Gaudryceras hobetsense sp. nov. is described from the Nostoceras hetonaiense Zone (= lowest Maastrichtian) of the Hobetsu area, south-central Hokkaido, Northern Japan. Its shell is characterized by fine lirae on early whorls, distant rounded or flat-topped, narrow band-like ribs on middle and later whorls, and frequent collar-like ribs on later whorls. The occurrence of this new species strongly suggests the presence of lowest Maastrichtian strata in southern Alaska, and sheds light on the age delineation of the chronologically poorly defined beds in northern and eastern Hokkaido.

  • Palaeontology and Biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Qihulin
    Dissertation Submitted to the Combined Faculties for the Natural Sciences and for Mathematics of the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences presented by Master of Science: Gang Li Born in: Heilongjiang, China Oral examination: 30 November 2001 Gedruckt mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes (Printed with the support of German Academic Exchange Service) Palaeontology and biostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Qihulin Formation in eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China Referees: Prof. Dr. Peter Bengtson Prof. Pei-ji Chen This manuscript is produced only for examination as a doctoral dissertation and is not intended as a permanent scientific record. It is therefore not a publication in the sense of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Abstract The purpose of the study was to provide conclusive evidence for a chronostratigraphical assignment of the Qihulin Formation of the Longzhaogou Group exposed in Mishan and Hulin counties of eastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China. To develop an integrated view of the formation, all collected fossil groups, i.e. the macrofossils (ammonites and bivalves) and microfossils (agglutinated foraminifers and radiolarians) have been studied. The low-diversity ammonite fauna consists of Pseudohaploceras Hyatt, 1900, and Eogaudryceras Spath, 1927, which indicate a Barremian–Aptian age. The bivalve fauna consists of eight genera and 16 species. The occurrence of Thracia rotundata (J. de C: Sowerby) suggests an Aptian age. The agglutinated foraminifers comprise ten genera and 16 species, including common Lower Cretaceous species such as Ammodiscus rotalarius Loeblich & Tappan, 1949, Cribrostomoides? nonioninoides (Reuss, 1836), Haplophragmoides concavus (Chapman, 1892), Trochommina depressa Lozo, 1944. The radiolarians comprise ten genera and 17 species, where Novixitus sp., Xitus cf.

  • The Gaudryceratid Ammonoids from the Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica
    The gaudryceratid ammonoids from the Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica MARÍA E. RAFFI, EDUARDO B. OLIVERO, and FLORENCIA N. MILANESE Raffi, M.E., Olivero, E.B., and Milanese, F.N. 2019. The gaudryceratid ammonoids from the Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (3): 523–542. We describe new material of the subfamily Gaudryceratinae in Antarctica, including five new species: Gaudryceras submurdochi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., Anagaudryceras calabozoi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., Anagaudryceras subcom- pressum Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., Anagaudryceras sanctuarium Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., and Zelandites pujatoi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., recorded in Santonian to Maastrichtian deposits of the James Ross Basin. The early to mid-Campan- ian A. calabozoi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov. exhibits a clear dimorphism, expressed by marked differences in the ornament of the adult body chamber. Contrary to the scarcity of representative members of the subfamily Gaudryceratinae in the Upper Cretaceous of other localities in the Southern Hemisphere, the Antarctic record reveals high abundance and di- versity of 15 species and three genera in total. This highly diversified record of gaudryceratins is only comparable with the Santonian–Maastrichtian Gaudryceratinae of Hokkaido, Japan and Sakhalin, Russia, which yields a large number of species of Anagaudryceras, Gaudryceras, and Zelandites. The reasons for a similar, highly diversified record of the Gaudryceratinae in these distant and geographically nearly antipodal regions are not clear, but we argue that they prob- ably reflect a similar paleoecological control. Key words: Ammonoidea, Phylloceratida, Gaudryceratinae, Lytoceratoidea, Cretaceous, Antarctica. María E.

  • 131. a Note on the Japanese Ammonites Belonging to the Caudryceratidae*
    666 [Vol. 18, 131. A Note on the Japanese Ammonites Belonging to the Caudryceratidae*. By Taturo MATUMOTO. (Comm. by T. KATO,M.I.A., Dec. 12, 1942.) The Japanese fossils of the Gaudryceratidae, one of the important families of Cretaceous Ammonoidea, have been studied by H. Yabe and other Japanese paleontologists. I also had the opportunity of studying the material in connection with the biostratigraphic investi- gation on the Cretaceous deposits of Hokkaido and Karahuto. The following is a short note on the result of my study.' The numerous Japanese specimens so far examined are classified as follows. Family Gaydryceratidae. Genus Parajaubertella; Matumoto nov.

  • Ammonite Faunal Dynamics Across Bio−Events During the Mid− and Late Cretaceous Along the Russian Pacific Coast
    Ammonite faunal dynamics across bio−events during the mid− and Late Cretaceous along the Russian Pacific coast ELENA A. JAGT−YAZYKOVA Jagt−Yazykova, E.A. 2012. Ammonite faunal dynamics across bio−events during the mid− and Late Cretaceous along the Russian Pacific coast. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 57 (4): 737–748. The present paper focuses on the evolutionary dynamics of ammonites from sections along the Russian Pacific coast dur− ing the mid− and Late Cretaceous. Changes in ammonite diversity (i.e., disappearance [extinction or emigration], appear− ance [origination or immigration], and total number of species present) constitute the basis for the identification of the main bio−events. The regional diversity curve reflects all global mass extinctions, faunal turnovers, and radiations. In the case of the Pacific coastal regions, such bio−events (which are comparatively easily recognised and have been described in detail), rather than first or last appearance datums of index species, should be used for global correlation. This is because of the high degree of endemism and provinciality of Cretaceous macrofaunas from the Pacific region in general and of ammonites in particular.

    ACT A PAL A EON T 0 LOG ICA POLONICA Vol. 24 1919 No. J W. J. KENNEDY, M. R. CHAHIDA AND M. A. DJAFARIAN CENOMANIAN CEPHALOPODS FROM THE GLAUCONITIC LIMESTONE SOUTHEAST OF ESFAHAN, IRAN KENNEDY W. J., CHAHIDA M. R. and DJAFARIAN M. A.: Cenomanian cepha­ lopods from the Glauconitic Limestone southeast of Esfahan, Iran. Acta Palaeont Polonica, 24, I, 3-50, April 20, 1979. The Glauconitic Limestone of the area southeast of Esfahan yields a rich Ceno­ manian cephalopod fauna of Boreal aspect, including species of Anglonautllus, Stomohamites, Sciponoceras, Idiohamites, Ostllngoceras. Mariella, Hypoturrllites. Turrllites, Scaphites, Puzosia, Austiniceras, Hyphoplltes, Schloenbachia. Mantelll­ ceras, Sharpeiceras and Acompsoceras, most of which represent new records for the area. The age of this fauna Is unequivocally Lower Cenomanian, and can be correlated in detail at a distance of 5000 km with parts of the northwest European Hypoturrll!tes carcitanens!s and Mante!liceras saxbit Zones. The material studied includes none of the Upper Albian, Middle and Upper Cenomanian elements re­ corded from the unit by previous workers. The fauna Is numerically dominated by acanthoceratids, in marked contrast to the Schloenbachia-dominated faunas of northwestern Europe. This suggests the area lay In the southern parts of the Boreal Realm, where Schloenbachia Is known to become progressively scarcer, as Is supported by proximity to the Zagros line marking the juncture of Asian and Arabian plates.

Climate change is affecting the water budget of mountains at a fast pace and it has thus become a priority for hydrologists to quantify the vulnerability of each hydrological component to climate change, in order to assess the availability of water in the near future. However, our incomplete understanding of mountain hydrology implies that our knowledge about the future water supply of billions of people worldwide is limited.

King • David H. Evans Received: 4 November 2018 / Accepted: 13 February 2019 / Published online: 14 March 2019 Ó Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT) 2019 Abstract High-level classification of the nautiloid cephalopods has been largely neglected since the publication of the Russian and American treatises in the early 1960s. Although there is broad general agreement amongst specialists regarding the status of nautiloid orders, there is no real consensus or consistent approach regarding higher ranks and an array of superorders utilising various morphological features has been proposed. With work now commencing on the revision of the Treatise Part K, there is an urgent need for a methodical and standardised approach to the high-level classification of the nautiloids. The scheme proposed here utilizes the form of muscle attachment scars as a diagnostic feature at subclass level; other features (including siphuncular structures and cameral deposits) are employed at ordinal level. We recognise five sub- classes of nautiloid cephalopods (Plectronoceratia, Multiceratia, Tarphyceratia nov., Orthoceratia, Nautilia) and 18 orders including the Order Rioceratida nov. which contains the new family Bactroceratidae. This scheme has the advantage of relative simplicity (it avoids the use of superorders) and presents a balanced approach which reflects the considerable morphological diversity and phylogenetic longevity of the nautiloids in comparison with the ammonoid and coleoid cephalopods.
