A collection of small amphibian fossils (Pelosaurus laticeps Credner) is reported from fine-grained sandstones and siltstones 130 km north of Alma Ata on the left bank of the Kurtinka river, Kazakhstan. P. laticeps is also known from lower Permian beds in Germany and France, and its identification permits the dating of the Kurtinka beds as lower Permian. On the basis of a number of features including non-labyrinthine teeth and a lack of lateral-line organs, it is suggested that the Order Phyllospondyli be revived to include these specimens and other branchiosaurs.—N. Hotton, III.  相似文献

Representatives of the bryozoan family Rhabdomesidae (the family name and derivatives, misspelled throughout the original version, are corrected in this translation), found in the Lower Kazanian deposits of the Russian Platform and the Upper Permian of the Little Caucasus and of Transcaucasia are described as new species of Rhabdomeson, Rhombopora, and Neorhombopora, n. gen. Rhombopora crassa Ulrich, 1884, from the Upper Carboniferous (Upper Pennsylvanian) of North America, is designated the type species of Neorhombopora, which is characterized by spiral budding in ihe axial zone and by the absence of megacanthopores. Although only three genera and four species of rhabdomesids are recognized in the Upper Permian of the Soviet Union, specimens are comparatively abundant, and the species seem to be good index fossils. Rhabdomeson noinskyi was identified from various localities in the Lower Kazanian of the Vyatka and Nemda river basins; Rhabdomeson floriforum occurs in the Upper Permian Gnishik suite at several localities in Transcaucasia; Rhornbopora ornata is known from the Lower Kazanian of Kirov and Arkhangel'sk Provinces, Komi ASSR; and Neorhombopora polita was found at one locality in the Lower Kazanian of Kirov Province.—H.

Mammal fossils were first discovered on Taiwan by H. Saitō in 1926. Skulls and teeth fragments of Rhinoceros, Elephas, and Stegodon were discovered subsequently in transported float; the source bed, Tertiary gravels of the Kichō formation, was found in 1940 by Kaneko. The Tso-chen area alone has yielded specimens of all fossil mammals found in any of the 13 known fossil localities on Taiwan. Occurrences of these fossils with marine shells indicate deposition in the regressing sea of the late Pliocene. Similar fossils at Tso-chen and Hsin-chu indicate possible stratigraphic correlation. --M. Russell.  相似文献

The deinocephalian pelvic girdle, of general pelycosaurian structure, is useful in systematic diagnosis. In primitive Russian deinocephalians, two contrasting pelvic patterns are recognized, one light, thin-walled, narrow, and of V-shaped cross-section, and the other massive, thick-walled, wide, and of U-shaped cross-section. The former is characteristic of two families of lightly- built, mobile land carnivores, the Eotitanosuchidae and the Brithopodidae. The Eotitanosuchidae are more primitive and pelycosaur-like, while the Brithopodidae show more variation, and specializations of large size, shallower acetabulum (related to mobility?), and re-enforcement of a weak pubic symphysis by additional processes. The massive type of pelvis characterizes large, heavily built herbivorous animals of the family Estemmenosuchidae. In general pelvic structure, the Estemmenosuchidae resemble the South African anteosaurs and tapinocephalians and the Russian tapinocephalians. In detail, however, they show a more primitive stage of evolution, overlaid by characteristic specializations which relate them more closely to the advanced Russian forms than to those of South Africa. Three new genera are erected, Biarmosaurus, fam. Eotitanosuchidae; Chthomaloporus, fam. Brithopodidae; and Molybdopygus, fam. Estemmenosuchidae. One specimen formerly referred to Deuterosaurus Yefremov 1954, and five formerly included in the type of Brithopus Yefremov 1954 are referred to Molybdopygus. The more primitive deinocephalians are from Yezhovo in the Ocher District, Perm Province, while more advanced forms are from Isheyevo, in Tataria, where-therocephalians and other South African elements are also found. It is therefore concluded that the Ochersk beds are older than those of Isheyevo and must be dated to zone I of Yefremov's system. — N. Hotton III.  相似文献

The late Permian to Triassic sediments of the Solway Basin consist of a layer-cake succession of mature, predominantly fine-grained red clastics laid down in semi-arid alluvial plain to arid sabkha and saline marginal marine or lacustrine environments. The Cumbrian Coastal Group consists of Basal Clastics and Eden Shales. The Basal Clastics are thin regolith deposits resting unconformably on all-underlying units and are composed of mixtures of angular local gravel and far-transported fine to very fine-grained sands deposited as basal lag. The Eden Shales are predominantly gypsiferous red silty mudstones, with thin very fine-grained sandstone beds, and with thick marine gypsum beds at the base, deposited at a saline lake margin. The overlying Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group consists of the Annan and Kirklinton Sandstones. The Annan Sandstones are predominantly thick-bedded, multi-storied, fine-grained mature red quartz sandstones in which coarse sand is practically absent despite channels with clay pebbles up to 30 cm in diameter. The overlying, predominantly aeolian, Kirklinton Sandstones consist of festoon cross-bedded and parallel-laminated fine-grained sandstones, almost identical to the Annan Sandstones except that mica and clay are absent. The Stanwix Shales, located above, consist of interbedded red, blue and green mudstones, siltstones, and thin very fine-grained sandstones, with gypsum layers. Although the entire succession can plausibly be interpreted as deposited in a large desert basin opening into a hypersaline marine or lacustrine embayment to the southwest, the uniformly fine-grained nature of the succession is unusual, as is the absence of paleosols, and body and trace fossils. There is almost no coarse sand even in the river channel units, and it seems likely that the basin was not only extremely arid but supplied predominantly by wind rather than water.  相似文献

This short section of Skarlato's monograph, Bivalve Mollusks of the Far Eastern Seas of the U. S. S. R. (Order Dysodonta), discusses the genus Arvella Bartsch, 1940 ms. The genus includes the species formerly assigned to Crenella. Diagnostic features of the species included in genus Arvella Bartsch are given. Vilasina Bartsch, 1940 ms is discussed, also The author states that the hinges of Vilasina clearly assign the species to the genus Crenella. The form and position of the umbo relate the species closely to the genus Arvella, though. The almost entirely smooth laminated surface distinguishes Vilasina from both genera, as does the finely serrated ventral edge of the shell. The last section discusses the genus Modiolus Lamarck, 1799. — A. W. Bellais.  相似文献

The brachiopod genus Aulacothyris Douvillé of late Jurassic age was shown to possess a brachidial loop joined to the dorsal septum during early stages of growth. This genus therefore was excluded from the family Zeilleridae and assigned to the family Dallinidae of the superfamily Terebratelloidea. On the basis of similar external and internal characters, particularly loop development, Babanova suggested that the following brachiopod genera should be combined into a tribe, Aulacothyrini trib. nov.: Aulacothyropsis, Aulacothyris, Terebrataliopsis and Kafirnigania. Babanova also described a new rhynchonellid genus which he named Bilanainella, collected from beds of Callovian age outcropping in the eastern Crimean Mountains. — A. W. Norris.  相似文献

Six new species of the genus Bythocytheremorpha, including B. centroscrobiculata, B. aksuensis, B. bicornis, B. (?) abnormis, B. torulosa, and B. ilyini, are reported and described from beds of Upper Cretaceous age (Cenomanian through Santonian) of the southwestern part of the Gissar Range, located in the southeast of Soviet Central Asia. These relatively primitive Cretaceous ostracods, which possess an intricately sculptured carapace, seem to have lived in a shallow, warm, marine environment. — R. H. Benson.  相似文献

Based on investigation of several types of Cambrian sections in eastern Yunnan, we have tentatively concluded: 1) existence of the Middle Cambrian in eastern Yunnan is definitely proved; 2) the Lower Cambrian of eastern Yunnan may be divided into four formations, of which the Mei-shu-ts'un is so named for the phosphate bearing beds; 3) judging from the lithological character we recognize that the subsiding area of eastern Yunnan is still considered in the late Early Cambrian era; 4) Paragraulos and Redlichia chinensis should not be used as zoning fossils for the Tsanglangpu and Lung-wang-miao formations, respectively; 5) the Middle Cambrian of eastern Yunnan might be correlated with the Middle Cambrian of Kueichow, because Kunming was a subsiding area in the Middle Cambrian era. – Authors.  相似文献

Great variety of lithic facies and abundance of varied faunas makes the Ordivician of this area ideal for study. Numerous detailed sections show that although many kinds of rock are exemplified the great majority are detrital in nature, with limestones constituting a lesser part. In order to conform to local stratigraphic circumstances, the Caradoc stage is redefined to include only the zones of Climacograptus wilsoni and Dicranograptus clingani. Similarly the Ashgill stage is redefined to include the zone of Pleurograptus linearis in addition to the zone of Dicellograptus complanatus. Throughout the section there are conflicts among the brachiopod, trilobite, cephalopod, and graptolite elements of the faunas concerning correct dating. In each case these have been resolved locally. Almost all the Ordovician series or formations overlap Precambrian rocks uncofformably at one place or another. This is particularly true of rocks below the Caradoc. The basal Akshal suite of limestones of questionable Tremadoc age is locally overlain by massive pink limestones which are of possible Arenig age. The Kopaly horizon believed to be of Llanvirn age is richly fossiliferous and composed of approximately 170 meters of detrital rocks with some impure limestones. This unit is considered Middle Ordovician because abundant trilobites and brachiopods resemble closely those of the overlying Karakan horizon believed to be of Llandeilo age. Despite the similarity of shelly faunas the graptolites of these two horizons differ markedly. The Beke series known as the “Green Flysch” overlies the Karakan to a thickness of 650 meters gradationally, and is believed to top the Llandeilo. The Caradoc Anderkenyn beds and the Caradoc and Ashgill Dulan-kara beds constitute sedimentary cycles from basal conglomerates to higher shales and limestones, as does a sequence including Upper Ashgill, Kyzyl-sai “Dark Flysch, ” the Chokpar horizon, and Lower Silurian Ul'kuntas limestone.—R.

Two species of subtriangular, trilete spores assigned to a new form genus, Acritosporites, occur in Cenomanian and Turonian sandstones and silty clays of central U. S. S. R. Three proximal, interradial, oval "lacunae" and one distal, circular "lacuna" characterize the genus. The author, in disagreement with Bolkhovitina, prefers not to ally A. sibiricus (Bolkh.) comb. nov. with Lygodium. — D. C. McGregor.  相似文献

Rocks exposed at Punta Cono include very fine-grained to coarse-grained tuffs, lapilli tuffs, and tuff breccias deposited in a deep marine environment. Syndepositional basaltic intrusive activity was common. In one locality a hyaloclastite-peperite complex formed. Slumped sections with fluidal basalt ‘clasts’, derived from intrusions that entered the sediment pile from below, are present elsewhere. Abundant soft-sediment folds in fine-grained laminated subaqueous fall-out tuff suggest steep gradients; these are cut by shallow channels filled with coarse-grained tuff, lapilli tuff, and rare tuff breccia. The combination of marine fossils, extreme textural immaturity, abundant slump features, and syndepositional magmatism indicates deposition upon the submarine flanks of an active volcano. Recognition of magma-wet sediment interaction is hampered in volcaniclastic rocks because of the similarity between host and intrusive fragments. Products of magma-water-sediment interactions at Punta Maria include: (1) jigsaw-puzzle hyaloclastite, formed by non-explosive hydroclastic fragmentation of magma upon contact with water and water-bearing sediment; (2) peperites, produced by mixing of magma with sediment; and (3) an unusual tuff breccia unit, the result of non-explosive mixing of ‘wisps’of lava with sediment during remobilization of an unconsolidated section. Low-explosivity magma-water-sediment interactions are favoured by relatively high hydrostatic pressures in sub-wave base settings.  相似文献

Three new species and two new genera of scleractinian corals are described from the upper Oxfordian (Jurassic) limestones of Azerbaijan. Cyathopora parva, Thecosmilia vurguni, and Thecosmilia zagaliensis are described as new. The genus Brevimaeandra (Type species: B. alizadei nov. sp.) is compared with Mycetophyllopsis and Maeandrastraea, and is placed in the Family Montlivaltiidae. Grandifavia (Type species: G. bendukidzeae, nov. sp.) is placed in the Family Faviidae and is compared with Favia and Nefocoenia. No other constituents of the fauna are listed nor are references to such lists given. A brief introduction states that the limestones of middle Oxfordian age are probably reworked reef deposits, and that the coral and sponge reefs were deposited in waters probably not over 90 m deep. No stratigraphic sections are given. — D. F. Squires.  相似文献

The author discusses the conceptual bases of the pelecypod family Allorismidae and of the Carboniferous genera Allorisma, Allorismiella, Edmondia, Edmondiella, and Pseudedmondia. There is an extensive discussion of the hinge line structures of Allorisma based on Russian specimens, and four species of the genus from the Carboniferous of the Moscow area are described. Astaf'yeva-Urbaitis overlooked Wilson's 1959 paper in which Allorisma was shown to be a junior synonym of Edmondia; as a result Astaf'yeva-Urbaitis' nomenclature is faulty. Wilson replaced Allorisma with the new generic name Wilkingia. — J. Pojeta, Jr.  相似文献

Lower Cambrian deposits of Tuva in the Asiatic part of the U. S. S. R. have yielded peculiar conical and cylindrical fossils with characters suggestive of both scyphozoan's and tetracoralS. The genera Hydroconus, Tuvaeconus, Dasyconus, and Gastroconus, each based on a single species, are erected for these solitary attached organisms, which secreted external skeletons ranging from 1ess than a centimeter to 1.5 cm in height. The genera are grouped into three families — the Hydroconidae, Dasyconidae, and Gastroconidae — differentiated primarily by the structure of the skeletal tissue. Hydroconus resembles tetracorals in having septa-like-structures interruped by a fosula like space but has canals in the central part of the skeleton that are interpreted as comparable to the radial canals of the gastrovascular system in scyphornedusae: The other genera possess anomalous features that are difficult to interpret. — H.

A new species of the subgenus Solenopora (Neosolenopora) is described from upper Eocene, yellow-green, sandy-Micaceous clay filling, a pre-Paleogene excavation in a Precambrian surface at Ingulets, Dnepropetrovsk Province, 'USSR. The new species is Solenopora (Neosolenopora) multiformis. Excellent detail of the thalli is preserved and considerable anatomical and morphological detail is presented The discovery of this form constitutes the third report of Solenopora in the Cenozoic of Western Eurojie. The plants are associated with large nurnbetS of right valves from the pelecypod, Ostrea callifera Lam var. sokolovi Klushn. Other invertebrates associated with algal remains are Spondylus, Serpula and Nummulites. Paleoecological interpretation of the occurrence of the algal remains is given as a rocky shoal inhabited by a biocoenosis of sublittoral habit in depths of not more than 10–20 m. — F. M.

Ammonoids of early Upper Scythian age are described from three localities in the Northern Caucasus. No data on relative stratigraphic position is given, but some forms are common to the different exposures and the author concludes that all the ammonoids are Upper Scythian (Olenekian). Affinites with Pacific faunas are stressed and the faunules are correlated with the Owenites zone of North America. Two new genera (Parinyoites and Subowenites) and three new species (Dieneroceras caucasicum, Parinyoites ,mastykensis, Subovvenites slavini)are proposed. Flemingites pulcher Waagen, Wyomingites aplanatus (White), Parussuria compressa (Hyatt and Smith), and Owenites koeneni (Hyatt and Smith) are described and figured. Parinyoites differs from Metinyoites in having rounded saddles and it lacks the keel and costation of Inyoites. Subowenites has reticulate ornamentation, unlike Owenites, Parowenites, and Pseudowenites; it also lacks the adventive notches in the median saddle of Pseudowenites. --E. T. Tozer.  相似文献

The discovery in the Upper Devonian (Fammenian) beds of the southern Urals region (Mugodzhany Mts) of a clymeniid goniatite with radial spines along the venter brings to light a type of sculp - ture not previously recorded in this group. In other surface sculpture and in suture pattern the shell is indistinguishable from Platyclymenia. A new subgenus Spinoclymenia is erected, with Platyclymenia (Spinoclymenia) aculeata n. sp. as the type. --M. Gordon, Jr.  相似文献

Tabulate corals, including new species of Cyrtophyllum (C. elegantum, C. altaicum, C. vulgaris), Propora (P. proheliolitoides), and Plasmoporella (P. altaica) aid in defining Upper Ordovician strata of Gornyy Altay region; in addition, new species of Heliolites (H. pachycanaliculoides), Favosites (F. karagemensis), Pachyfavosites (P. bazhenovae), Squameofavosites (S. karagemensis, S. altaicum), and Hexismia (H. asiatica) form part of a rich Late Silurian fauna within the same region.—T.
