描述在甘肃临夏盆地晚中新世地层中发现的貘属新种和政貘(Tapirus hezhengensis sp. nov.),它是貘属中已知最小的种之一。在基本特征上,临夏盆地的和政貘与现生貘已相当接近,前臼齿完全臼齿化,门齿、犬齿的数目和形态也与现生貘一致。东亚晚中新世缺少貘科化石的材料,和政貘的发现对中国第四纪貘类的来源提供了重要线索,显示中中新世起源于欧洲的真貘在晚中新世时期已扩散至东亚。貘类通常适应于潮湿的热带森林环境,但和政貘在华北三趾马动物群中的发现说明这类动物也能够生活于干旱的温带草原地区。 相似文献

Quantitative reconstruction of palaeoclimate from the Middle Miocene Shanwang flora, eastern China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The fossil leaf flora from the Shanwang Formation, Linqu County, Shandong Province, eastern China, is diverse, abundant, well preserved and discretely spaced, all of which make it suitable for the recognition and application of leaf physiognomic characters. This article is the first study of Chinese Tertiary floras using the CLAMP (Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program) approach. Numerous bedding planes yield leaf assemblages through over 20 m thickness of diatomaceous shales within the Middle Miocene Shanwang Formation. The diatomaceous shales, containing abundant fossils, have been divided into 19 units. A working platform (3×3 m) in the Diatomite Quarry of Shanwang was studied for about 3 months in 1998 and as many fossils as possible were recorded layer by layer. This collecting method, used for the first time in the history of Shanwang research, enabled us to record the presence or absence of megafossils in distinct units so that we could investigate leaf physiognomic characteristics and palaeoclimate for each time interval. Leaf fossils from six units (5, 6, 7, 13, 15 and 16) have been used to estimate palaeoclimate parameters of the Shanwang area using the CLAMP 3B dataset. The predicted climate is that of a lakeside setting, at over 1000 m above sea level and within the 17–15-Ma time interval. Meteorological factors have been estimated using the CLAMP approach, including mean annual temperature (MAT; 9.5–11.2°C), warmest month mean temperature (20.2–22.5°C), growing season length (5.9–6.8 months), mean growing season precipitation (83–165 cm) and relative humidity (73–79%). MAT estimates from leaf margin analysis (LMA) range from 12.5 to 15.2°C, which are a maximum of 4° higher than those from our CLAMP analyses and from previous results of LMA studies of the Shanwang flora (10–13°C). Nearest living relatives (NLR) of other biota (pollen, fish, insects, diatoms, microthyriaceous fungi, etc.) indicate warm and moist temperate to subtropical conditions in the Shanwang area during the Miocene. CLAMP predictions are similar to the climate predicted from NLRs although the MAT prediction is a few degrees cooler. The fact that the Shanwang leaf flora is from a lacustrine sequence may have biased the CLAMP analysis towards cooler (and possibly wetter) climates. The modern Yangtze River valley is a reasonable environmental analogue for the Shanwang Middle Miocene, though Shanwang may have had cooler summers, cooler MAT and less seasonality in rainfall. The climate was essentially constant during deposition of the sequence studied, with possible minor variations in precipitation. 相似文献

中国新近系山旺阶建阶研究新进展 总被引:11,自引:3,他引:8
中国新近系的年代地层单位山旺阶与哺乳动物分期的山旺期相对应 ,其定义的生物带相当于欧洲的MN3~MN5 ,下界年龄应为 2 0 .5Ma。按照现代地层学的建阶原则对山东临朐的山旺剖面进行综合研究 ,得出山旺组的底界年龄约为 1 8Ma ,山旺动物群的地质时代也由原来认为的与欧洲MN5相当提早到与MN4相当。尽管如此 ,研究结果证实山旺组仍然缺失定义的山旺阶下部沉积和MN3动物群。《国际地层指南》提倡将重点放在选择下界的界线层型来确定年代地层单位 ,其上界应该由后续单位的下界来确定。甘肃兰州盆地和秦安地区有发育的渐新世至中新世沉积出露 ,并有山旺阶最底部的化石和适合于作古地磁分析的沉积物 ,因此 ,是有可能建立山旺阶下界界线层型的有利地点。 相似文献

Shanwang, one of the famous fossil localities in the world, lies 22 kilometers east of the Linqu county town in Shandong province, China. There are a wide variety of well-preserved plant and animal fossils embedded in diatomite layers. Most Chinese paleontologists considered the age of the Shanwang Formation to correspond to the mid-Miocene, but some others belived that it is of the early mid-Miocene age. 相似文献

The Miocene Shanwang biota in eastern China is one of the taxonomically most diversified and extraordinarily well-preserved lacustrine fossil deposits in the world. This study provides the historical and geological background, documents the taxonomic diversity, and examines the preservational style of this unique Konservar-Lagerstätte. A 30 m thick diatomaceous shale (the lower part of the Shanwang Formation), deposited in a small and volcanically related lake basin under a warm temperate climate, hosts more than 500 fossil species, including fungi, diatoms, higher plants, insects, ostracodes, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The excellent preservation of the fossils has yielded (1) non-mineralized organic tissues of animals and plants; (2) detailed morphology of delicate organs such as flowers, feathers, and hairs; (3) original coloration of plants and insects; and (4) completely articulated animal bodies with in situ teeth, skin, and even stomach contents. The highly diversified fossil biota shows a complex interrelationship of co-occurring organisms that once lived in a eutrophic water body with a dense forest nearby. The preservation of soft tissues among the Shanwang fossils provides feasible material for further molecular-level investigation of these Miocene organisms. □ Miocene, KONSERVAT-LAGERSTÄTTEN, lacustrine, taxonomic diversity, preservational style, Shanwang, China. 相似文献

The fragmented pathological skull of a young child was discovered in a Magdalenian level in the Rochereil cave, Dordogne, France, in 1939. The bony fragments were extracted along with the surrounding soil, and completely cleaned in a laboratory. The mandible has been wrongly reconstructed. Among the nine teeth that are present on the mandible, three deciduous molars are human teeth at their correct places. Only one tooth in the incisor–canine block (the right deciduous lateral incisor) is a human tooth, but it is incorrectly positioned on the left side. The other incisors and canines implanted in this child's mandible originated from one or several young adult reindeer. These small animal teeth were probably mistaken for human pathological teeth because the child's skull and mandible showed several pathological lesions. The possibility of faulty reconstitution must be systematically considered when dealing with for all human fossils which have been discovered in the past. 相似文献

山东山旺中新世植物群研究进展 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
山旺盆地位于东经118º,北纬36º,是一个中新世中期内陆湖泊沉积盆地。地层内保存了丰富的植物及动物化石。自40年代至今,已对山旺中新世植物群中的大植物化石(87属125种),植物孢粉(41属71种),硅藻(16属45种)及真菌(9属15种)进行了详细的研究。考虑到山旺中新世植物群处于全球气候变化的转折期,对其进行埋藏学,古环境重建等深入细致的研究,对阐明全球中新世气候变化的机制具有重要意义。 相似文献

五十多年前胡骕在研究山东临朐县山旺组的植物化石中,发现有花的化石,仅保存了5个花瓣或仅5个萼片,均难给予确切的分类位置;六十年代我们两次去山旺野外工作,发现为数较多,同样仅保存花瓣或萼片的化石。本文研究的是80年代发现并保存较为完好的花化石。新近李凤麟详细论述了各门类化石,均认为山旺组的地质时代属中中新世。近十余年来,国际上被子植物的花化石的研究进展较快。每次花化石的发现,对研究被子植物种系发生、系统位置及在地史中的演化及演变速率等均是极重要 相似文献

The recently described cranium from Ngawi, East Java, is an important addition to the human fossil record. Several workers
have placed Ngawi 1 into a grouping with the Ngandong and Sambungmacan specimens due to an overall metric and nonmetric similarity
to those fossils. Multivariate comparisons of cranial shape have not been performed utilizing Ngawi, however, so it is unknown
whether this specimen will fall within the current range of variation in those samples or if it will extend that range. Likewise,
the inclusion of the Ngawi skull will allow a new test of the hypothesis that the African and Indonesian specimens currently
allocated to Homo erectus exhibit a craniometric pattern that is significantly different from that seen in the Zhoukoudian crania. Mahalanobis distances
will be used to examine the levels of variation present in a large sample representing the most complete African, Indonesian,
and Chinese specimens of H. erectus. Statistical significance of the distances generated will be calculated using random expectation statistics. The results
indicate that Ngawi shares strong shape similarities with the African and Indonesian specimens studied, and exhibits significant
differences with the Zhoukoudian fossils. This supports earlier work by a number of scholars that found evidence of a unique
craniometric pattern at that Chinese site. In addition, these tests indicate that cranial shape remained relatively invariant
on Java for much of the Pleistocene. These findings, in conjunction with evidence for the appearance of unique nonmetric traits
in the late-surviving Ngandong crania, suggest that the hominid populations of Java were relatively isolated for extended
periods of time. 相似文献

<正> In comparison with the recovery of macromammals from Shanwang, Shandong, the finds of micromammals from the locality are still rather small. Up to now, only three forms, Shanwangia unexpectula Young, 1977, Meinia asiatica Qiu, 1981 and Diatomys shantungensis Li, 1977 have been reported. Two taxa of small mammals described in this paper can be added to the list of the middle Miocene Shanwang fauna. The specimens in question were collected from the diatomaceous quarry in 1983. 相似文献
