  • Morphology and Developmental Traits of the Trilobite Changaspis Elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China
    Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China GUANG-YING DU, JIN PENG, DE-ZHI WANG, QIU-JUN WANG, YI-FAN WANG, and HUI ZHANG Du, G.-Y., Peng, J., Wang, D.-Z., Wang, Q.-J., Wang, Y.-F., and Zhang, H. 2019. Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (4): 797–813. The morphology and ontogeny of the trilobite Changaspis elongata based on 216 specimens collected from the Lazizhai section of the Balang Formation (Stage 4, Series 2 of the Cambrian) in Guizhou Province, South China are described. The relatively continuous ontogenetic series reveals morphological changes, and shows that the species has seventeen thoracic segments in the holaspid period, instead of the sixteen as previously suggested. The development of the pygid- ial segments shows that their number gradually decreases during ontogeny. A new dataset of well-preserved specimens offers a unique opportunity to investigate developmental traits after segment addition is completed. The ontogenetic size progressions for the lengths of cephalon and trunk show overall compliance with Dyar’s rule. As a result of different average growth rates for the lengths of cephalon, trunk and pygidium, the length of the thorax relative to the body shows a gradually increasing trend; however, the cephalon and pygidium follow the opposite trend. Morphometric analysis across fourteen post-embryonic stages reveals growth gradients with increasing values for each thoracic segment from anterior to posterior. The reconstruction of the development traits shows visualization of the changes in relative growth and segmentation for the different body parts.

Der Bergbau Hüttenberg der Österreichisch-Alpine Montan- gesellschaft erzeugt mit rund 400 Werksangehörigen jährlich etwa 170.000 t Spateisenstein-Roherz, das ohne Aufbereitung klassiert mit Bahn der Hütte in Donawitz bei Leoben geliefert wird und 32—37% Fe, 3-4% Mn und 10-12% SiOQ enthält. Die aus vielen getrennten Erzkörpern bestehende Lagerstätte liegt östlich von Hüttenberg (Bahnhof 770 m Seehöhe) im Marmor des Hüttenberger Erzberges (1354 m Seehöhe); dieser ist ein west- licher Ausläufer des Saualm-Zirbitzkogelkammes und fällt gegen Norden in den tiefen Seitengraben von Heft—Mosinz, gegen Süden in den von Lölling ab (siehe Übersicht Beilage 13, Saualpenexkur- sion und geol. Karte in Beilage 5). Seine gegen Hüttenberg gerich- tete westliche Abdachung ist der Knappenberg rund um 1000 m Seehöhe mit den wichtigsten Anlagen des Bergbaues und dem Groß- teil der Siedlungen für die meist schon durch Generationen dem Bergbau verbundene Belegschaft. Die nach Knappenberg führende „Erzstraße" zweigt bereits etwa 4 km südlich Hüttenberg aus dem Görtschitztale ab. Die Lagerstätte wird nur untertägig mit derzeit 4 Haupt- sohlen gebaut (Erbstollen 1026 m, Heinrich- und Ludwigsohle, Albertstollen 936 m); das Grubengebäude erstreckt sich über die ganze Länge des Erzbergmarmors NW—SO fast 2,5 km (siehe Bei- lage 6).

    The depositional environment and taphonomy of the Homerian Aulacopleura shales fossil assemblage near Lodìnice, Czech Republic (Prague Basin, Perunican microcontinent) NIGEL C. HUGHES, JIØÍ KØÍ, JOSEPH H.S. MACQUAKER & WARREN D. HUFF Excavation of Joachim Barrande’s classic fossil locality of the “Aulacopleura shales” exposed on Na Černidlech Hill, near Loděnice reveals that most specimens were recovered from a 1.4 m interval exposed in “Barrande’s pits”. These are located at the eastern end of a 0.4 km trench dug in the mid 1800’s to expose the interval along strike. Over an hundred bedding planes occur within the 1.4 m interval, and thousands of articulated trilobites have been collected at the site. In- dividual bed surfaces vary in the density, size, and taxonomic composition of the fossils contained. Some preserve a di- verse benthic shelly fauna, others are almost exclusively dominated by the trilobite Aulacopleura koninckii, and a third variety is apparently barren of all shelly fossils. Isolated sclerites of A. koninckii are rare, and on almost all bedding sur- faces exoskeletons are predominantly partially articulated and lack both alignment and sclerite fragmentation. The oc- currence of A. koninckii conforms in many ways to the characteristics of a Type I trilobite lagerstätte of Brett et al. (2012). The presence of enrolled A. koninckii suggests that final burial may have resulted from relatively rapid obrution, although the condition of partial articulation indicates that many carcasses or exuviae partially disaggregated before burial. The mean size and density of A. koninckii specimens varies markedly among bedding planes, with some assem- blages entirely comprised of juveniles, suggesting that notably dense trilobite clustering was not restricted only to repro- ductively mature individuals.

The females have reduced wings and cannot fly. However, a study of material from the known ränge of the species has shown that "Sphaleroptera alpi- colana" is really a complex of several taxa. S. alpicolana s.str. oecurs in the central part of the Alps, in Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany. A new subspecies, S. a. buseri ssp.n. is described from the Valais (Switzerland). Four new species are described, based on distinet differences in the male and female genitalia: S. occiclentana sp.n., S. adamel- loi sp.n.. S. dentana sp.n. and .S'. orientana sp.n., with the subspecies S. o. suborientana. Distribution maps are giv- en for all taxa and where known, the early stages and life histories are described. The role of the Pleistocene glacia- tions in the speciation process is discussed.

Acknowledgement 84 References 84 Abstract Published microthermometrical data of fluid inclusions, which were trapped near or subsequent to the time of maximum subsidence of the Drau Range (Eastern Alps) have been used to evaluate the relationship between fluid flow and heat transfer. The evaluation is based on a numerical 1-D heat flow model, calibrated with vitrinite reflectance values. Aqueous fluid inclusions in quartz fissures crosscutting Permo-Scythian sediments and in fluorites hosted by Carnian carbonates give evidence for conductive heat transfer during fluid flow in the Late Cretaceous/Neogene. This implies that trapping temperatures of these fluids (125 °C to 220 °C in quartz, 115 °C to 180 °C in fluorite) can be used to approximate the burial temperatures (190 °C in the Permo-Scythian, 130 °C to 150 °C in the Carnian).

Introduction The Carnic Alps are an east-west directed 100 km long and 10—20 km broad mountain chain in Sou­ thern Austria and Northern Italy. Towards the east they continue to the Karawanken Alps forming the border between Austria and Yugoslavia. The highest peak is Hohe Warte (Mt. Coglians) in the Central Carnic Alps with an altitude of almost 2800 m; most peaks, however, range between 2000 to 2500 m. The mountains are separated by deep valleys and thus form a spectacular landscape, the scenery of which is strongly influenced by repeated alternations from shale dominated areas to rocky limestone regions.
