  • A New Early Jurassic Gastropod from Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic – an Ancient Example of Holoplanktonic Gastropods
    A new Early Jurassic gastropod from Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic an ancient example of holoplanktonic gastropods ALEXANDER NÜTZEL, SIMON SCHNEIDER, PETER HÜLSE, SIMON R.A. KELLY, LAURA TILLEY & REINHART VEIT A new, most probably holoplanktonic gastropod genus and species, Freboldia fluitans Nützel & Schneider, is reported from the Early Jurassic (Pliensbachian) of Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic. Its shell is very thin, small, with a maxi- mum diameter of 8 mm, inflated, planispiral and almost bilaterally symmetric, with deep umbilici. Hundreds of speci- mens of Freboldia occur in the matrix of transported siltstone concretions. In summary, these characteristics suggest a holoplanktonic lifestyle for Freboldia. Similar shells are present in the modern holoplanktonic gastropod family Limacinidae and in Cretaceous Bellerophinidae, and the new species is assigned to the latter family. The oldest records of holoplanktonic or pelagic gastropods are represented now by seven Early Jurassic genera: Coelodiscus, Tatediscus, Costasphaera, Pterotrachea, Simoniceras, Globorilusopsis and the new genus Freboldia. These are attributed to five different clades, which made their appearance at approximately the same time. We thus speculate that Early Jurassic an- oxia triggered the rapid evolution of the holoplanktonic lifestyle in gastropods. • Key words: Jurassic, Canadian Arctic, pelagic holoplanktonic gastropoda, Pliensbachian, anoxia.

  • Preservational History of Compressed Jurassic Ammonites from Southern Germany
    N. Jb. Geol. Paliiont. Abh. 152 3 307—356 | Stuttgart, November 1976 Fossildiagenese Nr. 2 0 9 Preservational history of compressed Jurassic ammonites from Southern Germany By A. Seilacher, F. Andalib, G. Dietl and H. Gocht With 20 figures in the text Seilacher, A., Andalib, F., D ietl, G. 8c G ocht, H.: Preservational history of compressed Jurassic ammonites from Southern Germany. — N. Jb. Geol. Paliiont. Abh., 152, 307—356, Stuttgart 1976. Abstract: Preservational features express the varying time relationships between shell solution, compaction and cementation processes during early diagenesis. In many cases they correlate better with the depositional environments than with the present lithologies of the enclosing rocks. K ey words: Ammonitida, fossilization, diagenesis, deformation, Jurassic; SW-German mesozoic hills. Zusammenfassung: Erhaltungszustande definierter Gehausetypen spiegeln das zeit- liche Verhaltnis von Schalenlosung, Kompaktion und Zementation wahrend der Friih- diagenese. Da sie eher vom Ablagerungsmilieu als vom Stoflbestand des fertigen Gestcins abhangen, konnen sie als Fazies-Indikatoren eingesetzt werden. The beauty of fossils is one of the main attractions in paleontology; but at the same time it tends to distract from the wealth of geologic in­ formation that is encoded in the “poor” specimens. The present study tries to tap this reservoir by using ammonites so poorly preserved that they would have been rejected by most collectors.

Acta Geologica Polonica, 67 (1), 31–46. Warszawa. A juvenile specimen of the ammonite Pseudaspidoceras from the Early Turonian of the Goulmima area in the Province of Er-Rachida in south-eastern Morocco shows clear evidence of predation by a tooth-bearing verte- brate. Most of the body chamber is missing, as a result of post-burial compactional crushing. The adapertural part of the shell on the left flank of the surviving fragment of body chamber bears six circular punctuations; the right flank four. These are interpreted as the product of a single bite by a mosasauroid, probably aTethysaurus .

  • Lower and Middle Jurassic Ammonoids of the Shemshak Group in Alborz, Iran and Their Palaeobiogeographical and Biostratigraphical Importance
    Lower and Middle Jurassic ammonoids of the Shemshak Group in Alborz, Iran and their palaeobiogeographical and biostratigraphical importance KAZEM SEYED−EMAMI, FRANZ T. FÜRSICH, MARKUS WILMSEN, MAHMOUD R. MAJIDIFARD, and ALI SHEKARIFARD Seyed−Emami, K., Fürsich, F.T., Wilmsen, M., Majidifard, M.R., and Shekarifard, A. 2008. Lower and Middle Jurassic ammonoids of the Shemshak Group in Alborz, Iran and their palaeobiogeographical and biostratigraphical importance. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 53 (2): 237–260. The Shemshak Group at Shahmirzad (northern Iran) is characterized by the most frequent and extensive marine intercala− tions and contains the most abundant and diverse ammonite faunas hitherto known from the Lower and lower Middle Ju− rassic strata of the Alborz Range. So far, 62 ammonite taxa have been recorded from this area, including 25 taxa from ear− lier studies. The taxa belong to the families Cymbitidae, Echioceratidae, Amaltheidae, Dactylioceratidae, Hildoceratidae, Graphoceratidae, Hammatoceratidae, Erycitidae, and Stephanoceratidae with the new species Paradumortieria elmii and Pleydellia (P.?) ruttneri. The fauna represents the Late Sinemurian, Late Pliensbachian, Toarcian, Aalenian, and Early Bajocian. Palaeobiogeographically, it is closely related to the Northwest European (Subboreal) Province, and exhibits only minor relations with the Mediterranean (Tethyan) Province.

An extension built in the 1860s added a large gallery and mezzanine level with further gallery and storage space added in the 1980s. Collections are onsite in displays and a main storeroom. Size of collections 1,000-1,200 fossils. Onsite records Information is in an Adlib CMS database transcribed from several previous electronic systems and various paper documents, such as MDA and other index card systems, Gift Books, Accession Registers, free text catalogues, inventories and listings. Fossils are catalogued with other geological material as a series of numbered boxes with a list compiled in the 1980s by James Williams (1944- 2009). An online catalogue is available at: https://dgc-web.adlibhosting.com/home but does not yet contain fossil entries. Collection highlights 1.

  • Ammonites from the Early Pliensbachian of the Furlo Pass (Marche, Italy): Biostratigraphic and Paleobiogeographic Implications

Nannarone, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Perugia, Piazza Università 1, I-06123 Perugia, Italy. M. Bilotta, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Perugia, Piazza Università 1, I-06123 Perugia, Italy; [email protected] KEY WORDS - Ammonites, Taxonomy, Biostratigraphy, Paleobiogeography, Tethys, Early Jurassic. ABSTRACT - The ammonite assemblages found in the spathic Fu3 shell beds (lumachellas) of the Grilli Quarry (Furlo Pass, Umbria- Marche Apennines, central Italy) supplement the previous studies on the early Pliensbachian (Carixian) in this area, allowing to obtain a quite varied taxonomic, biostratigraphic and paleobiogeographic framework. The abundant documentation of the three lumachellas forming the Fu3 fauna (Fu3a, Fu3b1 and Fu3b2) belongs to the second Apennine biozone of the early Pliensbachian: this unit was formerly indicated as Miltoceras sellae Taxon Range Biozone, but here is redefined in a formally more correct way as Miltoceras Interval Biozone. Among the several ammonites collected, many new taxa are described: the new species Miltoceras furlense (family Coeloceratidae, subfamily Coeloceratinae), the new genus Spiniclaviceras for the new species S. spirale (family Coeloceratidae, subfamily Dubariceratinae), the new genus Paramorphites with the new species P. acutiventris (family Polymorphitidae, subfamily Polymorphitinae), and the new genus Sphenoacanthites (family Sinuiceratidae) instituted for the Tunisian forms erroneously reported as Gorgheiceras costotuberculatum and G.

Two localities, 25 the Maria Pares and the Vale das Fontes sections, were sampled. The material spans the 26 Dactylioceras polymorphum, Hildaites levisoni and Hildoceras bifrons ammonite 27 biozones. The samples produced relatively low diversity dinoflagellate cyst floras which 28 are typical of those from coeval European successions; the most abundant species is 29 Luehndea spinosa. The other forms encountered were Mancodinium semitabulatum, 1 30 Mendicodinium microscabratum, Mendicodinium spinosum subsp. spinosum, 31 Mendicodinium sp., Nannoceratopsis ambonis, Nannoceratopsis gracilis and 32 Nannoceratopsis senex. Dinoflagellate cysts typically dominate throughout the 33 Dactylioceras polymorphum ammonite biozone; they significantly decreased in relative 34 proportions in the overlying Hildaites levisoni and Hildoceras bifrons ammonite 35 biozones.
