  • Alleged Cnidarian Sphenothallus in the Late Ordovician of Baltica, Its Mineral Composition and Microstructure
    Alleged cnidarian Sphenothallus in the Late Ordovician of Baltica, its mineral composition and microstructure OLEV VINN and KALLE KIRSIMÄE Vinn, O. and Kirsimäe, K. 2015. Alleged cnidarian Sphenothallus in the Late Ordovician of Baltica, its mineral compo- sition and microstructure. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 60 (4): 1001–1008. Sphenothallus is a problematic fossil with possible cnidarian affinities. Two species of Sphenothallus, S. aff. longissimus and S. kukersianus, occur in the normal marine sediments of the Late Ordovician of Estonia. S. longissimus is more common than S. kukersianus and has a range from early Sandbian to middle Katian. Sphenothallus had a wide paleo- biogeographic distribution in the Late Ordovician. The tubes of Sphenothallus are composed of lamellae with a homo- geneous microstructure. The homogeneous microstructure could represent a diagenetic fabric, based on the similarity to diagenetic structures in Torellella (Cnidaria?, Hyolithelminthes). Tubes of Sphenothallus have an apatitic composition, but one tube contains lamellae of diagenetic calcite within the apatitic structure. Sphenothallus presumably had origi- nally biomineralized apatitic tubes. Different lattice parameters of the apatite indicate that biomineralization systems of phosphatic cnidarians Sphenothallus and Conularia sp. may have been different. Key words: Cnidaria?, Sphenothallus, apatite, microstructure, Ordovician, Sandbian, Katian, Estonia.

The pomp and ceremony! The emotion! I wondered why all of these people were so invested just because it was a new fossil species of something related to us in the very recent past. What about all of the other new fossil species that are discovered every day? I can’t imagine an international media frenzy, led by deans and vice chancellors amidst a backdrop of flags and flashbulbs, over a new species of ammonite. Most other fossil discoveries and publications of taxonomy are not met with such fanfare. The Annual Meeting is a time for sharing these discoveries, many of which will not bring the scientists involved international fame, but will advance our science and push the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding.

INTRODUCTION Carbonates comprise only 20–25% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks (Boggs, 2009). This fact is reflected in the relatively small number of ichnolo- gical studies of carbonates compared with siliciclastics, although other aspects (such as sedimentology or diagenesis) are roughly equally covered. Given the importance of carbonates as oil and gas reservoirs and aquifers (about 50% of the world’s total proven hydrocarbon reserves are held in carbonate reservoirs), the ichnology of carbonate sedimentary systems has much potential for future investigations. This chapter deals with the ichnology of shallow-marine carbonates, ranging from marginal-marine (peritidal) environments to the shelf.

  • Epibionts on Brachiopods from the Devonian Dundee Formation of Ohio
    EPIBIONTS ON BRACHIOPODS FROM THE DEVONIAN DUNDEE FORMATION OF OHIO Rituparna Bose A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December 2006 Committee: Margaret M. Yacobucci, Advisor Richard D. Hoare Don C. Steinker © 2006 Rituparna Bose All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Margaret M. Yacobucci, Advisor Epibionts seem to be more common in siliciclastic units than in carbonate units. To evaluate this difference, the paleontology of the Middle Devonian Dundee Formation has been explored. A total of 245 brachiopod specimens were collected from a fossiliferous horizon of the Dundee Formation exposed at Whitehouse Quarry and identified to the generic level. Brachiopod genera identified were Strophodonta, Rhipidomella, Rhynchotrema, Atrypa, and Mucrospirifer. All the brachiopod shells were examined under a stereomicroscope for evidence of epibionts, and preferred host taxa were determined. Epibionts are absent on all the brachiopod shells except some Rhipidomella shells. Further examination of these Rhipidomella shells under 100x magnification showed evidence of biotic interactions in 21 out of 48 specimens. Large boreholes were produced by worm borers, scars were left on a few specimens by worms, branching grooves were the traces of soft-bodied ctenostome bryozoans, and sheet-like encrustation was produced by an indeterminate group of bryozoans. Ctenostome bryozoans had a commensal relationship with their host while a few worms had a parasitic relation with the host. While one might expect encrustation on hardgrounds within this carbonate unit, field work has determined that much of the Dundee Formation was extensively bioturbated, implying a soft substrate.

  • Implications for the Cretaceous-Paleocene Boundary Event in Shallow Platform Environments and Correlation to the Deep Sea
    OLD G The Geological Society of America Special Paper 544 OPEN ACCESS Cretaceous-Paleocene transition along a rocky carbonate shore: Implications for the Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary event in shallow platform environments and correlation to the deep sea Diethard Sanders* Institute of Geology, Faculty of Geo- and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Innsbruck, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria Gerta Keller Department of Geosciences, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA Felix Schlagintweit Lerchenauerstrasse 167, D-80935 Munich, Germany Martin Studeny† Institute of Geology, Faculty of Geo- and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Innsbruck, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria ABSTRACT The Cretaceous-Paleocene (K/P) boundary intervals are rarely preserved in suc- cessions of shallow-water limestones. Here, we describe a shallow rocky shore on the active orogenic wedge of the eastern Alps (Austria) fringed by a carbonate plat- form that was largely cannibalized by erosion. We compared this succession with similar nearshore environments globally, as well as the deep sea, to gain a better understanding of the environmental response to the K/P boundary transition. In the eastern Alps, Cretaceous and Paleocene lithofacies across the K/P boundary transi- tion are separated by a hardground that formed during subaerial exposure and that terminates Upper Maastrichtian limestone with planktic foraminiferal assemblages deposited at neritic depth during zone CF3 (ca. 66.500 Ma). Above the hardground, there are beachrocks with early Danian zone P1a(1) assemblages, which indicate the hardground spans about ~600 k.y. of nondeposition and/or erosion. During the early Danian, the marine transgressive fringe fluctuated between “shoreface to emersion” environments, depositing limestones rich in bryozoans, rhynchonellids, coralline algae, and rare planktic foraminifera along with abraded, bored, and/or encrusted clasts eroded from older rocks.

  • A Sparsely Encrusted Hardground with Abundant Trypanites Borings from the Llandovery of the Velise River, Western Estonia (Baltica)
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2016, 65, 1, 19–26 doi: 10.3176/earth.2016.01 A sparsely encrusted hardground with abundant Trypanites borings from the Llandovery of the Velise River, western Estonia (Baltica) Olev Vinna and Ursula Toomb a Department of Geology, University of Tartu, Ravila 14A, 50411 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected] b Institute of Geology at Tallinn University of Technology, Ehitajate tee 5, 19086 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] Received 11 February 2015, accepted 25 June 2015 Abstract. The Päärdu hardground from the Telychian (Rumba Formation) of western Estonia is sparsely encrusted (0.4% of the studied surface) by possible tabulate corals, sheet-like bryozoans and discoidal echinoderm holdfasts. Both the upper and cryptic sides of the hardground are intensely bioeroded by Trypanites borings. The taxonomic composition of the Päärdu hardground association is rather different from the characteristic Silurian association in being dominated by tabulate corals, while bryozoans and echinoderms played a minor role in the association. The Päärdu hardground is more sparsely encrusted than common for the Late Ordovician and Silurian hardgrounds, but this may be a characteristic feature of the hardgrounds of Baltica. The Päärdu hardground is important among the Silurian hardgrounds because it has unusually low encrustation combined with high bioerosion. Key words: bioerosion, Trypanites, hardgrounds, tabulates, bryozoans, echinoderms. INTRODUCTION Only seven detailed studies are known on Silurian hardground communities. Halleck (1973) described Carbonate hardgrounds are surfaces of carbonate layers hardground encrusting crinoids, corals and brachiopods that have been synsedimentarily cemented and exposed from the Wenlock of Indiana.
