Taenidium at the lower Barremian El Hoyo dinosaur tracksite (Teruel,Spain): Assessing palaeoenvironmental conditions for the invertebrate community     

《Cretaceous Research》2016

An analysis of lower Barremian invertebrate trace fossils at the El Hoyo dinosaur tracksite (Teruel, Spain) was conducted in order to interpret the macrobenthic tracemaker community and the palaeoenvironmental conditions during bioturbation. Abundant bioturbation structures are characterized by meniscate, cylindrical, straight to sinuous, unbranched epichnia, showing the absence of lining, mantle and longitudinal striations. These structures are included in the ichnogenus Taenidium. Burrow width, distance between menisci, type of their fill, and general shape, allow for identification of the ichnospecies Taenidium serpentinum and T. barretti. Dominance to near exclusiveness of Taenidium in the invertebrate trace fossil assemblage suggests assignation to the Scoyenia ichnofacies. This agrees with the presence of vertebrate tracks. Accordingly, a transitional zone between terrestrial and nonmarine aquatic environments, i.e., floodplain areas adjacent to rivers and affected by low energy conditions, could correspond to the El Hoyo site. The pervasive ichnofabric of Taenidium reveals an opportunistic behaviour of the tracemaker, bioturbating rapidly after deposition; bioturbation took place in moist to wet substrates—softgrounds—in shallow tiers, during favourable yet episodic conditions. The opportunistic strategy might owe to a rapid accumulation of nutrients buried within the sediment during alluvial discharges. After bioturbation, minor erosions during fluvial discharges or subaerial exposure may have caused differences in the preservation of the Taenidium.  相似文献   

A New Ootype of Dinosaur Egg (Faveoloolithidae: Duovallumoolithus shangdanensis oogen. et oosp. nov.) from the Late Cretaceous in the Shangdan Basin,Shaanxi Province,China     

ZHENG Tingting  BAI Yi  WANG Qiang  ZHU Xufeng  FANG Kaiyong  YAO Yuan  ZHAO Yongqiang  WANG Xiaolin 《《地质学报》英文版》2018,92(3):897-903

A new ootype collected from the Upper Cretaceous Lijiacun Formation in the Shangdan Basin, Shaanxi Province is described in this paper. Based on general external shape, size, eggshell thickness and honeycomb‐like eggshell microstructure, eggs are referable to the oofamily Faveoloolithidae. Compared with other members of Faveoloolithidae, specimens described in this paper show special characteristics: adjacent pores are usually separated by two eggshell units between which often develop interspaces; columnar eggshell units are relatively closely arranged in radial view. According to these characteristics, we erect a new oogenus and a new oospecies: Duovallumoolithus shangdanensis oogen. et oosp. nov. The new discovery expands the diversity of Faveoloolithidae.  相似文献

笔者于西藏仲巴县塔惹增地区一带前人划分的一套早白垩世早期则弄群中发现了具有典型意义的、代表早白垩世晚期的Ampullina xainzaensis Yu,Ampullina cf. larteli Landerer,Tylostoma cf. brasilianus Maury,Pseudamaura cf. subfournaeti (Pcelincev),Gyrodes gaultiana Orbigny,Leviathania cf. gerassimovi(Pcelincev),Gymnentome cf. pizcuetana(Vilanova)等腹足类化石,以及较为丰富的中圆笠虫Mesorbitolina sp.和达克斯虫Daxia sp。表明在该区则弄群中至少有一部分以前没有被识别出的早白垩世晚期地层。通过岩石组合特征、基本层序、生物化石时代对比,将该套地层归属于捷嘎组。这一地层的确定为冈底斯带白垩系地层划分对比、地层格架建立提供了重要的依据,并丰富了该地层的古生物资料,且为中生代盆地的演化历史、古地理轮廓的确定提供了新的基础资料。  相似文献   

冀北滦平盆地九佛堂组—沙海组叶肢介化石的发现与陆相建阶问题的讨论     

牛绍武  辛后田 《地质通报》2018,37(10):1801-1819

2007—2008年,在滦平县西瓜园东滦河南岸发现九佛堂组底部砾岩与西瓜园组连续的直接接触关系,其后,又在滦平以西巴克什营至滦平公路鹞子梁发现九佛堂组底部砾岩鹞子梁砾岩,并向西追索到拉海沟北的得胜岭北山,九佛堂组剖面就是从得胜岭北山鹞子梁砾岩底部开始向北测制。在滦平县以西的山湾、杨树沟、小乔木沟、德胜岭等地都采到了叶肢介化石,特别是在该组下部采集到了阜新东方叶肢介和九佛堂东方叶肢介;顶部采集到了沙海组的典型分子延吉叶肢介属的几个种,证明在滦平盆地西瓜园组之上、阜新组(青石砬组)之下确有九佛堂组—沙海组,解决了长期以来有关滦平盆地"大西瓜园组"或"大九佛堂组"的争论。至此,大北沟组、大店子组、西瓜园组、九佛堂组与沙海组的叶肢介化石组合序列初步建立起来。结合滦平盆地晚期中生代沉积盆地演化,讨论有关陆相建阶问题,结合前人资料,冀北-辽西晚期中生代自下而上拟初步建立三宝营阶(土城子阶)、榆树下阶(大北沟阶)、张家沟阶(原大店子组)、李营阶(义县阶)、鹞子梁阶(九佛堂阶)-清河门阶(沙海阶)、海州阶和"孙家湾阶",以供今后讨论有关陆相建阶问题时参考。  相似文献

本文系统总结了湖北宜昌地区省级及省级以上地质遗迹资源,认为该地区地质遗迹分布规律主要可概括为两个方面,一是受控于地形和河流的综合作用,以各类地貌景观遗迹为特点;二是各个地质时代地层剖面齐全,古生物化石产地聚集。其中可归类为世界级地质遗迹点为5个,均以“古生物化石”为核心,分别为三峡地区埃迪卡拉生物群、长阳寒武纪清江生物群、黄花场中奥陶统大坪阶“金钉子”、王家湾上奥陶统赫南特阶“金钉子”和远安三叠系南漳—远安动物群。立足于此,文中首次详细总结了这些地质遗迹点的化石代表、科学及科普意义,并从地质遗迹自身保护和应用方式、地质遗迹载体、地学研学、地质文化的传播和文创科普产品5个方面对古生物地质遗迹资源的发展模式进行了详细探讨,从而为宜昌地区全域地质遗迹开发和旅游提供新思路。  相似文献

Fossil nothofagaceous leaves from the Eocene of western Antarctica and their bearing on the origin, dispersal and systematics of Nothofagus     

Li HaoMin  Zhou ZheKun 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2007,50(10):1525-1535

Fossil leaves resembling Nothofagaceae have been investigated from the Eocene of western Antarctica and a new form genus Nothofagofolia is proposed for these kinds of fossils. Some new specimens belonging to this form genus are described. They were collected from the Fossil Hill locality of Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, South Shetland Islands, western Antarctica. Two new species, two new combinations and an unnamed species are reported. A number of published Nothofagus leaf fossils from the same locality are discussed and revised. As a result of these studies of Nothofagus leaf morphology, we conclude that (1) Nothofagus probably originated in high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere during the middle-late Late Cretaceous and diversified, dispersed gradually to the lower latitudes of the same hemisphere; (2) leaf morphological characters are significant for the systematics of the family Nothofagaceae, especially at the intrageneric level; and (3) extant species of Nothofagus known from southern temperate areas have more primitive leaf morphological characters and lower leaf ranks than those from tropical mountains as well as those of the Fagaceae and Betulaceae.

我国贵州瓮安陡山沱期磷块岩中的磷酸盐化球状化石是近年来受到广泛关注的一类微体化石。对于它们的生物亲缘认识，长期以来存在着动植物之争，特别是近年来一些学者发现，部分磷酸盐化球状化石内部保存了2、4、8、16等几何级数增长的细胞特征，根据化石的大小、细胞排列方式和表面纹饰可与现生甲壳类动物的胚胎比较，认为它们很可能是运动胚胎化石，但另一些学者却持截然不同的观点，认为它们不是动物胚胎化石的观察与研究，同时结合相同层位岩石薄片所发现的大量同类化石微细结构的对比。特别是把磷块岩中的化石与燧石中发现的化石详细比较，对一些磷酸盐化球状化石的归属和亲缘关系进行探讨，研究表明贵州瓮安陡山沱期燧石中发现的化石详细比较，对一些磷酸盐化球状化石的归属和亲缘关系进行探讨。研究表明贵州瓮安陡山沱期磷酸盐化微体化石群具有多样性特征，包含不同门类，是迄今为止全球保存最好的晚新元古代磷酸盐化的化石库。  相似文献
