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. Most of the lineages continue to occur throughout most of the section enabling quantitative studies on their phyletic evolut ion. Apparatuses of sixty seven species of thirty six genera are described and illustrated. Phyletic evolution of Ba/toniodus, Amorphognathu s, Comp/exodus, and Pygodus is biometrically documented.

    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. Traditionally species of the genus Siphonodella are used The shallow-water siphonodellids of the Chinese for biostratigraphy of the lower part of the Tournaisian branch appeared in the earliest Tournaisian and ranged (Sandberg et al. 1978; Ji 1985; Ji & Ziegler 1992; up to the late Tournaisian (Ji & Ziegler 1992).

In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes­ sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in­ terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

    Biostratigraphic problems of Morrowan and Derryan (Atokan) strata in the Pennsylvanian System of western United States D. L. DUNN Gulf Research and Development Company, H.T.S.C., P.O. Box 36506, Houston, Texas 77036 ABSTRACT CONODONT ZONES Although both foraminiferal and conodont zonations have been Lane and Straka (1974) proposed a conodont zonation (Fig. 1) proposed for Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian strata, the current for Arkansas and Oklahoma utilizing slightly different terminology state of the art indicates that several proposed Morrowan cono- from that proposed by Lane and others (1971). They did not rec- dont zones and one important Derryan(?) fusulinid zone (21) and ognize the Streptognathodus expansus—S. suberectus, the the ranges of several important associated conodonts and Idiognathodus humerus—I. sinuosis, and the Streptognathodus fusulinids are in question. The conodont zones in question are the parvus—Adetognathus spathus Zones proposed earlier (Dunn, Gnathodus girtyi simplex, the Streptognathodus expansus-S. sub- 1970b), apparently because they did not believe these zones to be erectus, the Idiognathodus humerus—I. sinuosis, and the adequately documented in northeastern Oklahoma (Lane and Streptognathodus parvus— Adetognathus spathus Zones of Dunn Straka, 1974, p. 31). Lane and Straka (1974) have failed to recog- and the Idiognathodus sinuosis, I. klapperi, and 1. convexus nize the significance of some of the most important upper Mor- Zones of Lane and Straka. The conodonts whose ranges are in rowan index fossils now known — namely, those of the first and question are Gnathodus girtyi simplex, Rhachistognathus, third zones cited above — and, consequently, have demonstrated muricatus, Declinognathodus noduliferus, Adetognathus spathus, inconsistency in the correlation of Morrowan strata and in the Neognathodus bassleri bassleri, and Idiognathoides convexus.
