48. the Arcto-Pacific Realm and the Trigoniidae in the Triassic Period No. 7] Proc. Japan Acad., 59, Ser. B (1983) 207 48. The Arcto-Pacific Realm and the Trigoniidae in the Triassic Period By Teiichi KOBAYASHI, M. J. A., and Minoru TAMURA (Communicated Sept. 12, 1983) The great development of the Trigoniidae is one of prime sig- nificances in the Arcto-Pacific realm in the Triassic period, because only three Triassic species of T'rigonia have been described from Europe, namely, Trigonia geytani Klipstein, 1848 from the St. Cas- sian, Trigonia (?) azzarolae Stoppani, 1861 from the Rhaetic of the Alps and T. zlambachiensis Haas, 1909 from the Ladino-Carnian of east Alps. As shown below, the family is now represented by 11 genera and a subgenus in four subfamilies besides Caledogonia Freneix and Avias, 1977 from the Carno-Norian, New Caledonia whose suprageneric reference is undetermined. a.

The Trigoniidae suddenly appeared with Trigonia tabacoensis Barthel, 1958 from the Anisian of Chile. Morphologically it is pre- sumable that the Trigoniinae were derived from the common ancestor with Gruenewaldia of the Myophoriidae. Next oldest is the Prae- goniinae which consists of two Ladinian genera in New Zealand, resembling Neoschizodus or N. (Laeviconcha) closely. The Upper Triassic Prosogyrotrigoniinae branched off in Southeast Asia proba- bly from the Praegoniinae. It is highly probable that the Minetrigoniinae were derived from Costatoria (Kobayashi and Tamura, 1967). This is the largest subfamily of the Triassic Trigoniidae and Minetrigonia the largest 208 T. KOBAYASHI and M. TAMURA [Vol. 59(B), genus of the subfamily. It is represented by 2 species and 1 sub- species in Japan and 3 or more species in eastern Siberia in addition to some 15 species allied to Minetrigonia in China (Yunnan), New Zealand, Peru, Ellesmereland and Bear Island, as listed below. The authors have already commented on these minetrigonioids and in- stituted Perugonia on Myophoria jaworskii Steinmann, 1929 from the Carnian or Norian of Peru. Nine species and a subspecies of minetrigonioids in British Columbia suggest that western Canada will be proved to be a center of distribution for Minetrigonia by studies on their hinges. It is certain that the family Trigoniidae was evolved from the Myophoriidae polyphyletically and its wide divergence has taken place already in the middle and late Triassic age (Kobayashi and Tamura, 1968).

In Japan about 175 species in some 50 genera are known of the Triassic Bivalvia, the major part of which is Upper Triassic. Palaeo- cucullaea, Trigonucula*, Asoella, Tosapecten, Cardinioides, Mine- phorus*, Minetrigonia, Kumatrigonia and Sakawanella* are nine Triassic genera founded on Japanese species three of which marked with asterisks are indigenous to Japan. Recently Kumatrigonia was found in the Carnian of Qinghai and the Tibetan side of Himalaya. Waagenoperna Tokuyama, 1959, i.e. Edentula Waagen, 1907, non Nittzsch, 1820 is distributed in Japan and central Europe in the range from Middle Permian to Upper Triassic. Its 2 species are known from the Ladino-Carnian in Japan and another 2 from the Carnian in Hunan, China. Asoella occurs in Japan in the Carnian-Norian rocks. In China it appeared already in the Middle Triassic age. Cardinioides in the range from Carnian to Liassic in Japan on the other hand survived probably until later Jurassic in Thailand. Minetrigonia (?) sp. from Pahang No. 7] Arcto-Pacific Realm and Triassic Trigoniidae 209 combined with Asoella listed from the Upper Triassic of Sarawak, West Borneo suggest any relationship of the Triassic fauna of West and East Malaysia with the Japanese fauna. Megalodontids occur in the Carnian of Primoria and the Rhaetian of Japan showing the terminus of the Tethyan fauna in Eurasia. Curionia, Pseudo- myoconcha and Myophoriopsis are other Eurasiatic genera reaching southern Primoria, USSR. The Upper Triassic bivalves of Japan are so closely related to those of eastern Siberia, particularly Primoria that some species of Oxytoma, Otapiria, Tosapecten and Mytilus (Falcimytilus) occur in both areas. Oxytoma Meek (Upper Trias.-Upper Cretaceous) and Cardinia Agassiz (Up. Trias.-Liassic) are 2 genera flourished in Japan and eastern Siberia in the upper Triassic age. Palaeophorus Kittl is an Upper Triassic genus extensively distributed in Bear Island, Ellesmere Island, eastern Siberia and Japan. These Japanese bivalves are related to the east Siberian ones no less than the Tethyan ones. Bureiomya Boronetz, 1937 and Ocho- tom ya Polutko, 1966 were proposed as 2 new genera in Northeastern Siberia, USSR in the Pholadomyidae and Ceromyidae respectively, but the former was synonymized with Pholadomya Rollier in Coss- mann, 1912.

The Triassic bivalves of New Zealand, New Caledonia and New Guinea constitute a distinct fauna by the above genera. The faunal connection between the north and south sides of the Western Pacific can, however, be recognized with some genera. Marwick instituted Otapiria primarily on Pseudomonotis marshalli Trechmann from the Lias of New Zealand, but it is known now to be wide spread in the western Pacific areas, namely in Primoria or further in eastern Siberia and Japan, as P'leuromysidia Ichikawa, 1954 is synonymized with Otapiria (Hayami, 1975). Triaphorus Marwick, 1913 founded on Pleurophorus zealandicus Trechmann from the Upper Triassic of New Zealand is another genus occurring in Primoria. Palaeo- cucullaea Tokuyama, 1960 which is acceptable as a subgenus of Parallelodon in a range from Carnian possibly to Liassic, is dis- 210 T. KoBAYASHIand M. TAMURA [Vol. 59 (B), tributed from Japan to eastern Siberia in the north and probably to New Zealand in the south. Incidentally, Maoritrigonia( ?) bittneri (Newton) in the Carnian Mount Faber fauna and the lower Norian Jurong fauna both in Singapore suggests the Maorian affinity. Schizocardita Korner, 1937 and Pascoella Cox, 1949 together with Perugonia reveal endemism of the Andine fauna. Burckhardtia Frech, 1907 from the Upper Tri- assic of Mexico is an eastern Pacific genus. Rhynchopterus Gabb, 1964 and Myophorigonia Cox, 1952 are two Arcto-eastern Pacific genera. Finally, Monotis Bronn, 1830 is an Upper Triassic cosmopolitan genus. It has long been divided into Monotis s. str. and M. (Ento- monotis) Marwick, 1935. Lately Grant-Mackie (1978) added three more subgenera, i.e.. Eomonotis, Maorimonotis and Inflatomonotis, the last two being endemic to New Zealand and New Caledonia and represented by 2 and 1 species respectively. Prior to this Wester- mann (1973) classified Monotis species into five groups, namely the salinaria, typica, ochotica, subcircularis and zabaikalica groups and figured out their distribution explicitly. Recently Monotis subcircu- laris Gabb was found at Kuap, Sarawak, East Malaysia (Tamura and Hon, 1977). In adding this discovery to Westermann's distri- bution map, Borneo is the junction of the three Monotis seas, pre- cisely the salinaria group is distributed from Europe-Himalaya to Borneo, the ochotica group from Siberia to Borneo through Japan and the subcircularis group from Canada to New Zealand and Borneo through the east Pacific coast. Alaska may be another junction of the three groups in the Arcto-boreal areas. The zabaikalaca group is a western Pacific one; the typica group an Arcto-Pacific one, but unknown from the Andes.

  • (Bivalvia) in the Transition Between the Vaca Muerta and Mulichinco Formations, Early Valanginian, Neuquén Basin, Argentina
    AMEGHINIANA - 2012 - Tomo 49 (1): 96 – 117 ISSN 0002-7014 THE GENUS STEINMANELLA CRICKMAY (BIVALVIA) IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE VACA MUERTA AND MULICHINCO FORMATIONS, EARLY VALANGINIAN, NEUQUÉN BASIN, ARGENTINA LETICIA LUCI and DARÍO GUSTAVO LAZO Instituto de Estudios Andinos “Don Pablo Groeber”, Departamento de Ciencias Geológicas, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Ciudad Universitaria, Pabellón II, C1428EGA Buenos Aires, Argentina – Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET). [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. The genus Steinmanella Crickmay is recorded in several Lower Cretaceous marine units of the Neuquén Basin. It is particularly abundant at the transition between the Vaca Muerta and Mulichinco formations. This paper presents a taxonomic revision of this fauna, discusses the stratigraphic range of each species, and describes and interprets the associated lithofacies based on detailed field sections, newly collected specimens and revision of previous fossil collections. Four sections were measured in northern Neuquén comprising the upper beds of the Vaca Muerta Formation and the lower ones of the Mulichinco Formation. The Steinmanella fauna was dated accurately on the basis of a precise ammonoid zonation. The species were found in the Neocomites wichmanni and Lissonia riveroi zones of early Valanginian age. Specimens were collected in situ from dark grey shales, alternating siltstones, wackestones and mudstones, and rudstones. Three species were identified: Steinmanella curacoensis (Weaver), S. quintucoensis (Weaver), and S. subquadrata sp. nov. Steinmanella curacoensis has an oval outline, poor demarcation of carinae, flank and corselet ribs partially intercalated at the median part of the valve, and oval escutcheon.

  • Palaeoecology and Depositional Environments of the Tendaguru Beds (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, Tanzania)
    Mitt. Mus. Nat.kd. Berl., Geowiss. Reihe 5 (2002) 19-44 10.11.2002 Palaeoecology and depositional environments of the Tendaguru Beds (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, Tanzania) Martin Aberhan ', Robert Bussert2, Wolf-Dieter Heinrich', Eckhart Schrank2, Stephan Schultkal, Benjamin Sames3, Jiirgen =wet4 & Saidi Kapilima5 With 6 figures, 2 tables, and 2 plates Abstract The Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous Tendaguru Beds (Tanzania, East Africa) have been well known for nearly a century for their diverse dinosaur assemblages. Here, we present sedimentological and palaeontological data collected by the German- Tanzanian Tendaguru Expedition 2000 in an attempt to reconstruct the palaeo-ecosystems of the Tendaguru Beds at their type locality. Our reconstructions are based on sedimentological data and on a palaeoecological analysis of macroinverte- brates, microvertebrates, plant fossils and microfossils (ostracods, foraminifera, charophytes, palynomorphs). In addition, we included data from previous expeditions, particularly those on the dinosaur assemblages. The environmental model of the Tendaguru Beds presented herein comprises three broad palaeoenvironmental units in a marginal marine setting: (1) Lagoon-like, shallow marine environments above fair weather wave base and with evidence of tides and storms. These formed behind barriers such as ooid bar and siliciclastic sand bar complexes and were generally subject to minor salinity fluctuations. (2) Extended tidal flats and low-relief coastal plains. These include low-energy, brackish coastal lakes and ponds as well as pools and small fluvial channels of coastal plains in which the large dinosaurs were buried. Since these environments apparently were, at best, poorly vegetated, the main feeding grounds of giant sauropods must have been elsewhere.

  • Neotrigonia Margaritacea Lamarck (Mollusca): Comparison with Other Bivalves, Especially Trigonioida and Unionoida
    HELGOL.~NDER MEERESUNTERSUCHUNGEN Helgol~nder Meeresunters. 50, 259-264 (1996) Spermatozoan ultrastructure in the trigonioid bivalve Neotrigonia margaritacea Lamarck (Mollusca): comparison with other bivalves, especially Trigonioida and Unionoida J. M. Healy Department of Zoology, University of Queensland; St. Lucia 4072, Brisbane, Queensland Australia ABSTRACT: Spermatozoa of the trigonioid bivalve Neotrigonia margaritacea (Lamarck) (Trigoniidae, Trigonioida) are examined ultrastructurally. A cluster of discoidal, proacrosomal vesicles (between 9 to 15 in number) constitutes the acrosomal complex at the nuclear apex. The nucleus is short {2.4-2.6 ~m long, maximum diameter 2.2 ~tm), blunt-conical in shape, and exhibits irregular lacunae within its contents. Five or sometimes four round mitochondria are impressed into shallow depressions in the base of the nucleus as is a discrete centriolar fossa. The mitochondria surround two orthogonally arranged centrioles to form, collectively, the midpiece region. The distal centriole, anchored by nine satellite fibres to the plasma membrane, acts as a basal body to the sperm flagellum. The presence of numerous proacrosomal vesicles instead of a single, conical acrosomal vesicle sets Neotrigonia (and the Trigonioida) apart from other bivalves, with the exception of the Unionoida which are also known to exhibit this multivesicular condition. Sper- matozoa of N. margaritacea are very similar to those of the related species Neotrigonia bednalli (Verco) with the exception that the proacrosomal vesicles of N. margalqtacea are noticeably larger than those of N. bednalli. INTRODUCTION The Trigonioida constitute an important and ancient order of marine bivalves which are perhaps best known from the numerous species and genera occurring in Jurassic and Cretaceous horizons (Cox, 1952; Fleming, 1964; Newell & Boyd, 1975; Stanley, 1977, 1984).

Based on data of the German-Tanzanian Tenda- guru Expedition 2000 and previous studies, and in accordance with the international stratigraphic guide, we raise the Tendaguru Beds to formational rank and recognise six members (from bottom to top): Lower Dinosaur Member, Nerinella Member, Middle Dinosaur Member, Indotrigonia africana Member, Upper Dinosaur Member, and Ruti- trigonia bornhardti-schwarzi Member. We characterise and discuss each member in de- tail in terms of derivation of name, definition of a type section, distribution, thickness, lithofacies, boundaries, palaeontology, and age. The age of the whole formation appar- ently ranges at least from the middle Oxfordian to the Valanginian through Hauterivian or possibly Aptian. The Tendaguru Formation constitutes a cyclic sedimentary succes- sion, consisting of three marginal marine, sandstone-dominated depositional units and three predominantly coastal to tidal plain, fine-grained depositional units with dinosaur remains.

  • ADDITIONAL STUDIES on the JURASSIC TRIGONIIDAE of POLAND the Studies on Polish Trigoniids Carried out by the Present Author Firs
    ACT A PAL A EON T 0 LOG ICA POLONICA ---- Vol. 22 1977 Nr.3 HALINA PUGACZEWSKA " ADDITIONAL STUDIES ON THE JURASSIC TRIGONIIDAE OF POLAND Abstract. - Eleven trigoniid species of the genera Trigonia Bruguiere, MyophoreHa Bayle and Rutitrigonia van Hoepen, including one new species, R. skorkovensis. sp.n., are described from the Jur~ssic of Poland. The representatives of the genus Ruti­ trigonia are reported for the first time fro'm the Lower Kimmeridgian of Poland which markedly increases the stratigraphic and geographic range of that genus hit­ herto considered as limited to the Upper Kimmeridgian - Upper Cretaceous of the Phillippines, Japan and the souther.n hemisphere. INTRODUCTION The studies on Polish trigoniids carried out by the present author first covered the material from the Dogger of L~czyca, Polish Lowlands (Pugaczewska 1976). The present paper presents the results of studies on trigoniids from the Bajocian - Upper Callovian of southern Poland, Bat­ honian - Kimmeridgian of the Mesozoic margins of the Holy Cross Mts, Upper Oxfordian - Lower Kimmeridgian of western Pomerania and Cal­ lovian of glacial drift from :Luk6w in the Polish Lowlands (fig. 1). The difference between the assemblages here studied and that from the Dog­ ger of L~czyca concerns the lack of the genus Vaugonia Crickmay in the former. The genus Rutitrigonia van Hoepen, represented here by R. scor­ covensis sp.n. was hitherto known from the Upper Kimmeridgian and Cretaceous of Africa, Philippines and. Japan; its record from the Lower Kimmeridgian of the Holy Cross Mts indicates that its stratigraphic and geographic ranges are wider than it was previously assumed.

    N. Jb. Geol. Paläont. Abh. 301/2 (2021), 119–134 Article Stuttgart, August 2021 On the Buchotrigoniidae (Cretaceous Trigoniida), their palaeobiogeography, evolution and classification Michael R. Cooper and Héctor A. Leanza With 5 figures Abstract: The content, distribution, evolution and classification of the Cretaceous trigoniid family Buchotrigoniidae are assessed. The evolution of the group is tracked from its first appearance in the late Berriasian of Colombia until its final demise in the early Maastrichtian of Chile. Buchotrigoniids are a provincial group with their greatest diversity and longevity in the Andean Province. From there they spread northwards into the American Province during the Aptian and, simultaneously, migrated eastwards into western Tethys, reaching Central Asia by the late Cenomanian. The origin of the group remains problematical, and the long- held relationship with Syrotrigoniinae is regarded unproven. Due to a lack of beaded escutcheon and median carinae at any growth stage, Buchotrigoniidae are trans- ferred from Myophorelloidea to Megatrigonioidea. As a result of phylogenetic analysis four genera are recognized, two of which are new. Key words: Bivalvia, Trigonioida, Megatrigonioidea, Buchotrigoniidae, palaeobiogeography, evo- lution, classification, new taxa. 1.

MINERAL.& Vol. XXXV, No. 1, pp. 1-108, Pls. 1-11 Permian Bivalves of Japan By Keiji NAKAzAwA and Norman D. NEwELL* (Received Aprii 28, 1968) Abstract Permian bivalve molluscs ofJapan shed interesting new light on the paleontological com- position of the youngest, post-fusulinid, marine faunas of the highest Paleozoic, and the bivalves tend to bridge the gap between the uppermost Permian and the lowest Triassic occupied in most regions ofthe world by a hiatus. However, there is a noteworthy break, even inJapan, between the Permian and Triassic ,systems where there are no bivalve species in common between the Permian and Triassic. Ninety-six species belonging to 46 genera of bivalves are distinguished in theJapanese Perrnian. Among these, 58 species, ofwhich 18 are new, are described in this paper. TowaPteria, Ensi teria, Tambanelta, HayasakaPecten, and Gnjocardita are proposed herein as new genera, and PermoPerna is presented as a new subgenus of Waagenoperna. It is worthy of note that the bivalves did not decrease in number and diversity during the late Permian, in contrast to some other invertebrates, and that the late Permian Gujo Formation con- tains a mixed fauna of Permian and Triassic aspect. Some Mesozoic types, such as Neoschizodus, Costatoria and WaagemoPerna, appeared in the middle Permian Kanokura Series.
