  • Morphology and Developmental Traits of the Trilobite Changaspis Elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China
    Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China GUANG-YING DU, JIN PENG, DE-ZHI WANG, QIU-JUN WANG, YI-FAN WANG, and HUI ZHANG Du, G.-Y., Peng, J., Wang, D.-Z., Wang, Q.-J., Wang, Y.-F., and Zhang, H. 2019. Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (4): 797–813. The morphology and ontogeny of the trilobite Changaspis elongata based on 216 specimens collected from the Lazizhai section of the Balang Formation (Stage 4, Series 2 of the Cambrian) in Guizhou Province, South China are described. The relatively continuous ontogenetic series reveals morphological changes, and shows that the species has seventeen thoracic segments in the holaspid period, instead of the sixteen as previously suggested. The development of the pygid- ial segments shows that their number gradually decreases during ontogeny. A new dataset of well-preserved specimens offers a unique opportunity to investigate developmental traits after segment addition is completed. The ontogenetic size progressions for the lengths of cephalon and trunk show overall compliance with Dyar’s rule. As a result of different average growth rates for the lengths of cephalon, trunk and pygidium, the length of the thorax relative to the body shows a gradually increasing trend; however, the cephalon and pygidium follow the opposite trend. Morphometric analysis across fourteen post-embryonic stages reveals growth gradients with increasing values for each thoracic segment from anterior to posterior. The reconstruction of the development traits shows visualization of the changes in relative growth and segmentation for the different body parts.

  • Conodonts in Ordovician Biostratigraphy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Archivio istituzionale della ricerca - Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia 1 Conodonts in Ordovician biostratigraphy STIG M. BERGSTRÖM AND ANNALISA FERRETTI Conodonts in Ordovician biostratigraphy The long time interval after Pander’s (1856) original conodont study can in terms of Ordovician conodont biostratigraphic research be subdivided into three periods, namely the Pioneer Period (1856-1955), the Transition Period (1955-1971), and the Modern Period (1971-Recent). During the pre-1920s, the few published conodont investigations were restricted to Europe and North America and were not concerned about the potential use of conodonts as guide fossils. Although primarily of taxonomic nature, the pioneer studies by Branson & Mehl, Stauffer, and Furnish during the 1930s represent the beginning of the use of conodonts in Ordovician biostratigraphy. However, no formal zones were introduced until Lindström (1955) proposed four conodont zones in the Lower Ordovician of Sweden, which marks the end of the Pioneer Period. Because Lindström’s zone classification was not followed by similar work outside Baltoscandia, the time interval up to the late 1960s can be regarded as a Transition Period. A milestone symposium volume, entitled ‘Conodont Biostratigraphy’ and published in 1971, 2 summarized much new information on Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy and is taken as the beginning of the Modern Period of Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy. In this volume, the Baltoscandic Ordovician was subdivided into named conodont zones whereas the North American Ordovician succession was classified into a series of lettered or numbered Faunas. Although most of the latter did not receive zone names until 1984, this classification has been used widely in North America.

The Ordovician BillingenNolkhov boundary interval (Arenig) at Lava River, northwestern Russia. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift,Vol. 81, pp. 161-168. Trondheim 200 l. ISSN 0029-196X. A detailed study of the conodont distribution within the condensed carbonate beds around the boundary of Billingen and Volkhov Stages (Lower Ordovician, Arenig) in northwestern Russia confirms the presence of a continuous succession of conodont biownes recognized in contempora­ neous sequences in Scandinavia. The Baltoniodus triangularis and Microzarkodina sp. A zones are reported for the first time from East Baltica, where carbonates of this interval underwent extensive bioturbation and are characterized by a number of closely spaced and distinctive glauconi­ tic hardground surfaces. It has been revealed that the distribution of conodont elements around the hardground surfaces is strongly affected by bioturbation.

Ovatoryctocara granulata occurs near the base of the Ovatoryctocara Zone and ranges up into the lower portion of the Kounamkites Zone in the Siberian Platform. O. granulata also appears in southeastern Guizhou, South China, but O. granulata in northern Greenland may represent an indefinite species. Specimens of Ovatoryctocara from Newfoundland cannot be identified to species level. Specimens includ- ing two cranidia and three pygidia from the lower part of the Aoxi Formation at Yaxi Village, Shizhu Town, eastern Tongren, north- eastern Guizhou, were previously assigned to O. granulata, which is now reassigned as a new species O. yaxiensis sp. nov. It bears the following main features: glabella club-shaped, slightly expanded medially, with four pairs of lateral furrows, of which S1–S3 are trian- gular pits, S4 is shallow, connecting with axial furrow; shorter palpebral lobe situated a little anterior to the midway of facial suture across the fixigenae, longer posterolateral area (exsag.); semielliptical pygidium consisting of seven axial rings with a terminal piece and with eight pairs of marginal tips giving a sawtooth-like shape of the lateral margins in dorsal view.

Furthermore, this China Craton representing intermediate- to deep-marine settings, includ- interval is marked by a prominent environmental and ecological expan- ing outer shelf (Jiuqunao-Wangjiaping, JW; note: Jiuqunao data were sion of arthropod- and echinoderm-rich biotas. Recent redox work has compiled from Och et al. [2016]), slope (Wuhe-Geyi, WG), and basinal suggested that this shift occurred during stable or decreasing marine (Zhalagou, ZLG) sections of the Yangtze Block (Fig. DR1 in the GSA oxygen levels, suggesting that these paleobiological and paleoecological Data Repository1). Linking our redox proxy analysis with detailed pale- transformations were decoupled from a redox control. We tested this ontological data from the lower-middle Cambrian of South China affords idea by conducting new paleoredox analyses on Age 2–Age 4 Cambrian the unique opportunity to investigate the association, if any, between outer shelf (Jiuqunao-Wangjiaping), slope (Wuhe-Geyi), and basinal ocean-redox evolution and metazoan diversification during the early to (Zhalagou) sections of the South China Craton.

The Huanghuachang section near Yichang, southern stage), the yet-to-be-named Second stage, the Darriwilian (fourth China meets the requirements of Global Stratotype Sec- stage), and the yet-to-be-named Fifth stage— and two global series— the Lower Ordovician Series and the Upper Ordovician Series—have tion and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Middle Ordovi- thus far been formally ratified by the ICS. Among the remaining cian Series and the yet-to-be-named third stage of the series or stage, one focus is on the investigation and selection of the Ordovician System (or lower stage of Middle Ordovician GSSP for the base of the Middle Ordovician Series, which also is the Series). The conodont succession at the section is com- base of the Third stage. Two biozone levels that appear to have poten- tial for reliable correlation of the base of the Middle Ordovician plete across the Lower to Middle Ordovician series Series have been suggested by the working group of the ISOS: the boundary and several excellent phylogenetic lineages of base of Tripodus laevis conodont Biozone/Isograptus v.
