The Haustator bilira Assemblage Zone was proposed by Sohl (1977) and traced through Late Cretaceous rocks of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains from New Jersey to Texas (Owens et. al., 1977; Sohl and Smith, 1980). The base of the zone occurs above the base of the foraminiferid Globotruncana gansseri Subzone of Pessagno (1969) and* includes all subsequent younger Cretaceous deposits on the Coastal Plains. Lists of the molluscan fauna from this zone from the East Gulf Coastal Plain are available as U.S.

The upper part of the Aptian Tanohata Formation and the lower part of the Aptian to Albian Hiraiga Formation are composed mainly of wave- and storm-dominated shoreface and inner-shelf fossiliferous depos- its.

  • Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian Limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben
    Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben... Geologos 18, 2 (2012): 83–109 doi: 10.2478/v10118-012-0007-z Palaeontology of the Middle Turonian limestones of the Nysa Kłodzka Graben (Sudetes, SW Poland): biostratigraphical and palaeogeographical implications Alina Chrząstek Institute of the Geological Sciences, Wrocław University, Maksa Borna 9, PL 50-204 Wrocław, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The ammonites Lewesiceras peramplum Mantell and ?Lewesiceras sp. are reported from the Upper Cretaceous in the Nysa Kłodzka Graben; they date from the Middle Turonian and ?Coniacian, respectively. The Middle Turonian lime- stones of the Stara Bystrzyca quarry contain an abundant assemblage of inoceramids (Inoceramus cuvieri Sowerby and I. lamarcki Parkinson) and other bivalves, including oysters, as well as brachiopods and trace fossils. Micropalaeonto- logical data show the presence of foraminifers and siliceous sponge spiculae, bryozoans, ostracods and fragments of bivalves and gastropods. The Middle Turonian calcareous deposits belongs to the upper part of the Inoceramus lamarcki Zone (late Middle Turonian) and were deposited on a shallow, subtidal offshore shelf. They overlie the Middle Turo- nian Bystrzyca and Długopole Sandstones, which represent foreshore-shoreface delta deposits. The fossil assemblage suggests a moderate- to low-energy, normal-salinity environment with occasionally an oxygen deficit.

ABSTRACT A rich paleontological assemblage was collected in the Cenomanian deposits of the Djebel Metrassi (Batna, NE Algeria). It consists of 327 specimens assigned respectively to a single coral, 24 bivalve, 14 gastropod, 3 ammonite, and 7 echinoid species. This macrofaunal association leads us to establish an original taxonomical reference list along with several species new for the Cenomanian of this area, and supports the lithostratigraphic framework herein proposed.

  • General Trends in Predation and Parasitism Upon Inoceramids

General trends in predation and parasitism upon inoceramids. Acta Geologica Polonica, 48 (4), 377-386. Warszawa. Inoceramid bivalves have a prolific evolutionary history spanning much of the Mesozoic, but they dra­ matically declined 1.5 Myr prior to the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. Only the enigmatic genus Tenu­ ipteria survived until the terminal Cretaceous event. A variety of hypotheses have attempted to expla­ in this disappearance. This study investigates the role that predation and parasitism may have played in the inoceramids' demise. Inoceramids show a range of predatory and parasitic features recorded in their shells ranging from extremely rare bore holes to the parasite-induced Hohlkehle. The stratigraphic record of these features suggests that they were virtually absent in inoceramids prior to the Late Turonian and became increasingly abundant through the remainder of the Cretaceous. These results suggest that predation and parasitism may have played a role in the inoceramid extinction, but more rigorous, quantitative data are required to test this hypothesis further. Probably the C011lmonest death for many animals is to be ous-Tertiary boundary (KAUFFMAN 1988). The mar­ eaten by something else. ked demise of such an important group has led to the C. S. Elton (1927) formulation of a wide range of hypotheses to explain this phenomenon.
