  • Early Silurian Oceanic Episodes and Events

    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.

Lethaia,Vol.44, pp. 185–202. Recent revisions to the biostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic assignment of strata from the type area of the Niagaran Provincial Series (a regional chronostratigraphic unit) have demonstrated the need to revise the chronostratigraphic correlation of the Silurian System of North America. Recently, the working group to restudy the base of the Wen- lock Series has developed an extremely high-resolution global chronostratigraphy for the Telychian and Sheinwoodian stages by integrating graptolite and conodont biostratigra- 13 phy with carbonate carbon isotope (d Ccarb) chemostratigraphy. This improved global chronostratigraphy has required such significant chronostratigraphic revisions to the North American succession that much of the Silurian System in North America is cur- rently in a state of flux and needs further refinement. This report serves as an update of the progress on recalibrating the global chronostratigraphic correlation of North Ameri- can Provincial Series and Stage boundaries in their type area.

Ordovician carbonate platform ecosystem of the Holy Cross Moun­ tains. Palaeontologia Polonica 53, 43-128. The Ordovician organodetrital limestones and marls studied in outcrops at M6jcza and Miedzygorz, Holy Cross Mts, Poland, contains a record of the evolution of local conodont faunas from the latest Arenig (Early Kundan, Lenodus variabilis Zone) to the Ashgill (Amorphognathus ordovicicus Zone), with a single larger hiatus corre­ sponding to the subzones from Eop/acognathus pseudop/anu s to E. reclinatu s. The conodont fauna is Baltic in general appearance but cold water genera , like Sagitto­ dontina, Scabbardella, and Hamarodus, as well as those of Welsh or Chinese af­ finities, like Comp/exodus, Phragmodus, and Rhodesognathu s are dominant in par­ ticular parts of the section while others common in the Baltic region, like Periodon , Eop/acognathus, and Sca/pellodus are extremely rare. Most of the lineages continue to occur throughout most of the section enabling quantitative studies on their phyletic evolut ion. Apparatuses of sixty seven species of thirty six genera are described and illustrated. Phyletic evolution of Ba/toniodus, Amorphognathu s, Comp/exodus, and Pygodus is biometrically documented. Element s of apparatu ses are homolog ized and the standard notation system is applied to all of them. Acodontidae fam. n., Drepa­ nodus kie/censis sp. n., and D. santacrucensis sp. n. are proposed .

In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes­ sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in­ terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2012 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

O. Box 1126, Palestine Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Six species of the planktonic foraminiferal Family Hantkeninidae belonging to the genera namely Cribrohantkenina and Hantkenina are recorded and described from the Middle- and Upper Eocene succession of Jabal Hafit, Al Ain area, United Arab Emirates. The species include Cribrohantkenina inflata, Hantkenina alabamensis, H. compressa, H. australis, H. liebusi and H. primitiva. The three species of Hantkenina named last are recorded for the first time from the UAE. Keywords: Middle Eocene, Upper Eocene, Hantkeninidae species, United Arab Emirates INTRODUCTION The species of the genera Cribrohantkenina and Hantkenina have a worldwide distribution encircling low and mid-latitudes. The appearance of the genus Hantkenina at 49 Ma corresponds with the Early/Middle Eocene boundary, and their extinction at 33.7 Ma denotes the Eocene/Oligocene boundary, while the genus Cribrohantkenina appears only at the Late Eocene (36. 4 Ma-34. 3 Ma) and its extinction denotes the Eocene/Oligocene boundary. Pearson (1993) noted that the genus Hantkenina have a rounded periphery and more globose chambers (e.g. H. alabamensis) and sometimes areal apertures on the chamber face around the primer aperture (=Cribrohantkenina). Coxall et al. (2003); Coxall and Pearson (2006); and Rögl and Egger (2010) noted that the genus Hantkenina evolved gradually from the genus Clavigerinella in the earliest Middle Eocene, contrary to the long- held view that it is related to the genus Pseudohastigerina evolved from Globanomalina luxorensis (Nakkady) in the earliest Early Eocene (base of Zone E2) by the development of a symmetrical umbilical aperture and slightly asymmetrical to fully planispiral test as are the result of changes in the timing of the development processes.

In this study, the apparatus of Hindeodus parvus (Kozur and Pjatakova, 1976) is reconstructed using synchrotron radiation micro-tomography (SR–μCT). This species has six kinds of elements disposed in 15 positions forming the conodont apparatus. Carminiscaphate, angulate, and makellate forms are settled in pairs in the P1,P2, and M posi- tions, respectively. The single alate element is correlated with the S0 position. The S array is a cluster of eight rami- forms, subdivided into two inner pairs of digyrate S1–2 and two outer pairs of bipennate S3–4 elements. The reconstruction is similar to a well-known ozarkodinid apparatus model.

COBBAN2 I Institute of Geology, University of Warsaw, AI.

The Turonian - Coniacian boundary in the United States Western Interior. Acta Geologica Polonica, 48 (4),495-507. Warszawa. The Turonian/Coniacian boundary succession in the United States Western Interior is characterized by the same inoceramid faunas as recognized in Europe, allowing the application of the same zonal scheme in both regions; Mytiloides scupini and Cremnoceramus waltersdorfensis waltersdorfensis zones in the topmost Turonian and Cremnoceramus deformis erectus Zone in the lowermost Coniacian. The correla­ tion with Europe is enhanced, moreover, by a set of boundary events recognized originally in Europe and well represented in the Western Interior: Didymotis I Event and waltersdorfensis Event in the topmost Turonian, and erectus I, II and ?III events in the Lower Coniacian. First "Coniacian" ammonite, Forresteria peruana, appears in the indisputable Turonian, in the zone of M. scupini, and the reference to Forresteria in the boundary definition should be rejected. None of the North American sections, pro­ posed during the Brussels Symposium as the potential boundary stratotypes, i.e. Wagon Mound and Pueblo sections, appears better than the voted section of the Salzgitter-Salder. The Pueblo section is relatively complete but markedly condensed in comparison with the German one, but it may be used as a very convenient reference section for the Turonian/Coniacian boundary in the Western Interior.
