西班牙加泰罗尼亚CERDANYA地区晚中新世轮藻植物LYCHNOTHAMNUS BARBATUS的分类学与古生态学意义

轮藻纲植物Lychnothamnus barbatus的化石在西班牙加泰罗尼亚地区比利牛斯山脉东部Cerdanya盆地上中新统(Turolian阶)发现。通过与现生L．barbatus的比较研究,发现两者在藏卵器大小方面存在较大差别,据此建立新亚种Lychnothamnus barbatus ssp．megalicarpus subsp．nov．,其藏卵器的各项特征均与器官属Rhabdochara(Madler)Grambast一致,证实两者为同物异名。Lychnothamnus barbatus在盆地上部湖相沉积层中的大量存在,表明湖盆演化史后期发生过营养状况由富营养化向贫营养化转变的现象。     

东海陆架盆地西南部始新世海相沟鞭藻类

本文描述了东海陆架盆地西南部W6-1-1井始新世海相沟鞭藻类24属36种(包括4新种),绿藻1属2种;论述了生物地层特征,建立了两个沟鞭藻组合并讨论了其地质时代、古环境及海侵海退等问题。东海陆架盆地始新统两个沟鞭藻组合基本上代表了一个大的海侵海退过程;海侵导致微体浮游植物的繁盛,并提供了较丰富的生油母质。文中提出下、中始新统的界线应置于温州组下部的灰岩与厚层泥岩之间,即瓯江组上部至温州组下部的灰岩应划归下始新统,温州组的其余地层应划归中始新统。     

柴达木盆地新生界生物地层年代研究

柴达木盆地新生代地层广泛分布,富含油气资源。长期以来,各组时代归属存在较大争议。本文以介形类、孢粉和轮藻微体化石为基础,重新探讨了柴达木盆地新生界各组的地质年代归属:路乐河组为古新世—始新世中期;下干柴沟组沉积时代主体为始新世中晚期,渐新世早期也有部分沉积;上干柴沟组为渐新世早期—中新世早期;下油砂山组为中新世早—中期;上油砂山组为中新世中—晚期;狮子沟组为中新世晚期—上新世晚期;七个泉组为更新世早—中期。柴达木盆地新生界各组地质年代的确定对盆地内油气勘探工作具有重要意义。     

柴达木盆地第三系油源的孢粉学证据

记述了青海柴达木盆地上第三系油储原油中萃取出的孢子花粉化石３１属６８种。基于原油中孢粉化石的研究及其与潜在油源岩中孢粉化石的对比,确定了含油区的油源岩。根据孢子花粉母体植物的古生态特征探讨了油源岩的形成环境。研究结果表明,渐新统至下中新统干柴沟组和上中新统至下上新统油砂山组应为盆地西部的油源岩系。研究区油源岩形成于温暖半潮湿和半干燥气候下的湖泊沉积环境。

澳大利亚轮藻植物LYCHNOTHAMNUS BARBATUS(MEYEN)LEONHARDI藏卵器统计分析及与欧洲同类植物的对比研究

Lychnothamnus(Characeae)为一分布于欧洲和大洋洲的单型属,该类植物日趋衰落。过去十年中,仅在澳大利亚昆士兰州华莱士湾发现数量丰富生长良好的L．barbatus(Meyen)Leonhardi。本文对澳大利亚现生L．barbatus藏卵器进行描述、统计分析和扫描照相,并与其它地区同类现生和化石藏卵器进行对比,结果表明澳大利亚的藏卵器除形状偏长球形、宽度较小、钙化较弱外,其余特征与欧洲植物较为一致。钙化减弱的原因可能与澳大利亚热带地区由季风造成的洪水泛滥降低了水体中离子的浓度有关。     

甘肃晚二叠世二齿兽化石的发现及相关地层研究

记述了甘肃肃南县鲁沟上二叠统肃南组的二齿兽一新种──Ｄｉｃｙｎｏｄｏｎ ｓｕｎａｎｅｎｓｉｓ ｓｐ． ｎｏｖ．。它以额骨与前颌骨相连,在接触处具一深的凹坑,和向前延伸的位于前颌骨中线上的一浅沟;左右鼻骨不在中线相遇。泪骨向前延伸超过前额骨等特征区别于Ｄｉｃｙｎｏｄｏｎ的其他种。它与新疆锅底坑组的Ｄｉｃｙｎｏｄｏｎ ｂｏｇｄａｅｎｓｉｓ关系密切。祁连山地区二叠系、三叠系的研究对比表明：１）肃南组的命名剖面──大青沟剖面只包括肃南组下部,该组由上下两部分组成,这在羊露河剖面和鲁沟剖面中可以得到证实。２）过去广泛使用的西大沟组（群）或“中下三叠统”,其地质体是指整合于窑沟组杂色岩之上,和产晚二叠世安加拉与华夏型混生植物群的肃南组之下的一套紫红色粗碎屑岩层。３）鲁沟剖面中覆于肃南组之上,和伏于下、中侏罗统含煤岩系之下的砂岩夹砾岩及细砂岩层,被命名为鲁沟组,属下三叠统。     

柴达木盆地冷湖地区中-晚始新世化石轮藻LAMPROTHAMNIUM GANCHAIGOUENSIS 组合带及其层序生物地层学意义

柴达木盆地冷湖构造的一些岩屑古生物分析发现,下干柴沟组上段存在一明显的化石轮藻Lamprothamnium ganchaigouensis组合带,而且这一组合带底界与下干柴沟组上段与下段的地质分界相当。在地震时间剖面上,通过井间追层及化石对比,发现这一化石组合带底界均与T4地震标准层相对应,形成了一个地震层序界面(等时界面)。因此,通过生物地层学与地震地层学的综合研究,可建立层序生物地层单元,具有层序生物地层学意义;地震与古生物资料的联合横向对比还可以帮助评估化石层位和标定地震标准层的相对位置,在生产实践中可节约成本,提高地层对比效率。     

哈萨克斯坦斋桑盆地新生代轮藻植物组合

斋桑盆地自晚白垩世以来即为淡水湖泊环境,其始新世至中新世湖相及湖边缘相沉积物产有丰富的轮藻化石。文中建立三个轮藻化石组合：(1)Harrisichara mitella—Peckisphaera zajsanica组合(中始新世早期);(2)Lychnothamnus formosus—Peckichara组合(中始新世晚期--渐新世早期);(3)Gyrogona aralica—sphaerochara clearus组合(中--晚渐新世)。斋桑盆地轮藻化石出现的最高层位为下中新统且化石稀少,推测系盆地环境日益干旱所致。

New charophyte assemblage from middle Miocene lacustrine deposits of Moneva (Ebro Basin,Spain)

Two new fossil charophyte species from middle Miocene lacustrine deposits of Moneva (Ebro Basin, NE Spain) are described and illustrated. Sphaerochara miocenica nov. sp. is represented by medium sized gyrogonites with a characteristic spheroidal shape and ornamented with numerous small and regularly spaced tubercles arranged along the spiral cells. Several specimens show an unusual carbonate encrusted layer that covers completely or partially the gyrogonite. Psilochara monevaensis nov. sp. is characterized by large gyrogonites, with typical prolate shape and protruding apical poles. A second population of S. miocenica nov. sp. from a distant early upper Miocene lacustrine basin located in the Middle East (Bekaa Valley, Lebanon), identified in a previous study as Sphaerochara sp., is described and illustrated here, allowing the comparison of these distant populations. Ecologically, the associated fauna and facies from both localities suggest that these taxa grew in very shallow athalassic lakes. Interestingly, S. miocenica nov. sp. having a wide geographic distribution in peri-Mediterranean lakes with variable salinity, may become a fossil guide for the Miocene, providing at the same time important palaeoecological information.     

Gradualistic characean lineages in the Upper Cretaceous–Palaeocene of southern Europe

Two charophyte lineages from the Upper Cretaceous–Palaeocene of southern Europe are described here, constituting a useful biostratigraphic tool for correlating non-marine stratigraphic sequences. The Peckichara pectinata lineage, ranging from the middle Campanian to the middle–upper Maastrichtian, consists of four successive gyrogonite morphotypes that displayed progressively more complex gyrogonite ornamentation and increasingly smaller gyrogonites with time. The Peckichara sertulata lineage, ranging from the middle Campanian to the Danian, consists of three morphotypes that followed a more common evolutionary trend, developing progressively larger gyrogonites without any changes in ornamentation. Intermediate forms between the successive morphotypes suggest that they corresponded to anagenetic varieties of the same evolutionary species rather than to separate species. The different trends observed appear to be palaeoenvironmentally controlled. The grades of the P. pectinata lineage first occurred in permanent lakes that later shifted to fluvial influenced floodplain ponds, this shift accounting for the reduction in gyrogonite size. By contrast, the P. sertulata lineage mainly occurred in permanent lakes, where stable palaeoenvironmental conditions enabled a steady rise in gyrogonite size to increase the space available for the zygote.     

Reconstruction of the former charophyte community out of the fructifications identified in Albufera de València lagoon sediments

Several decades ago, due to eutrophication, Albufera de València lagoon lost the charophyte meadows that covered the bottom in the past but had never been studied in detail. An area close to the lagoon will be restored now to improve water quality and to recover submerged vegetation. To have information on the background of the charophytes from this area, four 80-87 cm long sediment cores were extracted from the lagoon. The subfossil charophyte fructifications (oospores and gyrogonites) were isolated and identified in two of the four cores. Moreover, sediment core fractions from the third and fourth cores were allowed to germinate under several conditions. The study of the lagoon sediments has revealed that at least 11 morphologies of charophyte fructifications existed in the past. Ten of these were determined at species level: Chara vulgaris, Chara hispida, Chara aspera, Chara baltica, Chara tomentosa, Chara globularis, Lamprothamnium papulosum, Nitella hyalina, Tolypella glomerata and Tolypella hispanica. However, one form of Chara gyrogonite did not fit in any known species. L. papulosum oospores and gyrogonites were the most abundant and concentrated in the deepest sediment layers when the lagoon held brackish water. Large changes in salinity due to freshwater input drove charophyte species substitution (disappearance of L. papulosum). During the oligohaline period C. vulgaris sexual propagules were the most abundant. The last charophyte community before its disappearance due to eutrophication was composed mainly of C. hispida, C. tomentosa and N. hyalina (the two latter with small numbers of oospores in the sediment). To characterize the morphology of the unidentified gyrogonite species, 100 specimens were studied. This type could be a local variety of a more common species, probably C. vulgaris, grown under particular ecological conditions. Old collected oospores (more than 45 years old) germinated and could be identified as C. vulgaris and C. hispida.     

Charophyte-rich microfacies in the Barremian of the Eastern Iberian Chain (Spain)

Non-marine carbonate microfacies based on charophytes are a useful palaeoenvironmental tool that has been poorly developed to date. In the Barremian of the Maestrat Basin (Eastern Iberian Chain), five such microfacies are described and interpreted in terms of sedimentology and palaeoecology: (1) Microfacies of clavatoracean remains are mudstones and wackestones rich in utricles and well-preserved charophyte thalli of the genus Clavatoraxis, representing in situ deposition of clavatoracean meadows. (2) Microfacies of filamentous algae and clavatoraceans are mudstones with a high proportion of calcified filaments attributed to cyanobacteria and green algae. This facies may correspond to the open lake benthos. (3) Microfacies of Intraclasts and Charophyte remains are packstones formed on the shores of freshwater lakes or brackish swamps that underwent subaerial desiccation and wave reworking. (4) Microfacies of Porocharacean remains are wackestones and packstones with abundant gyrogonite fragments of genus Porochara. They are related to the reworking of a porocharacean meadow in shallow brackish marshes. (5) Microfacies of Munieria grambasti Bystricky 1976 fragments are grainstones attributed to the reworking of Munieria-dominated meadows. In consequence to these results, a palaeoecological model based on charophyte remains is proposed as a useful tool in carbonate facies analysis.

Early Carboniferous spiriferoid brachiopods from the Qaidam Basin,Northwest China: Taxonomy,biostratigraphy and biogeography

Six Early Carboniferous brachiopod species in four genera of the Superfamily Spiriferoidea are described from the Qaidam Basin, northwestern China, including a new genus, Qaidamospirifer, and two new species: Grandispirifer qaidamensis and Qaidamospirifer elongatus. Additionally, a new genus, Triangulospirifer, is also proposed to replace Triangularia Poletaev, 2001 that was preoccupied by a Devonian molluscan genus.On the basis of the new material as well as published information, we have reviewed the taxonomic composition and the stratigraphic and palaeobiogeographic distributions of the three previously established genera from the viewpoint of palaeobiogeography. The study reveals that Grandispirifer has a relatively long stratigraphic range from the late Tournaisian to Serpukhovian. During this interval, the genus attained a wide geographical distribution, reaching Northwest China, western Yunnan of West China, Japan, as well as Iran and North Africa. Angiospirifer first occurred in western Europe in the Viséan, and later migrated to North Africa during the late Viséan. In the Serpukhovian, it migrated eastward, reaching the Donets Basin of Ukraine and the Qaidam Basin in Northwest China. Anthracothyrina evolved from Brachythyrina in North Africa in late Viséan, then dispersed north-westward to western and eastern Europe and, further eastward to the Qaidam Basin during the Serpukhovian.
