With spring comes many changes… We changed the format for our most recent meeting on April 19 and held a Spring Social. This was a newer format for the Section and the feedback from attendees was quite positive. We were happy to have Mark Baranoski and Curtis Coe attend the event to give a brief teaser presentation for the upcoming field trip to Serpent Mound this summer that they are leading (see registration info and details in the newsletter!). With the onset of spring comes the end of the school year/graduation. We are so glad to have several student chapters of AIPG in Ohio; however, in particular, I want to thank the student members of Wright State and Ohio State Universities who I have been privileged to work with over the past school year (Youngstown State University, we aim/hope to develop that relationship with your chapter very soon!). Thank you to Ashlynn Boedecker, Wright State University Student Chapter President, for her hard work, continued active presence at AIPG functions, and hosting the AIPG Winter Meeting at Wright State. Ashlynn plans to continue her sediment biogeochemistry work in lakes and reservoirs when she moves to Texas this summer to start her PhD at Baylor University. Thank you to Becky Anderson, Ohio State University Student Chapter President, for her leadership in organizing a recent student field trip to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and keeping her chapter very active with AIPG this past year. Becky is going into her senior year and is preparing for her undergraduate thesis. I am happy to announce that we had a change on the executive committee; Ben White has been added as a new Member-At-Large to the Ohio Section. Ben joined the Executive Committee in March and is eager to get involved in Section activities. As 2018 events are coming together, here are some upcoming events that I am very excited about: - The Serpent Mound Field Trip is slated for June 16, 2018. Additional details and registration information are in this newsletter and on our website. I have been anxious for this event for quite some time, but after hearing the brief teaser by Mark and Curtis at the Spring Social, this should be an outstanding experience! - We are still ironing out details, but we plan to change things up a little bit and host our September meeting in northeast Ohio. More information to follow soon. (Youngstown State Student Chapter: we hope you are able to make it!) - Due to the overwhelming positive feedback last year, we are thrilled to host, in conjunction with our amazing friends at Cox-Colvin Associates, Inc., the second Vapor 2 American Institute of Professional Geologists Ohio Section April 2018 Newsletter Intrusion Short Course in 2018. The agenda/location will be ironed out soon; however, it should be similar to the 2017 event and will include CEUs/VAP PDHUs. As I mentioned in the last newsletter, I encourage all of you to get involved in the Section. You will meet some great people at Section events and hear about interesting topics. Also, it is never too early to start thinking about 2019 (I know it is only spring!), so if you are interested in joining the Executive Committee please do not hesitate to reach out to me! As you will see in this newsletter, the 2018 events are shaping up, so please stay tuned to our website for upcoming events and details (www.aipg- ohio.org/eventdetails.php). As always, if you have any questions or if you would like any additional information about AIPG or the Ohio Section, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or one of the Executive Committee members. I hope to see you all at an event in 2018! Thank you, Colin O.

Limited Space – Seating is limited to 13 people. Start Time: Meet in the parking lot of the Serpent Mound Visitor Center (3850 State Route 73, Peebles, OH 45660) at 9:00 AM with field trip starting at 9:30 AM. End Time: About 6:00 PM in the parking lot of the Serpent Mound Visitor Center. Lunch: Included and will be combined with the Archaeology Family Event. Guide book included. ABS TR ACT The Serpent Mound Impact Structure is located west of the Appalachian escarpment in southern Ohio near the intersection of Adams, Highland, and Pike Counties. It is roughly an 8 km (5 mile) diameter circular geologic feature when viewed with satellite imagery. On the ground it is one of the more complex folded/faulted geologic structures in the region, consisting of a central uplifted peak, surrounded by a transition zone and an outer ring graben. The deformed Paleozoic Era rocks at the surface range in age from Ordovician to Mississippian Systems. The structure has been studied since first discovered in the 1830s by John Locke, who Picture taken from The Serpent Mound disturbance, south-central Ohio, by Frank Koucky and Stephen Reidel (1987) 5 American Institute of Professional Geologists Ohio Section April 2018 Newsletter called the area “Sunken Mountain”. Walter Bucher renamed it the Serpent Mound cryptovolcanic structure in the 1920s after the aboriginal serpentine effigy mound located within the transitional zone. Steve Reidel renamed the feature the Serpent Mound disturbance in 1982. The origin of the structure remained controversial between two groups for many years: either formed by deep seated endogenic “cryptovolcanic” forces, or an impact from a meteorite or comet. An impact crater origin was confirmed in the 1990s when Richard Carlton and others discovered planar deformation features (PDFs) in quartz grains from diamond- drilled rock core in the deep central uplift.

ISSN 2533-4050 (print), ISSN 2533-4069 (on-line). Abstract: Tragoceras falcatum (SCHLOTHEIM, 1820) is a common, loosely coiled estonioceratid (Tarphycerida, Cephalopoda) occurring in the Kunda Regional Stage (early Darriwilian, Middle Ordovician) of Estonia. Although the species is quite well- known, we document some features for the first time. For example, one specimen from the Harku quarry (Estonia) with a phosphatized replacement shell exhibits growth halts (megastriae) on the body chamber. As they are not preserved in smaller specimens, we suggest that these megastriae formed at the approach of maturity, possibly also reflecting sexual dimorphism and cycles of reproduction (iteroparity?). Additionally, the specimen shows minute soft-tissue imprints (drag bands and pseudosu- tures). These imprints are comparable to patterns in other cephalopods such as ammonoids, bactritids and other nautiloids, but have not yet been reported from Palaeozoic nautiloids.

Main morphological innovations in the evolution of nautiloid cephalopods; the formation of endosiphuncular and cameral deposits, shell coiling, truncation of the phragmocone’s apical end, and contracted aperture, which originated to make the relative shell positioning in the water more efficient. Changes in the lobe line structure and various types of complications in the primary lobes (ventral, umbonal, and lateral) were the most important morphological innovations in convolute ammonoids. The functional significance of these changes remains unclear, but recognition of equally significant changes in primary lobes requires a review of the Paleozoic Ammonoidea taxonomy at the suborder level. This paper is a continuation of a study whose first lation of the buoyancy process and to support in various results have been published (Barskov et al., 1993).

Egg size is also approximately equal to mantle length of hatchlings in 45 cephalopod species with rudimentary shells. Paired data on the size of the initial chamber versus embryonic shell in 235 species of Ammonoidea, 46 Bactritida, 13 Nautilida, 22 Orthocerida, 8 Tarphycerida, 4 Oncocerida, 1 Belemnoidea, 4 Sepiida and 1 Spirulida demonstrated that, although there is a positive relationship between these parameters in some taxa, initial chamber size cannot be used to predict egg size in extinct cephalopods; the size of the embryonic shell may be more appropriate for this task. The evolution of reproductive strategies in cephalopods in the geological past was marked by an increasing significance of small-egged taxa, as is also seen in simultaneously evolving fish taxa. Key words: embryonic shell, initial chamber, hatchling, egg size, Cephalopoda, Ammonoidea, reproductive strategy, Nautilida, Coleoidea.

Here, we 16 report a new genus, Cabaneroceras n. gen., and a new species of C. aznari n. sp. from 17 Middle Ordovician strata of central Spain. This finding widens the paleogeographic range of 18 the order toward high-paleolatitudinal areas of peri-Gondwana. A curved conch, 19 characteristic for the new genus, was previously unknown from members of the Intejocerida. 20 21 UUID: http://zoobank.org/21f0a09c-5265-4d29-824b-6b105d36b791 22 23 1 24 Introduction 25 26 Intejocerids are a unique group of cephalopods, previously known only from Siberia (Balashov 27 1960, 1962, 1968) and North America (Flower, 1964, 1968; VanCamp Gil, 1988). The most 28 conspicuous characters of intejocerids are their long septal necks, and their large siphuncles, 29 which are filled with heavy lamellar deposits and which form a coral-like radial pattern in cross 30 section. Like other cephalopods with long septal necks and heavy endosiphuncular deposits, 31 intejocerids were relatively large for their time with conch diameters reaching more than 100 32 mm.

  • High-Level Classification of the Nautiloid Cephalopods: a Proposal for the Revision of the Treatise Part K
    Swiss Journal of Palaeontology (2019) 138:65–85 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13358-019-00186-4 (0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,- volV) REGULAR RESEARCH ARTICLE High-level classification of the nautiloid cephalopods: a proposal for the revision of the Treatise Part K 1 2 Andy H. King • David H. Evans Received: 4 November 2018 / Accepted: 13 February 2019 / Published online: 14 March 2019 Ó Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT) 2019 Abstract High-level classification of the nautiloid cephalopods has been largely neglected since the publication of the Russian and American treatises in the early 1960s. Although there is broad general agreement amongst specialists regarding the status of nautiloid orders, there is no real consensus or consistent approach regarding higher ranks and an array of superorders utilising various morphological features has been proposed. With work now commencing on the revision of the Treatise Part K, there is an urgent need for a methodical and standardised approach to the high-level classification of the nautiloids. The scheme proposed here utilizes the form of muscle attachment scars as a diagnostic feature at subclass level; other features (including siphuncular structures and cameral deposits) are employed at ordinal level. We recognise five sub- classes of nautiloid cephalopods (Plectronoceratia, Multiceratia, Tarphyceratia nov., Orthoceratia, Nautilia) and 18 orders including the Order Rioceratida nov. which contains the new family Bactroceratidae. This scheme has the advantage of relative simplicity (it avoids the use of superorders) and presents a balanced approach which reflects the considerable morphological diversity and phylogenetic longevity of the nautiloids in comparison with the ammonoid and coleoid cephalopods.

PhD. Environmental Sciences PhD Program, Wright State University, 2020. The hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of prominent heteromorph ammonoid morphotypes and the functional morphology of ammonitic septa. Ammonoid cephalopods have chambered shells that regulated buoyancy. The morphology of their shells strongly influenced the physical properties acting on these animals during life. Heteromorph ammonoids, which undergo changes in coiling throughout ontogeny, are the focus of this dissertation. The biomechanics of these cephalopods are investigated in a framework involving functional morphology, paleoecology, and possible modes of life. Constructional constraints were investigated for the marginally-corrugated septal walls within the chambered ammonoid shell. These constraints governed the positive relationship between septal complexity and terminal size. Furthermore, increased septal complexity facilitated liquid retention via surface tension.

EVANS, A.H. KING, K. HISTON & M. CICHOWOLSKI Abstract: In terms of their use as biostratigraphical tools, nautiloid cephalopods are the poor relations of ammonoids. Neverthe- less, in certain situations, they may provide useful biostratigraphical data, particularly where other biostratigraphically valuable taxa are not present; or in certain situations demonstrate a resolution as great as, or greater than ammonoids, trilobites, grapto- lites or conodonts. Nautiloid cephalopods are of especial value in palaeobiogeographical studies, but their use for this purpose may be hampered by the poor understanding of the stratigraphical ranges of individual taxa. The biostratigraphical value of nautiloid cephalopods is demonstrated here through a number of case studies of Ordovician taxa, combined with a review of their biostrati- graphical use in Palaeozoic and Mesozoic successions. These both demonstrate the potential of this group and indicate great scope for further research.

Every genus of bivalves displays a set of distinctive morphological characters, on which basis they can be differentiated from each other. You know that bivalves show a wide range of adaptation, from marine to freshwater and from infaunal burrowers, epifaunal to active swimmers. Therefore, marine bivalves possess different morphological characters as compared with those of non-marine forms. In this experiment, you will work with some common genera of cephalopod molluscs. They are exclusively marine animals and are more active, quick movers, intelligent carnivorous predators with varied shell morphology. They occupy the same ecological niche as fishes. The Class Cephalopoda consists of three subclasses: Nautiloidea, Ammonoidea and Coleoidea. Among which Nautiloidea and extinct Ammonoidea are commonly found as fossils. The third subclass, Coleoidea, comprises BGYCL………………………………………………………………………………………………….….............….…...-138 Stratigraphy and Palaeontology: Laboratory primarily soft bodied animals. Like fishes, cephalopods are equipped with highly developed eyes and sensory organs. They are adapted to fast swimming and have developed more efficient mechanisms to locate their prey, detect predators and to escape from them.
