Following these data, the Alps as a whole, and the Eastem Alps in particular, are the result of two independent Alpidic collisional orogens: The Cretaceous orogeny fo rmed the present Austroalpine units sensu lato (including from fo otwall to hangingwall the Austroalpine s. str. unit, the Meliata-Hallstatt units, and the Upper Juvavic units), the Eocene-Oligocene orogeny resulted from continent continent collision and overriding of the stable European continental lithosphere by the Austroalpine continental microplate. Consequently, a fundamental difference in present-day structure of the Eastem and Centrai/Westem Alps resulted. Exhumation of metamorphic crust fo rmed during Cretaceous and Tertiary orogenies resulted from several processes including subvertical extrusion due to lithospheric indentation, tectonic unroofing and erosional denudation. Original paleogeographic relationships were destroyed and veiled by late Cretaceous sinistral shear, and Oligocene-Miocene sinistral wrenching within Austroalpine units, and subsequent eastward lateral escape of units exposed within the centrat axis of the Alps along the Periadriatic fault system due to the indentation ofthe rigid Southalpine indenter. -

This paper concerns thè conclusive researchs on Pliensbachian Phyllo- ceratina from Italy, among which thè genera Geyeroceras Hyatt, 1900 and Partschiceras Fucini, 1923 were already investigated (Fantini Sestini, 1969, 1971). The fossils were collected in stratigraphic sections from Selva di Zandobbio and Alpe Turati in Lombar- dy and from thè M. Nerone area in thè centrai Apennines. They consist of internai moulds and complete shells. The family Juraphyllitidae is present with genera: Jura- phyllites Miiller, Meneghiniceras Hyatt, Harpophylloceras Spath e Galaticeras Spath. Only four genera of Pliensbachian age can be attributed to thè fam. Phylloceratidae; they are as follows: Phylloceras Suess, 1865 with thè two subgenera Phylloceras s.s. e Zetoceras Kovacs, 1939. Test with ornaments visible at low magnification; internai mould smooth, section elliptical, ovai or sublanceolate; E/L and L/U with or without phylloids (minor subdivisions of folioles).

No. 2] Proc. Japan Acad., 56, Ser. B (1980) 69 14. Discovery of Triassic Conodonts from Malajon and Uson Islands of the Calamian Island Group, Palawan Province, the Philippines, and Its Geological Significance By wataru HASHIM0T0,*) Shigeru TAKIZAWA,**) Guillermo R. BALCE, * * * ) Ernesto A. ESPIRITU, * * * and Crisanto A. BAURA* * * > (Communicated by Teiichi KoBAYASxi, M. J. A., Feb. 12, 1980) This short article deals with the discovery of Epigondolella ab- neptis (Huckriede) , a Lower Norian index conodont of Japan, in the limestone at the southeastern coast of Malajon Island, the Calamian Island Group, and its geological significance. The general geology of the Calamian Island Group had not been surveyed since Smith (1924) reported the manganese-bearing chert formation from Busuanga Island and limestone from Coron Island, until 1978, when H. Fontaine reported the geological and palaeon- tological results of his reconnaissance works conducted in this island group (Fontaine, 1978, 1979; Fontaine et al., 1979). The Calamian Island Group is geographically situated between Mindoro and Palawan Islands, where the Mindoro and the Palawan Metamorphics are exposed respectively. Concerning the origin of these schists in the Recent Palawan Arc trending from Palawan to Mindoro, Gervasio (1971) and Hashimoto and Sato (1973) are of different opinions. Gervasio (1971) referred to the schist in the Palawan Arc as the basement of the Philippines and the non-metamorphosed Palaeozoic sediments including limestone in northern Palawan as well as that in the Calamian Island Group and the Permian limestone on Carabao Island as Palaeozoic formation deposited in a miogeosyncline, occur- ring in an east-west direction upon the basement schist terrain. -

[email protected] Received: 26/02/06 / Accepted: 09/10/06 Abstract Sephardiellinae (nov. subfam.) encompasses a Middle Triassic Gondolleloid lineage that originated in the Sephardic realm, west- ernmost shallow Neotethys, from where, in the course of the Ladinian and earliest Carnian, some of its species spread to the world oceans, before extinction as a result of the Carnian salinity crisis. It is composed of two genera, Sephardiella and Pseudofurnishius. Differential criteria in its septimembrate apparatus are the basal cavity structure of P1 element and morphological variations in the P2 and S3 elements. Keywords: Conodonts, Middle Triassic, Sephardiellinae, Sephardic Realm, Neotethys. Resumen La nueva subfamilia Sephardiellinae está comprendida dentro del linaje de Gondolellidae del Triásico Medio y se originó en el Dominio Sefardí, la parte más occidental del Neotetis. Durante el Ladiniense-Carniense Inferior, algunas de sus especies irradian y se distribuyen por todos los océanos. Su extinción está relacionada con la crisis de salinidad que tuvo lugar en el Carniense. La nueva subfamilia está constituida por dos géneros, Sephardiella y Pseudofurnishius las diferencias morfológicas de su aparato sep- timembrado, como son la estructura de la cavidad basal del elemento P1 y las variaciones morfológicas de los elementos P2 y S3, constituyen el criterio utilizado. -

Early Carboniferous myalinid bivalves from the Middle East are reported here for the first time. The pre-Permian basement of the Hakkari Basin consists of a Lower Carboniferous sedimentary sequence including the Köprülü and Belek formations. The Köprülü Formation has yielded rich assemblages of vertebrates and invertebrates. Hitherto myalinid bivalves were unknown from this formation; this paper reports the discovery of small and poorly calcified myaliniform shells from two thin beds in the middle part of the Köprülü Formation of the Şort Dere section in the Zap Valley. The morphological characteristics of the specimens, especially the umbonal region with the numerous rounded wrinkles, suggest that it probably belongs to an undescribed species of Selenimyalina Newell, 1942. Based on this record, the state of the art of warm-water myalinid taxa in the Paleotethyan Realm is shortly discussed with a focus on the pteriomorph bivalve faunas within a global scenario for both paleobiogeography and patterns of Gondwana-Laurussia faunal exchange. The new occurrence is one of the most important pteriomorph bivalve records ever made in Southeast Turkey, helping to assist paleogeographic reconstructions of the Paleotethyan paleocontinents. -

Bundesanstalt, Wien; download unter www.geologie.ac.at Introduction On the occasion of the Second European Conodont Symposium (ECOS II) — organized jointly by the Geological Survey of Austria and the Geological Survey of Czechoslovakia one of the excursion (Excursion D) will take us to Slovakia. Purpose of this excursion is visiting several typical Triassic localities, rich in conodonts, and locali ties where, just with the aid of conodonts, a precise stratigraphic ranging was made possible for the first time. In Slovakia, and in the West Carpathians in general, thus also in the regions of the Polish Tatra and Northern Hungary, we could, by means of conodonts, attain convincing advances during the last ten years. Some of the stratigraphic data obtained on their grounds constituted a break-through in the true sense of the word, a revolution in understanding the geological structure and development of entire re gions. In this first „10-year phase" we concerned ourselves mainly with the Triassic sequences on the whole territory of Slovakia. As a result of this we could ascertain a great number of conodont localities. Particularly valuable are finds in metamorphosed Triassic sequences of which some, until the findings of conodonts, had been considered to be Paleozoic. The Paleozoic proper of the West Carpathians is still terra incognita awaiting its discovery.
