Xenacanthus (Chondrichthyes: Xenacanthiformes) from North America
Acta Geologica Polonica, Vol. 49 (J 999), No.3, pp. 215-266 406 IU S UNES 0 I Dentitions of Late Palaeozoic Orthacanthus species and new species of ?Xenacanthus (Chondrichthyes: Xenacanthiformes) from North America GARY D. JOHNSON Department of Earth Sciences and Physics, University of South Dakota; 414 East Clark Street, Vermillion, SD 57069-2390, USA. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: JOHNSON, G.D. 1999. Dentitions of Late Palaeozoic Orthacanthus species and new species of ?Xenacanthus (Chondrichthyes: Xenacanthiformes) from North America. Acta Geologica Polonica, 49 (3),215-266. Warszawa. Orthacanthus lateral teeth have paired, variably divergent, smooth, usually carinated labio-lingually compressed principal cusps separated by a central foramen; one or more intermediate cusps; and an api cal button on the base isolated from the cusps. Several thousand isolated teeth from Texas Artinskian bulk samples are used to define the heterodont dentitions of O. texensis and O. platypternus. The O. tex ensis tooth base has a labio-Iingual width greater than the anteromedial-posterolateral length, the basal tubercle is restricted to the thick labial margin, the principal cusps are serrated to varying degrees, and the posterior cusp is larger. The O. platypternus tooth base is longer than wide, its basal tubercle extends to the center, the labial margin is thin, serrations are absent on the principal cusps, the anterior cusp is larger, and a single intermediate cusp is present. More than two hundred isolated teeth from Nebraska (Gzhelian) and Pennsylvania (Asselian) provide a preliminary description of the heterodont dentition of O. compress us . The principal cusps are similar to O. -

Characters from fossils have been viewed as less informative or more subjective Keywords: than comparable information from extant taxa. However, fossils are often the continuous trait evolution, character state only known representatives of many higher taxa, including some of the earliest optimization, morphological diversification, forms, and have been important in determining character polarity and filling vertebrate taphonomy morphological gaps. Here we evaluate the influence of fossils on the interpretation of character evolution by comparing estimates of ancestral body Accepted for publication: 22 July 2008 size in fishes (non-tetrapod craniates) from two large and previously unpublished datasets; a palaeontological dataset representing all principal clades from throughout the Phanerozoic, and a macroecological dataset for all 515 families of living (Recent) fishes. Ancestral size was estimated from phylogenetically based (i.e. parsimony) optimization methods. Ancestral size estimates obtained from analysis of extant fish families are five to eight times larger than estimates using fossil members of the same higher taxa. -
Morphology and Histology of Dorsal Spines of the Xenacanthid Shark

Morphology and histology of dorsal spines of the xenacanthid shark Orthacanthus platypternus from the Lower Permian of Texas, USA: Palaeobiological and palaeoen- vironmental implications. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 61 (1): 97–117. Detailed studies on Carboniferous species of the xenacanth Orthacanthus have shown that the xenacanth dorsal fin spine can be used for skeletochronological analyses and provides valuable information about development, growth and environmental life conditions of those extinct sharks. We report here for the first time the histology and skeletochro- nology of Permian specimens, dorsal spines of Orthacanthus platypternus from the Craddock Bone Bed (lower Clear Fork Formation; Early Permian, Leonardian age) of northern Baylor County (north-central Texas, USA). Twelve dorsal spines of O. platypternus preserve a highly vascularized wall mainly composed of centrifugally growing dentine in a succession of dentine layers, probably deposited with an annual periodicity. As expected, spines of individuals with 1–2 dentine layers, presumably juveniles, present the smallest sizes. However, spines of individuals showing at least 3–4 dentine layers and interpreted to be subadults/young adults, are distributed in two spine-size clusters corresponding to females (probably the largest spines) and males, in agreement with the hypothesis of sexual size dimorphism proposed in a previous biometric analysis. Our comparative study of O. platypternus and the Stephanian species O. -

Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science, Vol. 84 (2005) 215 UNDERDEVELOPED AND UNUSUAL XENACANTH SHARK TEETH FROM THE LOWER PERMIAN OF TEXAS Gary D. Johnson Department of Earth Sciences University of South Dakota Vermillion, SD 57069 ABSTRACT Xenacanth sharks from the Wichita and Clear Fork Groups in north-central Texas are represented by 51,400 isolated teeth, obtained by bulk-sampling sedi- ments at 65 localities, of Orthacanthus texensis (50% of total), O. platypternus (12%), Barbclabornia luedersensis (38%), and Xenacanthus slaughteri (0.01%) in Early Permian (late Sakmarian-Artinskian) strata spanning some 5 million years (285-280 Ma). Discounting deformed teeth (0.06%), which could usually be identified to species, there remain much more common underdeveloped teeth (1-2%?) and unusual teeth that are rare (<<0.1%). Teeth not fully developed, and presumably still within the dental groove when a shark died, lack the outer hypermineralized pallial dentine on the cusps, which display open pulp cavities; tooth bases possess a poorly developed apical button. Most could be assigned to the species of Orthacanthus, the remainder to B. luedersensis. Based on histologi- cal development in modern shark teeth, in which the base is last to develop, it would seem the reverse occurred in xenacanth teeth, but this conclusion is uncer- tain. Unusual teeth were most closely affiliated with Orthacanthus, but they pos- sess characters normally not associated with that genus, exceeding the presumed limits of variation that might be accepted for its heterodont dentition. Examples include teeth with cristated cusps, in which the distribution of cristae is highly asymmetrical; possession of a single cusp or of three equally developed principal cusps (two are normal in xenacanth teeth); and one tooth with a primary inter- mediate cusp that may have been larger than the principal cusps. -

Lungfish Aestivation Burrow from the Rio Do Rasto

Comments on the Sample MGS1 Zircons of the sample MGS1 are all inherited having ages in the range of 357– 1838 Ma (Supp. Fig. 2). Only eleven ages were obtained because the main aim of this investigation was to determine the age of the mudstone containing pyroclastic material. Eleven analyses are not enough for a consistent interpretation of the sources of the detrital zircons. However, some conclusions are evident. The zircon having a Mesoproterozoic age of 1433 Ma is correlated to the Sunsás orogeny, which is located to the west of the Amazon and La Plata cratons (Pertille et al., 2017), whereas the Paleoproterozoic zircon of 1,838 Ma is comparable to the age of the Juruena orogen of the south Amazon Craton. Three Ediacaran zircons are Brasilian (629, 621, and 554 Ma) in age and certainly derived from rocks of the Brasilian orogen of south Brazil and Uruguay. Two Cambrian zircons (527 and 512 Ma) may be derived from the Pampean orogen in eastern Argentina. Three zircons of 490, 481, and 474 Ma are interpreted as derived from rocks formed during the Famatinian orogeny in Argentina. The youngest grain of 357 Ma (Achalian) is also interpreted as derived from rocks present to the west in Argentina. -
The Microvertebrate Fauna of the Upper Triassic (Revueltian) Snyder Quarry, North-Central New Mexico
New Mexico Geological Society, 56th Field Conference Guidebook, Geology of the Chama Basin, 2005. p. 319-334. 319 THE MICROVERTEBRATE FAUNA OF THE UPPER TRIASSIC (REVUELTIAN) SNYDER QUARRY, NORTH-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO ANDREW B. HECKERT1 AND HILLARY S. JENKINS2 1New Mexico Museum of Natural History, 1801 Mountain Road NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104-1375 2Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, Duke University, 103 Old Chemistry Box 90229, Durham, NC 27708 ABSTRACT.—The Snyder quarry is a well-documented assemblage of Late Triassic invertebrates and vertebrates from the Painted Desert Member of the Upper Triassic Petrified Forest Formation in the Chama Basin, north-central New Mexico. The presence of Revueltian index taxa, including the aetosaurs Typothorax coccinarum and Desmatosuchus chamaensis and the phytosaur Pseudopalatus buceros, demonstrate that the Snyder quarry is of Revueltian (early-mid Norian) age. Screenwashing matrix from the primary bonebed at the Snyder quarry yielded a moderately diverse assemblage of microvertebrates, some of which were not represented in the macrovertebrate fauna. Microvertebrate fossils from the Snyder quarry are mostly scales and bone fragments—complete teeth are unusually rare. New records include a tooth of the hybodontoid shark Lonchidion and numerous scales of a palaeoniscid fish tentatively assigned to aff. Turseodus. The microvertebrate assemblage differs some- what from the known macrovertebrate assemblage, and includes many more osteichthyan fossils. Osteichthyans dominate the microvertebrate fauna, and include semionotids, redfieldiids, palaeoniscoids, and indeterminate sarcopterygians. Osteichthyans are largely represented by scales, with the exception of the indeterminate sarcopterygians and actinopterygians, represented by fragments of dentigerous toothplates, fossils previously assigned to “colobodontids.” The microvertebrate tetrapod fauna represented by teeth includes metoposaurid amphibians, juvenile (?) phytosaurs (?), probable dinosaurs, aetosaurs and other diverse, unidentified archosauromorphs. -

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Irati Formation (Cisuralian, Kungurian) is noteworthy for many sedimentological, paleontological and taphonomic features, of great significance for unweaving paleoenvironmental details of deposition. Two members make up this formation: Taquaral, the lower, and Assistência. In the Taquaral Member, lithologic features, sedimentary structures and paleontologic data allowed the recognition of three facies. The lowermost sandy facies bears a rich and diversified vertebrate fauna. The second facies, a silty shale, contains a crustacean endemic family Clarkecariidae, never known in any other deposits of the world, attesting an isolation of the bodywater, during the deposition of this facies. The third facies, known only in the state of Paraná shows intermittent conditions for calcareous deposits. Bivalves are present only in the calcareous facies, deposited in the upper half of this member. This study provides a synthesis of the paleontological record of the member Taquaral and a interpretation of its depositional environments, based on sedimentological and paleontological data. Keywords: Cisuralian; Kungurian; Paleozoic; Chondrichthyes; Crustacea; Anaspidacea RESUMEN La Formación Irati (Cisuraliense, Kunguriense) se destaca por sus características sedimentológicas, paleontológicas y tafonómicas, importantes para conocer detalles paleoambientales y deposicionales.
