    THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PALEONTOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS May 15, 1970 Paper 47 SIGNIFICANCE OF SUTURES IN PHYLOGENY OF AMMONOIDEA JURGEN KULLMANN AND JOST WIEDMANN Universinit Tubingen, Germany ABSTRACT Because of their complex structure ammonoid sutures offer best possibilities for the recognition of homologies. Sutures comprise a set of individual elements, which may be changed during the course of ontogeny and phylogeny as a result of heterotopy, hetero- morphy, and heterochrony. By means of a morphogenetic symbol terminology, sutural formulas may be established which show the composition of adult sutures as well as their ontogenetic development. WEDEKIND ' S terminology system is preferred because it is the oldest and morphogenetically the most consequent, whereas RUZHENTSEV ' S system seems to be inadequate because of its usage of different symbols for homologous elements. WEDEKIND ' S system includes only five symbols: E (for external lobe), L (for lateral lobe), I (for internal lobe), A (for adventitious lobe), U (for umbilical lobe). Investigations on ontogenetic development show that all taxonomic groups of the entire superorder Ammonoidea can be compared one with another by means of their sutural development, expressed by their sutural formulas. Most of the higher and many of the lower taxa can be solely characterized and arranged in phylogenetic relationship by use of their sutural formulas. INTRODUCTION Today very few ammonoid workers doubt the (e.g., conch shape, sculpture, growth lines) rep- importance of sutures as indication of ammonoid resent less complicated structures; therefore, phylogeny. The considerable advances in our numerous homeomorphs restrict the usefulness of knowledge of ammonoid evolution during recent these features for phylogenetic investigations.

    Early Permian Ammonoids from the Takakurayama Area, Abukuma Mountains, Northeast Japan Masayuki FUJIKAWA* and Chisato SUZUKI**

    Sci. Rep., Niigata Univ. (Geology), No. 26, 61-72, 2011 61 Early Permian ammonoids from the Takakurayama area, Abukuma Mountains, northeast Japan Masayuki FUJIKAWA* and Chisato SUZUKI** Abstract Four ammonoid species, Thalassoceras? sp., Artinskia sp., Agathiceras sp., and Paragastrioceras? sp., are described from the lower part of the Takakurayama Formation in the Takakurayama area, Abukuma Mountains, northeast Japan. This fauna indicates an Early Permian (Sakmarian-Artinskian) age. Three of these species except for Agathiceras sp. are described from the Takakurayama Formation for the first time. Key words: Abukuma Mountains, ammonoid, Early Permian, Takakurayama. Introduction The Permian Takakurayama Formation (Onuki, 1966) is widely distributed in the Takakurayama area, Abukuma Mountains, South Kitakami Belt, northeast Japan (Fig. 1). The formation is exposed on the northeastern slope of Mt. Takakurayama, where it generally strikes NNE-SSW and dips at 30-45º to the west. It consists mainly of black shale with subordinate sandstone and conglomerate, and is more than 805 m in total thickness (Fig. 2). The formation is subdivided into three members: the Iriishikura, Motomura, and Kashiwadaira members, in ascending order (Onuki, 1966). These members are equivalent to the Iriishikura, Motomura, and Kashiwadaira formations proposed by Yanagisawa and Nemoto (1961). Here, we adopt Onuki’s scheme, and refer to the lower part of the Takakurayama beds as the Iriishikura Member.

MINERAL.& Vol. XXXV, No. 1, pp. 1-108, Pls. 1-11 Permian Bivalves of Japan By Keiji NAKAzAwA and Norman D. NEwELL* (Received Aprii 28, 1968) Abstract Permian bivalve molluscs ofJapan shed interesting new light on the paleontological com- position of the youngest, post-fusulinid, marine faunas of the highest Paleozoic, and the bivalves tend to bridge the gap between the uppermost Permian and the lowest Triassic occupied in most regions ofthe world by a hiatus. However, there is a noteworthy break, even inJapan, between the Permian and Triassic ,systems where there are no bivalve species in common between the Permian and Triassic. Ninety-six species belonging to 46 genera of bivalves are distinguished in theJapanese Perrnian. Among these, 58 species, ofwhich 18 are new, are described in this paper. TowaPteria, Ensi teria, Tambanelta, HayasakaPecten, and Gnjocardita are proposed herein as new genera, and PermoPerna is presented as a new subgenus of Waagenoperna. It is worthy of note that the bivalves did not decrease in number and diversity during the late Permian, in contrast to some other invertebrates, and that the late Permian Gujo Formation con- tains a mixed fauna of Permian and Triassic aspect. Some Mesozoic types, such as Neoschizodus, Costatoria and WaagemoPerna, appeared in the middle Permian Kanokura Series.

The boundaries of the Permian System are defined by global stratotype sections and points (GSSPs) and the numerical ages of those boundaries appear to be determined with a precision better than 1‰. Nevertheless, much work remains to be done to refine the Permian timescale. Precise numerical age control within the Permian is very uneven and a global polarity timescale for the Permian is far from established. Chronostratigraphic definitions of three of the nine Permian stages remain unfinished and various issues of marine biostratigraphy are still unresolved. In the non-marine Permian realm, much progress has been made in correlation, especially using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans and both the footprints and bones of tetrapods (amphibians and reptiles), but many problems of correlation remain, especially the cross-correlation of non-marine and marine chronologies. The further development of a Perm- ian chronostratigraphic scale faces various problems, including those of stability and priority of nomenclature and concepts, disagreements over changing taxonomy, ammonoid v.

Barry Maynard (Ph.D.) Dr. Gorden L. Bell Jr. Prof. Scott D. Samson (Ph.D.) Abstract DesPite being recognized for many years, bentonites in the Middle Permian (Guadalupian Series) type area of west Texas and southeastern New Mexico, have received little research attention. As these important dePosits act as geologic timelines, they can be used as tools for long distance stratigraphic correlation and high-precision radioisotopic age dating. An important Problem that these bentonites can address is the lack of temporal control for the Guadalupian. This is an important time interval for significant changes in Earth’s climate and biodiversity that include events leading uP to, and Potentially including, the first pulse of a double-Phase mass extinction at the end of the Paleozoic. Also needed is better temporal constraint for key GuadaluPian global chemostratigraPhic and geomagnetic markers. In light of this, the duration of the Guadalupian stages and boundary age estimations need to be updated in order to assess cause and effect of these significant events.

Middle Permian ammonoid faunas are recognized from the Hosoo and Kamiyasse Formations in the Kamiyasse-Imo district, north of Kesennuma, Southern Kitakami Massif, Northeast Japan. The fau- nas comprise the following genera: Parastacheoceras, Demarezites, Demarezites?, Waagenoceras, Timor- ites, Tauroceras?, Cardiella, Adrianites, Agathiceras, Agathiceras?, Paraceltites and Cibolites. Para- stacheoceras bidentatus gen. and sp. nov. is newly proposed. The genera Demarezites, Tauroceras, Cardiella and Adrianites are described for first time from Japan. Based on these ammonoids, the middle part of the Hosoo Formation, upper part of the Hosoo Formation to the lower middle part of the Kamiyasse Forma- tion, and upper middle part of the Kamiyasse Formation are correlatable with the Middle Permian Road- ian, Wordian and Capitanian, respectively. The discovery of genera Demarezites and Cardiella strongly supports the previous hypothesis that the
