BERTHA ALMA BALDERAS GARCÍA 5 NATURAL WATER S.A. DE C.V APROVECHAMIENTO DE UN BANCO DE ARENA AL NOROESTE DE CIUDAD DEL CARMEN, CAMPECHE 2.- INFORMACIÓN GENERAL DEL PROYECTO 2.1. NATURALEZA DEL PROYECTO Tipo de proyecto: Extracción material azolves El proyecto consiste en la extracción de material pétreo arenoso que permanentemente se sedimenta en la zona propuesta, para su aprovechamiento racional en un Banco Marino de arena al noroeste de CD. Del Carmen, Campeche. El proyecto contará en su fase terminal con dos áreas para tarquinas, la primera de 929.71 m2 y la segunda de 1357.92 m2, área de oficinas 32m2, bodega de 64 m2, área para colocar maquinaria de 64 m2, baño de 1 m2 y área de maniobras de 3,108.18m2. El promovente solicita la conseción de un área 36,538.7m2 en la zona marítima que colinda con el predio, para la extracción material pétreo-arenoso a 1m de profundidad. Para esta actividad, se considera una tasa de extracción que no modifique el perfil de la costa, por lo que pretende aprovechar un volumen de 182,693.5m3 de material pétreo arenoso en un periodo de 5 años, lo que equivaldría a 36,538.7m3 por año. La extracción del material pétreo-arenoso se pretende realizar mediante draga de succión, el depósito del mismo se realizará mediante geotubos que llegarán directamente del punto de dragado a las tarquinas terrestres conformadas en la aproximación de la zona de trabajos, para que en una etapa posterior a su secado se realicen los trabajos de traslado a la zona urbana donde se destina al uso en áreas de construcción de vivienda por parte del gobierno del estado de Campeche, relleno de calles, lotes urbanos actualmente inundables y hacinados, así como material complementario para la construcción. Justificación La empresa promovente pretende realizar los trabajos en apego a la normatividad existente, cumpliendo en todo momento con todas aquellas acciones que conlleven a la conservación y recuperación de los recursos ecológicos. Una de las ventajas que presenta el área estudio, es la rápida recuperación de las zonas dragadas en años anteriores, la cual se hace evidente mediante el arribo, asentamiento y acumulación de Material Pétreo-Arenoso en escasos 2 años. Esto se puede observar al comparar las batimetrías de años anteriores, con la realizada por la empresa promoverte en septiembre del 2007. Así mismo, el presente proyecto contribuirá sustancialmente a cubrir la creciente demanda del material pétreo-arenoso que en la actualidad se registra en Cd. Del Carmen, debido al crecimiento que se a manifestado en los últimos años logrando con esto el desincentivar la necesidad de la apertura de bancos terrestres clandestinos, los cuales causan un impacto negativo al ambiente, ya que, conlleva a la deforestación de zonas de selva, así como, la exposición a contaminantes del manto freático.

Cold seeps fluids provide an additional source of energy for various sulfide- and 27 hydrocarbon-harvesting bacteria, often in symbiosis with invertebrates, attracting a variety of other 28 organisms including crustaceans (e.g., Levin 2005; Vanreusel et al. 2009; Vrijenhoek 2013). The 29 percentage of crustaceans of all macrofaunal specimens is highly variable locally in modern seeps, from 30 0–>50% (Dando et al. 1991; Levin et al.

    Measuring and Interpreting Predation on Gastropod Shells by Emily Sue Stafford A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta © Emily Sue Stafford, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on problems and progress in studying crushing predation on gastropods in the Modern and the fossil record. Although crushing predation tends to be destructive, it is possible to gather data on crushing predation from multiple angles. Chapter 2 applies an ichnotaxonomic name, Caedichnus, to the trace created by peeling crab predators. Chapter 3 the relationship between shell repair frequency and predation mortality in a modern gastropod community. In this case, repair frequency was likely a direct product of variation in predator abundance and strength. Chapter 4 focused on hermit crabs, an organism that inhabits gastropod shells and exposes those shells to predation even after the original gastropod inhabitant has died. The predatory crabs showed no preference for snail or hermit crab prey, which may mean that hermit crab habitation does not significantly alter the crab-on-snail predation patterns present in a shell assemblage. Chapter 5 expanded on previous work by the author, using a method by G.J. Vermeij to estimate crushing predation in a gastropod assemblage even when individual instances of predatory damage cannot be identified. Vermeij Crushing Analysis (VCA) uses drilled shells to establish a baseline of taphonomic damage in a shell assemblage; the chapter refines and examines this method more deeply, in addition to applying the method to compare predation on modern and fossil gastropod shell assemblages.

  • Mollusca. Fort Thompson Formation (Late Pleistocene)
    FLORIDA FOSSIL INVERTEBRATES PART 12 (APRIL 2010) MOLLUSCA Fort Thompson Formation (Late Pleistocene) B. Alex Kittle and Roger W. Portell Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, P.O. Box 117800, Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] INTRODUCTION The series of Florida Fossil Invertebrates pertaining to the phylum Mollusca continues with fossil shells from the Upper Pleistocene Fort Thompson Formation and includes a partial identification guide (Plates 1-10) and a comprehensive species checklist (Table 1) that consists of 81 marine and one freshwater bivalves, one scaphopod (tusk shell), and 146 marine, 17 freshwater, and 20 terrestrial snails. The checklist was compiled from published occurrences, as well as specimens found in the Invertebrate Paleontology Collection of the Florida Museum of Natural History. Highly doubtful published records and synonyms have been removed. Some published records based on spoil collected material from mixed stratigraphic units or from “supposedly” Fort Thompson Formation sediments, although questionable, remain on the list at present. The authors are confident that this checklist will expand when recently collected bulk samples from several Fort Thompson Formation sites are processed. The vast majority of the mollusk species listed herein can still be found living today along Florida’s coasts. However, some of the gastropods (e.g., Pyrazisinus scalatus (Heilprin, 1886) and Turritella subannulata Heilprin, 1886) are extinct. KITTLE & PORTELL: MOLLUSCA (FORT THOMPSON FORMATION) 2 Besides members of the phylum Mollusca, the Fort Thompson Formation contains several trace fossils (e.g., Ophiomorpha and Entobia) and corals (e.g., Archohelia limonensis Vaughan, 1919), numerous bryozoans (moss animals), arthropods (barnacles and crabs), and the occasional echinoderm remains (see Karrow et al., 1996; Portell et al., 1995; Portell and Schindler, 1991; Portell and Agnew, 2004).

  • Scientists Around the World Use a Standardized System for Classifying Species of Plants and Animals
    Scientists around the world use a standardized system for classifying species of plants and animals. This so- called “Linnaean Classification System”—named for its inventor, Carl Linnaeus—has been used for over 250 years to help scientists communicate about biological diversity and, more recently, evolutionary relationships. In this system, closely related species are assigned to the same genus. Similarly, closely related genera are assigned to the same family. Likewise for families assigned to orders, orders assigned to classes, classes assigned to phyla, and phyla assigned to kingdoms. Each one of the levels in the classification is a rank and members of the same rank are hypothesized to be more closely related to one another than to other groups at the same rank.

We think this is reason enough to publish a book about our activities in this period and to give you an impression of our collection. This book also will be a token of gratitude for our board members and befriended persons and institutes. To date we have about 63.000 lots in our collection. In the two parts of this book we can only show you approximately 3.400 items. This is only a small selection (roughly 5 percent). Of course, you can also find a lot of information on our website: www.fossilshells.nl. On this site we have chosen to arrange our collection on countries and on geological formations. In this book we show our stuff in taxonomic arrangement. For every super family we show some items from our collection. You will notice that most of the super families crawl over our planet for a very long period already and it gives you also an idea about the distribution over the world. Being the book in two parts it gives you an opportunity to open the section of f.e.

  • Fossil Predation: Did Some Clavilithine Fasciolariid Gastropods Employ Valve-Wedging to Feed on Bivalves?
    Vita Malacologica 13: 27-30 20 December 2015 Fossil predation: did some clavilithine fasciolariid gastropods employ valve-wedging to feed on bivalves? Geerat J. VERMEIJ Dept. of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California at Davis One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, U.S.A. email: [email protected] Key words: Gastropoda, Clavilithes , Bivalvia, predation, outer lip ABSTRACT behaviour, in which the predator's convex lip sector is brought down forcefully at the valve commissure of thick-shelled prey Several gastropods, including members of the (Carriker, 1951; Kent, 1983a, b; Dietl, 2003a, b, 2004). All Busyconinae, wedge or chip bivalve prey by inserting the these predators reach adult shell lengths of 60 mm or more, outer lip between the valves. This habit, which is associated sometimes much more. Shell-wedgers tend to be limited to with an abapically downwardly convex outer lip, often results thin-shelled bivalve prey, whereas shell-chippers can open in breakage and subsequent repair of the lip. I tested the tightly closed thick-shelled bivalves as well (Paine, 1962). hypothesis that convex-lipped clavilithines from the Eocene Among possible fossil candidates for shell-wedging are of France and the Neogene of Indonesia had higher frequen - members of a large group (probably clade) of Fasciolariidae cies of repair than their straight-lipped counterparts. Although that I shall refer to as clavilithines. After their earliest appear - this prediction was verified, frequencies of repair are low (0 ance in the Danian (Early Palaeocene) of Belgium as the to 0.19) compared to those of busyconines, indicating either small-bodied (37 mm) Cosmolithes reticulatus (Briart & that prey bivalves were small or that the predators are smaller Cornet, 1873) (see Glibert, 1973), the group achieved a than most busyconines.
