Among fishes, the genusEosemionotus is the most abundant, followed by the genera Habroichthys, Placopleurus, Saurichthys, and the early neopterigians probably close to semionotiform (IFuro andISangiorgioichthys). Among them, a fish that probably belongs to the genus Ctenognathichthys was also found. Locally,Eosemionotus specimens can be found in large numbers on single bedding planes (possibly mass mortality events). Numerous very well preserved fish remains are certainly the most important and remarkable fossils from the Kamniško-Savinjske Alps. New fish specimens are being found regularly during each new visit to the outcrops of the Strelovec Formation, therefore new interesting finds are expected within the ongoing field research. 108 SCOPOLIA Suppl. 5-2010 ©Slovenian Museum of Natural History, Ljubljana, Slovenia; download www.biologiezentrum.at Fosili rib iz Strelovške formacije spadajo med pripada rodu Ctenognathichthys (T-1025). najpomembnejše triasne najdbe v Kamniško- Večinoma prevladujejo rodovi majhnih rib. -Savinjskih Alpah.

Early Triassic marine fishes and reptiles Fish nodule therefore are key proxies in reconstructing the ecosystem recovery process after the end-Permian mass extinc- Redox condition tion. In South China, the Early Triassic Jurong fish fauna is the earliest marine vertebrate assemblage inthe Ecosystem recovery period. It is constrained as mid-late Smithian in age based on both conodont biostratigraphy and carbon Taphonomy isotopic correlations. The Jurong fishes are all preserved in calcareous nodules embedded in black shaleofthe Lower Triassic Lower Qinglong Formation, and the fauna comprises at least three genera of Paraseminotidae and Perleididae. The phosphatic fish bodies often show exceptionally preserved interior structures, including net- work structures of possible organ walls and cartilages. Microanalysis reveals the well-preserved micro-structures (i.e. collagen layers) of teleost scales and fish fins. -

Following the UNESCO inscription of the Swiss side of the mountain in 2003, the Italian side has been inscribed in 2010, stating that: “Monte San Giorgio is the only and best known evidence of the marine Triassic life but also preserves some important remains of terrestrial organisms. The numerous and diverse fossil finds are exceptionally preserved and complete. The long history of the research and the controlled management of the paleontological resources have allowed thorough studies and the classification of exceptional specimens which are the basis for a rich scientific paper production. For all these reasons Monte San Giorgio represents the main reference in the world concerning the Triassic faunas.” 4 THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF MONTE SAN GIORGIO Monte San Giorgio belongs to the broad tectonic feature named Sudalpino , which encompasses all the rock formations lying South of the Insubric Line. The oldest rocks of Monte San Giorgio outcrop in spots along the shores of the Ceresio Lake, between the Brusino Arsizio custom house and the built-up area of Porto Ceresio. -

Keywords: Teffichthys gen. n.; TEFF; Ankitokazo basin; geometric morphometrics; intraspecific variation; basal actinopterygians. Abstract. The revision of the material from the Lower Triassic fossil-bearing-nodule levels from northwe- stern Madagascar supports the assumption that the genus Perleidus De Alessandri, 1910 is not present in the Early Triassic. In the past, the presence of this genus has been reported in the Early Triassic of Angola, Canada, China, Greenland, Madagascar and Spitsbergen. More recently, it has been pointed out that these taxa may not be ascri- bed to Perleidus owing to several anatomical differences. The morphometric, meristic and morphological analyses revealed a remarkable ontogenetic and individual intraspecific variation among dozens of specimens from the lower Triassic of Ankitokazo basin, northwestern Madagascar and allowed to consider the two Malagasyan species P. -

The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known.

Unitat d'Alcover. Resum: Els fòssils de les dolmicrites d'Alcover es coneixen des del 1963. La Unitat de les Dolomies Taulejades d'Alcover (pedra d'Alcover) té una potència de 70-80 m, i es troba en depressions interesculls. Estratigràficament es situa al Ladinià superior (Triàsic mitjà). Durant la deposició de la Unitat d'Alcover es van desenvolupar condicions anòxiques i hipersalines d'una forma periòdica. Les fàcies més abundants són constituïdes per capes de dolmicrites massives (d'entre 1 i 10 cm de gruix) i dolmicrites laminades molt fines. Localment apareixen capes ondulades amb plegaments i cabussaments. L'associació fòssil és al·lòctona i composta per grups florístics i faunístics com: plantes terrestres, celenterats, braquiòpodes, mol·luscs, artròpodes, equinoderms, peixos i rèptils, però la reputació d'aquests jaciments rau en el fet que els fòssils s'han conservat en dolmicrites i en la seva diversitat ictiològica. La fauna de peixos d'Alcover es caracteritza bàsicament per individus de talla mitjana. Els Saurichtiformes i els Perleidiformes són els ordres més comuns. Mitjançant aquest estudi els actinopterigis es classifiquen bàsicament a nivell genèric, i en alguns casos només a nivell de família. D'aquesta manera, i fins avui, han sigut prèviament indentificats 15 gèneres pertanyents a 11 famílies i nou ordres: Plycholepis, IBoreosomiis, Sauriclitliys, Colobodiis, Perleidus, IClenognaliclilltys, Peltoperleidiis, ICleithrolepididae indet., Pelíopleurus, Peripeltopleurus, IPlatysiagiim, Liiganoia, Eosemionotiis, Archaeosemionotus, Allolepidotiis, Eoeugnathiis, ICaturus, lOphiopsis, IPholidophoridae indet. -

A Hiatus Obscures the Early Evolution of Modern Lineages of Bony Fishes
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 A Hiatus Obscures the Early Evolution of Modern Lineages of Bony Fishes Romano, Carlo Abstract: About half of all vertebrate species today are ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), and nearly all of them belong to the Neopterygii (modern ray-fins). The oldest unequivocal neopterygian fossils are known from the Early Triassic. They appear during a time when global fish faunas consisted of mostly cosmopolitan taxa, and contemporary bony fishes belonged mainly to non-neopterygian (“pale- opterygian”) lineages. In the Middle Triassic (Pelsonian substage and later), less than 10 myrs (million years) after the Permian-Triassic boundary mass extinction event (PTBME), neopterygians were already species-rich and trophically diverse, and bony fish faunas were more regionally differentiated compared to the Early Triassic. Still little is known about the early evolution of neopterygians leading up to this first diversity peak. A major factor limiting our understanding of this “Triassic revolution” isaninter- val marked by a very poor fossil record, overlapping with the Spathian (late Olenekian, Early Triassic), Aegean (Early Anisian, Middle Triassic), and Bithynian (early Middle Anisian) substages. Here, I review the fossil record of Early and Middle Triassic marine bony fishes (Actinistia and Actinopterygii) at the substage-level in order to evaluate the impact of this hiatus–named herein the Spathian–Bithynian gap (SBG)–on our understanding of their diversification after the largest mass extinction event of the past. I propose three hypotheses: 1) the SSBE hypothesis, suggesting that most of the Middle Triassic diver- sity appeared in the aftermath of the Smithian-Spathian boundary extinction (SSBE; 2 myrs after the PTBME), 2) the Pelsonian explosion hypothesis, which states that most of the Middle Triassic ichthyo- diversity is the result of a radiation event in the Pelsonian, and 3) the gradual replacement hypothesis, i.e. -
