ABSTRACT: in the area studied Cambrian to Triassie systems are distinguished by the use of conodonts and their fauna is deseribed briefly. it is believed that the metamorphic Alanya massif overlays the Sedre Triassie as a nappe, forming a teetonic window. Hadimopanella oezgueli n. gen. n. sp. (İncertae sedis) and three new conodont speeies are established. (1) Bu yazı Türkiye Jeoloji Kurumu 30.

New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Bulletin 60. 1 THE CONODONT NEOGNATHODUS BOTHROPS MERRILL, 1972 AS THE MARKER FOR THE LOWER BOUNDARY OF THE MOSCOVIAN STAGE (MIDDLE PENNSYLVANIAN) ALEXANDER S. ALEKSEEV1 AND NATALIA V. GOREVA 2 1 Department of Paleontology, Geological Faculty, Moscow State University, Russia, email: aaleks@geol. msu.ru; 2 Geological institute of Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia, email: [email protected] Abstract—The Moscovian Stage constitutes the Middle Pennsylvanian Series of the Carboniferous System, but a biostratigraphic marker and GSSP for it have not yet been designated. The exact position of the Moscovian boundary cannot be defined properly because in the type area the basal Vereian unconformably overlies the Mississippian limestone or the alluvial and lagoonal Aza Formation of the uppermost Bashkirian. The Task Group to establish a GSSP close to the existing Bashkirian-Moscovian boundary suggested several potential markers among foraminifers and conodonts, but the search for a marker near traditional base of the global Moscovian Stage has stalled. It may be more productive to search for FADs in the lower Moscovian, above the traditional base, to designate the lower boundary of the stage. Relatively rich Vereian and Kashirian conodont assemblages have been recovered from the southwest Moscow Basin, as well as from the Oka-Tsna Swell. The most complete information on the distribution of conodonts in the Vereian- Kashirian boundary interval was obtained from the Yambirno section (Oka-Tsna Swell). The greatest change in conodont assemblages does not occur near the level of the traditional base of the Moscovian, but stratigraphically higher. -

Early Silurian Oceanic Episodes and Events
Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 150, 1993, pp. 501-513, 3 figs. Printed in Northern Ireland Early Silurian oceanic episodes and events R. J. ALDRIDGE l, L. JEPPSSON 2 & K. J. DORNING 3 1Department of Geology, The University, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK 2Department of Historical Geology and Palaeontology, SiSlvegatan 13, S-223 62 Lund, Sweden 3pallab Research, 58 Robertson Road, Sheffield $6 5DX, UK Abstract: Biotic cycles in the early Silurian correlate broadly with postulated sea-level changes, but are better explained by a model that involves episodic changes in oceanic state. Primo episodes were characterized by cool high-latitude climates, cold oceanic bottom waters, and high nutrient supply which supported abundant and diverse planktonic communities. Secundo episodes were characterized by warmer high-latitude climates, salinity-dense oceanic bottom waters, low diversity planktonic communities, and carbonate formation in shallow waters. Extinction events occurred between primo and secundo episodes, with stepwise extinctions of taxa reflecting fluctuating conditions during the transition period. The pattern of turnover shown by conodont faunas, together with sedimentological information and data from other fossil groups, permit the identification of two cycles in the Llandovery to earliest Weniock interval. The episodes and events within these cycles are named: the Spirodden Secundo episode, the Jong Primo episode, the Sandvika event, the Malm#ykalven Secundo episode, the Snipklint Primo episode, and the lreviken event. Oceanic and climatic cyclicity is being increasingly semblages (Johnson et al. 1991b, p. 145). Using this recognized in the geological record, and linked to major and approach, they were able to detect four cycles within the minor sedimentological and biotic fluctuations. -

Bull. Soc. belge Géologie T. 83 fasc. 4 pp. 235- 253 Bruxelles 1974 THE CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHIC UNITS OF THE UPPER CARBONIFEROUS IN EUROPE R.H. WAGNER * ABSTRACT: The history is traced of the various chronostratigraphic units recognised in the Upper Carboniferous of western Europe, and their stratotypes are discussed. A correlation is given for the chronostratigraphic units in the Middle and Upper Carboniferou& series of Russia, in the light of pre dominantly marine successions in N.W. Spain, and suggestions are made for an integrated scheme of major units. Introduction In western Europe the classification of Carboniferous strata was further taken in The main chronostratigraphic divisions of hand by the Congrès pour !'Avancement des the Carboniferous in Europe were established Etudes de Stratigraphie Carbonifère which by MUNIER CHALMAS & DE LAPPARENT(1893), met in Heerlen in 1927, 1935, 1951 and who distinguished three marine stages charac 1958. The 1927 congress sanctioned the use terised by different faunas, viz. Dinantienl, of Namurian, a stage introduced by PURVES Moscovien2 and Ouralienl, and two stages, in 1883 and which corresponds to the West Westphalien1 and Stéphanien, characterised phalien inférieur of MUNIER CHALMAS & by coal-measures facies. Most of the names DE LAPPARENT. It also introduced the A, had been used before (see footnotes), but B and C divisions for the remaining West the 'Note sur la Nomenclature des Terrains phalian (i.e. the Westphalien supérieur of sédimentaires' provided the first formai MUNIER CHALMAS & DE LAPPARENT). The framework for a subdivision into stages of the 1935 congress expanded the Westphalian Carboniferous System. MuNIER CHALMAS & upwards by recognising the presence of a DE LAPPARENT gave precedence to the marine Westphalian D division, and subdivided the stages, Moscovian and Uralian, and regarded Namurian into A, B and C. -

Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 83 (1993) Volume 102 p. 83-91 CONODONTS FROM COAL BALLS IN THE SPRINGFIELD COAL MEMBER OF THE PETERSBURG FORMATION (DESMOINESIAN, PENNSYLVANIAN) IN SOUTHERN INDIANA Carl B. Rexroad Indiana Geological Survey 611 North Walnut Grove Bloomington, Indiana 47405 ABSTRACT: A well-preserved and moderately diverse conodont faunule was recovered from five coal balls in the Springfield Coal Member of the Petersburg Formation from Peabody Coal Com- pany's Eby Pit, Lynnville Mine, in Warrick County, Indiana. The presence of Neognathodus roundyi and the other species recorded in this study is compatible with the middle Desmoinesian age of the Springfield. Idioprioniodus conjunctus is the most ecologically diagnostic of the conodonts and suggests organic-rich, quiet water with a low pH, which in turn suggests that the conodonts lived in a salt-water marsh bordered on one side by coal swamps and on another by near-normal marine waters. Apparently coal balls had multiple origins, and the origin of the conodont-bearing ones is uncertain. INTRODUCTION Because marine fossils are commonly associated with plant fossils in some coal balls, it is not surprising that conodonts have been reported from them. A half-dozen well-pre- served conodonts from Pennsylvanian coal balls from three different States were figured by Mamay and Yochelson (1962), but no other conodonts were figured; therefore, the overall conodont content in coal balls is unknown. To better understand the distribution of conodonts and their paleoecologic impor- tance in coal balls, samples were processed from coal balls of the middle Desmoinesian Springfield Coal Member of the Petersburg Formation from the Eby Pit of Peabody Coal Company's Lynnville Mine (SW'/4 , SWA, NE'A, Sec.
