A lappeted microconch specimen of the phylloceratid ammonoid Juraphyllites from the Tethyan Jurassic of Anatolia (Turkey) indicates that sexual dimorphism in this group was established as early as in the early Lower Pliensbachian (Lower Jurassic) and that dimorphism in this genus of the Phylloceratina follows the same pattern as that proven [or many groups of the Ammonitina. This is the earliest record of well-developed lateral lappets in the Mesozoic Ammonoidea 相似文献

The aim of this study was to document and model the populationdynamics of zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771)in Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR), USA, for fiveconsecutive years (19921996) following their initialdiscovery in September 1991. Artificial substrates (concreteblocks, 0.49 m2 surface area) were deployed on or aroundthe first of May at two sites within each of two habitat types(main channel border and contiguous backwater). Blocks wereremoved monthly (30 ± 10 d) from the end ofMay to the end of October to obtain density and growth information.Some blocks deployed in May 1995 were retrieved in April 1996to obtain information about over-winter growth and survival.The annual density of zebra mussels in Pool 8 of the UMR increasedfrom 3.5/m2 in 1992 to 14,956/m2 in 1996. The average MayOctobergrowth rate of newly recruited individuals, based on a von Bertalanffygrowth model fitted to monthly shell-length composition data,was 0.11 mm/d. Model estimates of the average survivalrate varied from 21 to 100% per month. Estimated recruitmentvaried substantially among months, with highest levels occurringin SeptemberOctober of 1994 and 1996, and in July of1995. Recruitment and density in both habitat types increasedby two orders of magnitude in 1996. Follow-up studies will benecessary to assess the long-term stability of zebra musselpopulations in the UMR; this study provides the critical baselineinformation needed for those future comparisons.

Abstract: Octocorallian and hydroid fossils are described from the Lower Ordovician (Arenig Series) of Wales. They include gorgoniids that are the earliest known fossils of this group: Petilavenula varifurcata gen. et sp. nov. and P. surculosa gen. et sp. nov. Pennalina crossi gen. et sp. nov. is probably also a gorgoniid but may be a hydroid. A new hydroid, Pontifennia gracilis gen. et sp. nov., is also described. 相似文献

记河北省后城组新发现之小型兽脚类足迹(英文) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
几十年前人们就已经开始研究中国东北侏罗纪—白垩纪界线附近地层中的小型兽脚类恐龙足迹,虽然这些遗迹化石比辽宁省义县组带羽毛的恐龙及其他实体化石逊色了许多。本文记述了河北省承德南双庙后城组(土城子组)最下部河流相沉积中发现的一组兽脚类恐龙足迹。南双庙足迹具有三趾,趾粗大,其形态与美国下侏罗统经典的"brontozoid"足迹(Gral- lator,Anchisauripus和Eubrontes)相符。虽然许多产自辽宁土城子组中基本同时的brontozoid足迹被鉴定为小型的跷脚龙足迹属(Grallator),但南双庙足迹更大一些(全长可达28.8 cm),可能应该归入安琪龙足迹属(Anchisauripus)。南双庙足迹很可能是一群小型兽脚类行走而产生。在辽宁义县组的兽脚类恐龙中,最可能留下这类足迹的是小型的窃蛋龙类——尾羽龙(Caudipteryx)。不过这个解释还很勉强,因为这些足迹缺乏鉴定性特征,而且河北的后城组与辽宁的义县组之间还有一定的时间及地理间隔。 相似文献
