Nonmarine ostracodes from the Lower Cretaceous Wakino Subgroup in northern Kyushu were studied biostratigraphically. Analysis of abundant fossil ostracodes has led to rec­ ognition of 11 assemblages and subassemblages. Vertical changes of these assemblages have made possible biostratigraphical zonation by ostracodes as follows: the Darwinula a. z. (assem­ blage zone), the transitional a. z. and the large Cypridacean a. z. in ascending order. Using this zonation, the formations of the Wakino Subgroup in the eastern area are correlated with those in the western type area. Key words: Biostratigraphy, Lower Cretaceous, Northern Kyushu, ostracodes, southwest Japan, Wakino Subgroup Introduction propose a correlation scheme. The correlation of Lower Cretaceous nonmarine sedi­ Geologic settings ments is controversial in Eastern Asia, because their rela­ tions with marine sediments are known only in restricted Geologic settings of the study area were already reported regions (Matsukawa and Obata, 1992, 1994).

Etyrnologically the word "geology" should apply equally to the study of both these regions, but, for convenience and from the limitation of the individual human mind, it is usually confined to the problems presented by the rocks composing the crust, wMle those of the deeper regions lie outside its scope. Such, briefly, are the conclusions which may be drawn from the sciences of terrestrial observation. The statement, I know, is in- complete and imperfect; some at least of the conclusions will doubtless be traversed and regarded as incompatible with the results obtained from other lines of research, but in their main features of the threefold division of physical condition and the twofold division ot'chemical composition they seem to me so well founded that the burden of proof lies with those who would traverse, rather than with those who are prepared to accept, them. V.—NOTES ON AMMONITES. By L. F. SPATH, B.SC, F.G.S. I. TI1HE following notes were compiled, for the most part, some years J_ ago, but their publication in the present form suggested itself to the writer on the perusal (during a short "leave" from active service) of a number of recent papers ou Ammonites, principally Professor Swinnerton and A. E. Trueman's study of the " Morphology and Development of the Ammonite Septum".1 The main part of that inquiry is devoted to the development of the septum, illustrated by successive " septa 1 sections", and it is claimed that where sutural development cannot be worked out, "septal sections" will to some extent serve as a substitute.

  • The First Possible Choristoderan Trackway from the Lower
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The frst possible choristoderan trackway from the Lower Cretaceous Daegu Formation of South Korea and its implications on choristoderan locomotion Yuong‑Nam Lee1*, Dal‑Yong Kong2 & Seung‑Ho Jung2 Here we report a new quadrupedal trackway found in the Lower Cretaceous Daegu Formation (Albian) in the vicinity of Ulsan Metropolitan City, South Korea, in 2018. A total of nine manus‑pes imprints show a strong heteropodous quadrupedal trackway (length ratio is 1:3.36). Both manus and pes tracks are pentadactyl with claw marks. The manus prints rotate distinctly outward while the pes prints are nearly parallel to the direction of travel. The functional axis in manus and pes imprints suggests that the trackmaker moved along the medial side during the stroke progressions (entaxonic), indicating weight support on the inner side of the limbs. There is an indication of webbing between the pedal digits. These new tracks are assigned to Novapes ulsanensis, n. ichnogen., n. ichnosp., which are well‑matched not only with foot skeletons and body size of Monjurosuchus but also the fossil record of choristoderes in East Asia, thereby N. ulsanensis could be made by a monjurosuchid‑like choristoderan and represent the frst possible choristoderan trackway from Asia. N. ulsanensis also suggests that semi‑aquatic choristoderans were capable of walking semi‑erect when moving on the ground with a similar locomotion pattern to that of crocodilians on land. South Korea has become globally famous for various tetrapod footprints from Cretaceous strata1, among which some clades such as frogs2, birds3 and mammals4 have been proved for their existences only with ichnological evidence.

Their resuits showed tiac sedinenta ana foraminiferans are depositea in the Zscanaba Trough, in the southern part of the Corda Ridge, by turbidity currents with a continental origin. They list 22 species of fararniniferans from the Gorda Rise (See Appendix 13. A more recent study collected geophysical, geological, and biological data from the Gorda Ridge, with particular emphasis on the northern part of the Ridge (Clague et al. 19843. Geological data suggest the presence of widespread low-temperature hydrothermal activity along the axf s of the northern two-thirds of the Corda 3idge. However, the relative age of these vents, their present activity and presence of sulfide deposits are currently unknown. The biological data, again with an emphasis on foraminiferans, indicate relatively high species diversity and high density , perhaps assoc iated with widespread hydrotheraal activity.

Correlation of discussed profiles is based on both paleontological and geological investigations. INTRODUCTION Notwithstanding a considerable advance in the studies on the Gałęziee syncline (e.g. Ż а к o w a 1970 a, b, 1971 a; Jachowicz, Żakowa, 1969; Jurkiewicz, Żak o w a, 1972), not all the problems concerning the stratigraphy of the Carboniferous rocks have been- satisfactorily elucidated. The present paper deals with the stratigraphy of the Upper Visean calcareous rocks (visible in outcrops) and their lateral equivalents* i.e. calcareous-clayey rocks (known from boreholes). According to Czarnocki (1965) and Kwiatkowski (1959), the calcareous rocks represent the whole Visean, whereas Czarniec­ ki, Kostecka and Kwiatkowski (1965) are of the opinion that they belong to D3_2zones only.

These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related sub- jects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the the needs of the presentation.
