  • 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

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.

Biographical Note Possibly a group of three brothers—G. Leiber, V. Erich Leiber, and R. Leiber— participated in the German youth movement during the 1920s and 1930s. The probable maker of the photo album, Erich Leiber, was probably born before 1915 in north- western Germany, most likely in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. His early experiences with the youth movement appear to have been in conjunction with school outings and Christian Union for Young Men (CVJM) in Austria. He also travelled to Sweden in 1928, but most of his travels are concentrated in northwestern Germany. Later in 1931 he became an active member in a conservative organization, possibly the Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft St. Georg,1 participating in outings to nationalistic locations such as the Hermann Monument in the Teutoburg Forest and to the Naval Academy at Mürwik in Kiel. In 1933 Erich Leiber joined the SA and became a youth leader or liaison for a Hitler Youth unit while still maintaining a connection to a group called Team Yorck, a probable extension of prior youth movement associates. After 1935 Erich’s travels seem reduced to a small group of male friends, ending with an Easter trip along the Rhine River in 1938.

  • The Weather in Germany in Spring 2021
    Press Release The weather in Germany – Spring 2021 Coldest spring since 2013 – but average sunshine Offenbach, 31 May 2021 – Spring 2021 was much too cool. Thus, the series of excessively warm springs in Germany, which had started in 2013, came to an end. The cool north winds in April and the inflow of fresh maritime air in May, in particular, kept average temperatures low. Summery weather only made a brief appearance. Whereas the amount of precipitation was less than the long-term average, the sunshine duration was slightly higher than normal. This is the summary announced by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) after an initial analysis of the observations from its approximately 2,000 measuring stations. A mild March was followed by a very cool April and May At 7.2 degrees Celsius (°C), the average temperature in spring 2021 was 0.5 degrees lower than the international reference value 1961–1990. Compared to the current 1991–2020 reference period, the deviation was -1.7 degrees. The factors that determined the negative deviation were the coldest April for 40 years and the cool May. Before this, March had brought fluctuating temperatures. Germany only enjoyed a brief high summer intermezzo for Mother's Day on 9 May. During this time, Waghäusel-Kirrlach, to the south-west of Heidelberg, registered the first hot day of 2021 (> 30 °C) with a temperature of 31.3 °C, which was also the hottest spring temperature nationwide. The lowest temperature was recorded on 6 April at Messstetten on the Swabian Alb (-13.6 °C). Little precipitation in the north-east in contrast to plenty of precipitation in the south per square metre (l/m²): at around 175 l/m2, it was only 93 per cent of the long-term average.

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.
