Rio de Janeiro.Brazll. Abstract : A partial skeleton representsthe first occurrenceof the amiid (Actinopterygii: Halecomorphi: Amiidae) Calamopleurus from the Nova Olinda Member of the Crato Formation (Aptian) of north east Brazil. The new spe- cimen is further evidencethat the Crato Formation ichthyofauna is similar to that of the slightly younger Romualdo Member of the Santana Formation of the same sedimentary basin. The extended temporal range, ?Aptian to ?Cenomanian,for this genus rules out its usefulnessas a biostratigraphic indicator for the Araripe Basin.

35-51 New Data on Pleuropholis Decastroi (Teleostei, Pleuropholidae)
Geo-Eco-Trop., 2019, 43, 1 : 35-51 New data on Pleuropholis decastroi (Teleostei, Pleuropholidae), a “pholidophoriform” fish from the Lower Cretaceous of the Eurafrican Mesogea Nouvelles données sur Pleuropholis decastroi (Teleostei, Pleuropholidae), un poisson “pholidophoriforme” du Crétacé inférieur de la Mésogée eurafricaine Louis TAVERNE 1 & Luigi CAPASSO 2 Résumé: Le crâne et le corps de Pleuropholis decastroi, un poisson fossile de l’Albien (Crétacé inférieur) du sud de l’Italie, sont redécrits en détails. P. decastroi diffère des autres espèces du genre par ses deux nasaux en contact médian et qui séparent complètement le dermethmoïde ( = rostral) des frontaux. Avec son maxillaire extrêmement élargi qui couvre la mâchoire inférieure et son supramaxillaire fortement réduit, P. decastroi semble plus nettement apparenté avec Pleuropholis cisnerosorum, du Jurassique supérieur du Mexique, qu’avec les autres espèces du genre. Par ses mâchoires raccourcies et ses nombreux os orbitaires, Pleuropholis apparaît également comme le genre le plus spécialisé de la famille. La position systématique des Pleuropholidae au sein du groupe des « pholidophoriformes » est discutée. Mots-clés: Pleuropholis decastroi, Albien, Italie du sud, Pleuropholis, Pleuropholidae, “Pholidophoriformes”, ostéologie, position systématique. Abstract: The skull and the body of Pleuropholis decastroi, a fossil fish from the marine Albian (Lower Cretaceous) of southern Italy, are re-described in details. P. decastroi differs from the other species of the genus by their two nasals that are in contact along the mid-line, completely separating the dermethmoid (= rostral) from the frontals. With its extremely broadened maxilla that covers the lower jaw and its strongly reduced supramaxilla, P. decastroi seems more closely related to Pleuropholis cisnerosorum, from the Upper Jurassic of Mexico, than to the other species of the genus. -

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MUSCLE PRESERVATION IN JURASSIC FISHES OF CHILE Museum 01 Natural History, and Department 01 Systematics and Ecology, HANS-PETER SCHULTZE The University 01 Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2454, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Late Jurassic fishes of Northern Chile are preserved in calcareous concretions within black shales of Oxfordian age. Co-occurring invertebrates (decapod crustaceans, ostrean bivalves, and algae) indicate benthic life. Soft tissues of the fishes were impregnated by calcium phosphate during life, whereas the decay of the remaining soft tissue induced the formation of the calcareous concretions around the fishes. Occurrence of vitamin 03 or a hydroxylated form of Ihis vitamin is postulated to have occurred in Ihe Jurassic phytoplankton; vitamin 03 induced a break-down of the regulation of the calcium metabolism in the fishes as is the case in calcinosis 01 cattle. High concentration of phosphate in phytoplankton 01 the upwelling zone on the western margin of the shelf of South America could explain the additional supply of phosphate in the fossil fishes which is missing from surrounding concretions and sediment. Key words: Preservation, 50ft tissue,lmpregnation in lite (calcinosis), Teleostean fishes, Oxtordian, Northern Chile. RESUMEN Los peces del Jurásico Superior del norte de Chile están preservados en lutitas negras. La presencia de invertebra dos (crustáceos decápodos, ostras y algas) junto con los peces es indicio de vida bentónica. Los tejidos blandos de los peces se impregnaron con fosfato de calcio en vida de los individuos, mientras que la descomposición de otros tejidos blandos indujo a la formación de concreciones calcáreas alrededor de los peces. -

However, a vast majority of these Early Cretaceous fossils lack precise geographical and stratigraphic data. The absence of such contextual proxies hinders our understanding of the apparent variations in faunal composition and abundance patterns across the Araripe Basin. We conducted controlled excavations in the Romualdo Member in order to provide a detailed account of its main stratigraphic, sedimentological and palaeontological features near Santana do Cariri, Ceara´ State. We provide the first fine-scale stratigraphic sequence ever established for the Romualdo Member and we distinguish at least seven concretion-bearing horizons. Notably, a 60-cm-thick group of layers (bMatraca˜oQ), located in the middle part of the member, is virtually barren of fossiliferous concretions. -

Os Répteis Voadores Do Cretáceo Brasileiro

No Brasil existem duas formações, ambas no Nordeste , onde sao encontrados restos de répteis voadores: formação Gram~ me, bacia Pernambuco-Paraiba e formação Santana, bacia do Ara ripe. Existe, ainda, a suspeita da existência de um dente em sedimentos cretáceos da bacia do Recôncavo, Bahia, que precisa ser confirmada (Campos, 1983). Destas localidades destacam-se as situadas na bacia do Araripe, onde já foram encontrados algumas centenas de ossos de pterossauros. A preservação destes restos é a melhor que já foi registrada neste grupo até o presente estágio do conhecimen to. Neste trabalho apresentaremos o estágio a t ual dos estudos dos répteis voadores encontrados no Brasil, tecendo , sempre que possivel, comentários a respeito de cada forma des crita. -

Family-Group Names of Fossil Fishes

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fishes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fishes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fishes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.

PREFACE Milkfish is a fascinating creature. It is a primitive species, dating back about 40 million years, but it is also highly differentiated. It has a rather complex life history and a high degree of ecological and physiological flexibil- ity. Once called the mysterious milkfish, it is slowly yielding its secrets. In the next hundred pages, I composed a biography of milkfish based on studies I have been personally involved with, as well as data in the literature. The present monograph is a comprehensive up-to-date account of milkfish biology, excluding the technical details of artificial propagation, culture, nutrition, and pathology. Its origins lie in my involvement in the Milkfish Ecology Project of the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department that in 1975-1985 conducted studies on the occurrence, distribution, natural life history, feeding, growth, and reproduction of milkfish, particularly around Panay Island in west central Philippines. -
