A New Fossil Scorpionfly (Insecta: Mecoptera: Holcorpidae) with Extremely Elongate Male Genitalia from Northeastern China     

LI Lei  Chungkun SHIH  WANG Chen  REN Dong 《《地质学报》英文版》2017,91(3):797-805

Since Holcorpa maculosa was first described in 1878, it has attracted lots of attention due to its extremely elongate abdominal segments from the sixth to the eighth. Fossil records of family Holcorpidae are very rare, comprising two species in one genus represented by three fossil specimens, resulting in limited knowledge on the structure and function of holcorpid’s unique male organ, as well as its evolutionary relationship with other scorpionflies. Herein we describe a new genus with a new species, Conicholcorpa stigmosa gen. et sp. nov., of the Holcorpidae from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation near Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia, China. This is the first holcorpid documented from the Daohugou locality, albeit two previously reported species with extremely elongate male organs but deemed as Family Incertae sedis. C. stigmosa gen. et sp. nov. is the earliest holcorpid hitherto, extending its existence from the Early Eocene to the Middle Jurassic by 114 million years and providing one more early case of presenting exaggerated male body parts for sexual display and/or selection. Our analysis supports the sister relationship between Holcorpidae and Orthophlebiidae. Our results not only enhance our knowledge of the morphology of Holcorpidae but also elucidate the relationship of known species of this family.  相似文献   

Organochlorine pesticides in marine environment of Quanzhou Bay, Southeast China     

Qiuke SU Shihua QI Chengxi WU Julia E. Burnet Huafeng LIU Min FANG Jun LI Gan ZHANG 《中国地球化学学报》2006,25(B08):190-190

As one of the most important buildup of persistent organic pollutants （POPs）, organochlorine pesticides （OCPs） have received more and more attention. Samples including sediments, water and marine products were collected. In the lab, nineteen types of organochlorine pesticides were tested using GC-ECD following US-EPA 8080A method. In the top sediments, the concentration of HCHs was 0.1-3.08 ng/g and the concentration of DDTs was 3.53-75.83 ng/g. In the bottom sediments, the concentration of HCHs was 0.1-3.59 ng/g and the concentration of DDTs was 1.56-81.68 ng/g. The concentration ranges of HCHs and DDTs in sea water were 1.31-9.96 ng/L and 0.78-6.51 ng/L, respectively. And the concentration ranges of HCHs and DDTs in land surface water were 7.04-14.08 ng/L and 3.82-9.66 ng/L, respectively. The residual levels of HCHs and DDTs in marine product samples ranges from 0.1 to 0.6 ng/g and from 0.57 to 85.02 ng/g, respectively. In this thesis, discussions of DDTs and HCHs in sediment, water and marine product samples were made. The following are the main results and conclusions： A general decreasing trend was found from the inner to outer sectors of the Bay for both sediment and water samples. The distribution of OCPs depends greatly on the different properties pertaining to them. The topography, redox, hydrodynamic condition as well as other factors also play an important role in controlling the distribution and fate of OCPs.  相似文献

贵州瓮安埃迪卡拉（震旦）纪陡山沱期磷酸盐化生物群具有生物多样性特征，包含有蓝菌、多细胞藻类、疑源类、后生动物休眠卵及胚胎、可疑的海绵动物、管状后生动物和微小两侧对称的后生动物等化石类型，是迄今为止全球保存最为完好的晚前寒武纪磷质化石库。瓮安陡山沱组磷质岩提供了早期生命从简单到复杂进化过程中的重要化石记录，展示了埃迪卡拉生物群出现以前早期多细胞生物的生命景观，为研究晚前寒武纪生物圈面貌提供了一个重要的埋葬学窗口。近来，通过醋酸浸解法，在贵州瓮安陡山沱期含磷地层中发现了大量疑似后生动物的实体化石（包含了所有已经报道的类型或与之相似的化石类型）新材料，为了解这些化石的内部构造特征，将一些化石包埋后制作了定向薄片。基于上述化石新材料，结合定向薄片的研究和前人的研究成果，本文详细介绍了瓮安生物群中后生动物化石研究的新进展和存在的问题。  相似文献   

皖南地区震旦系古介形类化石的发现及其意义     

陈冠宝  张蓉  杨清和 《安徽地质》2012,(2):89-92

皖南地区下震旦统蓝田组(相当于陡山沱阶)下部植物宏体藻层内发现古介形类化石是一个重大发现。它是已知古介形类产出的最低层位,将原初见于早寒武世地层梅树村阶底部下延至早震旦世地层陡山沱阶下部(时限前溯约130Ma)。文中根据古介形类化石的结构、构造、壳质及软体等特征,将其归于动物分类系统的Arthropoda—Crustacea—Ostracoida—Archaeostaidae—Sinogella(gen.nov.)—S.lantianensis(gen.et sp.nov.);并作为讨论Sinogella种族发生演化史的依据,认为在自然选择支配下古介形类历经具节肢—外套膜—几丁质外壳的重要发展阶段,其中尤以外套膜的出现最为重要,其功能是保护介虫躯干,继后,外套膜分泌几丁质外壳,形成新属种Sinogella lantianensis(gen.et sp.nov.)等。这些化石的发现为原称"蓝田植物群"更名为"蓝田生物群"提供了确凿的动物化石证据。  相似文献   

辽宁西部及邻区中侏罗世燕辽生物群脊椎动物化石研究进展     

郭相奇  韩建刚  姬书安 《地质通报》2012,31(6):928-935

近年来,在中国辽宁西部、内蒙古东南部、河北北部中侏罗世髫髻山组和九龙山组中发现了丰富的脊椎动物、无脊椎动物和植物化石,这一化石群被称为燕辽生物群。燕辽生物群已正式命名的脊椎动物26属28种,包括鱼类1属1种、两栖类4属4种、有鳞类1属1种、翼龙类10属12种、兽脚类恐龙5属5种、哺乳类5属5种。燕辽生物群的脊椎动物化石对研究长羽毛兽脚类恐龙的演化、翼龙类的分类演化、滑体两栖类的分异等具有重要意义。虽然辽宁西部及邻区燕辽生物群脊椎动物的多样性不及同一地区早白垩世的热河生物群,但它为认识这一地区晚中生代生物群的演替提供了极为重要的依据。  相似文献

A new stone crab, Neolithodes brodiei sp.nov., known from an ovigerous female taken in 455 fm (832 m) on the Campbell Plateau, is characterised and distinguished from the five species previously recognised. It is morphologically close to the North Atlantic N. agassizii and the South African N. asperrimus.  相似文献

Spectral analyses of water‐level oscillations in Wellington Harbour during the 1960 Chilean and 1964 Alaskan tsunamis are given. The results are used to define the periods for the three longest‐period characteristic oscillation modes. Some implications for future tsunamis are discussed.  相似文献   

Two New“Notostracans”,Chenops gen.nov.and Jeholops gen.nov. (Crustacea:Branchiopoda:?Notostraca) from the Yixian Formation,Northeastern China   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Thomas A. HEGNA  and REN Dong 《《地质学报》英文版》2010,84(4):886-894

<正>The Early Cretaceous Jehol biota of northeastern China contains a diverse group of notostracans, including two genera,Chenops and Jeholops,described here.Chenops is characterized by a combination of an ovate carapace,narrow anal plate,equant distal endites and endopod on the anterior thoracic limbs.In addition to the new species,Chenops yixianensis,the genus also provisionally includes Prolepidurus oblongus Oleynikov, 1968.Jeholops,however,is monotypic,represented by the new species Jeholops hongi.It is characterized by a combination of kazacharthran and notostracan features unique to this taxon.Both new genera are provisionally placed in the taxon Notostraca.More detailed work exploring the morphology of exceptionally-preserved branchiopod crustaceans is needed.The difficulties in placing fossil notostracans into a phylogenetic framework are discussed.  相似文献   

贵州瓮安埃迪卡拉系陡山沱组上段底部和下段的遗迹化石     

王约  徐一帆 《现代地质》2007,21(3):469-478

贵州瓮安地区埃迪卡拉系陡山沱组上段产有保存良好的具有生物多样化特征、包含多种门类磷质球粒状化石库的“瓮安生物群”,成为地球早期生物特别是早期后生动物和动物胚胎化石研究的焦点地区。描述了产自瓮安陡山沱组“瓮安生物群”产出层位底部和之下层位的3个后生动物遗迹：Wenganichnus nanbaoensis（ichnogen. et ichnosp. nov.）为具有衬里和半月形回填构造的微弯曲的潜穴管; Doushantuoichnus curvatus（ichnogen. et ichnosp. nov. ）为具有细小横纹脊的中沟和两排呈叠瓦状排列的小羽叶状凸起的表生迹;?Planolites ichnosp. 为任意弯曲的、与围岩岩性略有区别的长线状底迹突起。遗迹化石的形态特征表明它们的造迹生物为沿一定方向运动的、背部与腹部以及前部与后部分化的、两侧对称的蠕虫状后生动物,而非沉积构造。“瓮安生物群”中后生动物的卵和胚胎化石可能系不易保存的软躯体动物的卵和胚胎在水动力作用下与沉积物一起被搬运、沉积,埋藏于较高能浅水环境并处于休眠状态,且被保存。  相似文献
