The list of protected objects of nature heritage of Republic of Lithuania currently contains 154 geological, 34 hydrogeological, 32 geomorphological and 22 hydrographical sites, totaly 242 objects of inanimate nature. However, the collection of geological information, investigations of particular geological and geomorphological features is the main duty of geoscientists. The Data Base of GEOTOPES, maintained at Lithuanian Geological Survey currently (2008-05) contains data on 431 geotope. The geotopes include the above mentioned sites protected by law and other sites, with particular or very characteristic geological-geomorphological features, that generaly are called geotopes. The information about geotopes includes much of all available geological, historical, archaelogical data, that are accessible via internet. Protected areas (green) and location of Geotopes (dots) in Lithuania The number of information stands, geological trails, special publications is constantly increasing, witnessing growing understanding of value of geological heritage and its integration in tourism and economical development plans. Geological heritage also serves for development international cooperation especially in cross-border areas (e.g. Polish-Lithuanian project GAJA). 5 CONFERENCE MATERIALS GEOLOGICAL HERITAGE – BRIDGE JOINING COUNTRIES International Conference GEODIVERSITY AND GEOLOGICAL HERITAGE – POTENTIAL FOR GEOTOURISM OF NORTHERN POLAND, LITHUANIA, LATVIA AND ESTONIA Jonas Satkūnas, Marek Graniczny, Szymon Uscinowicz, Grazyna Miotk-Szpiganowicz, Dace Ozola, Uldis Nulle, Krista Täht-Kok Increasing number of geoparks (c.f.

In this context the regional geodiversity is an essential framework for identification of most valuable features of geological heritage and better development of research, geotourism and related activities (Wimbledon et al., 1998; Słomka, 2008).

Geodiversity of the area can be generally characterized by several criteria. From the point of view of stratigraphy, the geosites of the area display sedimentary history of all geological periods starting with Palaeozoic (e.g. Cambrian-Devonian geosites of Estonia and Latvia, Devonian – Neogene geosites of Lithuania, Neogene and Pleistocene and Holocene geosites in Poland) and ending with Holocene. Especially rich is geodiversity of Quaternary period containing number of stratigraphic geosites (e.g. lower boundary of Quaternary system in Lithuania, stratotypes of all known ice free intervals – interglacials and interstadials, scattered in all region), variety of glacial and postglacial landforms (drumlins, eskers, kames, boulder fields and giant single erratics, terminal moraines, thermokarstic holes, subglacial channel valleys and erosional river valleys etc.) of marginal, insular and other formations. Number of impressive geosites deals with: coastal processes – e.g. Estonian glint, coastal cliffs of Poland, Kaliningrad region, accumulative spits (Vistula, Hel, etc.) sometimes with high moving dunes (Curonian and Leba), karstic phenomena (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), river erosion valleys and waterfalls, meteoritic craters (Estonia) and other elements of geodiversity. Lists of the most representative geosites of nations of Northern Europe are under compilation and are accessible through the ProGEO ( http://www.progeo.se/ ) and other websites, publications. 6 International Conference GEOLOGICAL HERITAGE – BRIDGE JOINING COUNTRIES CONFERENCE MATERIALS Marginal moraines.

After the site was mapped in 2001, these two ichnotaxa were considered synonyms of Eubrontes and Anomoepus, respectively, the latter designation being the first identification of this ichnogenus in China. The assemblage indicates a typical Jurassic ichnofauna. The present study reinvestigates the site in the light of the purported new ichnospecies Chuanchengpus shenglingensis that was introduced in 2012.

    A couple of partially-feathered creatures about the The Outside Story size of a turkey pop out of a stand of ferns. By the water you spot a flock of bigger animals, lean and predatory, catching fish. And then an even bigger pair of animals, each longer than a car, with ostentatious crests on their heads, stalk out of the heat haze. The fish-catchers dart aside, but the new pair have just come to drink. We can only speculate what a walk through Jurassic New England would be like, but the fossil record leaves many hints. According to Matthew Inabinett, one of the Beneski Museum of Natural History’s senior docents and a student of vertebrate paleontology, dinosaur footprints found in the sedimentary rock of the Connecticut Valley reveal much about these animals and their environment. At the time, the land that we know as New England was further south, close to where Cuba is now. A system of rift basins that cradled lakes ran right through our region, from North Carolina to Nova Scotia. As reliable sources of water, with plants for the herbivores and fish for the carnivores, the lakes would have been havens of life. While most of the fossil footprints found in New England so far are in the lower Connecticut Valley, Dinosaur Tracks they provide a window into a world that extended throughout the region. According to Inabinett, the By: Rachel Marie Sargent tracks generally fall into four groupings. He explained that these names are for the tracks, not Imagine taking a walk through a part of New the dinosaurs that made them, since, “it’s very England you’ve never seen—how it was 190 million difficult, if not impossible, to match a footprint to a years ago.

  • Stegosaurian Footprints from the Morrison Formation of Utah and Their Implications for Interpreting Other Ornithischian Tracks Gerard D
    Stegosaurian footprints from the Morrison Formation of Utah and their implications for interpreting other ornithischian tracks Gerard D. Gierliński and Karol Sabath Polish Geological Institute, Rakowiecka 4, 00-975 Warsaw, Poland. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT - The supposed stegosaurian track Deltapodus Whyte & Romano, 1994 (Middle Jurassic of England) is sauro- pod-like, elongate and plantigrade, but many blunt-toed, digitigrade, large ornithopod-like footprints (including pedal print cast associated with the manus of Stegopodus Lockley & Hunt, 1998) from the Upper Jurassic of Utah, better fit the stego- saurian foot pattern. The Morrison Formation of Utah yielded other tracks fitting the dryomorph (camptosaur) foot pattern (Dinehichnus Lockley et al., 1998) much better than Stegopodus. If the Stegopodus pedal specimen (we propose to shift the emphasis from the manus to the pes in the revised diagnosis of this ichnotaxon) and similar ichnites are proper stegosaur foot- prints, Deltapodus must have been left by another thyreophoran trackmaker. Other Deltapodus-like (possibly ankylosaurian) tracks include Navahopus Baird,1980 and Apulosauripus Nicosia et al., 1999. Heel-dominated, short-toed forms within the Navahopus-Deltapodus-Apulosauripus plexus differ from the gracile, relatively long-toed Tetrapodosaurus Sternberg, 1932, traditionally regarded as an ankylosaurian track. Thus, the original interpretation of the latter as a ceratopsian track might be correct, supporting early (Aptian) appearance of ceratopsians in North America. Isolated pedal ichnites from the Morrison Formation (with a single tentatively associated manus print, and another one from Poland) and the only known trackways with similar footprints (Upper Jurassic of Asturias, Spain) imply bipedal gait of their trackmakers. Thus, problems with stegosaur tracks possibly stem from the expectation of their quadrupedality.

It has a pro- portionally shorter digit III than grallatorid (theropod) tracks, but based on osteometric analysis, Anomoepus, like grallatorids, shows a relatively shorter digit III in larger specimens. Anomoepus is characteristically bi- pedal, but there are quadrupedal trackways and less common sitting traces. The ichnogenus is known from eastern and western North America, Europe, and southern Africa. On the basis of a detailed review of classic and new material, we recognize only the type ichnospecies Anomoepus scambus within eastern North America. Anomoepus is known from many hundreds of specimens, some with remarkable preservation, showing many hitherto unrecognized details of squa- mation and behavior. .

  • Annex 1, Proposal for Society Partisipation In
    Proposals for Society Participation in River Basin Management in Lithuania Jurate Morkvenaite-Paulauskiene Environemtal Club Zvejone 2015 Introduction Solutions and prevention for environmental problems are determined not only by perfect laws and optimal economic measures — what also important is a friendly public opinion along with relevant valuable attitude, awareness and active participation in the consideration and implementation of various levels of decision- making. The development of public environmental awareness is getting more and more important for realization of environmental policy and in pursuit of sustainable development in the broad sense, and public information and education becomes a fundamental assumption of change and civil activity. Environmental public awareness is a very important process in ensuring that the society and civil authorities are actively involved in the formation of environmental policy and decision-making. In order to encourage people’s understanding and responsibility for the environment, it is essential to spread information as widely and intensively as possible using attractive, easily accessible and acceptable means. Access to the relevant information is the basis for raising public awareness, providing more responsible attitude towards the environment, greater participation in the river basin district management process. Article 14 of Water Directive is intended for public information and consultation. The programme of measures determines the measures for water use and protection in order to achieve objectives in respect of water protection, set in the Article 22 and 23 of the Law on Water of the Republic of Lithuania. The Article 25 and 29 of the Law on Water of the Republic of Lithuania governs society’s active participation in forming, reviewing and updating the river basin district management plans and programmes of measures.
