  • Convergent and Parallel Evolutionary Traits in Early Cretaceous Rudist Bivalves (Hippuritidina)
    International Journal of Paleobiology & Paleontology ISSN: 2642-1283 MEDWIN PUBLISHERS Committed to Create Value for Researchers Convergent and Parallel Evolutionary Traits in Early Cretaceous Rudist Bivalves (Hippuritidina) Masse JP* and Fenerci Masse M Review Article Aix-Marseille University, France Volume 4 Issue 1 Received Date: December 07, 2020 *Corresponding author: Jean Pierre Masse, Aix-Marseille University, Place Victor Hugo. Published Date: January 12, 2021 13331 Marseille Cedex 03, France, Email: [email protected] Abstract Early Cretaceous Hippuritida clades, requieniide (family Requieniidae) and hippuritide (families Radiolitidae, Polyconitidae, Caprinidae, “Caprinulidae” and Caprinuloideidae), show distinctive myophoral arrangements and shell structures. Nevertheless they share some characters, such as the transverse shell thickening of the myophores of the attached valve which are convergent traits in Lovetchenia (Requieniidae) and Homopleura (Monopleuridae). The bent posterior myophore of the right valve of Pseudotoucasia (Requieniidae) closely resemble the posterior myophore of the left valve of Horiopleura and Polyconites (Polyconitidae). The shell cellular structure is one of the key attributes of the family Radiolitidae (e.g. Eoradiolites) but this structure is also present in some advanced Requieniidae (“Toucasia-Apricardia “group). Canaliculate shell structures are convergent evolutionary traits which are common in the Caprinidae and Caprinuloideidae and also exist in parallel evolution: expansion of canals into the entire shell and increasing complexity of canal architecture. Convergent taxa the Polyconitidae and “Caprinulidae”. In most of the foregoing canaliculated groups, two trends are well expressed, reflecting took some advantages by using former innovations. An Albian peak of convergence coincided with the emergence of new clades, which suggests a reset following the mid-Aptian extinction event.

  • Edwards Limestone Bioherms of Central Texas with the Holocene Coral Reefs of Bermuda
    ABSTRACT A Comparison of the Cretaceous (Albian) Edwards Limestone Bioherms of Central Texas with the Holocene Coral Reefs of Bermuda Adam J. Damman, M.S. Committee Chairperson: Rena M. Bonem, Ph.D. The Edwards Limestone of Central Texas is comprised of numerous rudist-dominated patch reefs that are collectively referred to as the Central Texas Reef Trend. These bioherms were protected by the Stuart City barrier reefs along the Texas Gulf Coast. The Stuart City reefs have been compared with the modern barrier reefs of Australia and Belize, but there is currently no modern analog for the Central Texas bioherms. Bermuda was chosen for a modern analog study based on the existence of a protective rim reef system, its low biodiversity, and a slower reef growth rate as compared with other modern reefs. Although the patch reefs of Bermuda were determined to be “similar” to the Central Texas Edwards Limestone bioherms in many respects, the high temperatures and unique oceanographic conditions of the Cretaceous likely means that no exact modern analog for the rudist-dominated Edwards bioherms exists A Comparison of the Cretaceous (Albian) Edwards Limestone Bioherms of Central Texas with the Holocene Coral Reefs of Bermuda by Adam J.

    Skelton, P. W. 2013. Rudist classification for the revised Bivalvia volumes of the ‘Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology.’ Caribbean Journal of Earth Science, volume 45, 9-33. © Geological Society of Jamaica. Available online 12th March 2013. Rudist classification for the revised Bivalvia volumes of the ‘Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology’ PETER W. SKELTON Department of Environment, Earth and Ecosystems, The Open University, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. An updated phylogenetic classification of rudist bivalves is proposed for the revised Bivalvia volumes of the ‘Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology’. Already formalised as Order Hippuritida Newell, rudists are divided between two new monophyletic suborders established herein, Requieniidina, comprising all taxa attached by the left valve, and Radiolitidina, encompassing all those attached by the right valve. The Requieniidina contains one superfamily, Requienioidea Kutassy, consisting of a small paraphyletic family, Epidiceratidae Renngarten, and a larger derivative family, Requieniidae Kutassy. The Radiolitidina contains two superfamilies re-defined herein, Radiolitoidea d’Orbigny and Caprinoidea d’Orbigny. The paraphyletic Radiolitoidea includes a small basal family, Diceratidae Dall, together with a major clade that encompasses the paraphyletic Monopleuridae Munier Chalmas and a large descendent family, Radiolitidae d’Orbigny, as well as a smaller descendent family, Polyconitidae Mac Gillavry, which, in turn, is considered the root stock for the families Plagioptychidae Douvillé, Hippuritidae Gray, Caprotinidae Gray, Caprinulidae Yanin, and Trechmannellidae Cox. The monophyletic Caprinoidea d’Orbigny, comprises the monophyletic Family Caprinidae d’Orbigny and paraphyletic Family Caprinuloideidae Damestoy, from which probably arose both the families Ichthyosarcolitidae Douvillé and Antillocaprinidae Mac Gillavry. This classification covers at least 158 genera (including a few currently being described), leaving 8 poorly known genera as incertae sedis.

  • The Great Pearl Bank Barrier of the Arabian Gulf As a Possible Shu'aiba
    GeoArabia, Vol. 2, No. 3, 1997 Pearl Bank Barrier; Shu'aiba Analogue Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain The Great Pearl Bank Barrier of the Arabian Gulf as a Possible Shu’aiba Analogue Geraint W. Hughes Saudi Aramco ABSTRACT Within the Arabian Peninsula, the Shu’aiba Formation is one of three Cretaceous carbonate formations in which rudist bivalves are an important component. The favourable hydrocarbon reservoir properties of these carbonates are primarily attributed to the presence of the rudists and their associated debris, which accumulated along the margins of an intra-shelf basin. The rudist banks caused differentiation of an earlier carbonate platform into lagoon, back-bank, bank, fore-bank and open marine environments. Understanding of the orientation of these banks has been significantly assisted by micropalaeontological analysis of the rudist-associated sediment, but may be additionally enhanced by the study of Recent large bivalves, such as the ‘fan mussel’ Pinna spp. The depositional geometries of the rudist-dominated facies of the Shu’aiba Formation may be better understood by studying the Great Pearl Bank Barrier, located on the southern flank of the Arabian Gulf, as this may present a Recent analogue for variations in sedimentation and bioclast distribution. The Great Pearl Bank Barrier complex includes a submarine ridge that extends for approximately 200 kilometers between the Qatar Peninsula and Abu Dhabi, and lies in water depths of less than 8 meters, together with a deep lagoon and barrier flank facies. The submarine barrier complex and the back island lagoons consist primarily of bivalve shells, sands and mud, in which are embedded locally dense populations of the large bivalve species Pinna bicolor Gmelin and P.mururicata (Linnaeus).

  • Anacacho Limestone of Texas
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SOME MACROFOSSILS FROM THE CRETACEOUS (CAMPANIAN) ANACACHO LIMESTONE OF TEXAS BY WILLIAM P. ELDER1 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OPEN-FILE REPORT 94-551 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1 Menlo Park, California ABSTRACT The Anacacho Limestone was deposited during the Campanian and represents two time intervals, one of early Campanian and one of middle Campanian age. These two intervals correspond to transgressive periods following major sea level drops near the base and top of the lower Campanian. This study focuses on the molluscan paleontology of the middle Campanian interval in the eastern part of the Anacacho exposure belt in Medina County, Texas. Molluscan assemblages in this area are indicative of inner to mid-shelf environments. No significant reef components are present. These eastern Anacacho deposits are interpreted to represent more offshore, deeper water environments than those to the southwest, where reef and lagoonal deposits have been reported. Compilation of macrofossil lists from these eastern localities has expanded the number of invertebrate species known from the Anacacho Limestone by nearly three-fold. This increase in diversity, based on a small amount of new work, suggests that many more taxa are yet to be identified, particularly in the western part of the exposure belt in Uvalde and Kinney Counties.
