Of Living and Fossil Echinoids 1924-1970
Index of Living and Fossil Echinoids 1924-1970 PORTER M. KIER and MARY HURD LAWSON SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO PALEOBIOLOGY NUMBER 34 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. -

Of Living and Fossil Echinoids 1971-2008
©Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien, Serie A 112 195-470 Wien, Juni 2010 Index of Living and Fossil Echinoids 1971-2008 By Andreas KROH1 Manuscript submitted on November 20th 2009, the revised manuscript on January 21st 2010 Abstract All new taxa of fossil and living echinoids described from 1971 to 2008 are listed with their age, geographic and stratigraphic occurrence, repository of type material and bibliographic citation. Keywords: Echinodermata, Echinoidea, bibliography, species list, type material. Introduction Comprehensive listings of living and fossil echinoids for the species and genera estab- lished before 1970 were published by LAMBERT & THIÉRY (1909-25) and KIER & LAWSON (1978) respectively. KIER & LAWSON’s supplement for the years 1971-75 to their “Index of Living and Fossil Echinoids 1924-1970” has never been published. More than thirty years have passed since the latter publication and although the advent of information technology and the internet has made taxonomic research much easier, a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for echinoid species is still missing. At genus-level though, echinoids are de- scribed in detail in Andrew SMITH’s Echinoid Directory (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research- curation/research/projects/echinoid-directory/index.html), an indispensible resource for anyone working with this group. This list was prepared utilizing a variety of resources, printed and online. The bulk of taxa was located by culling the current echinoderm literature for new taxa and by cross check- ing this list with the Zoological Record. Citations before 1971 are included if they were absent in LAMBERT & THIÉRY (1909-25) and KIER & LAWSON (1978). -

SUPPLEMEXT TO THE AXXOTATED CATALOGUE OF THE PUBLISHED \yKITIXGS OF CHARLES ABIATHAR WHITE, 1886-1897. By Timothy W. Stantox. In 1885 Mr. J. B. Mamni published in Bulletin 30 of the United States jSlational Museum,' an "Annotated catalogue of the published writings of Charles Abiathar White." covering the period from 1860 to 1885, inclusive. The present list is a continuation of that catalogue, the entries being numbered consecutively through both lists, bringing Doctor White's personal bibliography down to the close of 1897. The first five entries were inadvertently omitted from the earlier catalogue, and are, therefore, not in their regular chronological order. Charles A. White was born in Xorth Dighton, Bristol County, Mas- sachusetts, on January 26, 1826. In 1838 he removed with his father's famil}^ to Iowa, where he resided until 1873. For thirty-seven years his writings and his labors have related chietly to scientific subjects, especially geology and j)aleontology, and during that time he has lield many official positions and re(;eived many academic and professional honors. He received the degree of M. 1), from Rush 31edical College, Chicago, in 1863 and the degree of A. M. in 186(5 from Iowa State College. He was vState geologist of Iowa, by legislative appointment, from 1866 to LS69, inclusive; professor of natural history in the Iowa State Univer sity from 1867 to 1873; professor of natural history in Bowdoin College from 1873 to 1875; paleontologist to the geographical and geological surveys west of the one hundredth meridian in charge of Lieutenant George !M.

Palaeontologia Electronica PALAEODIVERSITY OF
Palaeontologia Electronica http://palaeo-electronica.org PALAEODIVERSITY OF CARIBBEAN ECHINOIDS INCLUDING NEW MATERIAL FROM THE VENEZUELAN NEOGENE Morana Mihaljević, Christian Klug, Orangel Aguilera, Thomas Lüthi and Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra ABSTRACT The extensive Venezuelan coastline is very important for understanding the evolu- tion of the Caribbean marine fauna. We report new fossil material collected from three Neogene fossil sites in the Falcón Basin and present the first diversity analysis of the known fossil echinoids from Venezuela and other Caribbean regions. Five species are reported for the first time from Venezuela. Each of the three fossil sites shows a differ- ent taxonomic composition, which may be a consequence of differing palaeoecological conditions during the Neogene. Furthermore, the environmental changes caused by the closure of the Central American Isthmus may also have played a role. The analysis of the Venezuelan echinoid fossil record, including the new herein described material, reveals three major diversity decreases and a maximal diversity peak in the Middle Miocene instead of the Eocene as it is the case in other Caribbean echinoid faunas. The first diversity decrease at the end of the Early Cretaceous, recognised by a gap in the fossil record, unfolds new research potential. The second one, around the Eocene- Oligocene boundary, is interpreted as an extinction event, as has been recognized for other echinoid and invertebrate faunas throughout the Caribbean. In contrast to other Caribbean invertebrate faunas, the cause of the third diversity decrease of echinoids throughout the Caribbean appears to be the beginning, instead of the end, of the clo- sure of the Central American Isthmus. -
Late Cretaceous (Turonian – Coniacian) Irregular Echinoids of Western Kazakhstan (Mangyshlak) and Southern Poland (Opole)
Acta Geologica Polonica, Vol. 57 (2007), No. 1, pp. 1-87 Late Cretaceous (Turonian – Coniacian) irregular echinoids of western Kazakhstan (Mangyshlak) and southern Poland (Opole) DANUTA OLSZEWSKA-NEJBERT Faculty of Geology, Warsaw University, Al. ˚wirki i Wigury 93, PL-02-089 Warszawa, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: OLSZEWSKA-NEJBERT, D. 2007. Late Cretaceous (Turonian – Coniacian) irregular echinoids of western Kazakhstan (Mangyshlak) and southern Poland (Opole). Acta Geologica Polonica, 57 (1), 1-87. Warszawa. During the Late Cretaceous, both Mangyshlak and the Opole area were part of the North European Province, and irregular echinoid faunas during the Turonian and Coniacian in both areas were dominat- ed by holasteroids and spatangoids, in particular by Plesiocorys, Echinocorys and Micraster. Almost 1,000 specimens from both areas have been studied. Taxonomically more varied are the fau- nas from Mangyshlak (15 species in 6 genera); the Opole assemblages comprise 9 species in 3 genera. One species, Micraster (Micraster) praerogalae, a transitional form between Micraster (Micraster) cortestu- dinarium (GOLDFUSS) and Micraster (Micraster) rogalae NOWAK, is described as new. Micraster (Micraster) rogalae is markedly diachronous within the North European Province, first appearing in the late Coniacian in Mangyshlak and reaching central and western Europe during the late Early Santonian. A similar pattern is revealed by a large morphotype of Echinocorys ex gr. scutata LESKE. Palaeoecological and actualistic data show the taxa studied to have been shallow infaunal (Catopygus), shallow epifaunal [Conulus (Conulus) subrotundus], deeper infaunal [Micraster (Micraster)], deeper semi-infaunal [Micraster (Gibbaster), Plesiocorys (Sternotaxis) plana], deeper epifaunal [Echinocorys, Plesiocorys (Plesiocorys) placenta], and deeper infaunal (Hemiaster). -

Il présente mes thématiques de recherche, les principaux résultats obtenus et constitue aussi une prospective pour la réalisation de mes projets futurs. Mes recherches portent sur l'analyse macroévolutive et macroécologique de la diversité fossile et actuelle des échinides. Ce groupe constitue un modèle d'étude de la biodiversité marine que j'aborde à différentes échelles taxinomiques et géographiques, ainsi qu'à travers des contextes variés, de la diversification des échinides irréguliers au Jurassique aux espèces abyssales et antarctiques actuelles. Mes thématiques de recherche s'articulent autour de l'étude des dimensions phylogénétiques, morphologiques, écologiques et biogéographiques de la diversité des échinides. -
