Madygen, Triassic Lagerstätte Number One, Before and After Sharov
ALAVESIA, 2: 113-124 (2008) ISSN 1887-7419 Madygen, Triassic Lagerstätte number one, before and after Sharov Dmitry E. SHCHERBAKOV Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Profsoyuznaya 123, Moscow 117647, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The insect fauna of the world’s richest Triassic fossil locality, Madygen (Ladinian–Carnian of Kyrgyzstan) is reviewed; other groups of animals and plants recorded from the locality are also listed. The research history, fossil preservation and paleoenvironment of the Madygen Formation are briefly discussed. The site was discovered in 1933, and the better part of fossils was collected from the outcrop richest in insects, Dzhayloucho, during five expeditions headed by Alexander Sharov, who discovered there and described two peculiar gliding reptiles that made Madygen worldwide known. The entomofauna includes 20 orders (including the earliest Hymenoptera and early Diptera) and nearly 100 families. The insect assemblage is numerically dominated by Coleoptera, Blattodea, and Auchenorrhyncha. In Dzhayloucho, subdo- minants are Mecoptera, Orthoptera, and Protorthoptera. The largest insects belong to Titanoptera, the order established by Sharov and the most diverse in Madygen. Amphibiotic insects are rare and represented almost exclusively by adults. In some outcrops phyllopod Kazacharthra are common. The paleoenvironment may be reconstructed as an intermontane river valley in seasonally arid climate, with mineralized oxbow lakes and ephemeral ponds on the floodplain.

The Middle Triassic Scleractinia-Like Coral Furcophyllia from the Pamir Mountains
The Middle Triassic scleractinia−like coral Furcophyllia from the Pamir Mountains GALINA K. MELNIKOVA and EWA RONIEWICZ Melnikova, G.K. and Roniewicz, E. 2007. The Middle Triassic scleractinia−like coral Furcophyllia from the Pamir Mountains. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 52 (2): 401–406. Furcophyllia is an unusual coral with septa regularly splitting into branching sets called septal brooms. This pattern of septal apparatus is so alien to scleractinians, that, despite a trabecular microstructure of septa resembling that of the Scleractinia, the genus was originally ascribed to a rare group of corals informally referred to as sleractiniamorphs, previ− ously known from the Ordovician and Permian. Genus Furcophyllia emerged together with corals of several groups, after the post−Permian crisis diversification of skeletonized anthozoans, some of them markedly differing in their skeletal fea− tures from typical Scleractinia. So far, the genus was represented by middle Carnian Furcophyllia septafindens from the Dolomites, in the Southern Alps. Here, we report Furcophyllia shaitanica sp. nov. from limestone boulders found in the volcano−clastic deposits of the upper Ladinian Šajtan suite of the South Eastern Pamirs. A new species of Furcophyllia signifies that the genus was a faunal element widely distributed in the Tethys.

The Ferns of the Late Ladinian, Middle Triassic Flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy
The ferns of the late Ladinian, Middle Triassic flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy EVELYN KUSTATSCHER, ELIO DELLANTONIO, and JOHANNA H.A. VAN KONIJNENBURG-VAN CITTERT Kustatscher, E., Dellantonio, E., and Van Konijnenburg-van Cittert, J.H.A. 2014. The ferns of the late Ladinian, Middle Triassic flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (3): 741–755. Several fern remains are described from the para-autochthonous early late Ladinian flora of the Monte Agnello (Dolo- mites, N-Italy). The plants are preserved in subaerially deposited pyroclastic layers. Some ferns, known already from the Anisian and Ladinian of this area, are confirmed (Neuropteridium elegans), but several taxa are described for the first time (Phlebopteris fiemmensis sp. nov., Cladophlebis ladinica sp. nov., Chiropteris monteagnellii sp. nov.). Cladophle- bis sp. and some indeterminable fern remains cannot yet be assigned to any family. Phlebopteris fiemmensis is now the oldest formally established species in the genus. The fern family Dipteridaceae (Thaumatopteris sp. and some fragments probably belonging to the Dipteridaceae because of their venation) has not been recorded previously from European sediments as old as the Ladinian. Although stratigraphically attributed to the late Ladinian, the flora is markedly distinct from other Ladinian floras of the Dolomites and the Germanic Basin. The flora from Monte Agnello shows a higher di- versity in ferns than coeval floras from this area although characteristic elements of the Ladinian of the Dolomites such as Anomopteris and Gordonopteris are missing. The new flora misses also the Marattiales (e.g., Danaeopsis, Asterotheca) and other elements such as Sphenopteris schoenleiniana, typical for the Ladinian of the Germanic Basin. -
