A Review of Jurassic Dinoflagellate Cyst Biostratigraphy and Global Provincialism THE LITERATURE ON TRIASSIC, JURASSIC AND EARLIEST CRETACEOUS DINOFLAGELLATE CYSTS (version #1 - May 2019) James B. Riding British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] The scientific literature on Trassic to earliest Cretaceous dinoflagellate cysts was first compiled by Riding (2012). Four supplements to this major compendium have subsequently been issued (Riding 2013, 2014, 2019a, 2019b). In each of these five publications, the relevant contributions on this topic, together with appropriate and descriptive keywords, were listed. A total of 1889 items were listed in order to provide interested parties with a complete inventory of the literature on this topic. Unfortunately 11 publications were mentioned twice, hence the remaining 1878 contributions are all itemised below in alphabetical/chronological order. The 391 contributions which are considered to be of major significance are asterisked. Should future supplements on this subject be published, the relevant articles in these will be added to this listing. This reference list has been edited specifically for this webpage, but there are some minor variations, for example digital object identifier (doi) numbers were only included in the latest four compilations (Riding 2014, 2018, 2019a, 2019b), and not in Riding (2012, 2013).

  • Molecular Data and the Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Un
    Molecular data and the evolutionary history of dinoflagellates by Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria Diplom, Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, 1993 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Department of Botany We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2003 © Juan Fernando Saldarriaga Echavarria, 2003 ABSTRACT New sequences of ribosomal and protein genes were combined with available morphological and paleontological data to produce a phylogenetic framework for dinoflagellates. The evolutionary history of some of the major morphological features of the group was then investigated in the light of that framework. Phylogenetic trees of dinoflagellates based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) are generally poorly resolved but include many well- supported clades, and while combined analyses of SSU and LSU (large subunit ribosomal RNA) improve the support for several nodes, they are still generally unsatisfactory. Protein-gene based trees lack the degree of species representation necessary for meaningful in-group phylogenetic analyses, but do provide important insights to the phylogenetic position of dinoflagellates as a whole and on the identity of their close relatives. Molecular data agree with paleontology in suggesting an early evolutionary radiation of the group, but whereas paleontological data include only taxa with fossilizable cysts, the new data examined here establish that this radiation event included all dinokaryotic lineages, including athecate forms. Plastids were lost and replaced many times in dinoflagellates, a situation entirely unique for this group. Histones could well have been lost earlier in the lineage than previously assumed.

  • New and Poorly Known Perisphinctoidea (Ammonitina) from the Upper Tithonian of Le Chouet (Drôme, SE France)
    Volumina Jurassica, 2014, Xii (1): 113–128 New and poorly known Perisphinctoidea (Ammonitina) from the Upper Tithonian of Le Chouet (Drôme, SE France) Luc G. BULOT1, Camille FRAU2, William A.P. WIMBLEDON3 Key words: Ammonoidea, Ataxioceratidae, Himalayitidae, Neocomitidae, Upper Tithonian, Le Chouet, South-East France. Abstract. The aim of this paper is to document the ammonite fauna of the upper part of the Late Tithonian collected at the key section of Le Chouet (Drôme, SE France). Emphasis is laid on new and poorly known Ataxioceratidae, Himalayitidae and Neocomitidae from the upper part of the Tithonian. Among the Ataxioceratidae, a new account on the taxonomy and relationship between Paraulacosphinctes Schindewolf and Moravisphinctes Tavera is presented. Regarding the Himalayitidae, the range and content of Micracanthoceras Spath is discussed and two new genera are introduced: Ardesciella gen. nov., for a group of Mediterranean ammonites that is homoeomorphic with the Andean genus Corongoceras Spath, and Pratumidiscus gen. nov. for a specimen that shows morphological similarities with the Boreal genera Riasanites Spath and Riasanella Mitta. Finally, the occurrence of Neocomitidae in the uppermost Tithonian is documented by the presence of the reputedly Berriasian genera Busnardoiceras Tavera and Pseudargentiniceras Spath.

China Received 24 January 2007; accepted in revised form 14 May 2007 Available online 28 November 2007 Abstract Lithostratigraphic studies of the Upper JurassiceLower Cretaceous sedimentary successions exposed in the TingrieGyangze area, south- eastern Tibet resulted in the establishment of a revised stratigraphic framework. A major crustal fault separates the southern Tibetan sedimentary successions into a Southern Zone and a Northern Zone. The Upper JurassiceLower Cretaceous strata of the Southern Zone are subdivided into the Menkadun Formation (Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian, up to lower Upper Tithonian), the Gucuo Formation (Upper Tithonian to Lower Albian) and the overlying Dongshan Formation (Upper Albian). The Gucuo Formation is further subdivided into a quartz arenite unit, which is overlain by a shale unit, in turn overlain by a volcaniclastic sandstone unit. The youngest cluster of detrital zircon absolute age data (127.7 Æ 1.8 Ma) from the lower part of the volcaniclastic unit of the Gucuo Formation place the volcanic event before the Late Barremian. In the Northern Zone, the Upper JurassiceLower Cretaceous strata have been subdivided into four formations: the Zhera Formation (Upper Jurassic), the Weimei Formation (Tithonian), the Rilang Formation (?Berriasian) and the Gyabula Formation (? post-Valanginian).

  • Chapter 2 Physical Characteristics of the Study Area
    CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY AREA 2.1. Location of study area The study area incorporates part of north Hertfordshire, south and mid- Bedfordshire as well as the southwest corner of Cambridgeshire and lies approximately 40 km north of London (Figure 1.1). Coverage of the area by British Geological Survey (BGS) 1:50,000 map sheets is shown in Figure 2.1. 2.2. Bedrock geology The strikes of the solid geological formations are approximately northeast- southwest across the study area (Figure 2.2). The solid geological succession is shown in Table 2.1. To the northwest of the Chiltern Hills the Gault Clay forms a rich agricultural landscape, representing a continuation of the Vale of Aylesbury. Beyond this, running approximately from Bow Brickhill (SP915343) to Gamlingay (TL234525) is a discontinuous ridge formed by the Woburn Sands Formation, part of the Lower Greensand. This prominent ‘Greensand Ridge’, rising to 170 m O.D. at Bow Brickhill, separates the Cretaceous clays from the Jurassic Oxford and Ampthill Clays to the northwest. The oldest formation is recorded in a borehole (TL23NE1) at Ashwell (TL286390), where Devonian strata were reached at a depth of 186.54 m, i.e. 93 m below O.D. (Smith, 1992). Lying just beyond the northern boundary of the present study area, north of the River Ouse, a borehole (TL15NE2) at Wyboston (TL175572) penetrated Ordovician rocks of Tremadoc age at a depth of approximately 230 m (Moorlock et al ., 2003). The Oxford Clay of the Upper Jurassic represents the oldest formation outcropping within the study area.
