Campanium, Oberkreide, ca. 70-85 Millionen Jahre vor heute) Eine Literaturzusammenfassung Einleitung Altertümliche, exotische Muscheln in St. Bartholomä in der Weststeiermark? Etwa 20 km südlicher, um St. Josef, ja, da gibt es 15 Millionen Jahre alte Austern und Venusmuscheln und viele mehr. Aber von diesen ist hier nicht die Rede, sondern von einer Gruppe von Muscheln, die in der Zeit der Saurier und Ammoniten lebte und heute völlig ausgestorben ist – und die noch dazu gar nicht wie Muscheln aussahen. Es ist die Rede von den Rudisten, den Bechermuscheln, die aus der Gegend um St. Bartholomä schon fast seit den ersten geologischen Erkundungen um die Mitte des 19. Jhdts. bekannt sind. Sie verstecken sich ein wenig, aber beim Spazieren in den wenigen Gräben, in alten Steinbrüchen und in manchen straßennahen Felsen der Gegend kann man ihre mehr oder weniger auffälligen, teilweise sehr gut erhaltenen Reste doch immer wieder entdecken. Zuerst jedoch ein Überblick über diese exotischen, lange vergangenen Zeiten und ihre Wesen. Die Zeit der oberen Kreide – die Erde als „Thermalbad im Treibhausklima“ Gegenüber dem heutigen Zwischeneiszeitklima war die Zeit der Oberkreide, etwa von 100-66 Millionen Jahre (Ma) vor heute, Großteils eine Zeit des Treibhausklimas. Die Lufttemperaturen waren durchschnittlich um 10°C höher als heute und die Meerestemperaturen erreichten in den Tropen möglicherweise Spitzenwerte von 42° C – zu heiß zum Baden; und selbst die Temperaturen in der Tiefsee lagen zeitweise über 20° C.

SQUIRES Department of Geological Sciences, California State University, Northridge, California 91330-8266, USA AND LOUELLA R. SAUL Invertebrate Paleontology Section, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90007, USA Abstract. The Cretaceous record of the nuculid bivalve Acila (Truncacila) Grant & Gale, 1931, is established for the first time in the region extending from the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, southward to Baja California, Mexico. Its record is represented by three previously named species, three new species, and one possible new species. The previously named species are reviewed and refined. The cumulative geologic range of all these species is Early Cretaceous (late Aptian) to Late Cretaceous (early late Maastrichtian), with the highest diversity (four species) occurring in the latest Campanian to early Maastrichtian. Acila (T.) allisoni, sp. nov., known only from upper Aptian strata of northern Baja California, Mexico, is one of the earliest confirmed records of this subgenus. ‘‘Aptian’’ reports of Trun- cacila in Tunisia, Morocco, and possibly eastern Venzeula need confirmation. Specimens of the study area Acila are most abundant in sandy, shallow-marine deposits that accumulated under warm- water conditions. Possible deeper water occurrences need critical evaluation. INTRODUCTION and Indo-Pacific regions and is a shallow-burrowing de- posit feeder. Like other nuculids, it lacks siphons but has This is the first detailed study of the Cretaceous record an anterior-to-posterior water current (Coan et al., 2000).

INTRODUCTION, SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AND PAGE REFERENCES In the first part of this work, published in 1969, I gave a general intro- duction to the Suriname marine Mollusca ; in this second part the Bivalvia and Scaphopoda are treated. The system (and frequently also the nomen- clature) of the Bivalvia are those employed in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, (N) Mollusca 6, Part I, Bivalvia, Volume 1 and 2". These volumes were issued in 1969 and contain the most modern system of the Bivalvia. For the Scaphopoda the system of Thiele (1935) is used. Since I published in 1968 a preliminary list of the marine Bivalvia of Suriname, several additions and changes have been made. I am indebted to Messrs. D. J. Green, R. H. Hill and P. G. E. F. Augustinus for having provided many new coastal records for several species.

Wilson1, J. Zhang3,15 and N. J. Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.
  • Early Ontogeny of Jurassic Bakevelliids and Their Bearing on Bivalve Evolution

    Early Ontogeny of Jurassic Bakevelliids and Their Bearing on Bivalve Evolution

    Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution NIKOLAUS MALCHUS Malchus, N. 2004. Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (1): 85–110. Larval and earliest postlarval shells of Jurassic Bakevelliidae are described for the first time and some complementary data are given concerning larval shells of oysters and pinnids. Two new larval shell characters, a posterodorsal outlet and shell septum are described. The outlet is homologous to the posterodorsal notch of oysters and posterodorsal ridge of arcoids. It probably reflects the presence of the soft anatomical character post−anal tuft, which, among Pteriomorphia, was only known from oysters. A shell septum was so far only known from Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, and the bakevelliid Kobayashites. A review of early ontogenetic shell characters strongly suggests a basal dichotomy within the Pterio− morphia separating taxa with opisthogyrate larval shells, such as most (or all?) Praecardioida, Pinnoida, Pterioida (Bakevelliidae, Cassianellidae, all living Pterioidea), and Ostreoida from all other groups. The Pinnidae appear to be closely related to the Pterioida, and the Bakevelliidae belong to the stem line of the Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, Pterioidea, and Ostreoidea. The latter two superfamilies comprise a well constrained clade. These interpretations are con− sistent with recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on palaeontological and genetic (18S and 28S mtDNA) data. A more detailed phylogeny is hampered by the fact that many larval shell characters are rather ancient plesiomorphies. Key words: Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Bakevelliidae, larval shell, ontogeny, phylogeny.

  • Otago Submarine Canyons: Mapping and Macrobenthos

    Otago Submarine Canyons: Mapping and Macrobenthos

    Otago Submarine Canyons: Mapping and Macrobenthos Bryce A. Peebles A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Science at the University of Otago December 2013 ii Abstract Submarine canyons are steep-sided “V’ or “U” shaped valleys that incise continental slopes worldwide. The geophysical and oceanographic features of submarine canyons can produce environmental conditions that cause benthic assemblages to be distinctive and productive compared to those of the adjacent slope; however the assemblages are potentially vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts, including bottom fishing. In order to help inform policy and management, submarine canyons need to be objectively defined topographically and their benthic assemblages characterised. A canyon network occurs off the Otago Peninsula, south-eastern New Zealand, but lack of detailed bathymetric data and adequate benthic sampling has limited study of the canyons. This thesis outlines a method of defining submarine canyon areas and examines epifaunal and infaunal assemblages of the Otago canyons and adjacent slope. Objective definition of the Otago canyon network in the GIS software GRASS along with the steps to use this methodology worldwide are described. Archival count data from 1966-74 on the epifauna are analysed using the PRIMER suite of programs to characterise epifaunal assemblages. Anomurans, polychaetes, asteroids and ascidians make up 70% of the epifaunal canyon assemblage. The epifaunal assemblage is clearly defined by water depth and recognisable from 380 m. Quantitative sampling of infauna in Saunders canyon, Papanui canyon and adjacent slope was carried out to examine infaunal community structure of the canyons and adjacent slope. Infaunal canyon assemblages are dominated by polychaetes, amphipods, ophiuroids, decapods and isopods in canyons, accounting for 75% of collected individuals.
