湖南邵东佘田桥的泥盆纪竹节石

本文描述湖南邵东佘田桥的泥盆系棋梓桥组到佘田桥组底部的珠胚节石群和等环节石群化石,共10属13种,其中5新种:Nowakia hunanensis sp.nov., Viriatella qiziqiaoensis sp.nov., Viriatellina sulcata sp.nov., Stylionowakia hunanensis sp. nov.和 Costulatostyliolina minuta sp.nov., 并讨论有关的古生态。 文章还讨论了棋梓桥组的层位和湖南中、上泥盆统的界线问题。笔者认为湖南的佘田桥组与棋梓桥组的分界线即是中、上泥盆统的界线,其与西欧弗拉斯阶与吉维特阶的界线相当。     

湖南锡矿山剖面晚泥盆世底栖介形类及其大灭绝

研究的底栖介形类化石采自湖南锡矿山剖面晚泥盆世地层,共30属61种,含1新属,2未定属,13新种和20未定种。在晚泥盆世F/F生物集群灭绝事件之前和以后,根据底栖介形类的演化特征,分为正常期,包括3—5层;灭绝期,即6层;残存期,包括7,8,9a-c,11—13,15层;和复苏期,即20层以上地层。在湖南锡矿山上泥盆统剖面上,底栖介形类动物群遭受到F/F灭绝事件的重创,正常期的37种中仅11种在残存期中幸免于难,24种在本剖面上消失,灭绝种约占65%。对于F/F生物集群灭绝事件的发生机制,虽有多种解释,但造成底栖介形类灭绝的主要原因更可能是缺(贫)氧或含毒环境和气候变化。根据底栖介形类生态组合特征,正常期的介形类动物群代表近岸浅水开阔海台地环境;复苏期的介形类动物群可能代表半局限海台地环境。根据正常期、残存期和复苏期介形类动物群的组成特征,它们所生存的海底为正常的含氧环境。     

南京附近中三叠世海相介形类

本文首次报道了南京附近中三叠统中的海相介形类化石共4属7种,其中1新种Judahella longtanensis和2未定属种Gen.et sp.1及Gen.et sp.2;与介形类化石共生的还有海相瓣鳃类化石Myophoria(Costatoria)goldfussi mansuyi Hsü.此介形类动物群与贵州郎岱中三叠统关岭组的非常相似。     

新疆西准噶尔晚泥盆世洪古勒楞组介形类生物地层

新疆西准噶尔上泥盆统洪古勒楞组产出丰富的介形类化石,本文对乌兰柯顺和布龙果尔两条剖面的洪古勒楞组介形类开展生物地层学研究。首次在活动板块边缘地区建立底栖介形类生物带,为研究区的地层划分和对比提供新的依据。洪古勒楞组下段介形类可划分为两个带和两个亚带:Hollinella valentinae-Samarella coumiacensis带和Microcheilinella hoxtolgaiensis-Praepilatina adamczaki带,后者以Microcheilinella bulongourensis的消失为界可分为上、下亚带。在两个研究剖面上洪古勒楞组底部出现典型的弗拉期介形类分子,由此证明西准噶尔上泥盆统可能存在弗拉阶-法门阶(F-F)界线。

西藏改则盆地晚始新世康托组介形类动物群及地质意义

西藏改则盆地新生代陆相康托组地层发育,记录了青藏高原腹地始新世气候变化和隆升历史。本文通过对改则盆地中南部改则县嘎热村康托组剖面进行系统的采样和室内处理,获得363个介形类个体,共鉴定11属27种(包括1个未定种)。通过研究区介形类动物群的特征分子Heterocypris igneus及与东濮、渤海、华北、江汉等地区介形类动物群对比研究,认为康托组上部的沉积时代应为晚始新世。本文首次报道了改则盆地康托组的介形类动物群面貌,据介形类组合厘定了康托组沉积时代,为研究青藏高原腹地新生代地层提供了基础资料。     

福建大田崆峒山晚二叠世和早三叠世介形类

报道福建大田崆峒山晚二叠世大隆组、长兴组及早三叠世溪口组介形类35属67种,其中描述8属9种(包括5新种)。产自长兴组的介形类化石被划分为3个组合,自下而上分别是：Polylites magnituberos-Or-thobairdia meishanensis-Pustulobairdia mailinensis组合,Baitrdia urodelofot-OS-orthobairdia exilimarginata-Bairdia subcontracta组合和Petasobairdia bicornuta-Neoamphissites costatus-Kegelites datianensis组合。大田崆峒山介形类动物群在二叠-三叠系界线上下具有明显的突变性质,这与世界其它地区一样,是遭受二叠纪末期的生物大灭绝事件重创所致。根据介形类化石组合特征,并参考共生或共存化石的内容,福建大田地区长兴组大致相当于浙江煤山长兴组的中、上部,长兴灰岩下伏的海相碎屑岩应划归长兴阶。大隆组、长兴组及溪口组的岩性和化石组合特征．显示古环境从滨海沼泽开始,经历浅海盆地→浅水碳酸盐台地→浅海近岸环境的演化过程。     

粤北丹霞盆地白垩系长坝组的介形类动物群

粤北丹霞盆地白垩系长坝组产介形类化石 15 属 50 种,笔者描述其中 15 属 47 种(包括 3 个新种)。长坝组介形类动物群可以划分两个化石组合:( 1 ) Mongolocypris-Cypridea-Darwinula 组合,分布长坝组二段,属种繁多, 组合特征明显,与松辽平原泉头组 - 姚家组、湖北贾店组、浙江兰溪组等的介形类面貌相似,可以大致对比,由于出现少量晚白垩世标志化石 Talicypridea 属和大个体的 Mongolocypris 属,反映它与晚白垩世介形类的关系更为密切,但又不同于晚白垩世中晚期的南雄群 Talicypridea 动物群,层位偏低,时代较早,属晚白垩世早期为宜,大致相当于赛诺曼期( Cenomanian );( 2 ) Cypridea-Altanicypris-Candona 组合,分布长坝组四段,其层位在长坝组二段之上,晚白垩世丹霞组之下,组合中富含类女星介科的 Altanicypris 属,许多属种出现在晚白垩世地层中,其时代属晚白垩世无疑,与土仑期( Turonian )大致相当。     

Invasive species and biodiversity crises: testing the link in the late devonian

During the Late Devonian Biodiversity Crisis, the primary driver of biodiversity decline was the dramatic reduction in speciation rates, not elevated extinction rates; however, the causes of speciation decline have been previously unstudied. Speciation, the formation of new species from ancestral populations, occurs by two primary allopatric mechanisms: vicariance, where the ancestral population is passively divided into two large subpopulations that later diverge and form two daughter species, and dispersal, in which a small subset of the ancestral population actively migrates then diverges to form a new species. Studies of modern and fossil clades typically document speciation by vicariance in much higher frequencies than speciation by dispersal. To assess the mechanism behind Late Devonian speciation reduction, speciation rates were calculated within stratigraphically constrained species-level phylogenetic hypotheses for three representative clades and mode of speciation at cladogenetic events was assessed across four clades in three phyla: Arthropoda, Brachiopoda, and Mollusca. In all cases, Devonian taxa exhibited a congruent reduction in speciation rate between the Middle Devonian pre-crisis interval and the Late Devonian crisis interval. Furthermore, speciation via vicariance is almost entirely absent during the crisis interval; most episodes of speciation during this time were due to dispersal. The shutdown of speciation by vicariance during this interval was related to widespread interbasinal species invasions. The lack of Late Devonian vicariance is diametrically opposed to the pattern observed in other geologic intervals, which suggests the loss of vicariant speciation attributable to species invasions during the Late Devonian was a causal factor in the biodiversity crisis. Similarly, modern ecosystems, in which invasive species are rampant, may be expected to exhibit similar shutdown of speciation by vicariance as an outcome of the modern biodiversity crisis.

Extinction and diversification in the Devonian Brachiopoda of New York state: No correlation with sea level?

Sea level highstand is generally considered to promote high species diversities among marine organisms through habitat expansion and global climatic amelioration, and marine regression to trigger elevated extinction rates among marine benthic organisms by habitat reduction (the species‐area effect), and among both marine and terrestrial organisms by global climatic deterioration. The Devonian is unusual in that the Late Devonian mass extinction occurs during an interval of global sea level highstand. To further explore this anomaly, the potential relationship between relative sea level and evolutionary biology is analyzed here for the Brachiopoda of the Devonian Period. Successive linear modeling reveals a total lack of correlation between relative sea level and either origination rates, extinction rates, or standing diversity among the Devonian brachiopods.     

A new actinolepid arthrodire (Class Placodermi) from the Lower Devonian Sevy Dolomite, East-Central Nevada

A new genus and species of actinolepid arthrodire, Aleosteus eganensis , is described from the Lower Devonian (Late Emsian) Sevy Dolomite in the Egan Range of east-central Nevada. A cladistic analysis of the family Actinolepidae is presented for the first time and shows the Baltic Actinolepis species form the primitive sister-group of all other actinolepids. Rapid evolution of the Actinolepidae during the Lochkovian is reflected in the dispersal of the family around the Old Red Sandstone Continent at this time followed by the development of endemic faunas through the Lower Devonian and into the Middle Devonian.

On Occurrence and Significance about the Fossil Plants from the Yuntaiguan Formation Located between Hunan and Hubei

This paper deals with the fossil plants from the Yuntaiguan formation located between Hunan and Hubei province. There are six genera and ten species (containing a new genus and five new species) to be discussed here, such as Protolepidodendron scha-ryanum Krejci, Barrandeina dusliana (Krejci) Stur, B. contigua sp. nov., B. lixianensis sp. nov., B. multistriata sp. nov., B. laxa sp. nov., Drepanophycus spinaeformis Goepp., “Protopteridium”? minutum Halle, Psilophyti4es sp. and Longostachys latisporophyllus gen. et sp. nov., etc. The appearance of this fossil flora concerned here can be correlated to the Protolepidodendron scharyanum-Barrandeina dusliana Assemblage. Among these fossil plants from Yuntaiguan formation, both the Protolepidodendron scharyanum and Barrandeina dusliana are also the index fossils, the prior was wide spread during the Middle Devonian in whole world and the other was only found at the late Middle Devonian in Europe. In the Yuntaiguan formation the genus Barrandeina containing no less than five species and, the other taxa were also found from the Middle or the late Middle Devonian. So that this formation should be referred to the late Middle Devonian in age and this conclusion corresponds with the result of spore-pollen analysis in the Xiushuigou formation, Xiongzi county, which is similar to the Yuntaiguan formation and has been referred to the Middle Devonian. In this paper, only four species of Barrandeina and one species of Longostachys have been described, those of the former have not been found before in China. The authors think; this will be significant on studying fossil plants and in comparison with the age of the strata.     

Sur les plantes vasculaires dans le devonien de Libye

Study of the vegetation in Libya during the Devonian period has been made in different works concerning macrofossils (psilophytes, rhyniophytes, trimerophytes and lycophytes of the Murzuk Basin) and microrests and spores of the Rhadamès Basin.A comparison between the spores found in the sediments and those of fossil plants already known in other areas of the world, during the Devonian allowed us to confirm the hypothesis suggested by the study of microrests. Thus, one may suppose that during the Devonian period in Libya, as well as the four groups mentioned above, there may also have lived some plants such as sphenophytes (?) (one spore genus), filicophytes (?) (stomates and spores of five species), progymnosperms (?) (tracheids and spores of two species) and paleophyllales (?) (spore of one species).
