  • Dawson: Geologist and Educator Dawson’S Interest in Natural History Began Early
    INTRODUCTION Bernard of Chartres, an 11th–12th century philosopher and teacher, said that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they and for a greater distance, not by any virtue of our own but because we are carried high and raised aloft by their stature. All of us have our geological heroes, those giants on whose shoulders we stand. To encourage recognition of these luminaries and to provide inspiration for students and young professionals, the GSA History of Geology Division presents Rock Stars, brief pro- files of our geological giants.

E-mail: [email protected]. 12 13 Abstract 14 Ediacaran fronds are key components of terminal-Proterozoic ecosystems. They 15 represent one of the most widespread and common body forms ranging across all 16 major Ediacaran fossil localities and time slices postdating the Gaskiers glaciation, 17 but uncertainty over their phylogenetic affinities has led to uncertainty over issues 18 of homology and functional morphology between, and within, organisms displaying 19 this ecomorphology. Here we present the first large scale, multi-group cladistic 20 analysis of Ediacaran organisms, sampling 20 ingroup taxa with previously asserted 21 affinities to the Arboreomorpha, Erniettomorpha and Rangeomorpha. Using a newly 22 derived morphological character matrix that incorporates multiple axes of potential 23 phylogenetically informative data, including architectural, developmental, and 24 structural qualities, we seek to illuminate the evolutionary history of these 25 organisms. We find strong support for existing classification schema and devise 26 apomorphy-based definitions for each of the three frondose clades examined here. 27 Through a rigorous cladistics framework it is possible to discern the pattern of 28 evolution within, and between, these clades, including the identification of 29 homoplasies and functional constraints.

New specimens cast in three dimensions within sandy event beds showcase detailed branching morphology that highlights possible internal features that are strikingly different from rangeomorph and erniettomorph fronds. Combined with dozens of well-preserved two-dimensional impressions from the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, morphological variations within the traditional Arborea morphotype are interpreted as representing various stages of external molding. In rare cases, taphomorphs (morphological variants attributable to preservation) represent composite molding of internal features consisting of structural supports or anchoring sites for branching structures.

    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. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Trilobites from the Ludlow and Přídolí of England and Wales are described. 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.
