Mollusks and a Crustacean from Early Oligocene Methane-Seep Deposits in the Talara Basin, Northern Peru
Mollusks and a crustacean from early Oligocene methane-seep deposits in the Talara Basin, northern Peru STEFFEN KIEL, FRIDA HYBERTSEN, MATÚŠ HYŽNÝ, and ADIËL A. KLOMPMAKER Kiel, S., Hybertsen, F., Hyžný, M., and Klompmaker, A.A. 2020. Mollusks and a crustacean from early Oligocene methane- seep deposits in the Talara Basin, northern Peru. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 65 (1): 109–138. A total of 25 species of mollusks and crustaceans are reported from Oligocene seep deposits in the Talara Basin in north- ern Peru. Among these, 12 are identified to the species-level, including one new genus, six new species, and three new combinations. Pseudophopsis is introduced for medium-sized, elongate-oval kalenterid bivalves with a strong hinge plate and largely reduced hinge teeth, rough surface sculpture and lacking a pallial sinus. The new species include two bivalves, three gastropods, and one decapod crustacean: the protobranch bivalve Neilo altamirano and the vesicomyid bivalve Pleurophopsis talarensis; among the gastropods, the pyropeltid Pyropelta seca, the provannid Provanna pelada, and the hokkaidoconchid Ascheria salina; the new crustacean is the callianassid Eucalliax capsulasetaea. New combina- tions include the bivalves Conchocele tessaria, Lucinoma zapotalensis, and Pseudophopsis peruviana. Two species are shared with late Eocene to Oligocene seep faunas in Washington state, USA: Provanna antiqua and Colus sekiuensis; the Talara Basin fauna shares only genera, but no species with Oligocene seep fauna in other regions. Further noteworthy aspects of the molluscan fauna include the remarkable diversity of four limpet species, the oldest record of the cocculinid Coccopigya, and the youngest record of the largely seep-restricted genus Ascheria.

A New Late Pliocene Large Provannid Gastropod Associated with Hydrothermal Venting at Kane Megamullion, Mid-Atlantic Ridge
A new Late Pliocene large provannid gastropod associated with hydrothermal venting at Kane Megamullion, Mid-Atlantic Ridge Andrzej Kaima*, Brian E. Tucholkeb, and Anders Warénc aBayerische Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie, Richard-Wagner-Str. 10, 80333 München, Germany and Instytut Paleobiologii PAN, ul. Twarda 51/55, 00-818 Warszawa, Poland. bDepartment of Geology and Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543 USA. cDepartment of Invertebrate Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, SE-10405 Stockholm, Sweden. *[email protected] Abstract A new gastropod, Kaneconcha knorri gen et sp. nov., was found in marlstone dredged from the surface of Adam Dome at Kane Megamullion on the flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in an area of former hydrothermal activity. The snail is interpreted as a large provannid similar to the chemosymbiotic genera Ifremeria and Alviniconcha. This is the first record of presumably chemosymbiotic provannids from the Atlantic Ocean and also the first fossil record of such large provannids associated with hydrothermal venting. Extant Alviniconcha and Ifremeria are endemic to hydrothermal vents in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Kaneconcha differs from Ifremeria in having no umbilicus and a posterior notch, and it differs from Alviniconcha in having the profile of the whorl slightly flattened and having no callus on the inner lip. A dark layer covering the Kaneconcha shell is interpreted here as a fossilized periostracum. The shell/periostracum interface shows fungal traces attributed to the ichnospecies Saccomorpha clava. We hypothesize that large chemosymbiotic provannids (i.e., Kaneconcha, Ifremeria, and Alviniconcha) form a clade that possibly diverged from remaining provannids in the Late Jurassic, with the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous Paskentana being an early member.

A New Relict Stem Salamander from the Early Cretaceous of Yakutia, Siberian Russia
A new relict stem salamander from the Early Cretaceous of Yakutia, Siberian Russia PAVEL P. SKUTSCHAS, VENIAMIN V. KOLCHANOV, ALEXANDER O. AVERIANOV, THOMAS MARTIN, RICO SCHELLHORN, PETR N. KOLOSOV, and DMITRY D. VITENKO Skutschas, P.P. Kolchanov, V.V., Averianov, A.O., Martin, T., Schellhorn, R., Kolosov, P.N., and Vitenko, D.D. 2018. A new relict stem salamander from the Early Cretaceous of Yakutia, Siberian Russia. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (3): 519–525. A new stem salamander, Kulgeriherpeton ultimum gen. et sp. nov., is described based on a nearly complete atlas from the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian–Barremian) Teete vertebrate locality in southwestern Yakutia (Eastern Siberia, Russia). The new taxon is diagnosed by the following unique combination of atlantal characters: the presence of a transversal ridge and a depression on the ventral surface of the posterior portion of the centrum; ossified portions of the intercotylar tubercle represented by dorsal and ventral lips; the absence of a deep depression on the ventral surface of the anterior por- tion of the centrum; the absence of pronounced ventrolateral ridges; the absence of spinal nerve foramina; the presence of a pitted texture on the ventral and lateral surfaces of the centrum and lateral surfaces neural arch pedicels; the presence of a short neural arch with its anterior border situated far behind the level of the anterior cotyles; moderately dorsoventrally compressed anterior cotyles; and the absence of a deep incisure on the distal-most end of the neural spine. The internal microanatomical organization of the atlas is characterized by the presence of a thick, moderately vascularized cortex and inner cancellous endochondral bone.

B) In the Syracuse area, dinosaur bones are located deep below the Earth's surface. C) The dinosaurs were mobile and left no remains in the Syracuse area. D) No rock record exists in the Syracuse area for the time period when the dinosaurs lived. 2. Most of the surface bedrock found in New York State was formed during which era? A) Precambrian B) Paleozoic C) Mesozoic D) Cenozoic 3. The most complete fossil record of past invertebrate life in New Jersey can be found in rocks of which era? A) Cenozoic B) Mesozoic C) Precambrian D) Paleozoic 4. Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below, which represents a rock sample containing fossilized Coelophysis footprints. According to current knowledge of New York State fossils, during which geologic time period were these footprints most probably made? A) Cambrian B) Devonian C) Cretaceous D) Triassic Base your answers to questions 5 and 6 on the map and cross section below. The shaded areas on the map represent regions of the United States that have evaporite rock layers (layers of rock formed from the evaporation of seawater) under the surface bedrock. The cross section shows the generalized structure of the area in which the evaporite layers are found in New York State. 5. At which location in New York State are evaporite rocks found under the surface bedrock? A) Old Forge B) Jamestown C) Massena D) Kingston 6.
