REYMENT, B.Sc. Geological Survey Department, Nigeria Abstract THREE NEW AMMONITE GENERA AND A NUMBER OF AMMONITE SPECIES ARE DESCRIBED from the Turonian and Coniacian of Nigeria. The new genera are Onitshoce,.as of Desmoceratidae, Kamerunoceras of Collignoniceratidae and Ezilloella of Vasco­ ceratidae. Some new species of Pseudaspidoceras Hyatt, Gombeoceras Reyment, Pachyvascoce,.as Furon and Solgerites Reeside are recorded. A discussion of the family Vascoceratidae appears. · Introduction IN A RECENT PAPER (Reyment, 1954) some new genera of Lower Turonian ammonites from Nigeria were established and their types and a few other species briefly described. The present paper contains descriptions of two further species of one of these new genera and of species of associated genera that have a wide distribution in both southern and northern Nigeria. Three new genera from the Turonian and Coniacian of southern Nigeria and the Cameroons are treated. This paper also includes a brief discussion of the family Vascoceratidae which provides an important element of the Lower Turonian faunas of many areas in Africa, Europe, Asia and North and South America. Both this and the previous work are preliminary to a larger review of the Upper Cretaceous-ammonites of southern Nigeria that is in active preparation;· but whose publication will in,evitably be delayed. Mean­ while, it is hoped that the new gehera described below and the informa­ tion on taxonomy and phylogeny becoming a\7ailable from studies of the Nigerian faunas will be of value both to palaeontologists and strati­ graphers.

  • Phylogeny, Diversity, and Ecology of the Ammonoid Superfamily Acanthoceratoidea Through the Cenomanian and Turonian
    PHYLOGENY, DIVERSITY, AND ECOLOGY OF THE AMMONOID SUPERFAMILY ACANTHOCERATOIDEA THROUGH THE CENOMANIAN AND TURONIAN DAVID A.A. MERTZ A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE August 2017 Committee: Margaret Yacobucci, Advisor Andrew Gregory Keith Mann © 2017 David Mertz All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Margaret Yacobucci Both increased extinction and decreased origination, caused by rising oceanic anoxia and decreased provincialism, respectively, have been proposed as the cause of the Cenomanian Turonian (C/T) extinction event for ammonoids. Conflicting evidence exists for whether diversity actually dropped across the C/T. This study used the ammonoid superfamily Acanthoceratoidea as a proxy for ammonoids as a whole, particularly focusing on genera found in the Western Interior Seaway (WIS) of North America, including Texas. Ultimately, this study set out to determine 1) whether standing diversity decreased across the C/T boundary in the WIS, 2) whether decreased speciation or increased extinction in ammonoids led to a drop in diversity in the C/T extinction event, 3) how ecology of acanthoceratoid genera changed in relation to the C/T extinction event, and 4) whether these ecological changes indicate rising anoxia as the cause of the extinction. In answering these questions, three phylogenetic analyses were run that recovered the families Acanthoceratidae, Collignoniceratidae, and Vascoceratidae. Pseudotissotiidae was not recovered at all, while Coilopoceratidae was recovered but reclassified as a subfamily of Vascoceratidae. Seven genera were reclassified into new families and one genus into a new subfamily. After calibrating the trees with stratigraphy, I was able to determine that standing diversity dropped modestly across the C/T boundary and the Early/Middle Turonian boundary.

  • ARTICLES Definition of Late Cretaceous Stage Boundaries In
    ARTICLES De®nition of Late Cretaceous Stage Boundaries in Antarctica Using Strontium Isotope Stratigraphy J. M. McArthur, J. A. Crame,1 and M. F. Thirlwall2 Department of Geological Sciences, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT New 87Sr/86Sr analyses of macrofossils from 13 key marker horizons on James Ross and Vega Islands, Antarctica, allow the integration of the Antarctic Late Cretaceous succession into the standard biostratigraphic zonation schemes of the Northern Hemisphere. The 87Sr/86Sr data enable Late Cretaceous stage boundaries to be physically located with accuracy for the ®rst time in a composite Southern Hemisphere reference section and so make the area one of global importance for documenting Late Cretaceous biotic evolution, particularly radiation and extinction events. The 87Sr/86Sr values allow the stage boundaries of the Turonian/Coniacian, Coniacian/Santonian, Santonian/Campanian, and Campanian/Maastrichtian, as well as other levels, to be correlated with both the United Kingdom and United States. These correlations show that current stratigraphic ages in Antarctica are too young by as much as a stage. Immediate implications of our new ages include the fact that Inoceramus madagascariensis, a useful fossil for regional austral correlation, is shown to be Turonian (probably Late Turonian) in age; the ªMytiloidesº africanus species complex is exclusively Late Coniacian in age; both Baculites bailyi and Inoceramus cf. expansus have a Late Con- iacian/Early Santonian age range; an important heteromorph ammonite assemblage comprising species of Eubostry- choceras, Pseudoxybeloceras, Ainoceras, and Ryugasella is con®rmed as ranging from latest Coniacian to very earliest Campanian.

  • Ammonite Faunal Dynamics Across Bio−Events During the Mid− and Late Cretaceous Along the Russian Pacific Coast
    Ammonite faunal dynamics across bio−events during the mid− and Late Cretaceous along the Russian Pacific coast ELENA A. JAGT−YAZYKOVA Jagt−Yazykova, E.A. 2012. Ammonite faunal dynamics across bio−events during the mid− and Late Cretaceous along the Russian Pacific coast. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 57 (4): 737–748. The present paper focuses on the evolutionary dynamics of ammonites from sections along the Russian Pacific coast dur− ing the mid− and Late Cretaceous. Changes in ammonite diversity (i.e., disappearance [extinction or emigration], appear− ance [origination or immigration], and total number of species present) constitute the basis for the identification of the main bio−events. The regional diversity curve reflects all global mass extinctions, faunal turnovers, and radiations. In the case of the Pacific coastal regions, such bio−events (which are comparatively easily recognised and have been described in detail), rather than first or last appearance datums of index species, should be used for global correlation. This is because of the high degree of endemism and provinciality of Cretaceous macrofaunas from the Pacific region in general and of ammonites in particular.

Tu eres un fracasado hasta que renuncies, y siempre es demasiado pronto para renunciar! No determinas la grandeza de una persona por su talento, su riqueza o su educación. Determinas la grandeza de una persona por lo que se necesita para desanimarlo. Así, ¿que es lo se necesita para desanimarte de ir en busca de tu sueño? Puede ser tan simple como un amigo o pariente o miembro de la familia diciendote “No creo que eso sea una buena idea” ESIA TICOMAN CIENCIAS DE LA TIERRA I.P.N.

  • Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian Limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben
    Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben... Geologos 18, 2 (2012): 83–109 doi: 10.2478/v10118-012-0007-z Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben (Sudetes, SW Poland): biostratigraphical and palaeogeographical implications Alina Chrząstek Institute of the Geological Sciences, Wrocław University, Maksa Borna 9, PL 50-204 Wrocław, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The ammonites Lewesiceras peramplum Mantell and ?Lewesiceras sp. are reported from the Upper Cretaceous in the Nysa Kłodzka Graben; they date from the Middle Turonian and ?Coniacian, respectively. The Middle Turonian lime- stones of the Stara Bystrzyca quarry contain an abundant assemblage of inoceramids (Inoceramus cuvieri Sowerby and I. lamarcki Parkinson) and other bivalves, including oysters, as well as brachiopods and trace fossils. Micropalaeonto- logical data show the presence of foraminifers and siliceous sponge spiculae, bryozoans, ostracods and fragments of bivalves and gastropods. The Middle Turonian calcareous deposits belongs to the upper part of the Inoceramus lamarcki Zone (late Middle Turonian) and were deposited on a shallow, subtidal offshore shelf. They overlie the Middle Turo- nian Bystrzyca and Długopole Sandstones, which represent foreshore-shoreface delta deposits. The fossil assemblage suggests a moderate- to low-energy, normal-salinity environment with occasionally an oxygen deficit. Keywords: Middle Turonian, Sudetes, Nysa Kłodzka Graben, ammonites, inoceramids, biostratigraphy 1. Introduction Stara Bystrzyca quarry.
