The shark fauna of the Upper Cretaceous Hinoshima Formation (Santonian: 86.3–83.6 Ma) of the manuscriptHimenoura Group (Kamiamakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan) was investigated based on fossil shark teeth found at five localities: Himedo Park, Kugushima, Wadanohana, Higashiura, and Kotorigoe. A detailed geological survey and taxonomic analysis was undertaken, and the habitat, depositional environment, and associated mollusks of each locality were considered in the context of previous studies. Twenty-one species, 15 genera, 11 families, and 6 orders of fossil sharks are recognized from the localities. This assemblage is more diverse than has previously been reported for Japan, and Lamniformes and Hexanchiformes were abundant. Three categories of shark fauna are recognized: a coastal region (Himedo Park; probably a breeding site), the coast to the open sea (Kugushima and Wadanohana), and bottom-dwelling or near-seafloor fauna (Kugushima, Wadanohana, Higashiura, and Kotorigoe).

  • Empire and Architecture at 16Th-Century Puerto Real, Hispaniola: an Archeological Perspective
    EMPIRE AND ARCHITECTURE AT 16th -CENTURY PUERTO REAL, HISPANIOLA: AN ARCHEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE BY RAYMOND F. WILLIS DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1984 Copyright 1984 by Raymond F. Willis t; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research for this dissertation was funded by the Organization of American States, University of Florida, and Wentworth Foundation. I would first like to thank four individuals whose support and guidance made possible the accomplishment of successful, large-scale archeological research in Haiti: Albert Mangones, director of Haiti's Institute de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine National (ISPAN) ; Ragnar Arnesen, director of Haiti's Organization of American States (OAS) delegation; Dr. William Hodges, director of the Hopital le Bon Samaritain at Limbe , Haiti; and, Paul Hodges, a good friend and the best site manager and most competent field photographer I will ever have the pleasure to work with. Without the guidance of these four men I could not have come near to accomplishing my goals; all four have the deepest concern for the welfare and upward progression of the Haitian people. I can only hope that this dissertation will illustrate that the support and trust they gave me were not wasted. Many individuals at the University of Florida aided me and supported this project over the past six years. First is my original committee chairman (now retired) Dr. Charles H. Fairbanks, Distinguished Service iii . Professor m Anthropology. Dr. Fairbanks was the original principal investigator and prime mover for the initiation of the Puerto Real project.

  • From the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) Kanguk Formation of Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada, and Its Ecological and Geographical Implications MATTHEW J
    ARCTIC VOL. 67, NO. 1 (MARCH 2014) P. 1 – 9 A Hadrosaurid (Dinosauria: Ornithischia) from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) Kanguk Formation of Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada, and Its Ecological and Geographical Implications MATTHEW J. VAVREK,1 LEN V. HILLS2 and PHILIP J. CURRIE3 (Received 1 October 2012; accepted in revised form 30 May 2013) ABSTRACT. A hadrosaurid vertebra was recovered during a palynological survey of the Upper Cretaceous Kanguk Formation in the eastern Canadian Arctic. This vertebra represents the farthest north record of any non-avian dinosaur to date. Although highly abraded, the fossil nonetheless represents an interesting biogeographic data point. During the Campanian, when this vertebra was deposited, the eastern Canadian Arctic was likely isolated both from western North America by the Western Interior Seaway and from more southern regions of eastern North America by the Hudson Seaway. This fossil suggests that large-bodied hadrosaurid dinosaurs may have inhabited a large polar insular landmass during the Late Cretaceous, where they would have lived year-round, unable to migrate to more southern regions during winters. It is possible that the resident herbivorous dinosaurs could have fed on non-deciduous conifers, as well as other woody twigs and stems, during the long, dark winter months when most deciduous plant species had lost their leaves. Key words: Appalachia, Arctic, Campanian, dinosaur, Laramidia, palaeobiogeography RÉSUMÉ. La vertèbre d’un hadrosauridé a été retrouvée pendant l’étude palynologique de la formation Kanguk remontant au Crétacé supérieur, dans l’est de l’Arctique canadien.
