In one of these samples (probably from unit 4, see Fig. 2), I found two specimens of Chapmanina gassinensis Silvestri, 1931 (MNHN.F.F62410; Figs 1, 2). This foraminifer is easy THE GENUS CHAPMANINA AND ITS SPECIES to identify and can’t be confused with any other one. It is well known in the Eocene of France (Aquitaine Basin) and also According Loeblich & Tappan systematics (1987), the genus observed in the Eocene of various Tethysian European countries Chapmanina belongs to the family Chapmaninidae Thal- and of the Tethysian domain l.s. It is only pointed out in the mann, 1938, superfamily Rotaliacea Ehrenberg, 1839 and Oligocene in France and a few European countries. Until now, its type species is Chapmanina gassinensis, because pointed Ch. gassinensis had never been mentionned in the Paris Basin. out at Gassino, in Torino area (Silvestri 1905a).

Th e Upper Cretaceous sequence in the region starts with a major marine transgression and lies unconformably on a basement of Palaeozoic and Triassic rocks in the north (İstanbul-type basement) and on metamorphic rocks and Jurassic sedimentary rocks in the south (Sakarya-type basement). Four megasequences have been diff erentiated in the Late Cretaceous–Eocene interval. Th e fi rst one, of Turonian to Late Campanian age, is represented by volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks in the north along the Black Sea coast, and by siliciclastic turbidites and intercalated calcarenites in the south, corresponding to magmatic arc basin and fore-arc basin, respectively.

  • Pickford 2018 Namahyrax Corvus from Black Crow, Sperrgebiet
    Additional material of Namahyrax corvus from the Ypresian/Lutetian of Black Crow, Namibia Martin PICKFORD Sorbonne Universités (CR2P, MNHN, CNRS, UPMC - Paris VI) 8, rue Buffon, 75005, Paris, France ([email protected]) Abstract : Three teeth of a small hyracoid were found during the 2017 campaign of acid digestion of blocks of limestone from Black Crow, Namibia. The specimens, a left D1/, half an upper premolar and a right p/1 can be attributed with confidence to Namahyrax corvus , up to now the only hyracoid known from the site. The D1/ is more complete than the broken P1/ in the holotype and yields additional information about the crown morphology of the anterior cheek teeth. The p/1 was not previously known for the species. The three teeth underscore the primitive brachyodont morphology of the teeth. The teeth are somewhat more primitive than the corresponding teeth in Dimaitherium patnaiki from the Fayum, Egypt. Direct comparisons cannot be made with Seggeurius amourensis and Bunohyrax matsumotoi because these tooth positions are unknown in these species, but the shape of the p/1 of Namahyrax corresponds with what would be expected from the p/2 morphology in them. Comparisons with Microhyrax lavocati are difficult to make because not even the p/2 is known in that species, but the simplicity of its p/3 (lack of crescentic cusps) suggests a ground plan for the p/1 that could correspond to that observed in the Black Crow specimen. The new specimens of Namahyrax resolve the uncertainty concerning its familial status, indicating that it belongs to the family Geniohyidae.

  • Thresholds of Temperature Change for Mass Extinctions ✉ Haijun Song 1 , David B
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25019-2 OPEN Thresholds of temperature change for mass extinctions ✉ Haijun Song 1 , David B. Kemp1, Li Tian 1, Daoliang Chu 1, Huyue Song1 & Xu Dai1 Climate change is a critical factor affecting biodiversity. However, the quantitative relation- ship between temperature change and extinction is unclear. Here, we analyze magnitudes and rates of temperature change and extinction rates of marine fossils through the past 450 1234567890():,; million years (Myr). The results show that both the rate and magnitude of temperature change are significantly positively correlated with the extinction rate of marine animals. Major mass extinctions in the Phanerozoic can be linked to thresholds in climate change (warming or cooling) that equate to magnitudes >5.2 °C and rates >10 °C/Myr. The sig- nificant relationship between temperature change and extinction still exists when we exclude the five largest mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. Our findings predict that a temperature increase of 5.2 °C above the pre-industrial level at present rates of increase would likely result in mass extinction comparable to that of the major Phanerozoic events, even without other, non-climatic anthropogenic impacts. 1 State Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, China. ✉ email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2021) 12:4694 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25019-2 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25019-2 ive large-magnitude mass extinctions (the “Big Five”) have rate (n = 45, ρ = 0.59, P < 0.001 for ΔT, n = 45, ρ = 0.54, P < Foccurred during the past 450 million years (Myr)1, where 0.001 for R) (Supplementary Table 1), thus providing parallel the estimated extinction of marine animals for each event supporting evidence that the magnitude and rate of climate was over 75% at the species level2.

  • The Upper Bartonian to Chattian Inntal Group (Nov.Nom.) in the Northern Calcareous Alps (Austria, Germany)

The upper Bartonian to Chattian Inntal Group (nov.nom.) in the Northern Calcareous Alps (Austria, Germany) Hans Egger (1), Antonino Briguglio (), and Fred Rögl () (1) Austrian Geological Survey, Paleontology, Vienna, Austria ([email protected]), (2) Universiti Brunei Darussalam Jalan Tungku Link, Brunei Darussalam, (3) Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Burgring 7, 1010 Vienna Fugger (1907) was the first to describe Eocene limestone containing corals and oysters at the abandoned Kirchholz quarry near Bad Reichenhall (SE Germany). With a transgressional conglomerate the limestone succession rests on Upper Cretaceous Nierental Formation. Utilizing planktonic foraminifera from a single marlstone layer, Hillebrandt (1962) assigned the base of the transgressional sequence to the lower to middle Lutetian. For our study, we processed one sample of the marlstone for planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton. Both assem- blages consist essentially of reworked Cretaceous and Paleogene specimens. Acarinina cuneicamerata and Igorina wartsteinensis indicate the upper Ypresian planktonic foraminifera Zone E7a in the classification scheme of Wade et al. (2010). Beside substantial admixtures of Ypresian material (e.g. common Discoaster lodoensis), calcareous nannoplankton assemblages contain species (e.g. Discoaster saipanensis, D. tanii, Nannotetrina cristata), which have their first occurrences in the Lutetian Zone NP15 in the zonation of Martini (1971). However, thin sections of the limestone display larger benthic foraminifera species not only from the Ypresian and Lutetian but also from the upper Bartonian to lower Priabonian Shallow Benthic Zones SBZ18 to SBZ 19 (e.g. Discocyclina pratti pratti, Asterocyclina stellata stellata, Orbitoclypeus varians varians).

  • Biostratigraphic Analysis of Paleogene Lowstand Wedge Conglomerates of a Tectonically Active Platform Margin (Zakynthos Island, Greece)

Moro, 5 - 00185 Roma, Italy ABSTRACT - Paleogene heterometric and polymictic conglomerate deposits were investigated in Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands, Greece) from different outcrops, along the eastern flank of the anticline crossing the island in a NNW-SSE direction. This structure is formed by the Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary succession of the Pre-Apulian zone. The Paleogene facies sequence of Zakynthos consists of toe of slope accumulations of mainly resedimented material produced by gravity flows during repeated falls of relative sea-level below the shelf edge, with subsequent erosion of the exposed Cretaceous- Paleogene sequences. The lithoclasts are scattered within different sedimentary wedges of coarse detrital material; their study provided information on the stratigraphy and depositional environments of the eroded Cretaceous-Paleogene succession. The fossil assemblage content of the conglomerate clasts is interpreted in the frame of a carbonate ramp model. The lack, elsewhere in the island, of in situ sequences corresponding in age and facies to the sampled lithoclasts and the occurrence of different sedimentary facies sequences suggest a differential tectono-sedimentary evolution of the depositional substratum during the Late Cretaceous and the Paleogene.

  • Paleocene-Eocene Volcanic Segmentation of the Norwegian-Greenland Seaway Reorganized High-Latitude Ocean Circulation ✉ Jussi Hovikoski 1 , Michael B
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00249-w OPEN Paleocene-Eocene volcanic segmentation of the Norwegian-Greenland seaway reorganized high-latitude ocean circulation ✉ Jussi Hovikoski 1 , Michael B. W. Fyhn1, Henrik Nøhr-Hansen1, John R. Hopper1, Steven Andrews 2, Milo Barham 3, Lars H. Nielsen1, Morten Bjerager1, Jørgen Bojesen-Koefoed 1, Stefanie Lode1, Emma Sheldon1, Alfred Uchman 4, Pia R. Skorstengaard5 & Peter Alsen 1 The paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic development of the Norwegian–Greenland seaway remains poorly understood, despite its importance for the oceanographic and climatic 1234567890():,; conditions of the Paleocene–Eocene greenhouse world. Here we present analyses of the sedimentological and paleontological characteristics of Paleocene–Eocene deposits (between 63 and 47 million years old) in northeast Greenland, and investigate key unconformities and volcanic facies observed through seismic reflection imaging in offshore basins. We identify Paleocene–Eocene uplift that culminated in widespread regression, volcanism, and subaerial exposure during the Ypresian. We reconstruct the paleogeography of the northeast Atlantic–Arctic region and propose that this uplift led to fragmentation of the Norwegian–Greenland seaway during this period. We suggest that the seaway became severely restricted between about 56 and 53 million years ago, effectively isolating the Arctic from the Atlantic ocean during the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum and the early Eocene. 1 Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), Copenhagen, Denmark. 2 University of the Highlands and Islands, Inverness, UK. 3 Timescales of Mineral Systems Group, School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, WA 6845, Australia. 4 Faculty of Geography and Geology, Institute of Geological Sciences, Jagiellonian University, Krakow 3a 30-387, Poland.
