    PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Volume 21 January 15, 1935 Number I ON THE EVOL UTION OF THE SKULLS OF VERTEBRA TES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HERITABLE CHANGES IN PROPORTIONAL DIAMETERS (ANISOMERISM) By WILLIAM KING GREGORY AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, DEPARTmENT OF COMPARATIVE AND HuMAN ANATOMY Read before the Academy, Tuesday, November 20, 1934 PART I. THE SKULLS OF THE MOST PRIMITIVE KNOWN FOSSIL CHORDATES (OSTRACODERMS) In earlier papers I have directed attention to the fact that during the course of evolution of any series of organisms two opposite processes of development and evolution may be observed. In the first process, which has been named polyisomerism,l there is a budding or multiplication of some given part or parts, such as the teeth of sharks or the joints of the backbone in eels. This process has been recognized by earlier authors under such terms as "budding," "reduplication" (Cope), "metamerism" (Gegenbaur), "rectigradation" (Osborn, in part), "aristogenesis" (Osborn, in part). In the opposite but often simultaneous process there is some emphasis or selective action among the polyisomeres, that is, there may be a local acceleration or retardation of growth rates, causing later polyisomeres to grow larger or smaller than earlier ones; or some part or axis of one of the units may become the focus of a new acceleration or retardation; this produces lop-sided polyisomeres or anisomeres and the process itself is called anisomerism. In positive anisomerism we have progressive increase of some particular part or spot; in negative anisomerism the reverse occurs. This process has also been recognized in part by carlier authors under such terms as "differentiation" (Spencer), "allometry" (Osborn, in part), "heterogony" (Pezard, Huxley, in part), "acceleration" and "retardation" (Hyatt, in part).

  • Lower Palaeozoic Evolution of the Northeast German Basin/Baltica Borderland
    Originally published as: McCann, T. (1998): Lower Palaeozoic evolution of the NE German Basin/Baltica borderland. - Geological Magazine, 135, 129-142. DOI: 10.1017/S0016756897007863 Geol. Mag. 135 (1), 1998, pp. 129–142. Printed in the United Kingdom © 1998 Cambridge University Press 129 Lower Palaeozoic evolution of the northeast German Basin/Baltica borderland TOMMY MCCANN GeoForschungsZentrum (Projektbereich 3.3 – Sedimente und Beckenbildung), Telegrafenberg A26, 14473 Potsdam, Germany (Received 15 October 1996; accepted 11 July 1997) Abstract – The Vendian–Silurian succession from a series of boreholes in northeast Germany has been pet- rographically and geochemically investigated. Evidence suggests that the more northerly Vendian and Cambrian succession was deposited on a craton which became increasingly unstable in Ordovician times. Similarly, the Ordovician-age succession deposited in the Rügen area indicates a strongly active continental margin tectonic setting for the same period. By Silurian times the region was once more relatively tectoni- cally quiescent. Although complete closure of the Tornquist Sea was not complete until latest Silurian times, the major changes in tectonic regime in the Eastern Avalonia/Baltica area recorded from the Ordovician sug- gest that a significant degree of closure occurred during this time. The precise location of the southwestern edge of 1. Introduction Baltica (that is, that part of Baltica to the south of the The northeast German Basin is situated between the sta- Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone) is not known.

  • The Leba Ridge–Riga–Pskov Fault Zone – a Major East European Craton Interior Dislocation Zone and Its Role in the Early Palaeozoic Development of the Platform Cover
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2019, 68, 4, 161–189 https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2019.12 The Leba Ridge–Riga–Pskov Fault Zone – a major East European Craton interior dislocation zone and its role in the early Palaeozoic development of the platform cover Igor Tuuling Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences, University of Tartu, Ravila 14A, 50411 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected] Received 31 May 2019, accepted 23 July 2019, available online 24 October 2019 Abstract. Analysis of data published on basement faulting in the Baltic region makes it possible to distinguish the >700 km long East European Craton (EEC) interior fault zone extending from the Leba Ridge in the southern Baltic Sea across the Latvian cities of Liepaja and Riga to Pskov in Russia (LeRPFZ). The complex geometry and pattern of its faults, with different styles and flower structures, suggests that the LeRPFZ includes a significant horizontal component. Exceptionally high fault amplitudes with signs of pulsative activities reveal that the LeRPFZ has been acting as an early Palaeozoic tectonic hinge-line, accommodating bulk of the far-field stresses and dividing thus the NW EEC interior into NW and SW halves. The LeRPFZ has been playing a vital role in the evolution of the Baltic Ordovician–Silurian Basin, as a deep-facies protrusion of this basin (Livonian Tongue) extending into the remote NW EEC interior adheres to this fault zone. The Avalonia–Baltica collision record suggests that transpression with high shear stress, forcing the SE blocks in the LeRPFZ to move obliquely to the NE, reigned in the Ordovician.

  • New Information on the Evolution of the Bradyodont Chondrichthyes the Lf
    UBUVERSt' 3? KJUN01S i H UWNA-CHAMPAICN L30LOGY «H CD FIELDIANA Geology Published by Field Museum of Natural History Volume 33, No. 28 July 29, 1977 This volume is dedicated to Dr. Rainer Zangerl New Information on the Evolution of the Bradyodont Chondrichthyes The Lf Richard Lund 1H7C Department of Biology IYIhK 1 4 1^1 C Adelphi University University oj Illinois INTRODUCTION * UrbanaCham ^» Among the taxa of Chondrichthyans from the upper Mississip- pian Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana (Lund, 1974; Lund and Zangerl, 1974) are holomorphs of four petalodonts, two cochlio- donts, and a chimaeroid. These forms have all been included by vari- ous authors within the Holocephali, or Bradyodonti, usually ranked as a subclass within the Chondrichthyes (Arambourg and Bertin, 1958; Obruchev, 1967). Holomorphs of bradyodont fish are ex- tremely rare (Patterson, 1965) and considerable controversy sur- rounds the inter-relationships of the Bradyodonti and the phyletic position of the group (Patterson, 1968; Bendix-Almgreen, 1968; 1970). This paper attempts to relate some new information to the evolution of the Bradyodont chondrichthyes. CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES: The Chondrichthyes are char- acterized by a cartilaginous endoskeleton which may be superfi- cially calcified; an exoskeleton composed of cyclomorial, synchro- nomorial, or lepidomorial scales which may be lost, modified as cephalic spines, or fused into plates; gill chambers covered by an opercular fold or opening separately to the outside; the absence of an air bladder or lung; otoconia, not compact otoliths in the inner ear which remains open to the outside through endolymphatic ducts. Internal fertilization with copulation is present, males have claspers developed as extensions of the axis of pelvic fins.

  • Palynology of the Kazanian Stratotype Section (Permian, Russia): Palaeoenvironmental and Palaeoclimatic Implications
    Palynology of the Kazanian stratotype section (Permian, Russia): palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic implications Annette E. Götz1,2 and Vladimir V. Silantiev2 1Rhodes University, Department of Geology, P.O. Box 94, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa, Email: [email protected] 2Kazan Federal University, 18 Kremlyovskaya St., Kazan 420008, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation, Email: [email protected] Abstract Palynomorph assemblages reflect changes in land plant communities and are thus significant proxies to interpret palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic changes. The Middle Permian of the East European Platform is crucial to the understanding of marine and non-marine palaeoclimate archives and interregional correlations of marine and non-marine successions, utilizing palaeoclimate signatures documented in the palynological record. New palynological data from the Kazanian stratotype section are presented and interpreted with respect to palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate. This dataset will serve as a basis for ongoing studies on the type area of the Kazanian and the mid-Permian biodiversity patterns, preceding the end-Guadalupian crisis and the changes of the end-Permian biotic diversification followed by the most severe extinction event in Earth’s history at the Permian-Triassic boundary. Keywords Palaeoenvironment, Palaeoclimate, Palynology, Permian, Russia Introduction The East European Platform is a type region for the Permian system. One of the largest Permian sedimentary basins in the world (named after the Perm province of Russia; later in 1841 R. Murchison introduced this name for the geological system Permian) is located in this area.

Spec- ofthe pelvic girdle and areas ofsquamation. Com- imens are referred to Stethacanthus cf. S. alto- parison with other Bear Gulch stethacanthids nensis and S. cf. S. productus. Two other species strongly suggests that the presence of specialized are too immature to assign with certainty to known cranial and first dorsal fin squamation, with the stethacanthid spine species. The histology and presence of the first dorsal fin and spine, are sec- morphology ofthree isolated cladodont tooth types ondary sexual characters ofmature males. Clado- is described, one of which is referred to Cladodus selache is indicated as the sister group of the Ste- robustus. The species of Stethacanthidae are dis- thacanthidae, with the "Symmoriidae" being the tinguishable on the shapes and proportions ofpal- sister group of Stethacanthus altonensis.
