川西南峨眉山地区上白垩统夹关组遗迹组构特征及其环境意义

川西南峨眉山地区上白垩统夹关组由一套厚层到块状中、细砂岩组成,夹有少量粉砂岩和泥岩,底部有砾岩。本组地层中发育有丰富的遗迹化石,共识别出9属11种。根据遗迹化石的分布情况,划分出了5种遗迹组构,即:Palaeophycus遗迹组构、Arenicolites遗迹组构、Skolithos遗迹组构、Planolites遗迹组构和Scoyenia遗迹组构;结合它们所分布岩层的沉积特征,认为前三者分别分布于河流环境中水动力强的边滩下部、水动力中等到较强的边滩中上部和边滩向堤岸过渡的环境,后两者分布于水动力较弱的天然堤环境。

香港坪洲岛若干白垩纪植物化石

坪洲岛位于香港地区东北隅,大鹏湾内靠近深圳市下沙和大鹏一侧,其地理座标为北纬22°32′-33′,东经114°25′-27′。岛上出露一套以灰黑色板状泥岩为主的含化石碎屑岩层。据Williams(1943)的资料,在岛的西北部低潮时出露有约10m厚的砂质页岩和0.6m燧石砂岩,其上为广泛出露的厚达170m的黑色含钙质的粉砂岩和泥岩。由于此岛孤立地位于大鹏湾内,其岩层和邻近地区出露的沉积层之间的对比和相互关系均不可能确切知道。已知大鹏湾水下主要为红色砂、砾岩层,但它们与岛上岩层之间确切的关系也不清楚。到目前为止,确定这个岛上沉积岩层的时代的唯一手段是化石证据。自本世纪二十年代起Brock和Williams等先后采集了一些植物化石,经Seward鉴定,结果如下(Williams,

塔里木柯坪羊吉坎剖面柯坪塔格组下段(上奥陶统)遗迹化石及其古环境意义

塔里木板块柯坪山系的柯坪塔格组下段可对比为上奥陶统,属浅海偏快速碎屑岩沉积相带。羊吉坎剖面距柯坪塔格组底界之上约20—30m的中—厚层细砂岩和粉砂岩局部薄层中赋存遗迹化石,本文鉴定为5属9种,包括Cruziana rouaulti Seilacher,1970,Cruzianaichnosp.,Rusophycus biloba Vanuxem,1842,Rusophycus didymus Salter,1856,Rusophycus cf.eutendorfensis Linck,1942,Chondrites ichnosp.,Gordia marina Emmons,1844,Planolites montanus Richter,1937,Thalassinoides horizontalis Myrow,1995。其中Planolites与Chondrites为穿相分子,Cruziana与Rusophycus为Cruziana遗迹相的典型分子,Thalassinoides与Gordia在早古生代也可见于Cruziana遗迹相,因此该段遗迹化石组合可归于Cruziana遗迹相。羊吉坎剖面柯坪塔格组下段极浅海带的浑浊水体环境导致大多数时间段中壳相生物丰度偏低,可推测这些遗迹化石的造主多是分异度低的机会种群,它们在相对很短的时间段栖居活动于海底表面,随机形成遗迹化石密集的薄层。     

Distribution of Ordovician-Silurian ichnofossil assemblages in Wales - implications for Phanerozoic ichnofaunas

The stratigraphic succession of west Wales may be subdivided into two dominant lithologies, namely sandstone and mudstone. The distribution of these lithologies is largely determined by tectonic activity and eustatic sea-level changes in the area. The strata contain a diverse and relatively abundant ichnofaunal assemblage consisting, at the ichnogeneric level, of fifteen forms: Chondrites, Circulichnis , Cochlichnus, Cosmorhaphe, Desmograpton, Gordia, Helminthoida, Helminthopsis , Nereites, Neonereites, Palaeo-phycus, Paleodictyon (Glenodictyon), Paleodictyon (Squamodictyon) , Planolites, Protopaleodictyon and Spirophycus. The ichnogenera are not evenly distributed throughout the succession, the main controlling factors being toponomy, anoxia, water depth and a global extinction event. The relative importance of these controls is examined with reference to 33 previously described and taxonomically well-documented deep-water flysch ichnofossil studies. □ Trace fossils, Palaeozoic, Wales, toponomy, anoxia, depth, extinction.

Trace fossils from arenig flysch sediments of eire and their bearing on the early colonisation of the deep seas

A sequence of Lower Ordovician (Arenig) turbidites in Co. Wexford, Eire, has yielded one of the earliest diverse ichnofaunas yet recorded from deep water sediments comprising: Chondrites, Glockerichnus, Gordia, Helminthopsis, Lorenzinia, Neonereites, Palaeophycus, Paleodictyon, Planolites, Sublorenzinia, Taenidium, Taphrhelminthopsis, Teichichnus and Tomaculum. This ichnofauna is critical in any analysis of the colonisation of the deep seas by trace fossil‐producing animals.

A world‐wide review shows that the earliest trace fossils are mainly from Late Precambrian shelf sea environments, but many more evolved during very rapid diversification in the pre‐trilobite Lower Cambrian.

There was little increase in diversity in shallow water after the Lower Cambrian but a progressive colonisation of the deep ocean took place and this accelerated during the Ordovician, when the main lineages of deep sea trace fossils were established there. Rosetted, patterned, meandering and simple spiral forms evolved in shallow water in the Upper Precambrian and pre‐trilobite Lower Cambrian and only later migrated into the deep sea, whereas complex, closely programmed, spiral traces may have evolved there.

BIOEROSIVE STRUCTURES OF SCLEROZOAN FORAMINIFERA FROM THE LOWER PLIOCENE OF SOUTHERN SPAIN: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE PALAEOECOLOGY OF MARINE HARD SUBSTRATE COMMUNITIES

Abstract:  A palaeoecological study of sclerozoan foraminifera of the families Saccamminidae (aff. Sagenina ), Lituolidae ( Placopsilina ), Cibicididae ( Cibicides , Dyocibicides , Cibicidella ) and Planorbulinidae ( Planorbulina and Planorbulinella ) that colonized epifaunal bivalves (ostreids and pectinids) during the early Pliocene in southern Spain has led to the recognition of two new boring ichnogenera: Camarichnus ichnogen. nov., with two ichnospecies, C .  subrectangularis ichnosp. nov. and C .  arcuatus ichnosp. nov., and Canalichnus ichnogen. nov., with one ichnospecies, C .  tenuis ichnosp. nov. The first two ichnospecies were produced by adnate lituolids and cibicidids, the last by saccamminids. Their recognition is very important when quantifying populations of these organisms. Colonisation took place after death of the host bivalves, when they acted as very stable substrates whose topography probably controlled the initial settlement pattern of the foraminifera. The colonisation sequence started with the foraminifera (lituolids-saccamminids-cibicidids-planorbulinids) and was followed by vermetid gastropods, serpulids, spirorbids, cheilostome bryozoans and/or ostreids. Preferred orientations and overgrowth relationships between cheilostome bryozoans and serpulids have been detected in this material.     

A Nereites ichnofacies from the Ordovician‐Silurian Welsh Basin

The sediments of the Ordovician‐Silurian succession of west Wales are interpreted as turbiditic sands with associated pelagic and hemi‐pelagic mudstones. The strata contain a trace fossil assemblage consisting of fifteen ichnogenera, namely: Chondrites, Circulichnis, Cochlichnus, Cosmorhaphe, Desmograpton, Gordia, Helminthoida, Helminthopsis, Neonereites, Nereites, Paleodictyon, Palaeophycus, Planolites, Protopaleodictyon and Spirophycus. The ichnofaunal assemblage is typical of the Nereites ichnofacies. Twenty three ichno‐species are described, two of which (Helminthoida granulata, Palaeophycus serratus) are new. Turbiditic sands contain the most abundant and diverse ichnoassemblages, a reflection of favorable environmental conditions for habitation by benthic organisms. Both the turbiditic mudstones and anoxic hemipelagites contain just two ichno‐species, namely Chondrites ichnosp. and Planolites montanus both of which are common, albeit less so in the latter facies. The effects of preservation potential, medium and preservation mechanisms are also important controls on distribution.

A diverse deep‐marine Ichnofauna from the Eocene Tarcau sandstone of the Eastern Carpathians,Romania

The Paleocene to Middle Eocene Tarcau Sandstone at Buzau Valley, eastern Carpathians, Romania, records sedimentation in a turbidite system. These strata contain a diverse and abundant pre‐ and postdepositional ichnofauna consisting of 35 ichnogenera and 54 ichnospecies. The predepositional assemblage is rich in graphoglyptids and ornate grazing trails; simple grazing trails, resting traces, and feeding structures also occur. The predepositional assemblage includes Acan‐thorhaphe, Belorhaphe, Cardioichnus, Circulichnus, Coch‐lichnus, Cosmorhaphe, Desmograpton, Fustiglyphus, Gordia, Helicolithus, Helminthopsis, Helminthorhaphe, Lorenzinia, Megagrapton, Paleodictyon, Paleomeandron, Protopaleodictyon, Scolicia (S. strozzii), Spirorhaphe, Spirophycus, Treptichnus, and Urohelminthoida. The ich‐nodiversity, composition, ethology, and morphologic complexity of the predepositional association are indicative of the Nereites ichnofacies. The postdepositional association essentially consists of dwelling, feeding, and grazing traces, and is represented by Chondrites, Glockerichnus, Halopoa, Nereites, Ophiomorpha, Phycodes, Planolites, Polykampton, Scolicia(S. prisca. S. striata), Taenidium, Thalassinoides, and Zoophycos. Palaeophycus occurs in both assemblages. Allochthonous Teredolites is present in wood fragments, The postdepositional association includes elements of the Skolithos ichnofacies and facies‐crossing forms that are commonly present in deep‐marine deposits, Elements of the Skolithos ichnofacies are present not only in the most proximal parts of the turbidite system, but also in distal parts. The number of predepositional forms greatly exceeds postdepositional ones, reflecting a dominance of K‐selected over r‐selected population strategies in a stable environment. High levels of ichnodiversity in the Tarcau Sandstone are comparable with deep‐sea ichnofaunas from the Polish Carpathians and with other flysch trace‐fossil assemblages of similar age. This abundant and diverse Eocene ichnofauna supports the idea of extremely rich deep‐sea ichnofaunas in the Cenozoic.
