浙江天台盆地上白垩统赤城山组长形蛋科一新蛋属

浙江天台盆地上白垩统赤城山组发现一新的恐龙蛋类型。依据蛋化石形态、大小和蛋壳柱状层生长纹呈波浪形等特征,将其归入长形蛋科(Elongatoolithidae)。这枚恐龙蛋的蛋壳外表面具网状纹饰,蛋壳锥体层与柱状层界线明显,二者厚度之比近1:2,气孔道细而直,这些特征区别于其他长形蛋科的成员,因此,建立一新的蛋属、蛋种:网纹副长形蛋(Paraelonga-toolithus reticulatus oogen.et oosp.nov.),代表晚白垩世早期长形蛋科的新成员。     

辽宁黑山恐龙蛋──长形蛋类新分子的发现及其意义

辽宁西部黑山县下白垩统发现我国最早的恐龙蛋壳化石,属长形蛋类,取名常氏黑山蛋（新属新种）（Ｈｅｉｓｈａｎｏｏｌｉｔｈｕｓ ｃｈａｏｇｉｉ　ｏｏｇｅｎ ｅｔ ｏｏｓｐ ｎｏｖ）。该新属种蛋壳表面具密集的细瘤状纹饰,局部相邻的两个或数个细瘤联结成链条状细脊,锥体层极薄,锥体层与柱状层之比约为１：７。根据埋藏情况来看,产蛋恐龙生活在湿热、植被茂盛的河湖沼泽附近的生态环境。     

浙江天台盆地发现恐龙蛋一新蛋科化石

中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所汪筱林研究员课题组王强博士等近期在浙江天台盆地双塘、桥下、酒厂等多个地点的赤城山组一段发现十几枚蛋壳结构非常特殊的蛋化石,与目前已知的恐龙蛋类型明显不同,研究后认为是恐龙蛋新蛋科化石.11月2日《科学通报》第57卷31期以封面文章形式刊登了该项研究成果.这一新的恐龙蛋类型的发现不仅有助于进一步了解天台盆地晚白垩世早期恐龙蛋类群的完整面貌,而且也为探讨白垩纪恐龙蛋壳结构的形成与演化提供新的资料.     

内蒙古巴音满都呼晚白垩世棱齿龙蛋化石的发现

本文记述的恐龙蛋化石标本,采自内蒙古乌拉特后旗巴音满都呼上白垩统牙道黑达组中。蛋化石在蛋窝中排列的方式和蛋壳的显微结构特征与北美发现的含有可鉴定为棱齿龙胚胎骨骼的蛋化石基本相似,但还有一些差别,如蛋壳外表面不具纵向细纹,柱状层中鱼骨型纹饰不明显等。因此,应为棱齿龙科中另一新的属种代表。

浙江天台盆地晚白垩世恐龙蛋新类型(英文)

浙江天台盆地上白垩统赖家组和赤城山组是我国最重要的恐龙蛋化石产出地层之一。近年来,我们对天台盆地陆相红层中的恐龙蛋化石层位进行了详细厘定,对恐龙蛋类型进行了系统描述,并对前人报道的一些属种进行了分类订正。研究显示,天台恐龙蛋化石群基本上可分为7蛋科、12蛋属和15蛋种,代表了我国晚白垩世早期的恐龙蛋化石组合。本文简要报道了主要产自天台盆地赤城山组的双塘似蜂窝蛋(新蛋属、新修订种)、木鱼山半蜂窝蛋(新蛋属、新蛋种)、国清寺副蜂窝蛋(新修订种)、天台棱柱形蛋(新修订种)和张头槽马赛克蛋(新蛋属、新修订种)等3新蛋属、5新蛋种和修订种的主要鉴定特征,并建立一新蛋科——似蜂窝蛋科。     

山东莱阳厚皮圆形蛋碎蛋壳的修订

1958年在山东莱阳赵疃村发现了一种特殊类型的恐龙蛋化石。尽管只发现了一枚较大的蛋壳碎片,但其极大的厚度表明它是一个新的蛋种。研究者根据蛋壳径切面的显微结构将它归入圆形蛋科的圆形蛋属并命名为厚皮圆形蛋。然而,与新近报道的产自中国浙江省和日本山口县的多裂隙蛋属的弦切面结构进行对比发现,它们都具有大致平行并且呈波浪状的裂隙。因此将产自莱阳的这块蛋壳碎片重新归入东阳蛋科的多裂隙蛋属,并讨论了东阳蛋类近蛋壳内表面的致密层以及东阳蛋类的时空分布情况。同时,产自辽宁昌图的厚皮圆形蛋的归入标本成为新修订的泉头圆形蛋的正型标本。     

山东莱阳晚白垩世棱柱形蛋新属种及其意义（英文）

记述了发现于莱阳上白垩统将军顶的半枚蛋化石,据其保存较尖的一端,蛋壳外表面光滑无纹饰,蛋壳较薄,紧密排列的棱柱状壳单元,壳单元边缘由致密的方解石组成,以及气孔较少,气孔呈圆形或椭圆形等特征,将其归入棱柱形蛋科,建立新蛋属新蛋种:梨乡莱阳蛋(Laiyangoolithus lixiangensis oogen.et oosp.nov.)。梨乡莱阳蛋的发现不仅丰富了莱阳恐龙蛋化石群组成,同时也增加了棱柱形蛋类的古地理分布,并为研究伤齿龙类的多样性和古地理分布提供了新的证据。     

浙江天台盆地晚白垩世网形蛋类新类型及网形蛋类的分类订正(英文)

记述了产自浙江省天台盆地的网形蛋类新材料,建立一新蛋属——拟网形蛋属(Paradictyoo lithusoogen.nov.),两个新蛋种:庒前拟网形蛋(Paradictyoolithus zhuangqianensis oogen.etoosp.nov.)和下西山拟网形蛋(P.xiaxishanensis oogen.et oosp.nov.)。在此基础上,重新系统描述其他已知4种网形蛋属成员的结构特征,并对网形蛋类的分类进行了订正:网形蛋属(Dictyoolithus)仅保留红坡网形蛋(D.hongpoensis Zhao,1994)一个蛋种;建立一新蛋属:原网形蛋属(Protodictyoolithus oogen.nov.),将发现于河南西峡盆地的内乡网形蛋(D.neixiangensis Zhao,1994)和发现于山东莱阳盆地的蒋氏网形蛋(D.jiangi Liu&Zhao,2004)分别修订为:内乡原网形蛋(修订种)(Protodictyoolithus neixiangensis(Zhao,1994)comb.nov.)和蒋氏原网形蛋(修订种)(P.jiangi(Liu&Zhao,2004)comb.nov.);此外,发现于吉林公主岭早白垩世的公主岭网形蛋(D.gongzhulingensis Wang et al.,2006)并不属于网形蛋类,而应归入似蜂窝蛋类(Similifaveoolithus),将其修订为公主岭似蜂窝蛋(修订种)(Similifaveoolithus gongzhulingensis(Wangetal.2006)comb.nov.)。

Parataxonomic review of the Upper Cretaceous dinosaur eggshells belonging to the oofamily Megaloolithidae from India and Argentina

The eggshell oospecies from India and Argentina are compared and reviewed in detail. These eggshells resemble each other in having a nodular outer surface ornamentation and clearly arched growth lines of the shell units. Microstructurally, the eggshell oospecies belonging to the oofamily Megaloolithidae shows fan-like shell units, which are sharply separated from each other throughout the thickness of the eggshell and can be traced up to the surface of the eggshell. Comparisons between four oospecies from India and Argentina reveal three groupings, which show similarities between megaloolithids of both countries: (1) Megaloolithus jabalpurensis, M. matleyi and M. patagonicus; (2) M. cylindricus, M. rahioliensis and Tipo 1d; and (3) M.megadermus and Tipo 1e. The other two types of eggshell oospecies from India and Argentina show partially fused external nodes and shell units. As a result, growth lines enter into the adjacent shell units with a marked concavity. A new oogenus Fusioolithus have been erected due to fusion between shell units and tubospherulitic morphotype, which include two new oospecies F. baghensis and F. berthei. Till date, morphostructurally, a total of 15 eggshell oospecies belonging to different oofamilies have been recorded from India and seven oospecies from Argentina.

THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF SCENEDESMUS (CHLOROPHYCEAE). I. SPECIES WITH THE “RETICULATE” OR “WARTY” TYPE OF ORNAMENTAL LAYER1

The ultrastructure of the wall layers and ornamentative features of Scenedesmus pannonicus and S. longus are described using carefully correlated freeze-etched replicas, thin sections and scanning electron micrographs. The two species arc enclosed by different types of ornamented layers, S. pannonicus by the tightly filling, “warty” layer and S. longus by the loosely fitting, “reticulate” layer, held off the coenobium by 2 types of tubular propping spikelets and rosettes. The reticulate layer has an intricate substructure, especially when studied with freeze-etching. Its inner and outer surfaces appear different, as is its attachment to the 2 types of spikelets. Whole cells of S. longus subjected to acetolysis lack the cellulose wall and cytoplasm, but all other surface features survive, including the Trilaminar Sheath (TLS); this ornamentation cannot be “pectic.” The cellulose wall and ornamentation is unaffected by boiling water alone. Boiling in 6n NaOH removes the surface ornamentation, but the TLS and wall remain; the possibility that these features contain silica is discussed. The terminal spines of both species consist of closely packed spikelets enclosed within a skin of hexagonally-packed subunits. Similar subunits are seen in the propping spikelets of S. longus, and in the rows or “combs” of laterally fused spikelets of S. pannonicus. The warty layer of S. pannonicus is tightly appressed to the TLS except close to where the cells are joined, where it is suspended free. It is composed of a layer of globular subunits, and small indentations form the warts. Single, evenly distributed warts characterize the freely suspended sections of the warty layer, and the layer that encloses young coenobia soon after they have been formed: in contrast, the warts are clumped over the surface of older and larger colonies. Some of the single warts form characteristic double rows, but these latter remain single even on older cells. The surface structure of the warty layer, TLS, and plasmalemma are revealed by the freeze-etching process.     

Theropod dinosaurs from the Albian–Cenomanian Wayan Formation of eastern Idaho

The record of terrestrial vertebrates in the upper Albian to Cenomanian Wayan Formation of Idaho is sparse, with most fossils recovered belonging to the small orodromine neornithischian Oryctodromeus cubicularis and the maniraptoran ootaxon Macroelongatoolithus carlylei. Here we report on a diversity of theropod forms now recognised from various isolated teeth, vertebrae, eggs and eggshell. Theropods recognised from isolated teeth include a large possible tyrannosauroid, a small tyrannosauroid, dromaeosaurids, and indeterminate theropods. A possible neovenatorid and indeterminate theropods are recognised from isolated vertebrae. A giant oviraptorosaur is indicated by the presence of rare eggs and common eggshell accumulations referred to Macroelongatoolithus. While these remains are admittedly meager, their presence indicates that a substantial diversity of theropods existed in the Albian to Cenomanian environments of southeastern Idaho. The Wayan theropod assemblage is among the most diverse reported for this time period in North America, and represents a transitional assemblage resembling that of the later Late Cretaceous.
