New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Bulletin 60. 1 THE CONODONT NEOGNATHODUS BOTHROPS MERRILL, 1972 AS THE MARKER FOR THE LOWER BOUNDARY OF THE MOSCOVIAN STAGE (MIDDLE PENNSYLVANIAN) ALEXANDER S. ALEKSEEV1 AND NATALIA V. GOREVA 2 1 Department of Paleontology, Geological Faculty, Moscow State University, Russia, email: aaleks@geol. msu.ru; 2 Geological institute of Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia, email: [email protected] Abstract—The Moscovian Stage constitutes the Middle Pennsylvanian Series of the Carboniferous System, but a biostratigraphic marker and GSSP for it have not yet been designated. The exact position of the Moscovian boundary cannot be defined properly because in the type area the basal Vereian unconformably overlies the Mississippian limestone or the alluvial and lagoonal Aza Formation of the uppermost Bashkirian. The Task Group to establish a GSSP close to the existing Bashkirian-Moscovian boundary suggested several potential markers among foraminifers and conodonts, but the search for a marker near traditional base of the global Moscovian Stage has stalled. It may be more productive to search for FADs in the lower Moscovian, above the traditional base, to designate the lower boundary of the stage. Relatively rich Vereian and Kashirian conodont assemblages have been recovered from the southwest Moscow Basin, as well as from the Oka-Tsna Swell. The most complete information on the distribution of conodonts in the Vereian- Kashirian boundary interval was obtained from the Yambirno section (Oka-Tsna Swell). The greatest change in conodont assemblages does not occur near the level of the traditional base of the Moscovian, but stratigraphically higher.

(ipmontañ[email protected]). Keywords — Serpukhovian, Bashkirian, biostratigraphy, palaeoecology. Two different tectono-stratigraphic domains are recognised in the Cantabrian Mountains, Asturian-Leo- nese (Cantabrian Zone) and Palentian (Palentian Zone). The area under investigation belongs to the south- ern part of the Palentian Domain and attention is focused on the Upper Viséan to lowermost Bashkirian limestones at the village of La Lastra in northern Palencia. A new geological map of the Palentian Zone is accompanied by a more detailed map centred on La Lastra. The Barcaliente Limestone Formation (Ser- pukhovian to lowermost Bashkirian) occurs in the overturned limb of a recumbent anticline which consti- tutes the head of a south-verging major thrust unit, the Carrionas Thrust Sheet (Palentian Zone).

  • Brass Bands of Ireland
    Brass Bands of Ireland St Patrick’s Brass Band, Waterford a historical directory Gavin Holman 1st edition, January 2019 Introduction Of the many brass bands that have flourished in Ireland over the last 200 years very few have documented records covering their history. This directory is an attempt to collect together information about such bands and make it available to all. Over 1,370 bands are recorded here (93 currently active), with some 356 additional cross references for alternative or previous names. This volume is an extracted subset of my earlier “Brass Bands of the British Isles – a Historical Directory” (2018). Where "active" dates are given these indicate documented appearances - the bands may well have existed beyond those dates quoted. Bands which folded for more than 1 year (apart from during WW1 or WW2) with a successor band being later formed are regarded as "extinct". “Still active” indicates that there is evidence for continuous activity for that band in the previous years up to that date. Minor name variations, e.g. X Brass Band, X Silver Band, X Silver Prize Band, are generally not referenced, unless it is clear that they were separate entities. Various bands have changed their names several times over the years, making tracking them down more difficult. Where there is more than one instance of a specific brass band’s name, this is indicated by a number suffix – e.g. (1), (2) to indicate the order of appearance of the bands. Ballyclare Brass Band currently holds the record for Irish bands with (3). If the location is not inherent or obvious from the band's name, then the particular village or town is indicated, otherwise only the relevant county.

Leitrim Email: [email protected] Dedication This audit is dedicated to the memory our colleague and friend, Matthew Parkes, who passed away suddenly in the days prior to completion of the audit’s work. Matthew was an exceptional geologist with a keen eye for detail and an expertise in numerous sub- disciplines of geology. He was inquiring in the field, had huge output in terms of peer reviewed papers, and gave tirelessly to students of geology, of any age, with diligence, care, and passion. Matthew was probably the driving force behind Geoheritage in Ireland, having initially worked in the mid-1990’s on the then-blossoming Irish Geological Heritage Programme in GSI, and latterly as curator in the Natural History Museum. Matthew worked on and co-authored every one of the reports for the twenty four County Geological Heritage Audits completed thus far in Ireland. This Geological Heritage Audit was funded by the Heritage Council and Leitrim County Council. 2 Contents Section 1 – Main Report Executive Summary 7 1.
