Introduction The goal of the CR-17 borehole (Fig. 1) was to acquire knowledge about the thickness of Devo- nian carbonate in the Crna Rijeka area of Bosnia and to recognize the geological characteristics of the area to support the project of the »Crna Rijeka Dam«, near Sarajevo (BA{AGI} & SKOPLJAK, 2007). In this short report a documentation is presen- ted of a conodont study carried out in Paleozoic strata of the Crna Rijeka CR-17 borehole, inter- val from 12 to 203 meters. The obtained conodont fauna indicates an Early-Middle Devonian age of the investigated samples present in some of the oldest strata in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Geological setting Geographically, the Crna Rijeka is located southeast of Sarajevo (Fig. 1). The area of Crna Rijeka is included in the Fo~a-Pra~a Paleozoic Fig. 1.

  • The Permian Calcareous Algae from Southeastern Anatolia
    THE PERMIAN CALCAREOUS ALGAE FROM SOUTHEASTERN ANATOLIA Utarit BİLGÜTAY Mineral Research and Exploration Institute of Turkey INTRODUCTION In the summer of the year 1958, I received some limestone samples which were collected near the village of Hazru (Diyarbakır - SE Anatolia) by R. H. Wagner1. During 1951 and 1954, this region had already been studied by Dr. Necip Tolun. According to the latter the entire stratigraphical column, which ranges here from the Devonian into the Quaternary, would be deposited in an environment of continual subsidence. With regard to the Paleozoic he states that the Carboniferous strata, which cover the Devonian, consist of bitumi- nous plant fossil containing sandstones. The Carboniferous is overlaid by Per- mian limestones from which he mentions: Mizzia yabei Karp. Mizzia sp. Gymnocodium Staffella sp. R. H. Wagner's samples were collected by him from these Permian lime- stones, about 50 m. above the top of the Carboniferous sandstone. Thin sec- tions prepared from these samples showed the presence of two distinct groups of green algae, which are the subject of the present study. SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTIONS Class CHLOROPHYTA Subclass CHLOROPHYCEAE Order Siphonocladales Family DASTCLADACEAE Among the remains of Dasycladaceae, found in the Hazru region, there is an abundant representation of Mizzia.

The areas that were studied in detail are the Kuh-e Surmeh and Kuh-e Dena sections of the Zagros Mountains, Iran, and their equivalent in the offshore Fars subsurface. The observations and interpretations based on these sections were then integrated with the regional subsurface descriptions, interpretations and models, and related to the Upper Khuff system across the region. The synthesis of the core descriptions and the Zagros outcrop facies data, together with integration of published data resulted in the definition and characterisation of 16 principal facies associations that were used to interpret the depositional environment. Qualitative comparisons of Upper Khuff sections and subsurface cores across the Zagros area, offshore Fars and Middle East Gulf region, showed that this classification of depositional facies is applicable at a larger regional scale and useful in rapid regional comparisons and correlations of the Upper Khuff depositional systems. The large range in documented facies types reflects the great variety in depositional systems and sub-systems that were present across the Khuff platform.

In order to explore the mechanism of organisms’ demise, detailed analyses of depositional facies, fossil record, and carbonate carbon isotopic variations were carried out on a Maokou-Wujiaping boundary succession in northwestern Sichuan, SW China. Our data reveal a negative carbon iso- topic excursion across the boundary; the gradual excursion with relatively low amplitude (2.15‰) favors a long-term influx of isotopically light 12C sourced by the Emeishan basalt trap, rather than by rapid releasing of gas hydrate. The temporal coinci- dence of the beginning of accelerated negative carbon isotopic excursion with onsets of sea-level fall and massive biotic de- mise suggests a cause-effect link between them. Intensive volcanic activity of the Emeishan trap and sea-level fall could have resulted in detrimental environmental stresses and habitat loss for organisms, particularly for those benthic dwellers, leading to their subsequent massive extinction.

    J. micropulueontol., 9 (2): 238-244, March 1991 Permocalculus iagifuensis sp. nov.: A new Miocene gymnocodiacean alga from Papua New Guinea M.D. SIMMONS & M.J. JOHNSTON Exploration Technology Branch, BP Research Centre, Chertsey Road, Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex, TW 16 7LN, United Kingdom. ABSTRACT -Pwmocu/c.u/usiagjfuensis, a new species of gymnocodiacean alga is described from the Miocene of the Darai Limestone Formation of Papua f!ew Guinea. The discovery of this species greatly extends the range of gymnocodiacean algae, which previously had only been confidently recorded from the Permian and Cretaceous. It also suggests an evolutionary link to the Recent genus Cu/uxuu~.u(order Nemalionales; family Chaetangiaceae), which is the only extant alga bearing ;I similarity to the Gymnocodiaceae. Alternatively, a closer relationship to the green udoteacean algae (e.g. Halimeda) is considered. The microfauna and other microfloraassociated with this new species are briefly described. INTRODUCTION STRATIGRAPHY AND MICROPALAEONTOLOGY. The Darai Limestone Formation (Late Oligocene-Middle/Late The Darai Limestone Formation (eg.
