Early Triassic marine fishes and reptiles Fish nodule therefore are key proxies in reconstructing the ecosystem recovery process after the end-Permian mass extinc- Redox condition tion. In South China, the Early Triassic Jurong fish fauna is the earliest marine vertebrate assemblage inthe Ecosystem recovery period. It is constrained as mid-late Smithian in age based on both conodont biostratigraphy and carbon Taphonomy isotopic correlations. The Jurong fishes are all preserved in calcareous nodules embedded in black shaleofthe Lower Triassic Lower Qinglong Formation, and the fauna comprises at least three genera of Paraseminotidae and Perleididae. The phosphatic fish bodies often show exceptionally preserved interior structures, including net- work structures of possible organ walls and cartilages. Microanalysis reveals the well-preserved micro-structures (i.e. collagen layers) of teleost scales and fish fins.

The fish described by Dean spines but now known from more complete re- as Ctenacanthus clarkii should be referred to C. mains. However, many other fossils, including compressus. Both C. clarkii and C. compressus isolated spines and complete fish, have been in- finspines are sufficiently like those of C. major cluded in Ctenacanthus, although the spines dif- for these species to remain within the genus. fer from those of the type species, C. major, and Ctenacanthus compressus is the only articulated from other presumably related species. Earlier Paleozoic shark so far described which can be diagnoses of Ctenacanthus are critically reviewed assigned to Ctenacanthus. Ctenacanthus costel- and the significance of previous diagnostic latus finspines are not like those of C. major, but changes is discussed.

The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known. There is still much difference of opinion on the phylogenetic position of these new Cambrian species, and many new discoveries and changes in early fish systematics may be expected over the next decade. As noted by Halanych (2004), D.-G. (D.) Shu and collaborators have discovered fossil ascidians (e.g., Cheungkongella), cephalochordate-like yunnanozoans (Haikouella and Yunnanozoon), and jaw- less craniates (Myllokunmingia, and its junior synonym Haikouichthys) over the 15 06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 16 16 Fishes of the World last few years that push the origins of these three major taxa at least into the Lower Cambrian (approximately 530–540 million years ago).

  • Chondrichthyan Teeth from the Early Triassic Paris Biota (Bear Lake County, Idaho, USA)

    Chondrichthyan Teeth from the Early Triassic Paris Biota (Bear Lake County, Idaho, USA)

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2019 Chondrichthyan teeth from the Early Triassic Paris Biota (Bear Lake County, Idaho, USA) Romano, Carlo ; Argyriou, Thodoris ; Krumenacker, L J Abstract: A new, diverse and complex Early Triassic assemblage was recently discovered west of the town of Paris, Idaho (Bear Lake County), USA. This assemblage has been coined the Paris Biota. Dated earliest Spathian (i.e., early late Olenekian), the Paris Biota provides further evidence that the biotic recovery from the end-Permian mass extinction was well underway ca. 1.3 million years after the event. This assemblage includes mainly invertebrates, but also vertebrate remains such as ichthyoliths (isolated skeletal remains of fishes). Here we describe first fossils of Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) from the Paris Biota. The material is composed of isolated teeth (mostly grinding teeth) preserved on two slabs and representing two distinct taxa. Due to incomplete preservation and morphological differences to known taxa, the chondrichthyans from the Paris Biota are provisionally kept in open nomenclature, as Hybodontiformes gen. et sp. indet. A and Hybodontiformes gen. et sp. indet. B, respectively. The present study adds a new occurrence to the chondrichthyan fossil record of the marine Early Triassic western USA Basin, from where other isolated teeth (Omanoselache, other Hybodontiformes) as well as fin spines of Nemacanthus (Neoselachii) and Pyknotylacanthus (Ctenachanthoidea) and denticles have been described previously.

Development and three-dimensional histology of vertebrate dermal fin spines. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1382. 53 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9596-1. Jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes) consist of two clades with living representatives, the chondricthyans (cartilaginous fish including sharks, rays, and chimaeras) and the osteichthyans (bony fish and tetrapods), and two fossil groups, the "placoderms" and "acanthodians". These extinct forms were thought to be monophyletic, but are now considered to be paraphyletic partly due to the discovery of early chondrichthyans and osteichthyans with characters that had been previously used to define them. Among these are fin spines, large dermal structures that, when present, sit anterior to both median and/or paired fins in many extant and fossil jawed vertebrates. Making comparisons among early gnathostomes is difficult since the early chondrichthyans and "acanthodians", which have less mineralized skeleton, do not have large dermal bones on their skulls. As a result, fossil fin spines are potential sources for phylogenetic characters that could help in the study of the gnathostome evolutionary history.

As always Progressive Palaeontology’s aim is to provide a framework in which to present ideas and discuss work with those at a similar stage in their career. In order to achieve this the Friday presentation session is supplemented by two social events and a field trip. On Thursday evening there is a pre-conference gathering at the Berkeley pub (opposite the department on Queen’s Road) and following the presentation sessions on Friday there will also be an evening reception/dinner at Bristol Zoo. This year’s field trip will be to Aust Cliff (a site famous for its Late Triassic fish fossils – see the brief guide at the end of this booklet). We are lucky to have two experts on this site joining us on the day and we have scheduled a reasonably late start so please do come along if you have registered! We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the following individuals who have helped in supporting, preparing and running this year’s meeting: The Palaeontological Association and the University of Bristol Alumni Foundation for providing sponsorship.

Kaplan Oxygen isotopes in phosphates of fossil fish-Devonian to Recent YEHOSHUAKOLODNYand BOAZLuz Department of Geology, The Institute of Earth Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel 18 Abstract-The isotopic composition of oxygen in the phosphate of apatite (/) 0p) was determined in 159 fish bones and teeth from museum collections throughout the world. The fossils were both marine and fresh water, ranging in age from Devonian to the Recent. In 45 of those we also determined 18 the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon of the lattice carbonate in apatite (/) 0c and /)13C). In most cases the isotopic results are compatible with previously available geological information: the difference between marine and fresh water, the indication of previously known warm and cold time periods, and the ranking of fishes from warm to cold according to their inferred life habitat. 18 18 The relationship between /) 0p and /) 0c suggests early diagenetic replacement of an originally phos- phatic phase by carbonate fluor apatite (CFA). The correlated latitudinal variation in /)180of meteoric 18 water and temperature should result in a small variation of /) 0p in fresh-water fish. The large range 18 in /) 0p of Recent fish is the outcome of the "altitude effect" (DANSGAARD, 1964), i.e. of the existence of post orogenic high altitudes.

Palynological analysis confirms a Norian age for the first one and a Rhaetian age for the second. A new species of neoselachian shark, Grozonodon candaui, is erected from isolated teeth of Norian age, based on their enameloid ultrastructure. Distinctive parallel-fibred enameloid is recognized among teeth previously assigned to Hybodus minor, which therefore represents another early neoselachian shark. These structural characteristics confirm the close relationship of hybodont and neoselachian sharks. 1. Introduction The site of Grozon is located 3.5 km north of the town of Poligny (Jura, Fig. 1) and was visited briefly by two of us (GC and JMM) in 1992 and 1994. It is a small disused quarry, belonging to the society Platrières de Grozon. This locality was cited more than a century ago by Henry (1876, p.
