A New Species of the Sauropsid Reptile Nothosaurus from the Lower Muschelkalk of the Western Germanic Basin, Winterswijk, the Netherlands
A new species of the sauropsid reptile Nothosaurus from the Lower Muschelkalk of the western Germanic Basin, Winterswijk, The Netherlands NICOLE KLEIN and PAUL C.H. ALBERS Klein, N. and Albers, P.C.H. 2009. A new species of the sauropsid reptile Nothosaurus from the Lower Muschelkalk of the western Germanic Basin, Winterswijk, The Netherlands. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 54 (4): 589–598. doi:10.4202/ app.2008.0083 A nothosaur skull recently discovered from the Lower Muschelkalk (early Anisian) locality of Winterswijk, The Nether− lands, represents at only 46 mm in length the smallest nothosaur skull known today. It resembles largely the skull mor− phology of Nothosaurus marchicus. Differences concern beside the size, the straight rectangular and relative broad parietals, the short posterior extent of the maxilla, the skull proportions, and the overall low number of maxillary teeth. In spite of its small size, the skull can not unequivocally be interpreted as juvenile. It shows fused premaxillae, nasals, frontals, and parietals, a nearly co−ossified jugal, and fully developed braincase elements, such as a basisphenoid and mas− sive epipterygoids. Adding the specimen to an existing phylogenetic analysis shows that it should be assigned to a new species, Nothosaurus winkelhorsti sp. nov., at least until its juvenile status can be unequivocally verified. Nothosaurus winkelhorsti sp. nov. represents, together with Nothosaurus juvenilis, the most basal nothosaur, so far. Key words: Sauropterygia, Nothosaurus, ontogeny, Anisian, The Netherlands.

Silicification and Organic Matter Preservation In
Central European Geology, Vol. 60/1, 35–52 (2017) DOI: 10.1556/24.60.2017.002 First published online February 28, 2017 Silicification and organic matter preservation in the Anisian Muschelkalk: Implications for the basin dynamics of the central European Muschelkalk Sea Annette E. Götz1*, Michael Montenari1, Gelu Costin2 1School of Physical and Geographical Sciences, Keele University, Staffordshire, United Kingdom 2Department of Earth Science, Rice University, Houston, TX, USA Received: July 19, 2016; accepted: October 3, 2016 Anisian Muschelkalk carbonates of the southern Germanic Basin containing silicified ooidal grainstone are interpreted as evidence of changing pH conditions triggered by increased bioproductivity (marine phytoplankton) and terrestrial input of plant debris during maximum flooding. Three distinct stages of calcite ooid replacement by silica were detected. Stage 1 reflects authigenic quartz development during the growth of the ooids, suggesting a change in the pH–temperature regime of the depositional environment. Stages 2 and 3 are found in silica-rich domains. The composition of silica-rich ooids shows significant Al2O3 and SrO but no FeO and MnO, indicating that late diagenetic alteration was minor. Silicified interparticle pore space is characterized by excellent preservation of marine prasinophytes; palynological slides show high abundance of terrestrial phytoclasts. The implications of our findings for basin dynamics reach from paleogeography to cyclostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy, since changes in the seawater chemistry and sedimentary organic matter distribution reflect both the marine conditions as well as the hinterland. Basin interior changes might overprint the influence of the Tethys Ocean through the eastern and western gate areas. Stratigraphically, such changes might enhance marine flooding signals. -

HEN the older collections from the Himalayan Trias were W described, species were regarded in a much wider sense than obtains nowadays ; hence, before the correlation of the Indian Trias with the Triassic rocks of other countries could be attempted, it was necessary for these collections to be re-examined and fully described. Accordingly, at the suggestion of Mr. Griesbach (now Director), the Geological Survey of India consented to send all their collections of Himalayan fossils to Professor Suess in Vienna, in order that they might be worked out by Austrian specialists. (1) The Cephalopoda were entrusted to Dr. E. Mojsisovics, who has done so much work on the Cephalopoda of the Austrian Trias; and he at once saw that by far the larger number of the specimens came from the lower portion of the Trias, and that the upper beds were represented by only a few specimens.

Hydrochemical properties of deep carbonate aquifers, SW-German Molasse Basin Ingrid Stober Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT, Institute of Applied Geosciences, Adenauerring 20b, D-76131 Karlsruhe, Germany [email protected] Keywords: Karstified limestone aquifer, deep seated fluids, hydrochemistry, geothermal energy ABSTRACT The Upper Jurassic (Malm) limestone and the middle Triassic Muschelkalk limestone are the major thermal aquifers in the southwest German alpine foreland. The aquifers are of interest for production of geothermal energy and for balneological purposes. The hydrochemical properties of the two aquifers differ in several aspects. The total amounts of dissolved solids (TDS) are much higher within the Upper Muschelkalk aquifer than within the Upper Jurassic. Water composition data reflect the origin and hydrochemical evolution of deep water. Rocks and their minerals control the chemical signature of the water. With increasing depth, the total of dissolved solids increases. In both aquifers, the water evolve to a NaCl-dominated fluid regardless of the aquifer rock. The salinity of the aquifers has different sources. In the case of the Upper Muschelkalk it is linked to deep circulation-systems, while the hydrochemical properties in the Upper Jurassic developed due to changing overburden and hydraulic potential. 1. INTRODUCTION The deep Upper Jurassic carbonates are the most important reservoir rocks for hydrothermal energy use in Southern Germany. Especially in the Munich area of Bavaria (Germany), several geothermal power plants and district heating systems were installed since 2007. In Baden-Württemberg (SW-Germany), the Upper Jurassic thermal aquifer is of shallower depth (Fig.1), therefore colder and the thermal water is rather used for balneological purposes including heating of nearby buildings. -
Palaeomagnetic Poles from the Germanic Basin (Winterswijk, the Netherlands) Lars P
van Hinsbergen et al. Journal of Palaeogeography (2019) 8:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s42501-019-0046-2 Journal of Palaeogeography ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Triassic (Anisian and Rhaetian) palaeomagnetic poles from the Germanic Basin (Winterswijk, the Netherlands) Lars P. P. van Hinsbergen1, Douwe J. J. van Hinsbergen2*, Cor G. Langereis2, Mark J. Dekkers2, Bas Zanderink2,3 and Martijn H. L. Deenen2 Abstract In this paper, we provide two new Triassic palaeomagnetic poles from Winterswijk, the Netherlands, in the stable interior of the Eurasian plate. They were respectively collected from the Anisian (~ 247–242 Ma) red marly limestones of the sedimentary transition of the Buntsandstein Formation to the dark grey limestones of the basal Muschelkalk Formation, and from the Rhaetian (~ 208–201 Ma) shallow marine claystones that unconformably overlie the Muschelkalk Formation. The magnetization is carried by hematite or magnetite in the Anisian limestones, and iron sulfides and magnetite in the Rhaetian sedimentary rocks, revealing for both a large normal polarity overprint with a recent (geocentric axial dipole field) direction at the present latitude of the locality. Alternating field and thermal demagnetization occasionally reveal a stable magnetization decaying towards the origin, interpreted as the Characteristic Remanent Magnetization. Where we find a pervasive (normal polarity) overprint, we can often still determine well-defined great-circle solutions. Our interpreted palaeomagnetic poles include the great-circle solutions. The Anisian magnetic pole has declination D ± ΔDx =210.8±3.0°, inclination I±ΔIx = − 26.7 ± 4.9°, with a latitude, longitude of 45.0°, 142.0° respectively, K = 43.9, A95 =2.9°, N = 56. -

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Carbonate buildups are well developed in the Triassic Upper Muschelkalk of eastern Spain in the La Riba Unit, but they are completely dolomitised. These mud-mounds with reefal caps have well-developed fibrous and botry- oidal marine cements which were probably high-Mg calcite and aragonite originally. The dolomite is fabric retentive indicating an early origin, but the ␦18O values are quite negative (average -3.‰), interpreted as indicat- ing recrystallisation during shallow burial, but without fabric destruction. -

Ríos Rosas 23, 28003 Madrid, Spain Elsevier use only: Received date here; revised date here; accepted date here Abstract As a part and continuation of the work that is being done under the GeoCapacity Project, Spanish Geological Survey (IGME) has developed a selection of CO2 storages in the great sedimentary basins of Spain. This presentation is a result of these studies in the Tagus River Basin, including the two zones in which this basin is traditionally divided in geological publications: Intermediate Depression and Madrid Basin. Using information from hydrocarbon exploration campaigns, mostly seismic and borehole logging, as a starting point, storage- seal pairs have been identified, attending to different criteria, such as depth, height, porosity or salinity of the formation water. Through the analysis of these parameters two geological formations have been selected as the most promising: Buntsandstein sandstone Formation, with a primary seal in Röt clays and a secondary seal in Keuper clays, and Utrillas sandstone Formation (Lower Cretaceous) with a seal in the Superior Evaporitical Formation (Upper Cretaceous). On the other hand, as a special case study of the GeoCapacity Project, a detailed study of a selected structure is being carried out in the Tagus River Basin, about 70 Km to the South East from Madrid. -

G Netherlands Journal of Geosciences — Geologie en Mijnbouw | 84 - 4 | 389 - 401 | 2005 Constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Central European Basin System revealed by seismic reflection profiles from Northern Germany ; S. Mazur* & M. Scheck-Wenderoth GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Telegrafenberg, D-14473 Potsdam, Germany. * Corresponding author. Present address: S. Mazur, Institute of Geological Sciences, University of Wroclaw, PI. M. Borna 9, 50-204 Wroclaw, Poland. Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: October 2004; accepted: October 2005 Abstract A selection of reflection-seismic lines from the southern part of the Central European Basin System and its southern margin were used to establish the spectrum of extensional and compressional deformation structures and to calibrate the timing of these events. The lines are arranged in a N-S and an E-W transect running across the Pompeckj Block and the Lower Saxony Basin in Northern Germany. The structural record provided by the seismic data points to an interplay between far-field horizontal stresses and vertical movements of the basin floor, the latter only weakly correlated with the development of seismic-scale tectonic structures. A detailed seismo-stratigraphic analysis indicates that Late Triassic-Jurassic extension has been the principal control on the structure of the E-W profile, whereas the N-S profile is dominated by compressional structures associated with Late Cretaceous inversion. Overprint effects of extension and inversion tectonics can be classified among a few distinct tectonic events accompanied by movements of the Upper Permian salt: firstly, an episode of subsidence and diapiric rise in the Keuper; secondly, a clear Jurassic-to-Early Cretaceous extension recorded by normal faulting and differential subsidence.
