  • Prepared in Cooperation with the Lllinois State Museum, Springfield
    Prepared in cooperation with the lllinois State Museum, Springfield Richard 1. Leary' and Hermann W. Pfefferkorn2 ABSTRACT The Spencer Farm Flora is a compression-impression flora of early Pennsylvanian age (Namurian B, or possibly Namurian C) from Brown County, west-central Illinois. The plant fossils occur in argillaceous siltstones and sand- stones of the Caseyville Formation that were deposited in a ravine eroded in Mississippian carbonate rocks. The plant-bearing beds are the oldest deposits of Pennsylva- nian age yet discovered in Illinois. They were formed be- fore extensive Pennsylvanian coal swamps developed. The flora consists of 29 species and a few prob- lematical forms. It represents an unusual biofacies, in which the generally rare genera Megalopteris, Lesleya, Palaeopteridium, and Lacoea are quite common. Noegger- athiales, which are seldom present in roof-shale floras, make up over 20 percent of the specimens. The Spencer Farm Flora is an extrabasinal (= "upland1') flora that was grow- ing on the calcareous soils in the vicinity of the ravine in which they were deposited. It is suggested here that the Noeggerathiales may belong to the Progymnosperms and that Noeggerathialian cones might be derived from Archaeopteris-like fructifica- tions. The cone genus Lacoea is intermediate between Noeggerathiostrobus and Discini tes in its morphology. Two new species, Lesleya cheimarosa and Rhodeop- teridi urn phillipsii , are described, and Gulpenia limbur- gensis is reported from North America for the first time. INTRODUCTION The Spencer Farm Flora (table 1) differs from other Pennsylvanian floras of the Illinois Basin. Many genera and species in the Spencer Farm Flora either have not been found elsewhere in the basin or are very l~uratorof Geology, Illinois State Museum, Springfield.

Introduction and/or base of the Rio Bonito (= Tietê) Formation, Lower Permian of the Paraná Basin. The study material comprises leaves fragments The record of the genus Rubidgea in Brazil was first preserved as impressions, previously included in the morphogenus mentioned by Cazzulo-Klepzig et al. (1980) for the Itararé Rubidgea because of their supposed gangamopterid venation pattern, Group of the Rio Grande do Sul state, and it is represented lacking anastomoses. However, re-evaluation of this material showed by a specimen classified as Rubidgea sp. Later, Rubidgea that these leaves bear at some degree, rare anastomoses along the lamina. Based on this observation, we proposed that these leaves obovata Maithy (1965) and Rubidgea lanceolatus Maithy should be transferred to the morphogenus Gangamopteris, which (1965) were illustrated and reported for the outcrops displays this type of venation.

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.

  • 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.

  • An Inventory of Trilobites from National Park Service Areas
    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.

  • 10. Brief Notes on the Eodiscids 11, Phylogeny of the Dawsonidea
    No. 1.] 43 10. Brief Notes on the Eodiscids 11, Phylogeny of the Dawsonidea. By Teiichi KoBAYASHI. (Comm. by H. YABE,M.I.A., Jan. 12, 1943.) Microdiscus has long been in common use for eodiscids, but as pointed out by Barrande in 1881, Microdiscus quadricostatus Emmons which is the type species of the genus, was a larval form of Trinucleus which was 'found in association with Ordovician graptolites and pele- cypods. Because Microdiscus Emmons, 1885, and the Microdiscidae Koken or Coquin, 196, lost their standing, Raymond adopted Eodiscus Hartt in place of Microdiscus and established Eodiscidae to include, beside the genus, two new ones, Goniodiscus and Weymouthia. While the three genera were all blind, Delgado described eodiscids with eyes in 1904 and Vogdes founded Delgadoia on Microdiscus caudatus Delgado in 1917. One year prior to this, Walcott had described proparian Pagetia as a member of the Eodiscidae, which became a subject of debate among trilobite students. Poulsen mentioned in 1927 that the sole reason for the resemblance of Pagetia to hypoparian eodiscids is adaptative convergence. This opinion is intenable because it is now known in Pagetia, Delgadoia or Al emtejoia that the two forms of each genus which are almost identical except for the presence or the absence of eyes and facial sutures, are found at the same locality. Supporting Beecher's view on the migration of the facial suture, Raymond emphasized in 1917, that Pagetia shows the stage in which the suture just came up to the dorsal side from the ventral in the agnostidian stage, notwithstanding the fact that Dindstrom and others have proven that the agnostid has no suture on the ventral side of its cephalon.

In Upper Pennsylvanian red beds in Cañon del Cobre of northern New Mexico, trackways of Arthropleura are present in strata that also yield body fossils of the amphibian Eryops. We review the Arthropleura tracksite from Cañon del Cobre, New Mexico, as well as other tracksites of this animal and arthropleurid/eryopid associations in order to better interpret the paleoenvironmental preference and the paleobiology of Arthropleura. This review supports the conclusion that Arthropleura was well adapted to alluvial environments of ever wet humid to seasonally dry and semihumid climates. Preferred habitats of semi-adult and adult Arthropleura were open, vegetated, river landscapes. They co-occurred in these habitats with semi-aquatic eryopid amphibians and terrestrial pelycosaurs.
