Plates & Regions North American Perspectives II: Appalachians (Paleozoic) Processes in Structural Geology & Tectonics Ben van der Pluijm © WW Norton+Authors, unless noted otherwise 4/25/2016 4:33 PM We Discuss … North American Perspectives II: Appalachians (Paleozoic) • Opening and closing of Proto-Atlantic (Iapetus and Rheic Oceans) based on paleogeography and paleomagnetism. • Appalachians preserve Laurentian (N America) and Gondwanan (Africa) margins, separated by a belt with ocean remnants (ophiolites, arcs, islands/plateaus, subduction complexes), best preserved in the northern segment. • Southern Appalachians dominated by Late Paleozoic deformation from final ocean basin closure, resulting in large overthrusts that are exposed in tectonic windows. • Curved mountain belts (oroclines) and salients/recesses (irregular plate margins) are explored. • Paleogeographic reconstruction shows Appalachian history from late Precambrian ocean opening to closing.

  • Lines in Paradoxides Forchhammeri - Evidence of Lateral Inhibition
    Spatial organization of tubercles and terrace lines in Paradoxides forchhammeri - evidence of lateral inhibition 0YVIND HAMMER Hammer, 0. 2000. Spatial organization of tubercles and terrace lines in Paradoxides forchhammeri - evidence of lateral inhibition. -Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 45,3, 251-270. Spatial statistics on the positions of trilobite tubercles indicate the existence of a develop- mental spacing mechanism. Similar spacing between sensory bristles, due to lateral inhi- bition, is well known in insects, and the genetic basis for these patterns has been thor- oughly studied. Tubercles (granules) in the Middle Cambrian trilobite Paradoxides forchhammeri are spaced out, but otherwise randomly positioned. Assuming that similar genetic principles are in operation for the positioning of peripheral neuronal elements in all arthropods, it can even be speculated that genes with functions similar to Delta, Notch, achaete and scute were active in trilobite cuticular patterning. Also, in f? forchhammeri, terrace lines (ridges) seem to display transitions into granulation, indicating that these two types of structure share an underlying pattern formation mechanism. Key words : Trilobites, tubercles, terrace lines, pattern formation, evolution, Notch. 0yvind Hammer [[email protected]],Paleontological Museum, University of Oslo, Sars gt. 1, 0562 Oslo, Norway. Introduction Trilobite tubercles (Starrmer 1980; Wilmot 1991; Whittington 1997) are cuticular structures that may have formed in connection with sensory devices such as setae or other mechano- or chemoreceptors. As such, they may be compared with sensilla in the cuticles of other arthropods (Starrmer 1980). In particular, the molecular basis for the development of spaced bristles in Drosophila has been the subject of extensive re- search (reviewed in Simpson et al.

Ebbestad2 & Bjørn Funke3 1Rennesveien 14, N–4513 Mandal, Norway. 2Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 16, SE–752 36 Uppsala, Sweden. 3Gjelleråsveien 10, N–1481 Hagan, Norway. E-mail corresponding author (Magne Høyberget): [email protected] The olenellid trilobite Holmia cf. mobergi, known from a single cephalon in the upper lower Cambrian strata from a river section in Flagstadelva, Hamar, has played a significant stratigraphic role in interpreting the lower Cambrian informal Series 2, Stage 3 in the Mjøsa area, Norway, since its discovery in the early 1950s. It was considered one of the oldest trilobite taxa in the lower Cambrian of Scandinavia, but the stratigraphic level and biozonation of the cephalon were problematic and a matter of discussion for decades. Moreover, organic-walled microfossil biostratigraphy questioned the supposed age of the trilobite. New specimens of this taxon collected from the type locality show that the species occurs at a different stratigraphic level than first reported, prompting a new description of the species and a re-evaluation of the taxon’s biostratigraphic significance. Holmia cf. mobergi is compared with new and well-preserved topotype material of Holmia inusitata, a very rare taxon hitherto known from one single outcrop in an autochthonous setting in Norway.

  • Th TRILO the Back to the Past Museum Guide to TRILO BITES
    With regard to human interest in fossils, trilobites may rank second only to dinosaurs. Having studied trilobites most of my life, the English version of The Back to the Past Museum Guide to TRILOBITES by Enrico Bonino and Carlo Kier is a pleasant treat. I am captivated by the abundant color images of more than 600 diverse species of trilobites, mostly from the authors’ own collections. Carlo Kier The Back to the Past Museum Guide to Specimens amply represent famous trilobite localities around the world and typify forms from most of the Enrico Bonino Enrico 250-million-year history of trilobites. Numerous specimens are masterpieces of modern professional preparation. Richard A. Robison Professor Emeritus University of Kansas TRILOBITES Enrico Bonino was born in the Province of Bergamo in 1966 and received his degree in Geology from the Depart- ment of Earth Sciences at the University of Genoa. He currently lives in Belgium where he works as a cartographer specialized in the use of satellite imaging and geographic information systems (GIS). His proficiency in the use of digital-image processing, a healthy dose of artistic talent, and a good knowledge of desktop publishing software have provided him with the skills he needed to create graphics, including dozens of posters and illustrations, for all of the displays at the Back to the Past Museum in Cancún. In addition to his passion for trilobites, Enrico is particularly inter- TRILOBITES ested in the life forms that developed during the Precambrian. Carlo Kier was born in Milan in 1961.

Bjørn Ander­ sen in 1949 at Ritland, Hjelmeland district, Rogaland County. The fossils occur in autochthonous dark shale, and belong to the Paradoxides oelandicus stage (Early Middle Cambrian) . Trilobites (including Ptychoparia anderseni sp. n.) , brachiopods, hyolithids, sponge needles, and problematica (including archaeocyathids?) have been collected. The absence of this stage in the autochthonous series in the Oslo region, as well as in the Swedish areas Vastengotland and Scania, suggests a land mass in these areas in P. oelandicus time, bordered to the north by the Caledonian geosyncline, and to the east by a shallow sea.
