  • Message from the New Chairman
    Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy Newsletter No. 21 April, 2005 MESSAGE FROM THE NEW CHAIRMAN Dear SDS Members: This new Newsletter gives me the pleasant opportunity to thank you for your confidence which should allow me to lead our Devonian Subcommission successfully through the next four years until the next International Geological Congress in Norway. Ahmed El Hassani, as Vice-Chairman, and John Marshall, as our new Secretary, will assist and help me. As it has been our habit in the past, our outgoing chairman, Pierre Bultynck, has continued his duties until the end of the calendar year, and in the name of all the Subcommission, I like to express our warmest thanks to him for all his efforts, his enthusi- asm for our tasks, his patience with the often too slow progress of research, and for the humorous, well organized and skil- ful handling of our affairs, including our annual meetings. At the same time I like to thank all our outgoing Titular Members for their partly long-time service and I express my hope that they will continue their SDS work with the same interest and energy as Corresponding Members. The new ICS rules require a rather constant change of voting members and the change from TM to CM status should not necessarily be taken as an excuse to adopt the lifestyle of a “Devonian pensioner”. I see no reason why constantly active SDS members shouldn´t become TM again, at a later stage. On the other side, the rather strong exchange of voting members should bring in some fresh ideas and some shift towards modern stratigraphical tech- niques.

  • Shell Microstructures in Early Cambrian Molluscs
    Shell microstructures in Early Cambrian molluscs ARTEM KOUCHINSKY Kouchinsky, A. 2000. Shell microstructures in Early Cambrian molluscs. - Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 45,2, 119-150. The affinities of a considerable part of the earliest skeletal fossils are problematical, but investigation of their microstructures may be useful for understanding biomineralization mechanisms in early metazoans and helpful for their taxonomy. The skeletons of Early Cambrian mollusc-like organisms increased by marginal secretion of new growth lamel- lae or sclerites, the recognized basal elements of which were fibers of apparently aragon- ite. The juvenile part of some composite shells consisted of needle-like sclerites; the adult part was built of hollow leaf-like sclerites. A layer of mineralized prism-like units (low aragonitic prisms or flattened spherulites) surrounded by an organic matrix possibly existed in most of the shells with continuous walls. The distribution of initial points of the prism-like units on a periostracurn-like sheet and their growth rate were mostly regular. The units may be replicated on the surface of internal molds as shallow concave poly- gons, which may contain a more or less well-expressed tubercle in their center. Tubercles are often not enclosed in concave polygons and may co-occur with other types of tex- tures. Convex polygons seem to have resulted from decalcification of prism-like units. They do not co-occur with tubercles. The latter are interpreted as casts of pore channels in the wall possibly playing a role in biomineralization or pits serving as attachment sites of groups of mantle cells. Casts of fibers and/or lamellar units may overlap a polygonal tex- ture or occur without it.

Dornbos, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0740, [email protected] ABSTRACT The broad marine ecological settings prevalent during the late Neo- proterozoic–early Phanerozoic (600–500 Ma) interval of early metazoan body plan origination strongly impacted the subsequent evolution and development of benthic metazoans. Recent work demonstrates that late Neoproterozoic seafloor sediment had well-developed microbial mats and poorly developed, vertically oriented bioturbation, thus producing fairly stable, relatively low water content substrates and a sharp water-sediment interface. Later in the Cambrian, seafloors with microbial mats became increasingly scarce in shallow-marine environments, largely due to the evolution of burrowing organisms with an increasing vertically oriented component to their bioturba- tion. The evolutionary and ecological effects of these substrate changes on Figure 1. Looping and meandering trace fossil Taphrhelminthopsis, made by a large Early Cambrian benthic metazoans, referred to as the bioturbator, on a bedding plane from Lower Cambrian Poleta Formation, White-Inyo Mountains, California.
