A newly discovered fossil cephalopod jaw apparatus that may belong to Permian representatives of the Endocochlia is described. Permorhynchus dentatus n. gen. n. sp. is established on the basis of this ~ apparatus. The asymmetry of jaws in the Ectocochlia may be connected with the double function of the ventral jaw apparatus, and the well-developed, relatively large frontal plate of the ventral jaw should be regarded as a feature common to all representatives of ectocochlian cephalopods evolved from early Palaeozoic stock. Distinct features seen in the jaw apparatus of Upper Pcrmian cndocochlians include the pronounced beak form of both jaws and the presence of oblong wings on the ventral mandible. o Cephalopoda. jaw. operculum. aptychus, anaptychus, Permorhynchus n.gen.• evolution.

  • XLVI. Notes on the Age of the Limestones of South Devonshire
    [ 721 ] XLVI. Notes on the Age of the Limestones of South Devonshire. BY WILLIAM LONSDALE, P.G.S. [Read March 25, 1840.]* THE reasons which induced me to assume on zoological evidence, that the limestones of Southern Devon, between Dartmoor and the coast, would prove to be of the age of the old red sandstone, not having* been placed on record in a separate form, Mr. Murchison has begged me to lay before the Society a distinct notice of my claim to having been the first to propose the classifi­ cation recently put forth by Professor Sedgwick and himself; and in conse­ quence of an extension of those views to Belgium and the Boulonnais, Dr. Pitton has urged me to comply with the request. In the memoirsf in which Professor Sedgwick and Mr. Murchison announced the change in their classi­ fication of the older sedimentary strata of Devonshire and Cornwall, the clearest and amplest acknowledgements are made of my share in promoting the alteration; but as it is possible that some mistake may hereafter arise, re­ lative to the nature and limits of my suggestion, I conceive it is a duty to others as well as to myself to comply with the above request. I regret, how­ ever, that I cannot make this notice as satisfactory as I could wish, from the whole of the data not being accessible ; and I regret that my official duties have prevented me from bestowing upon it that time and thought and re­ search which ought to be evident in the shortest communications read to this Society.

    Sullivan, R.M. and Lucas, S.G., eds., 2016, Fossil Record 5. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 74. 179 AN INVENTORY OF TRILOBITES FROM NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AREAS MEGAN R. NORR¹, VINCENT L. SANTUCCI1 and JUSTIN S. TWEET2 1National Park Service. 1201 Eye Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20005; -email: [email protected]; 2Tweet Paleo-Consulting. 9149 79th St. S. Cottage Grove. MN 55016; Abstract—Trilobites represent an extinct group of Paleozoic marine invertebrate fossils that have great scientific interest and public appeal. Trilobites exhibit wide taxonomic diversity and are contained within nine orders of the Class Trilobita. A wealth of scientific literature exists regarding trilobites, their morphology, biostratigraphy, indicators of paleoenvironments, behavior, and other research themes. An inventory of National Park Service areas reveals that fossilized remains of trilobites are documented from within at least 33 NPS units, including Death Valley National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. More than 120 trilobite hototype specimens are known from National Park Service areas. INTRODUCTION Of the 262 National Park Service areas identified with paleontological resources, 33 of those units have documented trilobite fossils (Fig. 1). More than 120 holotype specimens of trilobites have been found within National Park Service (NPS) units. Once thriving during the Paleozoic Era (between ~520 and 250 million years ago) and becoming extinct at the end of the Permian Period, trilobites were prone to fossilization due to their hard exoskeletons and the sedimentary marine environments they inhabited. While parks such as Death Valley National Park and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve have reported a great abundance of fossilized trilobites, many other national parks also contain a diverse trilobite fauna.

  • Late Silurian Trilobite Palaeobiology And
    LATE SILURIAN TRILOBITE PALAEOBIOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY by ANDREW JAMES STOREY A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham February 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

A total of 15 families; 36 genera and 53 species are documented herein, including a new genus and seventeen new species; fourteen of which remain under open nomenclature. Most of the trilobites in the British late Silurian are restricted to the shelf, and predominantly occur in the Elton, Bringewood, Leintwardine, and Whitcliffe groups of Wales and the Welsh Borderland. The Elton to Whitcliffe groups represent a shallowing upwards sequence overall; each is characterised by a distinct lithofacies and fauna. The trilobites and brachiopods of the Coldwell Formation of the Lake District Basin are documented, and are comparable with faunas in the Swedish Colonus Shale and the Mottled Mudstones of North Wales. Ludlow trilobite associations, containing commonly co-occurring trilobite taxa, are defined for each palaeoenvironment.

  • Iii Silurian Fauna
    III SILURIAN FAUNA By AUGUST F. FOERSTE THE SILURIAN FAUNA OF KENTUCKY By AUGUST F. FOERSTE THE SOURCE AND AFFINITIES OF THE SILURIAN FAUNAS In prehistoric times the North American continent was invaded by oceanic faunas from various directions. The tilting of the continent toward the south permitted the invasion of oceanic faunas from the Gulf of Mexico, and tilting toward the east, permitted invasions from the North Atlantic. There have been invasions also from the Arctic and Pacific. Some of these invasions extended far inland. Some from the Gulf of Mexico spread northward along the Mississippi embayment as far as the southern part of Canada, and some from the North Atlantic reached Ohio and Kentucky. As far as known, none of the invasions from the Arctic or Pacific reached Kentucky. In most Silurian faunas, the brachiopod element predominates. Three of the southern invasions—the Brassfield, Osgood, and Waldron—are characterized by the abundance of bryozoans, in addition to the brachiopods. The Brassfield and Waldron contain also a considerable number of gastropods, pelecypods, cephalopods, and trilobites, all of which are relatively scarce in the Osgood and Louisville. In the Osgood, on the contrary, there are numerous cystids, though almost all of these were described originally under the single generic name Holocystites. The Waldron is characterized by the considerable variety of crinoids. In the Laurel and Louisville bryozoans are rare. The Laurel is now characterized by numerous species of crinoids, a considerable number of which show affinities with crinoids occurring in Gotland and England. Possibly these invaded the American continent from some North Atlantic source.
