  • The Systematic Position of the Enigmatic Thyreophoran Dinosaur Paranthodon Africanus, and the Use of Basal Exemplifiers in Phyl
    1 The systematic position of the enigmatic thyreophoran dinosaur Paranthodon africanus, 2 and the use of basal exemplifiers in phylogenetic analysis 3 4 Thomas J. Raven1,2 ,3 and Susannah C. R. Maidment2 ,3 5 61Department of Earth Science & Engineering, Imperial College London, UK 72School of Environment & Technology, University of Brighton, UK 8 3Department of Earth Sciences, Natural History Museum, London, UK 9 10Corresponding author: Thomas J. Raven 11 12Email address: [email protected] 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21ABSTRACT 22 23The first African dinosaur to be discovered, Paranthodon africanus was found in 1845 in the 24Lower Cretaceous of South Africa. Taxonomically assigned to numerous groups since discovery, 25in 1981 it was described as a stegosaur, a group of armoured ornithischian dinosaurs 26characterised by bizarre plates and spines extending from the neck to the tail. This assignment 27that has been subsequently accepted. The type material consists of a premaxilla, maxilla, a nasal, 28and a vertebra, and contains no synapomorphies of Stegosauria. Several features of the maxilla 29and dentition are reminiscent of Ankylosauria, the sister-taxon to Stegosauria, and the premaxilla 30appears superficially similar to that of some ornithopods. The vertebral material has never been 31described, and since the last description of the specimen, there have been numerous discoveries 32of thyreophoran material potentially pertinent to establishing the taxonomic assignment of the 33specimen. An investigation of the taxonomic and systematic position of Paranthodon is therefore 34warranted. This study provides a detailed re-description, including the first description of the 35vertebra. Numerous phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that the systematic position of 36Paranthodon is highly labile and subject to change depending on which exemplifier for the clade 37Stegosauria is used.

  • The Ichnology of the Winterhouse Formation
    The ichnology of the Winterhouse Formation By ©Robyn Rebecca Reynolds, B.Sc. (Hons) A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Earth Sciences Memorial University of Newfoundland October, 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland Abstract The Upper Ordovician Winterhouse Formation of Western Newfoundland contains a, hitherto undescribed, well-preserved and diverse assemblage of trace fossils. This study provides the first systematic ichnological review of the area. 20 ichnotaxa are documented herein from the mudstone and sandstone storm deposits of the formation. A detailed morphologic three-dimensional reconstruction and analysis of a complex Parahaentzschelinia-like burrow system that is prolific throughout the formation is also undertaken. This analysis allows for a reconsideration of the trace-maker’s ethology and paleobiology, and highlights a need for a systematic ichnotaxonomic review of Parahaentzschelinia. Additional reconstructions of natural mineral-filled fractures associated with Parahaentzschelinia-like burrows in the cemented silt-rich fine-grained sandstones illustrate that the burrows create planes of weakness within the cemented sandstone, along which natural fractures preferentially propagate. This suggests that these trace fossils create mechanical heterogeneities that can steer fracture development, and can potentially have a dramatic effect on reservoir charactertstics in bioturbated reservoirs where induced fracturing techniques may be employed. ii Acknowledgements Firstly I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Duncan McIlroy, for providing me with this opportunity, and for your support and mentorship throughout the past three years. In addition to everything I have learned from you about ichnology and sedimentology, your approach to research and your method of supervising/teaching has made me a stronger, more independent, and confident scientist.

  • The Eoorthid Brachiopod Apheoorthina in the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina and the Dispersal Pathways Along Western Gondwana
    The eoorthid brachiopod Apheoorthina in the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina and the dispersal pathways along western Gondwana DIEGO F. MUÑOZ and JUAN L. BENEDETTO Muñoz, D.F. and Benedetto, J.L. 2016. The eoorthid brachiopod Apheoorthina in the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina and the dispersal pathways along western Gondwana. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 61 (3): 633–644. The eoorthid brachiopod Apheoorthina is reported for the first time from the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina. It is represented by a species similar to A. ferrigena from the Tremadocian of the Prague Basin, increasing the faunal af- finities between the Central Andean Basin and the South European microcontinents, in particular the Bohemian region (Perunica). Nine out of the fourteen brachiopod genera reported from the Tremadocian of the Central Andean Basin (~64%) are shared with the Mediterranean region, four of which (~28%) have been recorded in the Prague Basin, and two (Kvania and Apheoorthina) are restricted to the Central Andes and Perunica. Dispersal pathways around Gondwana are analyzed in the light of major factors affecting large-scale distribution of brachiopods (environment, larval capacity for dispersal, oceanic currents). The presence in Apheoorthina aff. ferrigena of a well-preserved larval protegulum measuring 420 μm in width and 210 μm in length strongly suggests that this species had planktotrophic larvae capable of long-distance dispersal. According to recent ocean-atmosphere general circulation models for the Ordovician Period, the Central Andean margin was dominated by the cold-water Antarctica Current. Despite the complex non-zonal pattern produced by current deflections around the peri-Gondwanan microcontinents, the general westward circulation sense favoured larval dispersal from the Andean region to North Africa, Avalonia, the Armorican Terrane Assemblage, and Perunica.

  • Early German Herpetological Observations and Explorations in Southern Africa, with Special Reference to the Zoological Museum of Berlin
    Bonner zoologische Beiträge Band 52 (2003) Heft 3/4 Seiten 193–214 Bonn, November 2004 Early German Herpetological Observations and Explorations in Southern Africa, With Special Reference to the Zoological Museum of Berlin Aaron M. BAUER Department of Biology, Villanova University, Villanova, Pennsylvania, USA Abstract. The earliest herpetological records made by Germans in southern Africa were casual observations of common species around Cape Town made by employees of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during the mid- to late Seven- teenth Century. Most of these records were merely brief descriptions or lists of common names, but detailed illustrations of many reptiles were executed by two German illustrators in the employ of the VOC, Heinrich CLAUDIUS and Johannes SCHUMACHER. CLAUDIUS, who accompanied Simon VAN DER STEL to Namaqualand in 1685, left an especially impor- tant body of herpetological illustrations which are here listed and identified to species. One of the last Germans to work for the Dutch in South Africa was Martin Hinrich Carl LICHTENSTEIN who served as a physician and tutor to the last Dutch governor of the Cape from 1802 to 1806. Although he did not collect any herpetological specimens himself, LICHTENSTEIN, who became the director of the Zoological Museum in Berlin in 1813, influenced many subsequent workers to undertake employment and/or expeditions in southern Africa. Among the early collectors were Karl BERGIUS and Ludwig KREBS. Both collected material that is still extant in the Berlin collection today, including a small number of reptile types. Because of LICHTENSTEIN’S emphasis on specimens as items for sale to other museums rather than as subjects for study, many species first collected by KREBS were only described much later on the basis of material ob- tained by other, mostly British, collectors.

Despite its name, it is not considered at present as a true orocline as was defined by Carey (1958). Current models suggest that the present curvature is the result of an original geometrie feature which has been enhanced by Andean tectonism (Kley, 1999). Several different hypothesis about the mechanisms that have caused the systematic rotations detected by paleomagnetism have been proposed, but no general consensus has been yet attained. Because of the lack of Lower Paleozoic paleomagnetic data from Northwestern Argentina, a reconnaissance paleomagnetic survey was carried out on the Meson Group, exposed along the Iruya River in the province of Salta (22°49'S-22°50'S y 64°50'W-65°00'W), near the Matancillas anticline. .....'" tN t . o \" REFERENCES Figura 1.
