Shell Microstructures in Early Mollusks

China, 414601 Madris Ave., Norwalk, CA 90650, USA Abstract: Shell microstructures in some of the oldest known mollusk fossils (from the early to middle Cambrian Period; 542 to 510 million years ago) are diverse, strong, and in some cases unusual. We herein review our recent work focused on different aspects of shell microstructures in Cambrian mollusks, briefly summarizing some of the major conclusions from a few of our recent publications and adding some new analysis. Overall, the data suggest that: (1) mollusks rapidly evolved disparate shell microstructures; (2) early mollusks had a complex shell with a different type of shell microstructure in the outer layer than in the inner one; (3) the modern molluscan biomineralization system, with precise control over crystal shapes and arrangements in a mantle cavity bounded by periostracum, was already in place during the Cambrian; (4) shell microstructure data provide a suite of characters useful in phylogenetic analyses of mollusks and mollusk-like Problematica, allowing better determination -
Terreneuvian Stratigraphy and Faunas from the Anabar Uplift, Siberia
Terreneuvian stratigraphy and faunas from the Anabar Uplift, Siberia ARTEM KOUCHINSKY, STEFAN BENGTSON, ED LANDING, MICHAEL STEINER, MICHAEL VENDRASCO, and KAREN ZIEGLER Kouchinsky, A., Bengtson, S., Landing, E., Steiner, M., Vendrasco, M., and Ziegler, K. 2017. Terreneuvian stratigraphy and faunas from the Anabar Uplift, Siberia. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (2): 311‒440. Assemblages of mineralized skeletal fossils are described from limestone rocks of the lower Cambrian Nemakit-Daldyn, Medvezhya, Kugda-Yuryakh, Manykay, and lower Emyaksin formations exposed on the western and eastern flanks of the Anabar Uplift of the northern Siberian Platform. The skeletal fossil assemblages consist mainly of anabaritids, molluscs, and hyoliths, and also contain other taxa such as Blastulospongia, Chancelloria, Fomitchella, Hyolithellus, Platysolenites, Protohertzina, and Tianzhushanella. The first tianzhushanellids from Siberia, including Tianzhushanella tolli sp. nov., are described. The morphological variation of Protohertzina anabarica and Anabarites trisulcatus from their type locality is documented. Prominent longitudinal keels in the anabaritid Selindeochrea tripartita are demon- strated. Among the earliest molluscs from the Nemakit-Daldyn Formation, Purella and Yunnanopleura are interpreted as shelly parts of the same species. Fibrous microstructure of the outer layer and a wrinkled inner layer of mineralised cuticle in the organophosphatic sclerites of Fomitchella are reported. A siliceous composition of the globular fossil Blastulospongia -

Women Research Leaders in the Australian Learned Academies, 1954–1976
Women Research Leaders in the Australian Learned Academies, 1954–1976 Patricia Grimshaw1 and Rosemary Francis2 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: While the presence of women in the academic profession at levels above tutor, demonstrator, research assistant or the first rungs of lectureships was uncommon before the 1980s, individual women of talent nevertheless forged research careers of outstanding excellence. Among these scholars were the women who became the first female fellows elected to one of the four Australian learned academies founded between 1954 and 1976. The period witnessed the election of fourteen women to these academies, the first being Dorothy Hill, elected in 1956 to the Australian Academy of Science that was established two years previously. After Hill two further women were elected to that academy over the next twenty years, five women to the Australian Academy of the Humanities and four to the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, founded in 1969 and 1971 respectively. Two women were among the sixty-four foundation fellows of the Australian Academy of Technical Sciences in 1976. Diverse in the paths that led to their recognition by their male peers as leaders in their research fields, the women were alike in their determination and persistence in pushing the boundaries of knowledge in their chosen disciplines, and the generosity with which they engaged with postgraduate students, fellow academics and the wider public. As the women’s movement inspired more women to pursue advanced research, and the academies to develop a more nuanced evaluation of women’s contributions, many of these first academicians lived to observe the increased rate of entry of women researchers to the academies though gender proportions remained unbalanced. -

Rumors of marine reptiles, trilobite mass death assemblages, and even dinosaurs in Yellowstone have lured a team of paleontologists in the same way that the legends of "Colter's Hell" and Jim Bridger's "Tall Tales" have attracted many before. Compared to other natural resources at Yellowstone National Park, fossils have received little attention. Except for the research conducted on the petrified forests, Yellowstone's fossils have remained a relative "paleo-incognita" more than 125 years after the park's establishment. As this survey demonstrates, the lack of paleontological research is not due to a lack of significant fossils. Perhaps historian Aubrey Haines provided the best explanation in his comment, "Past administrations preferred that resources not in the public's eye be left alone" (pers. -
