PERMIAN PRODUCTIDINA OF BRITAIN AND MALAYSIA by Mohd Shafeea Bin Leman A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geological Sciences The University of Durham 1990 1 5 NOV 1991 Mohd Shafeea bin Leman Permian Productidina of Britain and Malaysia Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1990 Abstract The British Permian Productidina have not been revised in detail since 185~. In the present study some 2000 specimens from 29 localities in north east of England have been collected and prepared in the laboratory and used together with museum collections. The fauna consists of four species of Strophalosia, one new species of Eostrophalosia, six species of Heteralosia (four new), three species of Craspedalosia (one new), two species of Howseia, four species of Horridonia (one new) and two species of Spinohorridonia new genus. The Strophalosiacea and Horridoniinae are divided according to a new classification produced in this research. British Permian productidinid species are often strongly variable. Some variants suggest possible sexual dimorphism while others are probably of ecological forms. The fauna as a whole is unique and exclusive to the Upper Permian Zechstein Sea. The British Permian fauna shows major radiation periods during the early EZ1a Ca and early EZ1b Ca. In conjunction with these radiations, the Productidina become divided into two distinct assemblages, marking two biozones introduced in this thesis, the H orridonia horrida and Strophalosia excavata biozones. Little is known of the Malaysian Permian Productidina. They comprise one species each of Strophalosia, Craspedalosia, Institella, Antiquatonia, Reticulatia, Echi­ noconchus, Linoproductus, Stepanoviella, Striatifera, Liosotella (with new species), M arginifera '?, Paucispinifera, Retimarginifera (with new species) and Costispinifera, two species of Dictyoclostus, Waagenoconcha and Echinauris and three species of Cancrinella. Lower Permian productidinids are associated with Artinskian fusulines and show links with the South Tethyan cold water fauna. Upper Permian producti­ dinids contain a mixture of North Cathaysian elements and the warm South Tethyan lyttoniid fauna. Variation occurs within some of the Malaysian species, but owing to lack of material, no final deductions can be made. Similarly, although signifi­ cant differences are observed in Malaysian productidinid distributions, tabulation of biostratigraphic zonation is left until more data is available. Acknowledgements I would like to thank very much Dr. G. A. L. Johnson for his supervision during the progress of this study and for his help and advice during my stay in Durham. The Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is greatfully acknowledged for funding this research and the Department of Geological Sciences (University of Durham) is ac­ knowledged for hosting the research. I would like to thank Dr. Denys Smith of GEOPERM, Dr. Neville Hollingworth of Oxford College, Dr. Howard Brunton of British Museum (Natural History), Mr. Jack Pattison of British Geological Survey, Dr. David Harper of University College of Galway, Dr. Kamal Roslan Mohamad of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Dr. Ian Metcalfe of University of Malaya and Dr. Henri Fontaine whose ideas and suggestions are very valuable for the production of this thesis. Appreciation is extended to Mr. Tim Pettigrew of Sunderland Museum, Mr. Andrew Newman of Hancock Museum, Dr. Howard Brunton of British Museum (Natural History), Dr. Cocks and Mr. Pattison of British Geological Survey, Dr. David Harper of University College of Galway and Dr. ldris Mohamad of University of Malaya for allowing unlimited access to their Permian collections. Special thanks are addressed to the staffs of the Geological Survey of Malaysia, especially Mr. Ibrahim Amnan, Mr. Khoo Han Peng, Mr. Amran Nali and the photographer (sorry your name slipped away from my memory) for every help given during this research. Not forgotten is Than Syed Khairuddin and family for providing free accom111odation and transport while the research is carried out in the Geological Survey of Malaysia. Sincere thank is due to Gerry Dresser and Alan Carr for the help in producing the plates, to George Randall for the thin sections and Dave Asbery for his quick response towards any problems I faced in the department. Thank is also extended to Dr. Larwood and Prof. Bott for continuously asking about my progress. This research is also much benefited by unlimited access to the sites granted by many landlords, to whom I owe very much. ii To Ian and the everchanging members of Room 223, AbdulKadir, Alex, Angela, Stuart, Pete and Ivan and to Dr. Samsudin and other members of the Department of Geological Sciences and the Graduate Society who have helped in anyway in the production of this thesis, I wish to thank you all very much. Finally, to my very patient wife and daughters and the rest of the family m Malaysia - you all make this happen. l1l Declaration The contents of this thesis are the original work of the author and no other work is included without acknowledgement.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Heritage at Risk teams are now in each of our nine local offices, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From Clifford’s Fort, North Tyneside to the Church of St Andrew, Haughton le Skerne, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), Natural England, councils and local groups. It will be increasingly important to build on these partnerships to achieve the overall aim of reducing the number of sites on the Register.

    HYLTON CASTLE PRIMARY SCHOOL ANTI-BULLYING POLICY Link governors: Julie Clark and Caroline Comer Policy written by: Lisa Wood Date ratified by governors: March 2018 Reviewed (date): March 2014 March 2015 March 2016 March 2017 Our school does not tolerate bullying. Every member of our school community has the right to work, play and learn without fearing the behaviour of others. This policy sets out our school’s approach to bullying. It explains what we mean by bullying, what we do when bullying is discovered, and how we can work together to ensure that it does not recur. The policy was developed in consultation with pupils, staff and parents, and after seeking good practice from other schools and relevant organisations. It forms part of the school’s Behaviour Policy, agreed to by pupils, parents and teachers. As well as providing parents with information, this policy provides practical advice aimed at detecting, managing and resolving problems associated with bullying. Contents What is bullying? Is there a typical bully? Identifying a target of bullying What children can do if they are being bullied What parents can do if their child is bullied What to do if your child is bullying Policy How the school will support targets of bullying How the school will deal with children who bully WHAT IS BULLYING? We believe that bullying is when someone intentionally and repeatedly (i.e. more than once) attempts to threaten, frighten or hurt another person. Pupils and parents identified the following as examples of bullying: Name calling 1 Teasing / taunting Threatening Spreading stories Ganging up Taking things from others Deliberately hiding / damaging others’ property Forcing someone to do things they don’t want to do Being physically violent Being a bystander Isolating people Cyber-bullying (please see Anti Cyber-bullying policy) The biggest weapons of someone who bullies are threat and fear.
