ABSTRACT- Conodont biostratigraphy ofthe late Silurian Paadla to Ohesaare stages ofthe northern East Baltic is described based on the conodont fauna collected over a longperiod from the rock samples ofmany outcrops an d about 20 borehole sections. The co nodo n t distribution from shallow shelf (Kolka borehole) through open shelf (Ohesaare and Ventspils boreholes) to deeper p art (Pavilosta borehole) ofthe Palaeobaltic Basi n is discussed A stratigraphically rather sharp fauna! change took piace on the boundary ofthe Paadla and Kuressaare stages. The studied interval includes the snajdri, crispa and remscheidensis zones. The fast zone is subdivided into four subzones: baccara, eosteinhornensis, canadensis and remscheidensis. The eosteinhornensis Subzone marks the beginning ofthe Pridoli. The detona Zone occupies a short interval in the remscheidensis Subzone. RIASSUNTO - [Biostratigrafia a conodonti del Siluriano superiore nella parte settentrionale del Baltico orientale] - La fauna a conodonti estratta da campioni di molti affioramenti e di circa venti perforazioni consente di tracciare un quadro biostratigrafico del Siluriano superiore della parte settentrionale del Baltico orientale. Viene discussa la distribuzione dei conodonti da ambienti costieri (pozzo Kolka), alla parte più profonda (pozzo Pavilosta) del bacino paleobaltico, passando per tutti gli ambienti intermedi (pozzi Ohesaare e Ventspils). Dal punto di vista stratigrafico, una netta variazione delle faune si riscontra al limite tra i piani Paadla e Kuressaare. L'intervallo studiato comprende le biozone a snajdri, crispa e remscheidensis; quest'ultima viene divisa in quattro sottozone: baccara, eosreinhornensis, canadensis e remscheidensis. La sottozona a eosteinhornensis segna la base del Pridoli; la Biozona a detona è limitata a un breve intervallo nella Sottozona a remschiedensis. INTRODUCTION GEOLOGICAL SETTING Late Silurian conodont faunas, as ali Lower The Upper Silurian deposits of the East Baltic Palaeozoic faunas, are abundant in the northern East formed at the period of the generai regression, during Baltic. A brief review of the distribution and zonation the last infìlling stage of the development of the of Ordovician and Silurian conodonts is found in the Paiaeobaltic Basin (Nestor & Einasto, 1997). The monograph Geology and Minerai resources of Estonia infìlling stage began with a brief transgressive event (Raukas & Teedumae, 1997). The late Silurian during the Kuressaare Stage and is represented by conodont fauna has been studied since the 1970s, but different marlstones and nodular argillaceous the results have been partly published in Russian (Vi ira, biomicritic Iimestones. This late Ludlow transgression 1970, 1982, 1983, 1994; Mannik & Viira, 1993).

As a result, thousands of specimens in hundreds of samples from numerous outcrops and boreholes were got. Barren samples were very rare- only a few small samples from boreholes. The samples from outcrop sections weighed on average 4-5 kg and those from the boreholes 500- 1300 g. The index of colour alteration is about l. For the present study four borehole sections chosen to demonstrate the late Silurian conodont distribution from shallow shelf (Kolka) through open shelf (Ohesaare, Ventspils) to deeper part (Pavilosta) of the Palaeobaltic Basin (Text-fig. 3).

BERGSTRÖM AND ANNALISA FERRETTI Conodonts in Ordovician biostratigraphy The long time interval after Pander’s (1856) original conodont study can in terms of Ordovician conodont biostratigraphic research be subdivided into three periods, namely the Pioneer Period (1856-1955), the Transition Period (1955-1971), and the Modern Period (1971-Recent). During the pre-1920s, the few published conodont investigations were restricted to Europe and North America and were not concerned about the potential use of conodonts as guide fossils. Although primarily of taxonomic nature, the pioneer studies by Branson & Mehl, Stauffer, and Furnish during the 1930s represent the beginning of the use of conodonts in Ordovician biostratigraphy. However, no formal zones were introduced until Lindström (1955) proposed four conodont zones in the Lower Ordovician of Sweden, which marks the end of the Pioneer Period. Because Lindström’s zone classification was not followed by similar work outside Baltoscandia, the time interval up to the late 1960s can be regarded as a Transition Period. A milestone symposium volume, entitled ‘Conodont Biostratigraphy’ and published in 1971, 2 summarized much new information on Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy and is taken as the beginning of the Modern Period of Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy. In this volume, the Baltoscandic Ordovician was subdivided into named conodont zones whereas the North American Ordovician succession was classified into a series of lettered or numbered Faunas. Although most of the latter did not receive zone names until 1984, this classification has been used widely in North America.

DORNING 3 1Department of Geology, The University, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK 2Department of Historical Geology and Palaeontology, SiSlvegatan 13, S-223 62 Lund, Sweden 3pallab Research, 58 Robertson Road, Sheffield $6 5DX, UK Abstract: Biotic cycles in the early Silurian correlate broadly with postulated sea-level changes, but are better explained by a model that involves episodic changes in oceanic state. Primo episodes were characterized by cool high-latitude climates, cold oceanic bottom waters, and high nutrient supply which supported abundant and diverse planktonic communities. Secundo episodes were characterized by warmer high-latitude climates, salinity-dense oceanic bottom waters, low diversity planktonic communities, and carbonate formation in shallow waters. Extinction events occurred between primo and secundo episodes, with stepwise extinctions of taxa reflecting fluctuating conditions during the transition period. The pattern of turnover shown by conodont faunas, together with sedimentological information and data from other fossil groups, permit the identification of two cycles in the Llandovery to earliest Weniock interval. The episodes and events within these cycles are named: the Spirodden Secundo episode, the Jong Primo episode, the Sandvika event, the Malm#ykalven Secundo episode, the Snipklint Primo episode, and the lreviken event. Oceanic and climatic cyclicity is being increasingly semblages (Johnson et al. 1991b, p. 145). Using this recognized in the geological record, and linked to major and approach, they were able to detect four cycles within the minor sedimentological and biotic fluctuations.

Ordovician carbonate platform ecosystem of the Holy Cross Moun­ tains. Palaeontologia Polonica 53, 43-128. The Ordovician organodetrital limestones and marls studied in outcrops at M6jcza and Miedzygorz, Holy Cross Mts, Poland, contains a record of the evolution of local conodont faunas from the latest Arenig (Early Kundan, Lenodus variabilis Zone) to the Ashgill (Amorphognathus ordovicicus Zone), with a single larger hiatus corre­ sponding to the subzones from Eop/acognathus pseudop/anu s to E. reclinatu s. The conodont fauna is Baltic in general appearance but cold water genera , like Sagitto­ dontina, Scabbardella, and Hamarodus, as well as those of Welsh or Chinese af­ finities, like Comp/exodus, Phragmodus, and Rhodesognathu s are dominant in par­ ticular parts of the section while others common in the Baltic region, like Periodon , Eop/acognathus, and Sca/pellodus are extremely rare.

  • UPPER DEVONIAN CONODONTS ASSOCIATED with a LARGE PLACODERM FISH SKULL from the CANNING BASIN, WESTERN... Download
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1987,13 (4): 501-513 Upper Devonian conodonts associated with a large placoderm fish skull from the Canning Basin, Western Australia John A. Long* Abstract Conodonts retrieved from limestone encasing the skull of a large placoderm fish, from an unknown lo'cation in the south-eastern Canning Basin, indicate an age of mid-Famennian (toIIB) because of the concurrent presence of the following taxa: Nothognathella palmatiformis, Nothognathella sp. nov, A. Druce 1976,Palmatolepis glabra pectinata, P. quadrantinodosa inflexa, P. quadrantinodosa inflexoidea, P. marginifera s.s., Polygnathus triphyllatus, P. glaber s.s. and P. germanus s.s. The assemblage represents a palmatolepid-polygnathid biofacies dominated by palmatolepids, and is typical of muddy outer shelf to sandy inner shelf environ­ ments. The occurrence of certain taxa which have only been previously recorded in the Canning Basin from the Virgin Hills Formation, together with the lithology of the specimen, and palaeoecological information afforded by the conodonts, suggests that the specimen was derived from the uppermost section of the Virgin Hills Formation. Introduction A large dinichthyid placoderm fish skull has recently been described as a new genus, Westralichthys Long (1987) even though the exact location and lithological source of the specimen is unknown. A limited conodont fauna of 76 elements was recovered from dilute acetic acid preparation of the dinichthyid skull. The fauna contains a number of age diagnostic species which have been used to narrow the possible age and stratigraphic source of the specimen. It is significant that the conodonts indicate a much younger age for the skull than the well known lower Frasnian Gogo fish fauna (Gardiner and Miles 1975), also from the same region.

Zhuravlev Institute of Geology Komi SC, UrB RAS, Pervomayskaya 54, 167000 Syktyvkar, Russia; [email protected] Received 3 April 2017, accepted 6 June 2017, available online 16 October 2017 Abstract. A new upper Tournaisian (Lower Carboniferous) siphonodellid conodont species Siphonodella carinata n. sp. is described. The material comes from the shallow-water carbonate sediments of the Pechora Swell (Timan-Pechora region or NE of European Russia). The co-occurrence of conodonts Hindeodus cristulus (Youngquist & Miller), Bispathodus stabilis (Branson & Mehl) Morphotype 1, Polygnathus longiposticus Branson & Mehl and Pseudopolygnathus nodomarginatus (Branson) suggests the late Tournaisian (Lower Siphonodella crenulata Zone) age of the deposits. Morphologically the new species is similar to Siphonodella semichatovae Kononova & Lipnjagov and S. ludmilae Zhuravlev & Plotitsyn, but differs in possessing three rostral ridges at the late stages of ontogeny and Class III symmetry. The presence of the shallow-water siphonodellids Siphonodella bella Kononova & Migdisova and S. quasinuda Gagiev, Kononova & Pazuhin in the upper part of the Tournaisian is detected for the first time. Key words: Conodonta, new species, Siphonodella carinata n. sp., Lower Carboniferous, Tournaisian. INTRODUCTION platform and a wide pseudokeel or depressed keel at the aboral side of Pa elements.
