The collection was started long before the establishment of UMUT. The oldest published specimens are Japanese fossil elephants described by Naumann (1881), who was the first professor of paleontology of the university. Since then Prof. Matajiro Yokoyama, Prof. Yanosuke Otuka, Prof. Teiichi Kobayashi and many other paleontologists and students have contributed fossil specimens before the World War II. During the war, the collection was packed and sent to a temple in Oishida, Yamagata Prefecture, to avoid damage by air raids (Hanai in Ichikawa and Hayami, 1978). Three years after the end of the war (1948), the new system of registration was initiated by Prof. Teiichi Koyabashi and later continued by Prof. Fuyuji Takai (Hanai in Ichikawa and Hayami, 1978). The basic principle of the current curatorial system was established during this period. In 1966 the building of UMUT was completed and the whole collection was transferred from the Geological Institute, the Faculty of Science, to UMUT (Ichikawa and Hayami, 1978). In the 1970s to early 1990s the curation was led by Prof. Testuro Hanai and subsequently by Prof. Itaru Hayami. Mr. Takeo Ichikawa made the most significant contribution to the maintenance of the collection. He checked old specimens with original description and figures one by one. By 1988 he reconfirmed the status of more than 20,000 specimens described in more than 650 publications (Hayami and Ichikawa, 1988). In addition, he compiled a series of catalogues of Paleozoic and Mesozoic fossils (Ichikawa and Hayami, 1978), Cenozoic fossils and Recent specimens (Ichikawa, 1983) and specimens published between 1983 and 1995 (Ichikawa, 1988, 1995). The number of registered specimens reached 29,500 in October, 2007. This number may i not be very high for general museum collection, but they are all either type or cited specimens used in scientific publications. Obviously the number of type specimens is the largest among Japanese paleontological collections. For example, there are ca. 4,200 records of types (primary and non-primary types) only in Cenozoic molluscs. The method of registration in UMUT is simple. Each specimen is given a unique serial number with the abbreviations of Era and phylum as prefix (see Appendices I and II). A whole set of specimens described in one publication are deposited together with a reprint in the same series of drawers of cabinet or plastic containers regardless of taxonomic position. For example, even if fossil molluscs and vertebrates are described in one paper, they are not separated in the collection. This method has a great advantage when subsequently referring to specimens. If various specimens are segregated in a large, taxonomically-arranged collection, it takes much longer time to examine all the specimens from a particular publication. In addition, the risk of misplacement increases in case of subsequent changes of taxonomy. The arrangement of specimens according to publication is the most stable method for published material. In the 1990s, the demand for internet-accessible databases has arisen in most major museums of the world. UMUT first set up the “digital museum project” in Japan, and started creating searchable databases for all kinds of specimens. As the first step in paleontology, the datebase of Cretaceous ammonites was produced under the direction of Prof. Kazushige Tanabe, and it was also published on CD-ROM (Tanabe et al., 2000). After ammonites, the rest of the molluscs were the next target. It took six years to enter all the data, encompassing (1) published scientific names, (2) the higher taxonomy, (3) registration numbers, (5) type of specimens (e.g., holotype, paratype, figured specimen), (6) presence or absence of specimens, (7) citations (page and figure number), (8) full references to the publications for ca. 19,000 records. Data entry of other phyla was conducted between 1996 and 1997 in the same format. After ten years of work from 1998 to 2007, we completed the database for specimens registered before 1995. Aside from creating the database, newly described specimens have also been continuously registered. This catalogue contains the complete list of all registered specimens and their references published from 1994 to 2002, and also the list of all previous publications using any specimen of UMUT. Theses data are also available from the database on the museum’s webpage. It is most important to maintain long-term curatorial work without any interruption. The ii collection of UMUT has been built as a consequence of steady efforts and many volunteers for 120 years. I deeply thank former staff, supervisors, colleagues, students and volunteer groups who have substantially supported my curatorial work, and also Dr. Daniel L.

  • Oxfordian Idoceratids (Ammonoidea) and Their Relation to Perisphinctes Proper
    ACT A PAL A EON T 0 L ,0 GI CAP 0 LON ICA Vol. 21 1976 No 4 WOJCIECH BROCHWICZ-LEWINSKI & ZDZISLAW ROZAK OXFORDIAN IDOCERATIDS (AMMONOIDEA) AND THEIR RELATION TO PERISPHINCTES PROPER Abstract. - An attempt is made to reconstruct the evolution of idoceratids (Pe­ risphinctidae) during the Oxfordian. The subgenus Nebrodites (Passendorjeria) is supposed to be the ancestor of N. (Mesosimoceras), whilst N. (Enayites) subgen. n. ­ of N. (Nebrodites) and possibly of Idoceras planula group. Both genera appear to be of European origin. Differentiation of Mediterranean and Submediterran.ean peris­ phinctidae appears questionable. INTRODUCTION In 1973 one of the co-authors (W. Brochwicz-Lewiilski, 1973) proposed a new subgenus Nebrodites (Passendorferia) for Middle Oxfordian forms interpreted as descendants of Mediterranean Kranaosphinctes cyrilli-me­ thodii group and ancestors of Nebrodites proper; the Idoceras planula group was assumed to be an off-shoot of the evolutionary line. Subsequent collecting gave several Passendorferia and Passendorferia-like forms from the Oxfordian of Poland, Switzerland (Gygi, pers. inf.), Spain (Sequeiros, 1974) and Bulgaria (Sapunov, in press). Moreover, ancestral forms of the Idoceras planula group were reported from the Bimammatum Zone of the F. R. G. (Nitzopoulos, 1974). These finds made it possible to draw some conclusions concerning the h~tory of these Mediterranean perisphinctids and their relationship to the Submediterranean ones. The material described comprises forms from authors' G. KU'lesza (Br, Kl) and Dr. J. Liszkowski's (L) collections housed at the Warsaw University as well as others from the Geological Museum of Sofia Univer­ sity (Bulgaria) and Geological Museum of the Polish Academy of Sciences at Cracow.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

  • Constructional Morphology of the Shell/Ligament System in Opisthogyrate Rostrate Bivalves J
    Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 106, 221–227, 2017 Constructional morphology of the shell/ligament system in opisthogyrate rostrate bivalves J. Echevarrı´a, S. E. Damborenea and M. O. Mancen˜ido CONICET – Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s/n, (1900) La Plata, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The bivalve ligament provides the thrust for shell opening, acting as the resistance in a lever system against which adductor muscle effort is applied. Usually, its outer lamellar layer is subjected to tensile stress, while the inner fibrous layer is compressed, with the pivotal axis located between them. However, opisthogyrate rostrate bivalves display a concave dorsal margin, and both the umbo and the postero-dorsal angle of the shell project dorsally to the ligament, which then fails to act as pivotal axis. Three opisthogyrate rostrate genera of unrelated lineages show somewhat dif- ferent solutions to this morpho-functional challenge. In Cuspidaria (Anomalodesmata), the ligament is internal, subjected only to compression and ventral to the pivotal axis, a thickened periostracum develops, forcing the dorsal margins of the valves to act as pivotal axis, and the posterior parts of the shell’s dorsal margins gape dorsally. In Nuculana (Palaeotaxodonta), the inner layer of the ligament is internal, the outer layer is external but reduced, and some species develop a dorsal ridge parallel to the commissural plane, on a level with the rostrum and acting as pivotal axis. In Pterotrigonia (Palaeoheterodonta) and other rostrate trigoniides, the ligament is external opisthodetic, but is allometrically reduced.

Marine Biodiversity Records (2016) 9:4 DOI 10.1186/s41200-016-0004-y MARINE RECORD Open Access Septibranchia (Mollusca: Bivalvia) from the North and Northeast Coasts of Brazil Cristiane Xerez Barroso1*, Sula Salani2, Soraya Guimarães Rabay1 and Helena Matthews-Cascon1,3 Abstract Background: Septibranchia comprises groups of bivalves that have developed a series of anatomical and conchological modifications toward a carnivorous and/or saprophagic lifestyle. The present study aims to identify the species of the families Poromyidae, Cuspidariidae and Verticordiidae found off the northern and north-eastern coasts of Brazil, reducing the gaps in the geographic distribution and adding new morphological data of the analysed shells. Results: Six genera and eight species were found in the 54 examined lots: Cardiomya cleryana, Cardiomya ornatissima, Cardiomya perrostrata, Cuspidaria sp., Plectodon braziliensis, Myonera aff. paucistriata, Poromya cf. granulata and Trigonulina ornata. The present study adds new conchological and morphometric characteristics to descriptions of species, redulces the gap in the distribution of Plectodon braziliensis in the Southwestern Atlantic, and extends the northern distribution limit of P. braziliensis and C. cleryana with new records for off the north- north-east coast of Brazil. Conclusions: By adding new morphological and morphometric data of the shells, the present study may help in the taxonomy of these septibranch species. New collections in the region will probably lead to the discovery of new records of Septibranchia. Keywords: Cardiomya, Plectodon, Cuspidaria, Myonera, Trigonulina, Poromya Background et al. 2014).

While several genera in the top snail family (Trochidae) have 38 flattened shells, two Fossarininae genera, Broderipia and Roya, are unique in having 39 shells that are limpet-like and zygomorphic, lacking any trace of coiling. The sister 40 genera of these two genera are Fossarina and Synaptocochlea, both of which have 41 coiled shells and live in rock crevices or the vacant shells of sessile organisms.

This considerable increase in diversity occurs specifically at the beginning of the Magellanic Biogeographic Province. Within this province lies the Strait of Magellan, considered the most important channel because it connects the South Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. These characteristics make it an interesting area for marine research; thus, the Strait of Magellan has histori- cally been the area with the greatest research effort within the province.

  • The Marine Jurassic of Argentina: a Biostratigraphic Framework
    326 by Alberto C. Riccardi The marine Jurassic of Argentina: a biostratigraphic framework Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s/n, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. Email: [email protected] In Argentina the best and most complete marine Juras- sic succession is exposed between 32° and 39° S, along a N-S belt roughly coincident with the border with Chile. Here all stages, except the Kimmeridgian, are represented by marine facies. Ammonites have provided a biostratigraphic framework to date and correlate lithostratigraphic units and sequences, to reconstruct the history of the marine fill, and allow the development of other palaeontological and geological studies. Recent studies on the systematics and/or biostratigra- phy of Andean ammonites have provided the basis for the presentation of a summary of the 45 ammonite zones of the Jurassic of west-central Argentina and to stress its significance in reconstructing the palaeogeographic evolution of that region. Introduction Jurassic rocks in Argentina are present over extensive areas (see Fig- ure 1) and include a large variety of marine and continental facies (see Riccardi et al., 1992). South of 39°S marine Jurassic consists of Pliensbachian-Lower Toarcian and uppermost Jurassic strata, repre- sented respectively in central and southern Patagonia. North of 39°S marine Jurassic is exposed along a N-S belt roughly coincident with the boundary between Argentina and Chile, up to 31°S where it becomes restricted to Chile. The marine Jurassic generally rests unconformably on Upper Triassic (west-central Argentina) and Upper Jurassic vulcanites (southern Patagonia) or on Upper Paleozoic (west-central Patago- nia).

The specimen, measuring over 25 cm in diameter, is one of biggest specimens reported from the Tetori Group. The occurrence of the species suggests that the Arimine Formation can be assigned to the Perisphinctes matsushimai Assemblage Zone of Middle Oxfordian, Late Jurassic. The Kiritani Formation, distributed in the western part of the Jinzu section, also contains fossils assigned to the Perisphinctes matsushimai Assemblage Zone and is thus correlative with the Kiritani Formation. Both formations were deposited during the first transgressive phase in the Tetori area.
