  • Annotated Checklist of Fossil Fishes from the Smoky Hill Chalk of the Niobrara Chalk (Upper Cretaceous) in Kansas
    Lucas, S. G. and Sullivan, R.M., eds., 2006, Late Cretaceous vertebrates from the Western Interior. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 35. 193 ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF FOSSIL FISHES FROM THE SMOKY HILL CHALK OF THE NIOBRARA CHALK (UPPER CRETACEOUS) IN KANSAS KENSHU SHIMADA1 AND CHRISTOPHER FIELITZ2 1Environmental Science Program and Department of Biological Sciences, DePaul University,2325 North Clifton Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60614; and Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Fort Hays State University, 3000 Sternberg Drive, Hays, Kansas 67601;2Department of Biology, Emory & Henry College, P.O. Box 947, Emory, Virginia 24327 Abstract—The Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Chalk is an Upper Cretaceous marine deposit found in Kansas and adjacent states in North America. The rock, which was formed under the Western Interior Sea, has a long history of yielding spectacular fossil marine vertebrates, including fishes. Here, we present an annotated taxo- nomic list of fossil fishes (= non-tetrapod vertebrates) described from the Smoky Hill Chalk based on published records. Our study shows that there are a total of 643 referable paleoichthyological specimens from the Smoky Hill Chalk documented in literature of which 133 belong to chondrichthyans and 510 to osteichthyans. These 643 specimens support the occurrence of a minimum of 70 species, comprising at least 16 chondrichthyans and 54 osteichthyans. Of these 70 species, 44 are represented by type specimens from the Smoky Hill Chalk. However, it must be noted that the fossil record of Niobrara fishes shows evidence of preservation, collecting, and research biases, and that the paleofauna is a time-averaged assemblage over five million years of chalk deposition.

  • 35-51 New Data on Pleuropholis Decastroi (Teleostei, Pleuropholidae)
    Geo-Eco-Trop., 2019, 43, 1 : 35-51 New data on Pleuropholis decastroi (Teleostei, Pleuropholidae), a “pholidophoriform” fish from the Lower Cretaceous of the Eurafrican Mesogea Nouvelles données sur Pleuropholis decastroi (Teleostei, Pleuropholidae), un poisson “pholidophoriforme” du Crétacé inférieur de la Mésogée eurafricaine Louis TAVERNE 1 & Luigi CAPASSO 2 Résumé: Le crâne et le corps de Pleuropholis decastroi, un poisson fossile de l’Albien (Crétacé inférieur) du sud de l’Italie, sont redécrits en détails. P. decastroi diffère des autres espèces du genre par ses deux nasaux en contact médian et qui séparent complètement le dermethmoïde ( = rostral) des frontaux. Avec son maxillaire extrêmement élargi qui couvre la mâchoire inférieure et son supramaxillaire fortement réduit, P. decastroi semble plus nettement apparenté avec Pleuropholis cisnerosorum, du Jurassique supérieur du Mexique, qu’avec les autres espèces du genre. Par ses mâchoires raccourcies et ses nombreux os orbitaires, Pleuropholis apparaît également comme le genre le plus spécialisé de la famille. La position systématique des Pleuropholidae au sein du groupe des « pholidophoriformes » est discutée. Mots-clés: Pleuropholis decastroi, Albien, Italie du sud, Pleuropholis, Pleuropholidae, “Pholidophoriformes”, ostéologie, position systématique. Abstract: The skull and the body of Pleuropholis decastroi, a fossil fish from the marine Albian (Lower Cretaceous) of southern Italy, are re-described in details. P. decastroi differs from the other species of the genus by their two nasals that are in contact along the mid-line, completely separating the dermethmoid (= rostral) from the frontals. With its extremely broadened maxilla that covers the lower jaw and its strongly reduced supramaxilla, P. decastroi seems more closely related to Pleuropholis cisnerosorum, from the Upper Jurassic of Mexico, than to the other species of the genus.

  • The Scales of Mesozoic Actinopterygians
    Mesozoic Fishes – Systematics and Paleoecology, G. Arratia & G. Viohl (eds.): pp. 83-93, 6 figs. © 1996 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISBN 3-923871–90-2 The scales of Mesozoic actinopterygians Hans-Peter SCHULTZE Abstract Cycloid scales (elasmoid scales with circuli) are a unique character of teleosts above the level of Pholidophorus and Pholidophoroides. Cycloid scales have two layers. A bony layer, usually acellular, is superimposed on a basal plate composed of partially mineralized layers of plywoodlike laminated collagen fibres. The tissue of the basal layer is refered to here as elasmodin. Basal teleosts (sensu PATTERSON 1973) possess rhombic scales with a bony base overlain by ganoin (lepidosteoid ganoid scale). Amioid scales (elasmoid scales with longitudinally to radially arranged ridges or rods on the overlapped field) are found within halecomorphs. This scale type evolved more than once within primitive actinopterygians and other osteichthyan fishes. It may have even developed twice within halecomorphs, in Caturidae and Amiidae, from rhombic scales of lepidosteoid type. Some basal genera of halecomorphs show remains of a dentine layer between ganoin and bone that is characteristic of actinopterygians below the halecostome level. The Semionotidae placed at the base of the Halecostomi, exhibit scale histology transitional between the palaeoniscoid and lepidosteoid scale type. Introduction Actinopterygians, from primitive Coccolepididae to advanced teleosts, are represented in the Solnhofen lithographic limestone. These are fishes with rhombic and round scales. Ganoid scales of the lepidosteoid type are found in the following fishes: semionotid Lepidotes and Heterostrophus, macrosemiids Histionotus, Macrosemius, Notagogus and Propterus, ophiopsid Ophiopsis, caturids Furo and Brachyichthys, aspido- rhynchid Belonostomus, pleuropholid Pleuropholis, and pholidophorid Pholidophorus.

  • Ichthyodectiform Fishes from the Late Cretaceous
    Mesozoic Fishes 5 – Global Diversity and Evolution, G. Arratia, H.-P. Schultze & M. V. H. Wilson (eds.): pp. 247-266, 12 figs., 2 tabs. © 2013 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISBN 978-3-89937-159-8 Ichthyodectiform fi shes from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) of Arkansas, USA Kelly J. IRWIN and Christopher FIELITZ Abstract Several specimens of the ichthyodectiform fishes Xiphactinus audax and Saurocephalus cf. S. lanciformis are reported from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Brownstown Marl and Ozan formations of southwestern Arkansas, U.S.A. Seven individuals of Xiphactinus, based on incomplete specimens, are represented by various elements: disarticu- lated skull bones, jaw fragments, pectoral fin-rays, or vertebrae. The circular vertebral centra are diagnostic for X. audax rather than X. vetus. The specimen of Saurocephalus consists of a three-dimensional skull, lacking much of the skull roof bones. It is identified as Saurocephalus based on the shape of the predentary bone. This specimen provides the first record of entopterygoid teeth in Saurocephalus. These specimens represent new geographic and geologic distribution records of these taxa from the western Gulf Coastal Plain, which biogeographically links records from the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain with those from the Western Interior Sea. Introduction LEIDY (1854) was the first to report the presence of Cretaceous marine vertebrate fossils from Arkansas, yet in the intervening 150+ years, the body of work on the paleoichthyofauna of Arkansas remains limited (WILSON & BRUNER 2004). BARDACK (1965), GOODY (1976), CASE (1978), and RUSSELL (1988) re- ported geographic and geologic distributions for specific taxa, but few descriptive works on fossil fishes are available (see HUSSAKOF 1947; MEYER 1974; BECKER et al.

Daget (1964) definiu os ossos da série infraorbital como sendo os ossos que se dispõem ao longo do canal infraorbital (canal que segue da região nasal, passa abaixo das narinas e dos olhos e segue para trás pelo dermopterótico, chegando ao extraescapular e encontrando o canal da linha lateral), à frente do pterótico e anexados à margem da órbita. Expôs que podiam ser designados por número de ordem, da parte mais anterior para a mais posterior (e.g., infraorbital 1, infraorbital 2, infraorbital 3) ou por posição em relação a órbita (e.g., antorbital, suborbital e postorbital). O autor adotou a designação por ordem. Expôs ainda que é comum a denominação do último infraorbial como dermoesfenótico, osso no qual muitas vezes ocorre a anastomose do canal infraorbital com o canal supraorbital (canal que passa no nasal e no frontal). Para os ossos sem canal da série orbital, os quais Daget tratou como puramente membranosos, ele definiu como supraorbitais os ossos anexados ao longo da borda antero-lateral do frontal e como adenasal (= antorbital para outros autores) o osso entre o nasal e o primeiro infraorbital (Daget, 1964: fig. 38). Patterson (1973), da mesma forma que Daget (1964), denominou de infraorbitais os ossos anexados à margem inferior da órbita pelos quais passava o canal infraorbital e de supraorbitais os ossos anexados à margem superior da órbita e ao frontal.

However, a vast majority of these Early Cretaceous fossils lack precise geographical and stratigraphic data. The absence of such contextual proxies hinders our understanding of the apparent variations in faunal composition and abundance patterns across the Araripe Basin. We conducted controlled excavations in the Romualdo Member in order to provide a detailed account of its main stratigraphic, sedimentological and palaeontological features near Santana do Cariri, Ceara´ State. We provide the first fine-scale stratigraphic sequence ever established for the Romualdo Member and we distinguish at least seven concretion-bearing horizons. Notably, a 60-cm-thick group of layers (bMatraca˜oQ), located in the middle part of the member, is virtually barren of fossiliferous concretions.

SMITH WOODWARD, F .G.S., F .Z.S., of the British Museum tNatural History). I. INTRODUCTION. Since the publication of the revised edition of Dixon's ' Geology and Fossils of Sussex,' in 1878, no synoptical review of the ver­ tebrate fossils of the English Chalk appears to have been at­ tempted; and with the exception of the elaborate (though not critical) synopsis of genera in Mr. Etheridge's new edition of Phillips' 'Manual,' students of Cretaceous pal reontology can still find no other concise treatise on the subject. Much advance, how­ ever, has been made within the last ten years in our knowledge of later Mesozoic life; and I propose in the present communication to offer a brief epit ome of the facts in regard to the Vertebrata of the period, yielded by th e well-known uppermost division of the Meso­ zoic strata in Western Europe. Th e' Proceedings' of th e Asso­ ciation afford a most appropriate medium for the publication of such a review, so many of th e Members being interested in the treasures continually disinterred from th e numerous chalk pits of the South of England. And I have fortunately been able to compare with all that has been written th e unrivalled series of original specimens in the British Museum, and th e collection of Henry Willett, Esq., F .G.S., of Brighton, besides many othe r fossils in th e Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, the W oodwardian Museum, Cambridge, and the private cabinets of Mr.

  • Ambush Predator’ Guild – Are There Developmental Rules Underlying Body Shape Evolution in Ray-Finned Fishes? Erin E Maxwell1* and Laura AB Wilson2
    Maxwell and Wilson BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:265 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/265 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Regionalization of the axial skeleton in the ‘ambush predator’ guild – are there developmental rules underlying body shape evolution in ray-finned fishes? Erin E Maxwell1* and Laura AB Wilson2 Abstract Background: A long, slender body plan characterized by an elongate antorbital region and posterior displacement of the unpaired fins has evolved multiple times within ray-finned fishes, and is associated with ambush predation. The axial skeleton of ray-finned fishes is divided into abdominal and caudal regions, considered to be evolutionary modules. In this study, we test whether the convergent evolution of the ambush predator body plan is associated with predictable, regional changes in the axial skeleton, specifically whether the abdominal region is preferentially lengthened relative to the caudal region through the addition of vertebrae. We test this hypothesis in seven clades showing convergent evolution of this body plan, examining abdominal and caudal vertebral counts in over 300 living and fossil species. In four of these clades, we also examined the relationship between the fineness ratio and vertebral regionalization using phylogenetic independent contrasts. Results: We report that in five of the clades surveyed, Lepisosteidae, Esocidae, Belonidae, Sphyraenidae and Fistulariidae, vertebrae are added preferentially to the abdominal region. In Lepisosteidae, Esocidae, and Belonidae, increasing abdominal vertebral count was also significantly related to increasing fineness ratio, a measure of elongation. Two clades did not preferentially add abdominal vertebrae: Saurichthyidae and Aulostomidae. Both of these groups show the development of a novel caudal region anterior to the insertion of the anal fin, morphologically differentiated from more posterior caudal vertebrae.
