Devonian Bryozoans of the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland
ACT A PAL A EON T 0 LOG ICA POLONICA Vol. XVIII 1973 No.4 MARIA KIEPURA DEVONIAN BRYOZOANS OF THE HOLY CROSS MOUNTAINS, POLAND. PART II. CYCLOSTOMATA AND CYSTOPORATA Abstract. - Descriptions are given of 33, species of Middle Devonian Bryozoa from the Holy Cross Mts., belonging to the orders Cyclostomata and Cystoporata. Cyclo stomata are represented by 26 species (4 new: Corynotrypa (Corynotrypa) skalensis, C. (C.) basiplata, Stomatopora varigemmata and Diversipora bitubulata n. gen.). Cystoporata are represented by 7 new species: Ceramoporella orbiculata, C. grandi cystica, Favositella integrimuralis, Fistulipora boardmani, F. emphantica, Cyclotrypa nekhoroshevi and Fistuliramus astrovae. The systematic assignment of the genus Hederella Hall, 1881 has been discussed and the "tabulate-like" microstructure of the zooecial walls of this genus examined. In addition, the epifauna and associated assemblages have been characterized as well as the geological and palaeoecological conditions in which the described Bryozoa occurred. INTRODUCTION Among the Middle Devonian Bryozoa of the Holy Cross Mts., the present author has, up to now, described Ctenostomata (Kiepura, 1965). The present paper is a continuation of her investigations on the Middle Devonian Bryozoa of this region and contains descriptions of 33 species belonging to 9 genera of the orders Cyclostomata and Cystoporata occur ring in the Grzegorzowice - Skaly profile. The bryozoan collection of the Palaeozoological Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences also contains a rich material representing the orders Trepostomata and Cryptostomata from the Middle Devonian of the Holy Cross Mts., which will be described at a future date. The material described in the present paper was collected by the author during several years of fieldwork (1950-1954). -

Introduction to the Trilobites: Morphology, Ecology, Macroevolution and More By Michelle M. Casey1, Perry Kennard2, and Bruce S. Lieberman1, 3 1Biodiversity Institute, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, 66045, 2Earth Science Teacher, Southwest Middle School, USD497, and 3Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045 Middle level laboratory exercise for Earth or General Science; supported provided by National Science Foundation (NSF) grants DEB-1256993 and EF-1206757. Learning Goals and Pedagogy This lab is designed for middle level General Science or Earth Science classes. The learning goals for this lab are the following: 1) to familiarize students with the anatomy and terminology relating to trilobites; 2) to give students experience identifying morphologic structures on real fossil specimens 3) to highlight major events or trends in the evolutionary history and ecology of the Trilobita; and 4) to expose students to the study of macroevolution in the fossil record using trilobites as a case study. Introduction to the Trilobites The Trilobites are an extinct subphylum of the Arthropoda (the most diverse phylum on earth with nearly a million species described). Arthropoda also contains all fossil and living crustaceans, spiders, and insects as well as several other extinct groups. The trilobites were an extremely important and diverse type of marine invertebrates that lived during the Paleozoic Era. They only lived in the oceans but occurred in all types of marine environments, and ranged in size from less than a centimeter to almost a meter across. They were once one of the most successful of all animal groups and in certain fossil deposits, especially in the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian periods, they are extremely abundant. -
Biodiversity, Distribution and Patterns of Extinction of the Last Odontopleuroid Trilobites During the Devonian (Givetian, Frasnian)

Bataillon, 34095 Montpellier, France †Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK (Received 18 September 2006; accepted 22 February 2007) Abstract – Biostratigraphical ranges and palaeogeographical distribution of mid-Givetian to end- Frasnian odontopleurids are investigated. The discovery of Leonaspis rhenohercynica sp. nov. in mid-Givetian strata extends this genus unexpectedly up to the late Middle Devonian. New material of Radiaspis radiata (Goldfuss, 1843) and the first koneprusiine in Britain, Koneprusia? sp., are described from the famous Lummaton shell-bed, Torquay, Devon. New taxa of Koneprusia, K. serrensis, K. aboussalamae, K. brevispina,andK. sp. A and K. sp. B are defined. Ceratocephala (Leonaspis) harborti Richter & Richter, 1926, is revised and reassigned to Gondwanaspis Feist, 2002. Two new species of Gondwanaspis, G. dracula and G. spinosa, plus three others left in open nomenclature, are described from the late Frasnian of Western Australia. A further species of Gondwanaspis, G. prisca, is described from the early Frasnian of Montagne Noire. Species of Gondwanaspis are shown to possess a number of paedomorphic features. A functional analysis suggests that, unlike other odontopleurids, Gondwanaspis actively fed and rested with the same cephalic orientation. The sole odontopleurid survivors of the severe terminal mid-Givetian biocrisis (‘Taghanic Event’) belong to the koneprusiine Koneprusia in the late Givetian and Frasnian, and, of cryptogenic origin, the acidaspidine Gondwanaspis in the Frasnian. -

A total of 15 families; 36 genera and 53 species are documented herein, including a new genus and seventeen new species; fourteen of which remain under open nomenclature. Most of the trilobites in the British late Silurian are restricted to the shelf, and predominantly occur in the Elton, Bringewood, Leintwardine, and Whitcliffe groups of Wales and the Welsh Borderland. The Elton to Whitcliffe groups represent a shallowing upwards sequence overall; each is characterised by a distinct lithofacies and fauna. The trilobites and brachiopods of the Coldwell Formation of the Lake District Basin are documented, and are comparable with faunas in the Swedish Colonus Shale and the Mottled Mudstones of North Wales. Ludlow trilobite associations, containing commonly co-occurring trilobite taxa, are defined for each palaeoenvironment. -

(Communicated by the President.) [Read November 17th, 1852.] PLATES XX.-XXVIII. Introduction. [Abridged.] [BEFORE entering upon the special subject of his Memoir, Mr. Bain gives a sketch of the progress of his geological researches in South Africa, and refers to his former communication, laid before the Society in 1844*, descriptive of the Geology of the Eastern Provinces of the Cape Colony, which was accompanied by Professor Owen's description of the fossil remains of that peculiar reptile the DICYNODON. Desirous of working out the history of this extraordinary creature and its habitat,—and further stimulated and encouraged by the grant of the Wollaston Donation Fund on the part of the Geological Society, and by a grant from the Royal Bounty Fund, through the hands of the late lamented Sir Robert Peel,—the author extended his researches, and sedulously applied himself to work out the geological phenomena of the Colonial territories through which he has now for some time been engaged in carrying out an extensive system of Military Roads. As the basis for his operations, Mr. Bain has used the excellent Ordnance Map, compiled by Mr. Henry Hall of the Royal Engineer Department, and for a copy of which he was indebted to the kindness of the (late) Honourable Mr. Montagu, Secre tary to Government, and of Charles Bell, Esq., Surveyor-General of Cape Colony.

Legacy of the Locust—Dudley and Its Famous Trilobite Calymene Blumenbachii
LEGACY OF THE LOCUST—DUDLEY AND ITS FAMOUS TRILOBITE CALYMENE BLUMENBACHII DONALD G. MIKULIC AND JOANNE KLUESSENDORF Illinois State Geological Survey, Champaign, IL 61820, [email protected], and Weis Earth Science Museum, University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley, Menasha, Wisconsin 54952, [email protected] ABSTRACT—The trilobite Calymene blumenbachii from the Silurian at Dudley, England, had a fundamental role in the early study of this prominent group of extinct arthropods. Discovered during the mid-1700s, this was the first trilo- bite known from numerous complete and well-preserved fossils anywhere in the world. Commonly known as the Dudley Fossil or Dudley Locust, exceptional specimens of this trilobite became widely distributed in collections throughout Europe. As a result, they were central to the most influential trilobite papers of the time including those of Walch (1771) and Brongniart (1822). Many basic characteristics of the group, including their ability to enroll, were first established through the study of these fossils. In turn, this information provided the key evidence used to estab- lish the arthropod affinities of this group. During the late eighteenth century, all trilobites were commonly referred to as Dudley Fossils, and demonstrate the initial importance and prominence of this species. It became the standard of comparison in trilobite research, as well as the textbook example for these fossils. No other trilobite contributed as much to the early understanding of these ancient animals. The scientific prominence of Calymene blumenbachii derived from geologic and economic factors. The limestones at Dudley contained an exceptionally rich biota of well-preserved Silurian fossils, of which this trilobite was the most notable.
