A NEW PTERIDOSPERM MALE FRUCTIFICATION FROM THE MIDDLE PENNSYLVANIAN OF ILLINOIS

Rhetinotheca tetrasolenata gen. et sp. n. is described from a Herrin #6 coal ball from Illinois. It consists of an ellipsoidal cluster of small synangia bearing spores of the Monoletes type. Although the synangia are partially connected to each other by sparse sterile tissue, evidence indicates that the synangia are immature, and it is presumed that they separated and spread apart at maturity. A small portion of a protostelic axis is present near the center of the cluster. Individual synangia consistently contain four sporangial tubes and measure 2.0–3.6 mm long by 0.7–1.2 mm in diam. A conspicuous central columella is present. When compared with compression forms, Rhetinotheca tetrasolenata compares most favorably with Aulacotheca iowensis. On this basis, arguments are advanced disputing the classical concept of whittleseyan fructifications. It is contended that none of them possessed a hollow central cavity as depicted in most reconstructions.     

NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF CARBONIFEROUS TETRACORALS FROM JIANGSU AND ANHUI

The speciments described in the present paper were collected from Hezhou, Huanglong and Chuanshan Formations in Jiangsu and Anhui. They belong to 17 genera (including 1 new genus) and 24 new species or subspecies, together with a new species from the lowermost part of the Chihsia Formation in Jiangsu. Based on characteristics of tetracorals, the Huanglong Formation (Moscovian) and the Chuanshan Formation (Sphaeroschwagerina Zone) at Dushan of Guangde, Anhui may be divided into four assemblage zones as follows:     

河南内乡桑坪组-新禽龙及其地层学意义

记述了禽龙亚目(Iguanodontia)一个新属种--诸葛南阳龙(Nanyangosaurus zhugeii).标本产于河南内乡夏馆镇桑坪组的紫红色泥质粉砂岩中.它的自近裔特征包括:第二掌骨超过第三掌骨和第四掌骨长度的90%;第四掌骨远端异常粗壮;指节Ⅳ-1长度小于远端横向宽度;第二跖骨近端腹背向长度大于第三跖骨.系统发育分析表明,南阳龙代表亲缘关系与鸭嘴龙超科最为接近的一类鸟脚类恐龙.诸葛南阳龙的发现支持了夏馆盆地红层为早白垩世沉积的观点.

ON A NEW STRUCTURALLY PRESERVED ARBORESCENT LYCOPSID FRUCTIFICATION FROM THE LOWER PENNSYLVANIAN OF NORTH AMERICA

Bisporangiate lycopsid fructifications are described from petrifaction material of Pottsville (lower Pennsylvanian) age collected in eastern Kentucky. The largest specimen of Lepidostrobus schopfii sp. n. is 8.0 cm long and approximately 1.3 cm in diam; it is not complete at either apex or base. Basal megasporangia, each containing a variable number (12-29) of megaspores, and apical microsporangia are adaxially positioned on pedicels bearing reduced lateral laminae. Features of the cone axis and pattern of vascularization are described. Of particular interest is the occurrence of well-preserved endosporic megagametophytes showing archegonia and rhizoids. The new species is compared with other structurally preserved bisporangiate lycopsid fructifications of equivalent age.

CALAMOCARPON INSIGNIS,A NEW GENUS OF HETEROSPOROUS,PETRIFIED CALAMITEAN CONES FROM THE AMERICAN CARBONIFEROUS

Baxter , R. W. (U. Kansas, Lawrence.) Calamocarpon insignis , a new genus of heterosporous, petrified calamitean cones from the American Carboniferous. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(5): 469–476. Illus. 1963.—Calamocarpon insignis is described as a new genus of calamitean cone based on numerous fragments of microsporangiate and megasporangiate cones found in coal balls of middle Pennsylvanian age from the Cherokee Group of Kansas and the Des Moines Series of Iowa. The cones are similar to Calamostachys in general construction, having a hollow pith, prominent protoxylem canals, and alternating whorls of sterile bracts and sporangiophores. They differ in that the microsporangiate cones bear microsporangia each containing several hundred microspores which may occur as tetrads or single spores, while the megasporangiate cones bear large rectangular megasporangia each containing a single functional megaspore surrounded by sterile nutritive tissue. The microspores average 30–40μ in diameter compared to a maximum measurement of 2.7 × 0.7 mm for the single rectangular megaspore. The female gametophyte was produced within the megaspore which was held within the megasporangium during the entire period of development. The megasporangia were deciduous so that the entire structure was shed as a unit.     

四川资中侏罗纪一新的半椎鱼类及其生物地层意义

本文记述的棘背天府鱼(新属新种)发现于四川资中沙溪庙组.它只有大的顶骨、少的次眶骨及无饰缘棘鳞等特征,与新鳞齿鱼(Neolepidotes)相似;另外具有很发达的棘状背嵴鳞、少的次眶骨及鳞片无杵臼式关节等特征,与半椎鱼(Semionotus)很相似.天府鱼以其长大的顶骨、较居后的颌关节、较短的眶前距、很发达的棘状背嵴鳞及无饰缘棘鳞等特征,有别于半椎鱼科中所有已知属.根据天府鱼和过去记述的鱼化石,仍认为含鱼层的时代可能为中佚罗世.

陕北延长群一新古鳕类及其生物地层意义

本文记述了在陕西北部耀县铜川组发现的古鳕科一新属、种——延长三叠鳕(Triassodusyanchangensis,gen.et sp.nov.)。在对其形态特征作较详细描述的基础上,认为它既与美国晚三叠世的吐鲁瑟欧鳕(Turseodus)很接近,又与我国四川须家河组(晚三叠世)的蜀鳕(Sh-uniscus)相似。基于上述的理由,认为铜川组的时代是晚三叠世。根据迄今在我国晓三叠世发现的鱼类,探讨了我国晚三叠世的鱼群与北美的关系。     

AN UNUSUAL FOSSIL FRUCTIFICATION FROM THE JURASSIC OF OAXACA,MEXICO

A fructification with unusual branching arrangement, Perezlaria oaxacensis gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Middle Jurassic Zorrillo Formation of Oaxaca, Mexico. The sporangial heads are similar to the pollen-bearing organs of several Mesozoic pteridosperms. The association of P. oaxacensis, as well as some isolated organs resembling the synangia of Caytonanthus, with glossopteroid foliage is noted.     

Stellatopollis花粉之发现及其意义

本文描述了首次发现于我国早白圣世的原始被子植物花粉Ｓｔｅｌｌａｔｏｐｏｌｌｉｓ。这一发现进一步表明,这类花粉在早白垩世期间分布广泛,是早期被子植物花粉组合的重要组成部分,对大范围内的地层对比和早期被子植物演化的研究具有重要的价值。本文还介绍了我们所使用的对同一粒花粉进行光镜和扫描电镜联合观察照相的一种既简单又经济的方法．     

横断山地区石炭纪和二叠纪有孔虫

横断山地区石炭纪和二叠纪海相沉积分布非常广泛,在早石炭世杜内期至晚二叠世各沉积中均含有大量有孔虫化石,其中尤以维宪期和长兴期沉积中的有孔虫化石最为丰富和保存极佳。本文描述了较为常见和特征的分子共11科30属65种,其中8个为新种,根据分析和比较,横断山地区石炭纪和二叠纪有孔虫动物群的组合面貌和特征与我国华南地区同期地层中所见有孔虫动物基本一致,同属“南方型”生物群,同时也与特提斯海域同期地层中有孔虫动物群非常近似,因此可以说明横断山地区当时的海水不仅与我国华南海域及特提斯海域都是相通的,同时都繁衍着大致相同的有孔虫动物群,它们均生活在温暖和盐度较为正常的浅海水域中。
