作者系统描述了在重庆城口廖子口和宜昌分乡普溪河奥陶系庙坡组Nemagraptusgracilis笔石带中发现的几丁虫化石,共7属9种。由于此前对该层位的几丁虫研究较少,因此本次所发现的几丁虫化石具有重要的生物地层意义。     

扬子区晚震旦世动物化石新材料

扬子区晚震旦世地层中已有多种类型的动物及遗迹化石的报道。文中补充了不同地区和层位的骨骼及遗迹化石新材料,包括：江西上饶王家院陡山沱组顶部磷块岩中的磷酸盐化“十”字形骨针和云南晋宁王家湾灯影组上段隧石条带中的单轴双射硅质骨针,它们可能分属于钙质海绵和普通海绵类;贵州瓮安陡山沱组上段磷质白云岩中的可疑壳状化石;宜昌三斗坪金瓜墩陡山沱组下部（第二段）遗迹化石;瓮安陡山沱组上段及湖北南漳灯影组上段底部磷质硬底中的生物扰动构造。另外还报道了贵州清镇桃子冲剖面桃子冲组最底部的瓶状动物（Pro-tolagena limbata）化石,并认定桃子冲组与灯影组之间为假整合接触,其底界并无跨入震旦系的证据。     

江苏下扬子区笔石反射率研究

通过对江苏下扬子地区笔石反射率的研究,发现随埋深增加笔石反射率增高,并建立了笔石反射率与牙形刺色变指标的对应关系,又以牙形刺色变指标与镜质体反射率之间的对应关系为“桥梁”,进一步建立了笔以射率与镜质体反率的对应关系,从而为下古生界烃源岩有机质成熟度的评价提供一项新的可靠的评价指标。

华南与缅甸奥陶纪末赫南特贝动物群中的无铰类腕足动物

在奥陶纪末生物大灭绝的两幕之间,海洋底域繁盛着赫南特贝腕足动物群（Hirnantia Fauna）。它数量丰富,分布广泛,历程短暂。以往国内外学者研究这个动物群时,常把有铰类腕足动物作为重点,而无铰类只被简单描述或列出名单,整体面貌不明。无铰类化石尽管材料有限、研究基础薄弱,但只就属的数目而言,占据了全球赫南特贝动物群总属数的近1/5,其群落、演化和环境意义不可小觑。文中专门记述上扬子区（华南古板块）观音桥层（赫南特早中期）与缅甸曼德勒地区（滇缅马苏古地体）Hwe Mawng紫色页岩段（赫南特中期）所产赫南特贝动物群的无铰类化石,计有3目、4超科[Linguloidea（舌形贝超科）、Discinoidea（平圆贝超科）、Craniopsoidea（似髑髅贝超科）和Cranioidea（髑髅贝超科）]的10属、12种,包括5个命名属种[Plectoglossa cf. davidsoni (Barrande),Schizotretinia cf. euxina (Havlí?ek), Pseudopholidops partibilis (Rong),Petrocrania cribrum (Temple),Xenocrania haimei (Reed)]和7个未定种（Trematis sp.,Paracraniops sp.,Acanthocrania sp.,Petrocrania? sp. 1,Petrocrania? sp. 2, Pseudolingula? sp. 和Orbiculoidea sp.）,其中,Pseudolingula? sp.和Orbiculoidea sp.两个未定名种因标本不佳,未正式描述。其中,以Pseudopholidops最为常见,其次是Xenocrania和Petrocrania。前两属是华南、滇缅马苏、波罗的卡、阿瓦隆尼亚、佩鲁尼卡等古板块或地体赫南特贝动物群的常见分子。它们已知限于南、北纬30°之间的低纬度地区,这可能与化石采集和研究程度有关,但更可能反映奥陶纪末全球气候仍存在分异现象。研究识别了奥陶纪晚期无铰类腕足动物7个目,可归为3个类群：灭绝目（仅神父贝目Paterinida）、消减目（多样性与丰度大幅衰减,尤其是三分贝目Trimerellida和乳孔贝目Acrotretida在Hirnantian销声匿迹）和延续目（适应能力强、忍耐阈值高,成功穿越大灾难的首幕）。这些分类单元对研究奥陶纪-志留纪交界期腕足动物群的多样性、群落生态、生物地理及宏演化等有重要意义。     

中国宜昌王家湾晚奥陶世五峰组几丁虫的初步研究

中国宜昌王家湾北剖面已被提名为奥陶系赫南特阶的全球候选层型剖面。为此著者分析了王家湾地区,特别是王家湾南和王家湾小河边奥陶—志留系间相关地层共20个层位的几丁虫样品。初步研究的结果表明,王家湾赫南特阶之下,相当奥陶纪第6个阶顶部,即五峰组中部产出的几丁虫与美国内华达中部Vnini河谷以及加拿大极区Cape Mannig的Ordochitina nevadensis 和Nevadachitina vininica 几丁虫带的分子可以进行对比。     

黔北晚奥陶世Hirnantian期观音桥层四射珊瑚新资料及其地质意义

报道黔北毕节、仁怀和石阡地区晚奥陶世Hirnantian期观音桥层中首次发现的四射珊瑚Axiphoria,Bodophyllum,Dalmanophyllum,Leolasma,Brachyelasmaunicum(Neuman),Grewingkiaanguinea(Scheffen),结合前人报道的该层所产的Borelasma,Kenophyllum,Streptelasma,Ullernelasma等属,进一步表明黔北观音桥层四射珊瑚动物群与斯堪的纳维亚(Scandinavia)、中亚、阿尔泰地区同期珊瑚群关系密切。该动物群对阐明晚奥陶世四射珊瑚古地理关系具有重要意义。黔北观音桥层四射珊瑚十分丰富,总计有18属39种。文中共描述10属12种,其中1新属3新种,即AmplexobrachyelasmaHeetChengen.nov.,GrewingkiadensicolumnaHeetChensp.nov.,KenophyllumfossulatumHeetChensp.nov.,LeolasmaqianbeienseHeetChensp.nov.。     

华南上扬子区下奥陶统红花园组顶界的穿时性

在早奥陶世弗洛早期,广布于华南扬子台地的浅海碳酸盐台地沉积(红花园组)逐渐被陆源碎屑沉积所替代,而海洋生物分异度快速升高,随后出现了奥陶纪生物大辐射的第一次高潮。因此下奥陶统红花园组顶界附近的岩石地层学和年代地层学研究具有重要意义。目前该组顶界的穿时性及其横向分布规律尚无定论。通过对贵州桐梓红花园、习水吼滩、湖北兴山古洞口和湖南张家界温塘4个剖面红花园组牙形石动物群的系统分析,从下至上识别出了3个牙形石带,分别是Serratognathus diversus带、Prioniodus honghuayuanensis-Oepikodus communis带和Oepikodus evae带。采用统一的红花园组顶界定义,即以中—厚层亮晶颗粒灰岩的消失作为红花园组与上覆地层之间的界线,结合研究剖面和前人牙形石生物地层学资料,发现上扬子区红花园组顶界具有明显的穿时性,而且这种穿时性在空间上还具有一定的规律性。上扬子区红花园组顶界大部分位于P.honghuayuanensis-O.communis带内;从上扬子区中部向台地南北两侧的边缘区,红花园组顶界大体上逐渐升高至O.evae带;而在靠近陆源碎屑沉积的西部地区顶界则降低至S.diversus带。造成这一现象的主要控制因素除了海平面的升高外,可能还与陆源碎屑供应的增多有关。     

BRYOZOAN MUD-MOUNDS FROM THE UPPER ORDOVICIAN JIFARAH (DJEFFARA) FORMATION OF TRIPOLITANIA, NORTH-WEST LIBYA

Abstract:  A bryozoan fauna from carbonate mud-mounds is described from subsurface well cores from the Upper Ordovician (Lower Ashgill) Jifarah (Djeffara) Formation of Tripolitania, north-west Libya. Among a diverse assemblage dominated by trepostomes, nine species of bryozoans are identified, including Jifarahpora libyensis gen. et sp. nov. Delicate and robust branching, encrusting and nodular bryozoan growth forms are all common. The bryozoan-rich limestones are mostly mudstones and wackestones, with bafflestone and floatstone textures, but the mounds apparently lack organic framework and microbial fabrics. Regional geophysical data indicate rapid thickness changes between wells, where mound complexes locally up to 100 m thick had limited topographic relief over the surrounding sea floor. The mounds formed in a high-latitude, cool-water carbonate belt that extended widely across the northern margin of Gondwana. Quaternary analogues from the Great Australian Bight suggest that these early Ashgill mounds may have developed in slope environments during an episode of glacial lowstand that preceded the late Ashgill, Hirnantian glacial event.

ISOLATED GRAPTOLITES FROM THE LITUIGRAPTUS CONVOLUTUS BIOZONE (SILURIAN, LLANDOVERY) OF DALARNA, SWEDEN

Abstract:  Isolated material of 13 graptolite species from the Aeronian (middle Llandovery) Lituigraptus convolutus Biozone is described. A considerable amount of late astogenetic peridermal thickening is revealed in Normalograptus scalaris and Rivagraptus bellulus . As a result, in the former, thecal morphology is modified from climacograptid to pseudoglyptograptid; in both species, the virgella becomes robust. In Metaclimacograptus minimus and Me. sp., it is shown that the dorsal metathecal wall forms the genicular hood, whereas in N. nikolayevi , the infragenicular wall of the succeeding theca forms the distal thecal apertural margin. Pribylograptus argutus exhibits typical pribylograptid thecae along the length of the available rhabdosome fragments. Characters differentiating Campograptus lobiferus from C. harpago include the greater dorso-ventral width and more rapid increase in dorso-ventral width of the former and the greater recurving of distal thecae and presence of thecal spines/processes on all thecae of the latter. Lituigraptus convolutus has rastritiform thecae proximally; thecal apertures throughout the rhabdosome are crescentic and laterally expanded.     

扬子区中、晚奥陶世和兰多维利世四射珊瑚起源、扩散及生物古地理关系

扬子区中奥陶世—志留纪兰多维利世四射珊瑚产出丰富 ,尤以兰多维利世最为繁盛。目前已报道的1 2 3属 (包括中奥陶世 4属 ,晚奥陶世 2 5属 ,兰多维利世 94属 )中 ,有 30属最早出现在扬子区 ,尔后扩散到欧洲、北美和其它邻区。例如 :Calostylis最早出现在川南的中奥陶世 (Llandeilo)地层中 ;Aphyllum和Cantrillia最早出现在浙西的晚奥陶世中Ashgill地层 ;扭心珊瑚类Briantelasma ,Pycnactis和Tunguselasma等 ,最早出现在黔东北晚Ruddanian地层 ;柱珊瑚类Ceriaster、Stauria、Amplexoides、Synamplexoides等 ,泡沫珊湖类Maikottia ,Rhizophyl lum等均最早出现在黔东北的中兰多维利统 (MiddleLlandovery)。根据这些资料 ,我们认为扬子区应该是奥陶纪和志留纪四射珊瑚起源中心之一。文中论述扬子区中奥陶世—兰多维利世四射珊瑚动物群特征及其生物古地理关系。该区中奥陶世珊瑚以穿孔珊瑚类的Calostylis和Yohophyllum为特征。下扬子区浙西晚奥陶世三衢山组 (中Ashgill)四射珊瑚群有某些澳大利亚分子Hillophyllum和Bowanophyllum ;而上扬子区晚Ashgill观音桥层的四射珊瑚动物群与北欧同期珊瑚群有高度的相似性。这表明扬子区当时与欧洲具有较密切的古生物地理关系。扬子区兰多维利世四射珊瑚群与西伯利亚。     

MIDDLE LLANDOVERY (AERONIAN) GRAPTOLITES OF THE WESTERN MURZUQ BASIN AND AL QARQAF ARCH REGION, SOUTH-WEST LIBYA

Abstract:  The taxonomy and biostratigraphy of the Aeronian graptoloid graptolites of the Tanezzuft Formation (Murzuq Basin and Al Qarqaf Arch area) is presented and discussed with respect to their palaeoenvironmental setting and palaeobiogeographical links. The gregarius-libycus , ' leptotheca ', convolutus and sedgwickii assemblage biozones and tenuis Subzone are recognized and correlated with the generalized zonal scheme and with graptoloid successions in peri-Gondwanan Europe. The Rhuddanian/Aeronian boundary is tentatively placed at the base of the gregarius-libycus Biozone. Telychian faunas have not been identified. Fourteen of the 23 species recorded herein belong to the middle Aeronian convolutus Biozone assemblage. The overall low diversity may be the result of inhabiting unstable, occasionally turbulent and/or oxic environments. The lowest diversity, but with abundant graptoloid rhabdosomes, is observed in proximal silty and sandy deposits. The presence of ' Paraclimacograptus' libycus suggests biogeographical links to Aeronian graptolite faunas of Jordan and South America. The convolutus Zone assemblage is very similar to the coeval faunas of the Saudi Arabian Qusayba shales. The occurrence of several species endemic to northern and north-western Gondwana and peri-Gondwana provides further evidence for a distinct palaeoclimatic/palaeolatitudinal control on graptolite distribution.
