  • Chemostratigraphic Correlations Across the First Major Trilobite
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Chemostratigraphic correlations across the frst major trilobite extinction and faunal turnovers between Laurentia and South China Jih-Pai Lin 1*, Frederick A. Sundberg2, Ganqing Jiang3, Isabel P. Montañez4 & Thomas Wotte5 During Cambrian Stage 4 (~514 Ma) the oceans were widely populated with endemic trilobites and three major faunas can be distinguished: olenellids, redlichiids, and paradoxidids. The lower–middle Cambrian boundary in Laurentia was based on the frst major trilobite extinction event that is known as the Olenellid Biomere boundary. However, international correlation across this boundary (the Cambrian Series 2–Series 3 boundary) has been a challenge since the formal proposal of a four-series subdivision of the Cambrian System in 2005. Recently, the base of the international Cambrian Series 3 and of Stage 5 has been named as the base of the Miaolingian Series and Wuliuan Stage. This study provides detailed chemostratigraphy coupled with biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy across this critical boundary interval based on eight sections in North America and South China. Our results show robust isotopic evidence associated with major faunal turnovers across the Cambrian Series 2–Series 3 boundary in both Laurentia and South China. While the olenellid extinction event in Laurentia and the gradual extinction of redlichiids in South China are linked by an abrupt negative carbonate carbon excursion, the frst appearance datum of Oryctocephalus indicus is currently the best horizon to achieve correlation between the two regions. Te international correlation of the traditional lower–middle Cambrian boundary has been exceedingly difcult primarily due to apparent diachroniety of the datum species used to defne the boundary refecting the endemic faunas.

  • The Endemic Radiodonts of the Cambrian Stage 4 Guanshan Biota of South China
    Editors' choice The endemic radiodonts of the Cambrian Stage 4 Guanshan Biota of South China DE-GUANG JIAO, STEPHEN PATES, RUDY LEROSEY-AUBRIL, JAVIER ORTEGA-HERNÁNDEZ, JIE YANG, TIAN LAN, and XI-GUANG ZHANG Jiao, D.-G., Pates, S., Lerosey-Aubril, R., Ortega-Hernández, J., Yang, J., Lan, T., and Zhang, X.-G. 2021. The endemic radiodionts of the Cambrian Stage 4 Guanshan Biota of South China. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (2): 255–274. The Guanshan Biota (South China, Cambrian, Stage 4) contains a diverse assemblage of biomineralizing and non-biomin- eralizing animals. Sitting temporally between the Stage 3 Chengjiang and Wuliuan Kaili Biotas, the Guanshan Biota con- tains numerous fossil organisms that are exclusive to this exceptional deposit. The Guanshan Konservat-Lagerstätte is also unusual amongst Cambrian strata that preserve non-biomineralized material, as it was deposited in a relatively shallow water setting. In this contribution we double the diversity of radiodonts known from the Guanshan Biota from two to four, and describe the second species of Paranomalocaris. In addition, we report the first tamisiocaridid from South China, and confirm the presence of a tetraradial oral cone bearing small and large plates in “Anomalocaris” kunmingensis, the most abundant radiodont from the deposit. All four radiodont species, and three genera, are apparently endemic to the Guanshan Biota. When considered in the wider context of geographically and temporally comparable radiodont faunas, endemism in Guanshan radiodonts is most likely a consequence of the shallower and more proximal environment in which they lived. The strong coupling of free-swimming radiodonts and benthic communities underlines the complex relationship between the palaeobiogeographic and environmental distributions of prey and predators.

  • From the Franconian Forest, Germany, with a Review of the Bradoriids Described from West Gondwana and a Revision of Material from Baltica
    PalZ https://doi.org/10.1007/s12542-019-00448-z RESEARCH PAPER Middle Cambrian Bradoriida (Arthropoda) from the Franconian Forest, Germany, with a review of the bradoriids described from West Gondwana and a revision of material from Baltica Michael Streng1 · Gerd Geyer2 Received: 20 April 2018 / Accepted: 5 January 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Bradoriid arthropods (class Bradoriida) are described for the frst time from the lower–middle Cambrian boundary interval (regional Agdzian Stage) of the Franconian Forest in eastern Bavaria, Germany. The specimens originate from the Tan- nenknock and Triebenreuth formations, which are part of a shallow marine succession deposited at the margin of West Gondwana. Five diferent forms have been distinguished, Indiana af. dermatoides (Walcott), Indiana sp., Indota? sp., Pseudobeyrichona monile sp. nov., and an undetermined svealutid, all of which belong to families that have previously been reported from and are typical of West Gondwana. However, at the generic level, all taxa are new for the region. Indiana is typical of shallow marine environments. So far it has been reported from Laurentia, Avalonia, and Baltica, and is considered to characterize the paleogeographic vicinity of Cambrian continents. Pseudobeyrichona has previously only been recorded from South China, and its new occurrence corroborates previous documentation of taxa from South China in northern West Gondwana. The presence of Indiana as a typical “western” taxon and Pseudobeyrichona among other typical “eastern taxa” confrms the unique biogeographical position of West Gondwana. The poorly known Indiana anderssoni (Wiman) and Indiana minima Wiman from the late early Cambrian of Scandinavia have been restudied in order to re-evaluate the two species and to refne the defnition of Indiana.

This interval records unusually high rates of faunal turnover that produced a Marine redox “plateau” within the broader trajectory of rapidly increasing biodiversity seen across the Cambrian Explosion and Sedimentary redox Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE). The oceans during this time are generally thought to have Iron speciation been less oxygenated than later in the Phanerozoic, yet knowledge of oceanic redox structure and the influence DICE SPICE this exerted upon the biosphere remains limited. Importantly, this interval also encompasses two large carbon cycle perturbations—the DICE and SPICE events— that are thought to involve the expansion of anoxic and, more specifically euxinic regions in the ocean. Despite this supposition, direct characterization of redox conditions across this time remains limited.

The successions of the Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic difficult terrain combined with travel restrictions, successions of the Kashmir, Zanskar, Chamba and which required special administrative clearance Spiti basins are potential hydrocarbon source rock discouraged geological investigations in the Tethyan horizons. The Mesozoic successions include thick area. With improvement in the logistics and removal sequences of organic material rich argillaceous of restrictions, there is a spurt in geological activity in sediments. Some of the shales contain organic matter Spiti. The renewed activity in most instances was and could represent viable hydrocarbon source rocks, restricted to short duration due to limited period of while some of the limestones, dolomites and field work available in the high-altitude terrain.

Involving collaboration among specialist practitioners dedicated to supporting better implementation of ideas in the field, the Guidelines distil learning and advice drawn from across IUCN. Applied in the field, they build institutional and individual capacity to manage protected area systems effectively, equitably and sustainably, and to cope with the myriad of challenges faced in practice. The Guidelines also assist national governments, protected area agencies, non-governmental organisations, communities and private sector partners in meeting their commitments and goals, and especially the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Programme of Work on Protected Areas. A full set of guidelines is available at: www.iucn.org/pa_guidelines Complementary resources are available at: www.cbd.int/protected/tools/ Contribute to developing capacity for a Protected Planet at: www.protectedplanet.net/ IUCN PROTECTED AREA DEFINITION, MANAGEMENT CATEGORIES AND GOVERNANCE TYPES IUCN defines a protected area as: A clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values.

The Cambrian succession of the Tingskullen drill core from northern Öland comprises Cambrian Series 2 and Miaolingian (Wuliuan Stage) siliciclastic strata. The major portion of the succession is represented by the Miaolingian Borgholm Formation, which, in ascending order, is subdivided into the Mossberga, Bårstad and Äleklinta members. The Äleklinta Member is barren of body fossils, whereas the Mossberga and Bårstad members are moderately to highly fossiliferous and biostratigraphically reasonably well constrained. Trilobites and agnostoids from the Bårstad Member are indicative of the Acadoparadoxides pinus Zone. The Mossberga Member has not yielded any zonal guide fossils but is tentatively assigned to the Eccaparadoxides insularis Zone.
