  • Palaeoenvironmental Interpretation of the Triassic Sandstones of Scrabo
    PALAEOENVIRONMENTAL INTERPRETATION OF THE TRIASSIC SANDSTONES OF SCRABO, COUNTY DOWN, NORTHERN IRELAND: ICHNOLOGICAL AND SEDIMENTOLOGICAL STUDIES INDICATING A MIXED FLUVIATILE-AEOLIAN SUCCESSION JAMES O. BUCKMAN, PHILIPS. DOUGHTY,MICHAEL J. BENTON and ANDREW J. JERAM (Received 19 May 1997) Abstract The Sherwood Sandstone Group at Scrabo, Co. Down, NorthernIreland, has been variously interpretedas aeolian or fluviatile. The sedimentological and ichnological data show that these sandstone-dominatedfacies were deposited within a mixed fluviatile-aeolian regime, in which fluviatile processes were responsible for the majorityof the preservedsedimentary sequence. The sequence contains a moderately diverse non-marine ichnofauna comprising the invertebratetrace fossils Biformites, Cruziana/Rusophycus(Isopodichnus), Herpystezoum(Unisulcus), Planolites, 'small arthropodtrackways', 'large arthropodtrackways' (cf. in part Paleohelcura), and the vertebrate trace fossil Chirotherium?

' FIFTH CONTRIBUTION TO NOMENCLATURE OF CAMBRIAN FOSSILS By CHARLES E. RESSER Curator, Division of Stratigraphic Paleonlolo<jy, U. S. National Museum This is the fifth in the series of papers designed to care for changes necessary in the names of Cambrian fossils. When the fourth paper was published it was hoped that further changes would be so few and so obvious that they could be incorporated in the Cambrian bibliographic summary, and would not be required to appear first in a separate paper. But even now it is impossible to gather all of the known errors for rectification in this paper. For example, correc- tion of some errors must await the opportunity to examine the speci- mens because the published illustrations, obviously showing incorrect generic determinations, are too poor to permit a proper understanding of the fossil. In the other instances where new generic designations are clearly indicated, erection of new genera should await the pub- lication of a paper with illustrations, because better-preserved speci- mens are in hand, or undescribed species portray the generic charac- teristics more fully and should therefore be chosen as the genotypes.

    Enrollment and coaptations in some sp eeies of the Ordovician trilobite genus Placoparia JEAN-LOUIS HENRY AND EUAN N.K. CLARKSON Henry, J.-L. & Clarkson, E.N.K. 1974 12 15: Enrollment and coaptations in some species of the Ordovician trilobite genus Placoparia. Fossils and Strata, No. 4, pp. 87-95. PIs. 1-3. Oslo ISSN 0300-949l. ISBN 82-00-04963-9. The species Pl. (Placoparia) cambriensis, Pl. (Coplacoparia ) tournemini and Pl. (Coplacoparia ) borni, described by Hammann (1971) from the Spanish Ordovician, are found in Brittany in formations attributed to the Llanvirn and the LIandeilo. The lateral borders of the librigenae of Pl. (Coplacoparia) tournemini and Pl. (Coplacoparia ) borni bear depressions into which the distal ends of the thoracic pleurae and the tips of the first pair of pygidial ribs come and fit during enrollment. These depressions, or coaptative structures sensu Cuenot (1919), are also to be observed in Pl. (Placoparia) zippei and Pl. (Hawleia) grandis, from the Ordovician of Bohemia. However, in the species tournemini and borni, additional depressions appear on the anterior cephalic border, and the coaptations evolve towards an increasing complexity. From Pl. (Placoparia) cambriensis, an ancestrai form with a wide geographic distribution, two distinct populations se em to have individu· alised by a process of allopatric speciation; one of these, probably neotenous, is represented by Pl. (Coplacoparia ) tournemini (Massif Armoricain and Iberian Peninsula), the other by Pl. (Placoparia ) zippei (Bohemia). Geo­ graphic isolation may be indirectly responsible for the appearance of new coaptative devices. jean-Louis Henry, Laboratoire de Paleontologie et de Stratigraphie, Institut de Geologie de l'Universite, B.P.

An easy-to-navigate pocket guide to the Meeting is also available to delegates. Venue The Annual Meeting will take place in the faculties of Philosophy and Philology on the Blasco Ibañez Campus of the University of Valencia. The Symposium will take place in the Salon Actos Manuel Sanchis Guarner in the Faculty of Philology. The main meeting will take place in this and a nearby lecture theatre (Salon Actos, Faculty of Philosophy). There is a Metro stop just a few metres from the campus that connects with the centre of the city in 5-10 minutes (Line 3-Facultats). Alternatively, the campus is a 20-25 minute walk from the ‘old town’. Registration Registration will be possible before and during the Symposium at the entrance to the Salon Actos in the Faculty of Philosophy. During the main meeting the registration desk will continue to be available in the Faculty of Philosophy. Oral Presentations All speakers (apart from the symposium speakers) have been allocated 15 minutes. It is therefore expected that you prepare to speak for no more than 12 minutes to allow time for questions and switching between presenters. We have a number of parallel sessions in nearby lecture theatres so timing will be especially important.

    Introduction to the Trilobites: Morphology, Ecology, Macroevolution and More By Michelle M. Casey1, Perry Kennard2, and Bruce S. Lieberman1, 3 1Biodiversity Institute, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, 66045, 2Earth Science Teacher, Southwest Middle School, USD497, and 3Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045 Middle level laboratory exercise for Earth or General Science; supported provided by National Science Foundation (NSF) grants DEB-1256993 and EF-1206757. Learning Goals and Pedagogy This lab is designed for middle level General Science or Earth Science classes. The learning goals for this lab are the following: 1) to familiarize students with the anatomy and terminology relating to trilobites; 2) to give students experience identifying morphologic structures on real fossil specimens 3) to highlight major events or trends in the evolutionary history and ecology of the Trilobita; and 4) to expose students to the study of macroevolution in the fossil record using trilobites as a case study. Introduction to the Trilobites The Trilobites are an extinct subphylum of the Arthropoda (the most diverse phylum on earth with nearly a million species described). Arthropoda also contains all fossil and living crustaceans, spiders, and insects as well as several other extinct groups. The trilobites were an extremely important and diverse type of marine invertebrates that lived during the Paleozoic Era. They only lived in the oceans but occurred in all types of marine environments, and ranged in size from less than a centimeter to almost a meter across. They were once one of the most successful of all animal groups and in certain fossil deposits, especially in the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian periods, they are extremely abundant.

Abstract Order Ptychopariida has always been a problematic group concerning the taxonomic classification of Cambrian trilobites, and even though the temporality of this group is well known, the relation between this order with others, and, the difficulty for classifying ptychopariids have let to diverse problems in the phylogenetic classification of this, and other primitive orders of trilobites. Agraulos is one of the genera belonging to this order and is a common group of the middle Cambrian, it is a well-known genus inside ptychopariids, therefore, morphological knowledge about this taxon could be helpful to analyze morphological patterns among other species from the genus and even other genera inside the family Agraulidae, and even more, about the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea.
