Palaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of the Middle Jurassic to Lowermost Cretaceous Agardhfjellet Formation (Bathonian–Ryazanian), Spitsbergen, Svalbard

Koevoets1, Øyvind Hammer1 & Crispin T.S. Little2 1Natural History Museum, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1172 Blindern, 0318 Oslo, Norway. 2School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom. E-mail corresponding author (Maayke J. Koevoets): [email protected] We describe the invertebrate assemblages in the Middle Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous of the Agardhfjellet Formation present in the DH2 rock-core material of Central Spitsbergen (Svalbard). Previous studies of the Agardhfjellet Formation do not accurately reflect the distribution of invertebrates throughout the unit as they were limited to sampling discontinuous intervals at outcrop. The rock-core material shows the benthic bivalve fauna to reflect dysoxic, but not anoxic environments for the Oxfordian–Lower Kimmeridgian interval with sporadic monospecific assemblages of epifaunal bivalves, and more favourable conditions in the Volgian, with major increases in abundance and diversity of Hartwellia sp. assemblages. Overall, the new information from cores shows that abundance, diversity and stratigraphic continuity of the fossil record in the Upper Jurassic of Spitsbergen are considerably higher than indicated in outcrop studies. The inferred life positions and feeding habits of the benthic fauna refine our understanding of the depositional environments of the Agardhfjellet Formation. The pattern of occurrence of the bivalve genera is correlated with published studies of Arctic localities in East Greenland and northern Siberia and shows similarities in palaeoecology with the former but not the latter. -

Rogov Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pyshevsky per. 7, Moscow, 119017 Russia email: russianjurassic@gmail. com Received January 19, 2010; in final form, March 3, 2010 Abstract—The stratigraphy of the Volgian in Spitzbergen is refined based on the new fossil collections. The lower Volgian is poorly characterized by ammonites being not subdivided into zones, and the only recognized stratigraphic unit within it are the Beds with Paravirgatites sp. in the upper part of the lower Volgian. The Pav lovia rugosa, Dorsoplanites ilovaiskii, Crendonites anguinus, and Praechetaites exoticus zones, the antiquus, erschovae, sachsi, sokolovi, laevigatus, and lambecki faunal horizons, and Beds with Laugeites cf. groenlandi cus are recognized for the first time in the middle Volgian of Spitzbergen. Two successive levels are identified in the upper Volgian Craspedites okensis Zone characterized by differing morphotypes of Craspedites okensis. The Craspedites taimyrense Zone is proposed instead of the Craspedites nodiger Zone. No ammonites of the terminal Volgian Chetaites chetae Zone have so far been found in Spitzbergen. New species of Epivirgatites sokolovi sp. nov., E. laevigatus sp. nov., Praechetaites erschovae sp. nov., and P. confusus sp. nov. are described. The diagnosis of the genus Praechetaites is expanded. Key words: Volgian, Spitzbergen, ammonites, zonal scale.

In order to help clarify this situation, the marine palynology of the 23 Tithonian (uppermost Jurassic) and the Berriasian and Valanginian (Lower Cretaceous) 24 strata exposed on the banks of the River Volga at Gorodishche and Kashpir, near 25 Ul’yanovsk, has been studied in detail. Over 100 dinoflagellate cyst species were 26 recovered, and their ranges used to compile a detailed Tithonian to Valanginian 27 palynostratigraphy for the Volga Basin. First and last appearance datums of key 28 dinoflagellate cyst taxa are used to define ages for unreliably dated strata in the Russian 29 successions by comparison with the stratigraphical ranges of the same taxa calibrated to 30 ammonite zones in Boreal northwest Europe. -
Paleontological Contributions
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PALEONTOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS May 15, 1970 Paper 47 SIGNIFICANCE OF SUTURES IN PHYLOGENY OF AMMONOIDEA JURGEN KULLMANN AND JOST WIEDMANN Universinit Tubingen, Germany ABSTRACT Because of their complex structure ammonoid sutures offer best possibilities for the recognition of homologies. Sutures comprise a set of individual elements, which may be changed during the course of ontogeny and phylogeny as a result of heterotopy, hetero- morphy, and heterochrony. By means of a morphogenetic symbol terminology, sutural formulas may be established which show the composition of adult sutures as well as their ontogenetic development. WEDEKIND ' S terminology system is preferred because it is the oldest and morphogenetically the most consequent, whereas RUZHENTSEV ' S system seems to be inadequate because of its usage of different symbols for homologous elements. WEDEKIND ' S system includes only five symbols: E (for external lobe), L (for lateral lobe), I (for internal lobe), A (for adventitious lobe), U (for umbilical lobe). Investigations on ontogenetic development show that all taxonomic groups of the entire superorder Ammonoidea can be compared one with another by means of their sutural development, expressed by their sutural formulas. Most of the higher and many of the lower taxa can be solely characterized and arranged in phylogenetic relationship by use of their sutural formulas. INTRODUCTION Today very few ammonoid workers doubt the (e.g., conch shape, sculpture, growth lines) rep- importance of sutures as indication of ammonoid resent less complicated structures; therefore, phylogeny. The considerable advances in our numerous homeomorphs restrict the usefulness of knowledge of ammonoid evolution during recent these features for phylogenetic investigations. -

The Upper Jurassic of Europe: Its Subdivision and Correlation
The Upper Jurassic of Europe: its subdivision and correlation Arnold Zeiss In the last 40 years, the stratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic of Europe has received much atten- tion and considerable revision; much of the impetus behind this endeavour has stemmed from the work of the International Subcommission on Jurassic Stratigraphy. The Upper Jurassic Series consists of three stages, the Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian and Tithonian which are further subdivided into substages, zones and subzones, primarily on the basis of ammonites. Regional variations between the Mediterranean, Submediterranean and Subboreal provinces are discussed and correlation possibilities indicated. The durations of the Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian and Tithonian Stages are reported to have been 5.3, 3.4 and 6.5 Ma, respectively. This review of the present status of Upper Jurassic stratigraphy aids identification of a num- ber of problems of subdivision and definition of Upper Jurassic stages; in particular these include correlation of the base of the Kimmeridgian and the top of the Tithonian between Submediterranean and Subboreal Europe. Although still primarily based on ammonite stratigraphy, subdivision of the Upper Jurassic is increasingly being refined by the incorporation of other fossil groups; these include both megafossils, such as aptychi, belemnites, bivalves, gastropods, brachiopods, echino- derms, corals, sponges and vertebrates, and microfossils such as foraminifera, radiolaria, ciliata, ostracodes, dinoflagellates, calcareous nannofossils, charophyaceae, dasycladaceae, spores and pollen. Important future developments will depend on the detailed integration of these disparate biostratigraphic data and their precise combination with the abundant new data from sequence stratigraphy, utilising the high degree of stratigraphic resolution offered by certain groups of fos- sils. -
