  • 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.

  • A New Species of the Conodont Genus Siphonodella Branson & Mehl
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2017, 66, 4, 188–192 https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2017.15 A new species of the conodont genus Siphonodella Branson & Mehl (late Tournaisian) Andrey V. 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.

  • Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Biogeography of the Late Famennian Conodont Genus Mashkovia
    Journal of Micropalaeontology, 17: 119-124. 0262-821)</98$10.00 0 1998 British Micropalaeontological Society. Taxonomy, phylogeny and biogeography of the late Famennian conodont genus Mashkovia ZDZISLAW BELKA Geologisch-Palaontologisches Institut, Universitat Tubingen, Sigwartstr. 10, D - 72076 Tiibingen, Germany. ABSTRACT - Mashkovia is one of the provincial conodonts which developed during late Famennian time in the cratonic regions of Russia. In this study, the taxonomy of this genus is revised, based on diagnostic characters of the Pa elements, such as the morphology of the anterior part of the platform, the ornamentation and the shape of the secondary keels. As a consequence, four species, including M. silesiensis n. sp. now discovered in Upper Silesia of southern Poland, are distinguished. The apparent absence of Mashkovia from North America, Variscan Europe, Australia and Africa cannot be simply explained by using temperature or other global climatic factors as a reason for the provincialism. Currents and/or local palaeoecologic factors were probably more important in controlling the distribution of these conodonts. J. Micropalaeontol. 17(2): 119-124, December 1998. INTRODUCTION This paper summarizes the present knowledge of the late Famennian conodont genus Mashkovia, which is a real rarity among the Devonian conodont elements. Up to now, only about 80 specimens of Pa elements of Mashkovia have been found throughout the world. The multi-element composition of its apparatus is unknown. As at present conceived, Mashkovia contains four species, three of which, M. simakovi (Gagiev, 1979), M. similis (Gagiev, 1979), and M. tamarae Kononova & Pazuhin, 1983, are known exclusively from Russia. The fourth one, M. silesiensis n.
