Newland shales is 71.8, which in light of the probable granitoid source indicates modest amounts of chemical weathering. Relatively large Si02 contents and large K20/Na20 ratios reflect derivation from stable cratonic areas and tectonic quiescence. Thus, in general, the petrography of sandstones and geochemistry of shales provides the same provenance clues for the Newland Formation. -

Palaeontology and stratigraphy of the inoceramid species from the mid-Turonian through upper Middle Coniacian in Japan. Acta Geologica Polonica, 48 (4),435-482. Warszawa. Upper Cretaceous strata are weIl exposed in many areas of Japan, although good exposures through the Turonian/Coniacian boundary are not common. This paper focuses on six areas in Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kyushu and documents the stratigraphical distributions of inoceramid species. These data are used to summarise the stratigraphical ranges of Turonian/Coniacian taxa in Japan. In part 1 of the paper, 17 species are described, with some biometric data and phylogenetic interpretation. These species are: Inoceramus (1noceramus) hobetsensis NAGAO & MATSUMOTO, I. (1.) teshioensis NAGAO & MATSUMOTO, 1. (1.) iburiensis NAGAO & MATSUMOTO, I. (1.) tenuistriatus NAGAO & MATSUMOTO, I. (1.) pedalionoides NAGAO & MATSUMOTO, I. (1.) lusatiae ANDERT, I.
