内蒙古海拉尔盆地白垩纪生物地层研究进展

兴安岭群龙江组产Ephemeropsistrisetalis等热河生物群分子,九峰山组产富含Cicatricosisporites,Pilosisporites,Concavissimisporites的孢粉组合,兴安岭群龙江组、甘河组火山岩同位素年龄为105-141Ma,证实兴安岭群的时代为早白垩世早期;扎赉诺尔群中以Cypridea,Limnocypridea,Ilyocyprimorpha和Hailaeria等属为代表的介形类动物群,以Nyktericysta,Vesperopsis等属为代表的NV浮游植物群,以富含Lygopodiaceae科各属孢子,尤其是Cicatricosisporites高含量的孢粉组合,代表了中国北方早白垩世特有的动、植物群面貌,而其中Asteropollis,Tricolpites和Polyporites等被子植物花粉化石的发现,这一事实似乎暗示了扎赉诺尔群的时代为早白垩世中、晚期;青元岗组产以Talicypridea,Altanicypris,Chinocypridea和Harbinia为代表的介形类动物群,具有显著的地域性特点,可与松辽盆地四方台组对比,其时代为晚白垩世Maastrichtian期。     

渤海海域渤中34-A地区古近系介形类组合特征及沉积环境

在渤海海域渤中34-A地区东营组二段下部,发现了以渤海地方属种具棘绍曾介Shaozengia echinata、腹瘤绍曾介S.ventrinodosa、鼓包绍曾介S.gibbosa等为主的大量介形类化石,指示沉积水体环境为淡水-微咸水的滨湖-浅湖;在沙河街组一段上部发现了指示沙河街组一段上亚段存在的李家广北介Guangbeinia lijiaensis亚组合,亚组合发育有椭圆西营介Xiyingia elliptica、高西营介X.alta等大个体、高梯形的介形类,反映当时浅湖-半深湖的沉积环境。通过东营组二段下部与沙河街组一段上部两个介形类发育段的追踪,重新厘定了研究区东营组的地层界面,并确定了沙河街组一段的连续存在。     

A REINTERPRETATION OF THE ONTOGENY OF THE ASCOCARP OF SPECIES OF THE ERYSIPHACEAE

A study of four species of Erysiphaceae (Uncinula salicis, Podosphaera leucotricha, Erysiphe cichoracearum, and Microsphaera diffusa) revealed that the binucleate stages of the ascocarp are initiated in a similar manner to those of Diporotheca rhizophila Gordon & Shaw. The “appendages” developing on immature ascocarps are considered to be receptive hyphae. Appendages characteristic of mature ascocarps are produced much later. Lysis of certain centrum cells occurs, and asci are initiated from some of the remaining binucleate centrum cells. Resorption of centrum cells by the asci is supported by this investigation, corroborating Björling's earlier studies on Erysiphe graminis.
