    September 16, 2011: Oh My (Brittle) Stars! Again Ms. Brett and I drove by many Hochsitz lining area corn fields and showed up right on time at 9 a.m. to meet with our fossil guide, Wolfgang Mages, once again in the Plattenkalk limestone, but this time slightly higher in section, still Tithonian, 146 MYA. Our quarry this time: Sinosura kelheimense and Ophioptera lithographica brittlestars. And once again characteristic of the Solnhofen area, hard digging was required to lay hands on prized fossils. The site had been worked hard by others for quite some time, so Wolfgang found the need to hunt around a bit to locate an accessible portion of the very specific brittlestar bearing layers which were 1.5 cm apart. In the meantime Brett and I messed around splitting slabs on the spoil piles, and in the process I located first the front half of a small fish, then a slab of several brittlestars…nice find, but coming from a spoil pile, it left me no direction in making more similar finds as all the limestone looked the same.

Wolfgang was a hard digger and his example motivated me to do the same, and at about that time another local collector named Klaus showed up with his dog and we all (well maybe not the dog) jumped into a hole in the ground and proceeded to removed cubic meters of overburden to access the brittlestar layers.

März 2003 Lioceratoides sp. indet., ein mediterranes Faunenelement aus der Pleuroceras apyrenum-Subzone (Ober-Pliensbachium) von Ennigloh bei Bünde Siegfried Schubert1 und Rudolf Fischer2 Kurzfassung Vor einigen Jahren wurde im Raum Bünde eine neue Tongrube in Betrieb genommen. Sie erschloss Ton­ steine mit Ammoniten aus der Familie der Amaltheidae, wie sie aus der margaritatus - und der spinatum­ Zone des Ober - Pliensbachiums (Domerium) des epikontinentalen Lias - Meeres in NW - Europa allgemein bekannt sind. Ihnen beigesellt ist ein Einzelfund von Lioceratoides sp. indet. (Farn. Hildoceratidae). Die Gattung ist im mediterranen Domerium artenreich vertreten; für den nw - europäischen Raum bedeutet der Fund von Lioceratoides sp. indet. den Erstnachweis. Abstract A section through claystone with intercalated layers of clay ironstone concretions was exposed within a clay pit in the nearer surroundings of Bünde (Westfalia, NW-Germany). Ammonites of the family Amal­ theidae are frequent and indicate the Domerian age (margaritatus- to spinatum-zones) of the series. Among the ammonites, the find of a single specimen of Lioceratoides sp. indet. is of special interest, for being the first find of that mediterranean taxon within the epicontinental environment of the Northwest - European faunal province. Resume II y a quelques annees une glaisiere situee pres de la cite de Bünde, presentait une coupe de roclles argilleuses, contenant ammonites de la famille domerienne des Amaltheidae, generalement connues dans couches de l'ocean epicontinental du Nord-Quest Europe. Une exemplaire singulier de Lioceratoi­ des sp. indet. etait associe au groupe des Amaltheidae. Sa decouverte signifie la preuve initiale du genre, generalement restringue a l'ocean mediterrane, en dehors de cette region.
  • Form and Formation of Flares and Parabolae Based on New Observations of the Internal Shell Structure in Lytoceratid and Perisphinctid Ammonoids

    Form and Formation of Flares and Parabolae Based on New Observations of the Internal Shell Structure in Lytoceratid and Perisphinctid Ammonoids

    Editors' choice Form and formation of flares and parabolae based on new observations of the internal shell structure in lytoceratid and perisphinctid ammonoids GREGOR RADTKE, RENÉ HOFFMANN, and HELMUT KEUPP Radtke, G., Hoffmann, R., and Keupp, H. 2016. Form and formation of flares and parabolae based on new observations of the internal shell structure in lytoceratid and perisphinctid ammonoids. Acta Palaentologica Polonica 61 (3): 503–517. The ultrastructure of pristine shells of Jurassic and Cretaceous lytoceratid and perisphinctid ammonoids indicates that flares and parabolae represent homologous structures. Both mark an interruption of shell growth. We dismiss earlier interpretations of parabolae as actual aperture, relics of resorbed apophyses or superstructure of the musculature associ- ated to a semi-internal shell. Instead we propose an episodic growth model including several growth stops at the aperture during the formation of a frill-like aperture for parabolae and flares. Such an aperture is composed of the outer prismatic layer, the nacreous layer and an apertural prismatic coating. Here, we observed the apertural prismatic coating for the first time as an integral part of flares and parabolae. The apertural prismatic coating covers only the inner surface of the frill and was secreted by a permanent mantle cover indicating a prolonged period without the production of new shell material. Parabolae differ from flares by their general shape and the presence of ventro-lateral parabolic notches and nodes. The notches were formed by folding of the frill and had the potential to form semi-open spines. The corresponding parabolic nodes are caused by an outward swelling of the shell-secreting mantle tissue producing new shell material at the position of the folding.

    Earliest Jurassic Patellogastropod, Vetigastropod, and Neritimorph Gastropods from Luxembourg with Considerations on the Triassic–Jurassic Faunal Turnover

    Earliest Jurassic patellogastropod, vetigastropod, and neritimorph gastropods from Luxembourg with considerations on the Triassic–Jurassic faunal turnover STEFANO MONARI, MARA VALENTINI, and MARIA ALESSANDRA CONTI Monari, S., Valentini, M., and Conti, M.A. 2011. Earliest Jurassic patellogastropod, vetigastropod, and neritimorph gas− tropods from Luxembourg with considerations on the Triassic–Jurassic faunal turnover. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 56 (2): 349–384. The Hettangian to earliest Sinemurian Vetigastropoda, Patellogastropoda, and Neritimorpha housed in the National Mu− seum of Natural History of Luxembourg are studied. Most of the species comes from the Luxembourg Sandstone Forma− tion. This deposit formed along the southern margin of the London−Brabant−Ardennes Landmass, in a region that during the earliest Jurassic constituted a seaway connecting the Paris Basin with the epicontinental seas of the Netherlands and northern Germany. The systematic analysis revealed high diversity of the studied fauna; we identified twenty−two species, eleven genera, nine families, and six superfamilies. A new genus, Meiersia gen. nov., and three new species, Anodomaria schroederi sp. nov., Meiersia disarmata sp. nov., and Spirocirrus weisi sp. nov. are described. The fauna is dominated by pleurotomarioideans representing the genera Ptychomphalus, Pleurotomaria,andTrochotoma, and by the patellogastropod genus Scurriopsis both in number of species and specimens. The neritimorph genus Neridomus is also well represented. Among the accessory taxa, Anodomaria and Spirocirrus first appeared in the Late Hettangian of the Luxembourg area. Most of these genera show a species radiation in the Early Jurassic and are distributed over the western European epicontinental shelf, probably favoured by an east to west marine transgression which influenced wide areas from the basins of the northern Germany to the Paris Basin through the Luxembourg seaway.

(2000): Goniasmidae and orthonemidae: two new fami- lies of the Palaeozoic Caenogastropoda (Mollusca, Gastropoda). - N. Jb. Geol. Paláont. Mh., 2000: 557 -569, Stuttgart. Abstract: Two families of late Palaeozoic caenogastropods (Cerithimorpha) are newly introduced: Goniasmidae and Orthonemidae. They comprise high-spired gastropods with a protoconch morphology distinctly different from that of other Palaeozoic gastropods and similar to that of some modern Cerithioidea. The genera of the Palaeozoic Cerithimorpha were formerly included in the families Murchi- oniidae, Acanthonematidae, and Turritellidae. However, Murchisonia is not a caeno- gastropod but an archaeogastropod as is indicated by its protoconch morphology. The family Acanthonematidae is based on the unsufficiently known, problematic Devonian genus Acanthonema. The Turritellidae represent a modern group which originates in the late Mesozoic. Zusammenfassung: Die zwei neuen spátpa|áozoischen Familien Goniasmidae und Orthonemidae werden benannt. Sie umfassen hochturmlormige Caenogastropoden, deren Protoconch sich von den Protoconchen anderer paláozoischer Caenogastro- poden deutlich unterscheidet. Der Protoconch der Goniasmidae und Orthonemidae ist weitgehend glatt, umfasst bis zu drei gerundete Windungen und ist von helici- former Gestalt. Dieser Protoconchtyp áhnelt dem mancher moderner Cerithioidea; daher werden die beiden neuen Familien in die Ordnung Cerithimorpha gestellt. Die Goniasmidae besitzen einen Sinus oder Schlitz in der AuBenlippe des Teleoconchs, wáhrend die AuBenlippe der orthonemidae mehr oder weniger gerade verláuft. Die Gattungen der Goniasmidae, Goniasma, Stegocoelia wd Cerithioides, wurden bisher den Murchisoniidae zugeordnet.

The ammonite fauna and some stratigraphically important ostracods found therein are listed. All 5 subzones of the Upper Pliensbachian are identi- fied, base and top are well defined. Therefore the type locality chosen by Oppel (1856—1858) meets the requirements of the stratigraphic code of today. 1. Introduction Oppel (1856, p. 815) renamed d'Orbigny's „etage liasien" Pliensbachian after the little village Pliensbach (district Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg) and a little brook bearing the same name. Oppel divides this stage into 6 zones and particu- larly emphasizes the first appearance of Amaltkeus margaritatus. Therefore the natural division into two parts has already been recorded by Oppel. Moreover, he noted that in most areas this stage has been divided lithologically into two forma- tions, in SW-Germany into „Numismalismergel" („Schwarzer Jura y") and „Amal- theenton" („Schwarzer Jura d").

    WORKSHEET ANSWER KEY for grades 4 to 7 FOUNDATIONS 1. Fossilization occurs when a dead organism (plant or animal) is buried by sediment. This usually happens very soon after death as scavengers, bacteria, and other decomposers will break down the organism, preventing it from fossilizing. There are many different types of fossils; each one is dependent on the conditions in which the organism is buried, and what conditions it experiences over time. KINDS OF FOSSILS Colour patterns: Some fossils can still have pigment showing patterns present on the organism during life (i.e., fossil seashells, insects, feathers, skin). Skin impressions: Pattern left behind in the rock from the skin of an animal. They show the texture of the skin and arrangement of scales (i.e., dinosaur skin impressions). Mold: a void left in the rock after the organism has dissolved/decayed. Cast: a copy of the interior of an organism cause by sediment infilling (i.e., Pleuroceras spinatum shell). Unaltered organic material: This type can be seen in areas were permafrost is common or where conditions are very dry. The organism is preserved by desiccation (the process of extreme drying) or freezing; exposure to atmospheric conditions can cause them to decay (i.e., plant shells, Siberian mammals). Permineralization: The replacement of organic material by minerals. The minerals slowly fill the pores within the object being fossilized and the original organic material disappears leaving a three-dimensional copy. Unlike a cast fossil, detailed internal structures will remain (i.e., petrified wood, dinosaur bones, Centrosaurus apertus tibia). Carbonization: When organic material is compressed, it can leave a film of carbon behind.

Among the regeneration-competent species, the actual ability to restore the full form and function of the injured tissue varies greatly, from species being able to undergo whole-body and internal organ regeneration, to instances in which this ability is limited to a few tissues. Among invertebrates, cephalopod mollusks retain the ability to regenerate several structures (i.e., muscles, nerves, or entire appendages). Here we provide an overview of more than one-hundred studies carried out over the last 160 years of research. Despite the great effort, many aspects of tissue regeneration in Edited by: cephalopods, including the associated molecular and cellular machinery, remain largely Fernando Ariel Genta, unexplored. Our approach is largely descriptive and aims to provide a reference to prior Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), Brazil work thus to facilitate future research efforts.
