禄丰古猿雌性头像的复原

本文叙述了制作禄丰古猿雌性复原头像的根据和过程。复原像以宽阔的眶间宽和中面部,以及低平的鼻根和鼻梁硬骨部为其显著的特点。它的“鼻—前颌部”侧面轮廓和软鼻形态与猩猩的较相似。它的鼻属猿型鼻,有类似大猩猩的和人形化的性状。     

The juvenile mandible of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Lufengpithecus</Emphasis>

The juvenile mandible ofLufengpithecus lufengensis (PA869) discovered in 1980 at back to latest Miocene lignite rich deposit in Shihuiba Village, Lufeng County, Yunnan Province in southwest of China is described in this study. The specimen was compared with the juvenile mandibles ofSivapithecus, Australopithecus, earlyHomo and extant great apes. Some characteristics of the juvenile mandible ofLufengpithecus indicate that the proportional relation between the length, the height and the thickness of the mandibular corpus are very similar to those of the adult mandible of same species. This Lufeng juvenile mandible is of a 3–3.5 years old female individual.     

云南禄丰古猿产地的貘类化石及奇蹄目总汇

记述了云南禄丰石灰坝古猿产地的貘类化石。材料只有3枚单个的下牙齿,经观察、测量、对比可将其归入1981年时墨庄等所建立的云南貘(Tapirus yunnanensis)。至此,云南禄丰古猿产地的奇蹄目化石全部研究完毕。该目共有马类2种:西氏三趾马Hipparion theobaldi,禄丰三趾马Hipparion lufengense;犀类2种:禄丰无鼻角犀Acerorhinus lufengensis、林氏山西犀相似种Shansirhinus cf.S.ringstroemi;爪兽1种:元谋巨爪兽Anisodon yuanmouensis和貘类1种:云南貘Tapirus yunnanensis。     

Reconsidering the status and affinities of the ornithischian dinosaur Tatisaurus oehleri Simmons, 1965

The early Mesozoic fossil fauna collected from the Lower Lufeng Formation of Yunnan Province, China, has attracted considerable interest and attention since its discovery in the late 1930s. Its importance reflected a combination of its comparatively remote geographical position and, more particularly, the similarities of its fauna compared with approximately contemporary discoveries from Europe, North and South America, and southern Africa. The fragmentary and poorly preserved Lufeng ornithischian dinosaur Tatisaurus oehleri was described in 1965 and proved taxonomically and systematically enigmatic from the start. Originally assigned, with some noted ambivalence, to the basal ('primitive') group of ornithischians known as hypsilophodontids, since 1965 Tatisaurus has been variously ignored, assigned to a more rigorously defined Hypsilophodontidae, referred to both of the armoured (thyreophoran) ornithischian dinosaur clades (Stegosauria and Ankylosauria), or referred to a more basal position within the thyreophoran lineage. In 1996 the holotype of Tatisaurus was renamed Scelidosaurus oehleri , and the genus Scelidosaurus was proposed as an index fossil of the ' Scelidosaurus biochron' with the potential to be used for the global stratigraphic correlation of Early Jurassic (early Sinemurian) rocks. Because of this chequered history Tatisaurus oehleri Simmons, 1965 has been re-examined and is redescribed so that its taxonomic status and systematic position could be reassessed. Tatisaurus is identified as a basal thyreophoran (armoured ornithischian dinosaur); there is no basis for amalgamating it in synonymy with the genus Scelidosaurus , and the proposed creation of a ' Scelidosaurus biochron' for the purposes of biostratigraphic correlation of Lower Jurassic outcrops has no utility whatever. © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2007, 150 , 865–874.     

禄丰古猿化石地点地层概述

本文较详尽地记述了云南禄丰古猿化石地点附近的地质、地貌、地层情况以及产出古猿及大量脊椎动物化石的剖面。     

云南禄丰古猿化石产地的竹鼠化石

本文记述了近年来经过多次发掘和采用筛洗方法从禄丰古猿化石产地获得的一批竹鼠化石标本,共有一属3种: Brachyrhizomys nagrii;Brachyrhizomys cf.pilgrimi和Brachyrhizomystetracharax以及2枚单个牙齿属于暂不宜订种属的类型。     

禄丰古猿地点的鼷鹿化石

本文记述了在禄丰古猿地点发现的鼷鹿科化石两属两种,一为简单云南鼷鹿(新属、新种)Yunnanotherium simplex gen.et sp.nov;另一为进步丘齿鼷鹿 Dorcabune progressus (Yan)。新属、种代表了中新世鼷鹿科中一进步类型,根据齿系特征,它与 Dorcatherium 属的亲缘关系较近。进步丘齿鼷鹿无疑与南亚西瓦立克纳格瑞带的同属动物有密切的关系,但具有一些明显的进步性质。     

禄丰粗壮池猿头骨的初步观察——兼论池猿的系统关系

本文通过粗壮池猿头骨新材料的初步观察得出,它与欧洲上猿的头骨比较接近,而在某些特征上又与现生长臂猿相似。这与牙齿和颌骨研究的结果是一致的。本文还对亚洲第三纪长臂猿类与其他同时代长臂猿类的关系作了初步的探讨,并对池猿的系统关系作了论述。     

禄丰古猿化石地点的鱼化石

在禄丰古猿化石产地采获许多鲤的咽喉齿化石,由形态特征看,相近于现代广泛分布的鲤(Cyprinus carpio Linn.)的咽喉齿,当代表其早期记录。现今云南一带生存有多种鲤,可能为其繁衍的后代,且相当繁盛。这一发现为鲤属(Cyprinus)起源于亚洲提供了化石依据。     

云南禄丰古猿化石地点再次发现腊玛古猿头骨——1981年发掘报告

本文记述了1981年10月—12月在云南禄丰古猿化石地点发掘的地层情况以及古猿、其他灵长类化石的初步观察。此次发掘在第3层发现三个腊玛古猿头骨,其中两个为少年个体,在第5层发现具有较完整下颌支的西瓦古猿下颌骨。这些材料的发现有助于确定腊玛古猿的系统地位和西瓦古猿头骨形态的复原。
