Lab 10-Carboniferous+Perm-Online Lab 10: Carboniferous/Permian Observations How This Lab Will Work 1. Open a Word doc or similar on your computer 2. At various points I will ask you to answer a question based on the activities in this lab. 3. I will indicate these points by this symbol: Please answer these questions in your Word doc. 4. After you have assembled the answers into your Word doc, go to the course Canvas page. 5. On the module for this week there is a link to TurnItIn. 6. Please upload your document using the TurnInIt. 7. That completes the lab assignment. :) Reminder on Observation Project Please remember that as we go through these, you should be using these fossils to construct your lab observation project, which was detailed last time. Easy to put off, hard to catch up. ;) Topics Today: 1. Introduction to Carboniferous-Permian 2. Phylum Rhizaria: Fusulinida 3. Phylum Bryozoa: Archimedes 4. Phylum Plantae: Glossopteris 5.

Phylum Chordata: Gorgonopsia Geology 121 Lab 10: Carboniferous-Permian, page 1 of 7 Introduction to Carboniferous-Permian In today’s lab we’ll look at specimens from the Carboniferous and the Permian. The Carboniferous was period of high O2 and high CO2. It is typically divided in North America into the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian, so a sketch of today’s time periods looks like this: Permian Pennsylvanian Carboniferous Mississippian These time periods saw developments of some things we haven’t seen before—namely, land animals, foraminifera, and forests of land plants. This was an amazing and fruitful period of life —but when the Permian ended, the crash was so bad that it nearly wiped out everything that came before. We’ll need a new phylogenetic chart in addition to our old metazoan (animal) chart; I’ve circled the eukaryote groups we’ll cover today: Geology 121 Lab 10: Carboniferous-Permian, page 2 of 7 Phylum Rhizaria: Fusulinida Rhizaria is a supergroup of mostly single-celled eukaryotes, including radiolaria and foraminifera. Fusulinida are tiny, foot-ball shaped forms that constitute huge numbers in the fossil record, and in some cases pack tightly into rocks like solidified Rice Crispies. https://www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/vc/foraminifera/ https://geokansas.ku.edu/fusulinids 1.

    Rediscovery of the holotype of Clelandina major Broom, 1948 (Gorgonopsia: Rubidgeinae) with implications for the identity of this species Christian F. Kammerer North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, 11 W. Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604, U.S.A., and Evolutionary Studies Institute, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, WITS, Johannesburg, 2050 South Africa E-mail: [email protected] Received 7 November 2017. Accepted 8 December 2017 No specimen number was given for the holotype of the rubidgeine gorgonopsian species Clelandina major Broom, 1948 in its original description. Historically, a specimen in the Rubidge Collection (RC 94) was considered to represent Broom’s type specimen for C. major. However, recent study has revealed that the holotype of C. major is in fact a different specimen in the McGregor Museum in Kimberley (MMK 5031). The morphology of this specimen is consistent with the genus Clelandina, contra work based on RC 94 that considered C. major referable to Aelurognathus. Clelandina major is here considered synonymous with the type species Clelandina rubidgei. MMK 5031 represents only the fifth known specimen of this rare and unusual gorgonopsian.

    Kingdom – Protozoa or Protista Note: Forams have been included Phylum – Foraminifera (Forams) in both the Protozoa kingdom or 1) Order Fusilinida (Fusilinids) the Protista kingdom and you will find variation in the books. 2) Genus Nummulites Forams are small (usually less than 1 mm) shelled aquatic species. There are over 10,000 known species. Most are benthic and marine, but pelagic and fresh-water species do exist. The larger forams are excellent index fossils for both age and environment for much of geologic time as their form and structure continuously evolved. They are used in oil industry research in understanding geologic environment of drilled strata. Fusulinida is an extinct order of Foraminifera that lived from the Silurian until the Permian Periods of the Paleozoic Era. They tests (shells) were composed of tightly packed microgranular calcite. Genus Nummulites - A genus of relatively large (0.5-2 inches) modern recent forams found in Eocene to Miocene rocks. The Top pyramids in Egypt are constructed of fossiliferous limestone full view of Nummulites Horizontally bisected 1 inch Kingdom – ANIMALIA 3) Genus Astraeospongia Phylum – Porifera (Sponges) 4) Genus Hydnoceras Sponges are the simplest of animals, lacking tissues or organs. However, sponge cells are integrated and organized for filter feeding, waste deposal, reproduction, and secreting a calcite base that fixes the anchors the animal to substrate. The skeletal structure is often comprised of silica and forms protective spicules. Sponges get their name from the fact that their unicellular food is not taken into a single mouth. It is filtered out of water that passes through many pores, connected by canals, in their bodies.

    237 The Year 2000 Classification of the Agglutinated Foraminifera MICHAEL A. KAMINSKI Department of Earth Sciences, University College London, Gower Street, London WCIE 6BT, U.K.; and KLFR, 3 Boyne Avenue, Hendon, London, NW4 2JL, U.K. [[email protected]] ABSTRACT A reclassification of the agglutinated foraminifera (subclass Textulariia) is presented, consisting of four orders, 17 suborders, 27 superfamilies, 107 families, 125 subfamilies, and containing a total of 747 valid genera. One order (the Loftusiida Kaminski & Mikhalevich), five suborders (the Verneuilinina Mikhalevich & Kaminski, Nezzazatina, Loftusiina Kaminski & Mikhalevich, Biokovinina, and Orbitolinina), two families (the Syrianidae and the Debarinidae) and five subfamilies (the Polychasmininae, Praesphaerammininae Kaminski & Mikhalevich, Flatschkofeliinae, Gerochellinae and the Scythiolininae Neagu) are new. The classification is modified from the suprageneric scheme used by Loeblich & Tappan (1992), and incorporates all the new genera described up to and including the year 2000. The major differences from the Loeblich & Tappan classification are (1) the use of suborders within the hierarchical classification scheme (2) use of a modified Mikhalevich (1995) suprageneric scheme for the Astrorhizida (3) transfer of the Ammodiscacea to the Astrorhizida (4) restriction of the Lituolida to forms with simple wall structure (5) supression of the order Trochamminida, and (6) inclusion of the Carterinida within the Trochamminacea (7) use of the new order Loftusiida for forms with complex inner structures (8) broadening the definition of the Textulariida to include perforate forms that are initially uniserial or planispiral. Numerous minor corrections have been made based on the recent literature. INTRODUCTION The agglutinated foraminifera constitute a diverse and 25 geologically long-ranging group of organisms.
