  • 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.

  • 1 Revision 2 1 K-Bentonites
    1 Revision 2 2 K-Bentonites: A Review 3 Warren D. Huff 4 Department of Geology, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH 45221 USA 5 Email: [email protected] 6 Keywords: K-bentonite, bentonite, tephra, explosive volcanism, volcanic ash 7 Abstract 8 Pyroclastic material in the form of altered volcanic ash or tephra has been reported and described 9 from one or more stratigraphic units from the Proterozoic to the Tertiary. This altered tephra, 10 variously called bentonite or K-bentonite or tonstein depending on the degree of alteration and 11 chemical composition, is often linked to large explosive volcanic eruptions that have occurred 12 repeatedly in the past. K-bentonite and bentonite layers are the key components of a larger group of 13 altered tephras that are useful for stratigraphic correlation and for interpreting the geodynamic 14 evolution of our planet. Bentonites generally form by diagenetic or hydrothermal alteration under 15 the influence of fluids with high Mg content and that leach alkali elements. Smectite composition is 16 partly controlled by parent rock chemistry. Studies have shown that K-bentonites often display 17 variations in layer charge and mixed-layer clay ratios and that these correlate with physical 18 properties and diagenetic history. The following is a review of known K-bentonite and related 19 occurrences of altered tephra throughout the time scale from Precambrian to Cenozoic. 20 Introduction 21 Volcanic eruptions are often, although by no means always, associated with a profuse output 22 of fine pyroclastic material, tephra. Tephra is a term used to describe all of the solid material 23 produced from a volcano during an eruption (Thorarinsson, 1944).

Brisbane. ISSN0079-8835. Aconsolidated list of available generic names introduced since the beginning of the binomial nomenclature system for trilobites is presented for the first time. Each entry is accompanied by the author and date of availability, by the name of the type species, by a lithostratigraphic or biostratigraphic and geographic reference for the type species, by a family assignment and by an age indication of the type species at the Period level (e.g. MCAM, LDEV). A second listing of these names is taxonomically arranged in families with the families listed alphabetically, higher level classification being outside the scope of this work. We also provide a list of names that have apparently been applied to trilobites but which remain nomina nuda within the ICZN definition. Peter A.

    CONODONTS OF THE MOJCZA LIMESTONE JERZY DZIK Dzik, J. 1994. Conodonts of the M6jcza Limestone. -In: J. Dzik, E. Olemp ska, and A. Pisera 1994. Ordovician carbonate platform ecosystem of the Holy Cross Moun­ tains. Palaeontologia Polonica 53, 43-128. The Ordovician organodetrital limestones and marls studied in outcrops at M6jcza and Miedzygorz, Holy Cross Mts, Poland, contains a record of the evolution of local conodont faunas from the latest Arenig (Early Kundan, Lenodus variabilis Zone) to the Ashgill (Amorphognathus ordovicicus Zone), with a single larger hiatus corre­ sponding to the subzones from Eop/acognathus pseudop/anu s to E. reclinatu s. The conodont fauna is Baltic in general appearance but cold water genera , like Sagitto­ dontina, Scabbardella, and Hamarodus, as well as those of Welsh or Chinese af­ finities, like Comp/exodus, Phragmodus, and Rhodesognathu s are dominant in par­ ticular parts of the section while others common in the Baltic region, like Periodon , Eop/acognathus, and Sca/pellodus are extremely rare. Most of the lineages continue to occur throughout most of the section enabling quantitative studies on their phyletic evolut ion. Apparatuses of sixty seven species of thirty six genera are described and illustrated. Phyletic evolution of Ba/toniodus, Amorphognathu s, Comp/exodus, and Pygodus is biometrically documented. Element s of apparatu ses are homolog ized and the standard notation system is applied to all of them. Acodontidae fam. n., Drepa­ nodus kie/censis sp. n., and D. santacrucensis sp. n. are proposed .

  • A New Species of the Conodont Genus Siphonodella Branson & Mehl
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2017, 66, 4, 188–192 https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2017.15 A new species of the conodont genus Siphonodella Branson & Mehl (late Tournaisian) Andrey V. Zhuravlev Institute of Geology Komi SC, UrB RAS, Pervomayskaya 54, 167000 Syktyvkar, Russia; [email protected] Received 3 April 2017, accepted 6 June 2017, available online 16 October 2017 Abstract. A new upper Tournaisian (Lower Carboniferous) siphonodellid conodont species Siphonodella carinata n. sp. is described. The material comes from the shallow-water carbonate sediments of the Pechora Swell (Timan-Pechora region or NE of European Russia). The co-occurrence of conodonts Hindeodus cristulus (Youngquist & Miller), Bispathodus stabilis (Branson & Mehl) Morphotype 1, Polygnathus longiposticus Branson & Mehl and Pseudopolygnathus nodomarginatus (Branson) suggests the late Tournaisian (Lower Siphonodella crenulata Zone) age of the deposits. Morphologically the new species is similar to Siphonodella semichatovae Kononova & Lipnjagov and S. ludmilae Zhuravlev & Plotitsyn, but differs in possessing three rostral ridges at the late stages of ontogeny and Class III symmetry. The presence of the shallow-water siphonodellids Siphonodella bella Kononova & Migdisova and S. quasinuda Gagiev, Kononova & Pazuhin in the upper part of the Tournaisian is detected for the first time. Key words: Conodonta, new species, Siphonodella carinata n. sp., Lower Carboniferous, Tournaisian. INTRODUCTION platform and a wide pseudokeel or depressed keel at the aboral side of Pa elements. Traditionally species of the genus Siphonodella are used The shallow-water siphonodellids of the Chinese for biostratigraphy of the lower part of the Tournaisian branch appeared in the earliest Tournaisian and ranged (Sandberg et al. 1978; Ji 1985; Ji & Ziegler 1992; up to the late Tournaisian (Ji & Ziegler 1992).

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.
