Abstract New Amphicyonidae fossil remains from the early Miocene site of Tuchořice (the Czech Republic) confirm the presence of a new Thaumastocyoninae taxon: Peignecyon felinoides n. gen. et n. sp. It is characterized by a peculiar combination of plesiomorphic and derived morphological traits. The new genus can be defined by a long and sharp mandible diastema, loss of mesial premolars (p2–p3), p4 with an inclined distally high main cuspid, moderate sectorial carnassial teeth, m1 with relict metaconid, and talonid and trigonid of similar width, and reduced M2 and m2. In the phylogenetic analysis the Thaumastocyoninae form a monophyletic group characterized by the start of the m2/M2 reduction, still moderate in Crassidia intermedia (von Meyer, 1849), but remarkable in the other species of the clade. Peignecyon felinoides already shows the advanced features defining the Thaumastocyoninae, and constitutes the sister group of the most specialized genera Tomocyon Viret, 1929b and Thaumastocyon Sthelin et Helbing, 1925. Consequently, it can be considered an excellent link between this group and the more primitive members of the tribe Ysengrini (Ysengrinia Ginsburg, 1966 and Crassidia Heizmannn et Kordikova, 2000). Peignecyon felinoides shows that the trend towards hypercarnivory had already emerged in the European early Miocene fauna, thus helping to understand the complex evolution of the Amphicyonidae during the Miocene.
摘要图乔冰川（捷克共和国）中新世早期的新两栖纲化石遗迹证实了一个新的Thaumastochoninae分类单元的存在：Peignecyon felinoides n.gen.et n.sp.它的特征是蛇颈虫和衍生的形态特征的独特组合。新属可定义为长而锋利的下颌间隙、近中前磨牙缺失（p2–p3）、p4具有倾斜的远侧高主尖牙、中等扇形的无骨牙齿、m1具有残留的元冠、talonid和宽度相似的三角，M2和M2减少。在系统发育分析中，Thaumastochoninae形成了一个以m2/m2减少开始为特征的单系群，在中间克拉ssidia中仍然中等（von Meyer，1849），但在该分支的其他物种中显著。类脂小天鹅已经显示出了定义Thaumastochoninae的高级特征，并构成了最特化的Tomcyon Viret属（1929b）和Thaumastocyon Sthelin et Helbing属（1925）的姐妹群。因此，它可以被认为是该群体与伊森格里尼部落中更原始的成员之间的一个极好的联系（伊森格里尼娅·金斯伯格，1966年和Crassidia Heizmann et Kordikova，2000年）。Peigneyon猫科动物表明，欧洲中新世早期动物群中已经出现了高食肉的趋势，从而有助于理解中新世两栖纲动物的复杂进化。

Abstract A large-sized species of Parasorex is common in the MN 13 mammal assemblages from the uppermost Messinian sandy-marly fissure fillings within the Gessoso Solfifera Formation at Brisighella (Northern Apennine). This erinaceid has been classified as Galerix sp. in the first papers on the Brisighella fauna. Later, it was described in detail in an unpublished Ph.D. dissertation by Fanfani (1999), who referred it to Galerix depereti. Van den Hoek Ostende (2001) included G. depereti in the genus Parasorex, Parasorex depereti has been described by Crochet (1986) on scarce material from a few Early Pliocene (MN 14–15) localities of southern France and Spain. Parasorex cf. depereti has been reported from the Early Pliocene fauna of Capo Mannu (Mandriola, Sardinia; Furió and Angelone 2010). The species seems actually distributed in south-western Europe, where it represents the youngest occurrence of the genus Parasorex. The very abundant sample of P. depereti from fissure filling BRS 25 enables a more accurate and comprehensive description of the species. It also permits inspection of the mesial elements of the dentition, which were lacking in the material examined by Crochet (1986). The systematic position of the species has been revisited and compared with those of other Galericini of the Parasorex group.

Abstract The enamel microstructure of molars in Mexican soricines Megasorex and Cryptotis is described and compared to the six types of schmelzmuster found in fossil and recent Soricidae. These types of schmelzmuster show a high correlation to the current systematics of Soricidae. In Megasorex, the relatively simple schmelzmuster is dominated by radial enamel. However, a very thin innermost layer of differentiated enamel indicates the beginning of a two-layered schmelzmuster. This corresponds to the Notiosorex-schmelzmuster. The teeth of Megasorex lack pigmentation, which is not reflected in its schmelzmuster. Similarities to the white-toothed Crocidura-schmelzmuster are superficial. Cryptotis has the typical two-layered enamel of derived Soricinae. The specific enamel type of the inner layer and the strong lateral inclination of its prisms represent a new modification of the highly derived Blarina-schmelzmuster.

Abstract A thorough consideration is given to the geological, palaeotheriological and malacological materials obtained from the Pleistocene Sanmanych locality, which is the only locality with mammal fauna in the Manych depression (46°24′53″ N, 42°36′25″ E). The brackish-water mollusk composition indicated that the bone-bearing series should be correlated to the Early Khvalynian transgression. The fossil record gives an insight into the palaeoenvironment at the time that the Caspian Sea water broke through the Manych depression into the Black Sea basin. The faunal evidence points to arid conditions and a cool climate. The rodent species composition is rather poor; it exclusively includes species indicative for an open environment, which suggests a wide spread occurrence of steppe and semi-deserts in the Manych valley during the Late Glacial (~16–12 ka BP).
摘要充分考虑了从更新世Sanmanych地区（46°24′53〃N，42°36′25〃E）获得的地质、古兽相学和软体动物学资料。微咸水软体动物的组成表明，该含骨系列应与早期赫瓦利阶海侵有关。化石记录让我们得以深入了解里海海水冲破曼尼奇凹陷进入黑海盆地时的古环境。动物区系的证据表明干旱的环境和凉爽的气候。啮齿动物的种类组成相当差；它只包括指示开放环境的物种，这表明在晚冰川期（约16–12 ka BP），曼尼奇山谷的草原和半沙漠广泛分布。

Abstract An Early Cretaceous mesofossil flora is described from the lower part of the Almargem Formation (late Barremian-early Aptian) from Torres Vedras (NE of Forte da Forca), Portugal. The flora is the oldest mesofossil flora containing angiosperm remains to be described in detail based on well-preserved flower, fruit and seed remains. In addition to angiosperms, the mesofossil flora also includes megaspores, sporangia and tiny leaves of spore-bearing plants. There are also twigs, cone fragments and seeds of conifers and seeds assigned to the BEG group. In total about 100 species have been distinguished. Most abundant in terms of plant fragments identified, are spore-bearing plants and conifers. Although only about 18 % of the specimens can be attributed to angiosperms, angiosperm diversity is unexpected high considering the age of the flora. Angiosperms account for about 62 % of all species recognized. Angiosperm diversity is mainly at the level of ANA-grade angiosperms, eumagnoliids and in a few cases early diverging lineages of monocots. Eudicots are subordinate. Twenty new genera and 28 new species of angiosperms are established (Anaspermum operculatum gen. et sp. nov., Appofructus nudus gen. et sp. nov., Appomattoxia minuta sp. nov., Burgeria striata gen. et sp. nov., Canrightia elongata sp. nov., Choffaticarpus compactus gen. et sp. nov., Dejaxia brevicolpites gen. et sp. nov., Dinisia portugallica gen. et sp. nov., Eckhartia brevicolumella gen. et sp. nov., Eckhartia longicolumella sp. nov., Eckhartia intermedia sp. nov., Eckhartianthus lusitanicus gen. et sp. nov., Eckhartiopsis parva gen. et sp. nov., Gastonispermum antiquum sp. nov., Goczania rugosa gen. et sp. nov., Goczania inaequalis sp. nov., Goczania punctata sp. nov., Ibrahimia verminculata gen. et sp. nov., Juhaszia portugallica gen. et sp. nov., Kempia longicolpites gen. et sp. nov., Kvacekispermum costatum sp. nov., Mcdougallia irregularis gen. et sp. nov., Nicholsia brevicolpites gen. et sp. nov., Piercipollis simplex gen. et sp. nov., Reyanthus lusitanicus gen. et sp. nov., Samylinaea punctata gen. et sp. nov., Teebacia hughesii gen. et sp. nov., Vedresia elliptica gen. et sp. nov.). Comparison with results of a palynological study from the same horizon that yielded the mesofossil flora shows a marked underestimation of angiosperm diversity in the palynoflora, a pattern that has also been recognized elsewhere.
摘要本文描述了葡萄牙Forte da Forca东北部Torres Vedras地区早白垩世Almargem组(barremian晚期- Aptian早期)下部的中化石区系。该植物群是包含被子植物的最古老的中化石植物群，根据保存完好的花、果实和种子的遗骸可以详细描述。除了被子植物，中化石植物区系还包括大孢子、孢子囊和带孢子植物的小叶子。还有针叶树的树枝、球果碎片和种子，以及属于BEG组的种子。总共约有100种已被区分出来。就已鉴定的植物片段而言，最丰富的是孢子植物和针叶树。虽然只有大约18%的标本属于被子植物，但考虑到植物区系的年龄，被子植物的多样性出乎意料地高。被子植物约占所有已知物种的62%。被子植物的多样性主要在ana级被子植物、木兰花和少数单子房早期分化系的水平上。成功者是从属的。新发现被子植物20个新属、28个新种(有盖植物Anaspermum operculatum gen. et sp. 11、牛膝果apapfructus nudus gen. et sp. 11、牛膝果(apomattoxia minuta sp. 11)、布氏布氏菌(Burgeria striata gen. et sp. 11)、长形木参(Canrightia elongata sp. 11)、长形木参(Choffaticarpus compactus sp. 11)、长形木参(diisia portugallica gen. et sp. 11)、短形木参(Eckhartia brevicolumella gen. et sp. 11)、长形木参(Eckhartia lonicolumella sp. 11)、长形木参(Eckhartia intermedia sp. 11)、卢西坦虫草等十一月，小叶虫草等十一月，古加冬虫草等十一月，白斑虫草等十一月，白斑虫草等十一月，寄生虫草等十一月，葡萄牙菊等十一月，长叶虫草等十一月，Kvacekispermum costatum十一月，Mcdougallia irregularis等十一月，Nicholsia brevicolpites等十一月，Piercipollis simplex等十一月，芦杉属(Reyanthus lusitanicus, gen. et sp. nov.)，斑点三叶草属(samylinae punctata, gen. et sp. nov.)，大叶蝉属(tebacia hughesii, gen. et sp. nov.)，椭圆叶蝉属(Vedresia, gen. et sp. nov.)。与产生中化石区系的孢粉学研究结果进行比较，发现孢粉区系中被子植物的多样性明显低估，这种模式在其他地方也得到了承认。

Abstract The Langsettian species Cordaites karvinensis Šimůnek and C. sustae Šimůnek were found conspecific, with C. karvinensis chosen as a correct name. These species come from the same coal seam of the Upper Suchá Member (Upper Silesian Basin, the Czech Republic). Abaxial cuticle from C. karvinensis was found conspicuously similar to Cordaabaxicutis cf. jaworznoensis from the Lower Suchá Member from the strata near the Namurian/Westphalian boundary, as well as to Cordaabaxicutis jaworznoensis Šimůnek et Florjan described from the Orzesze Beds (Duckmantian) from Poland. The abaxial cuticles of all these species are papillate. It is probable that these species are members of one evolutionary lineage, however without information on the leaf morphology connected to the dispersed cuticles of Cordaabaxicutis, this opinion remains hypothetical.
摘要Langsettian物种Cordaites karvinensisŠimůnek和C.sustaeŠim 367 nek被发现是同种的，选择C.karvinensi斯作为正确的名称。这些物种来自上萨沙成员国（捷克共和国上西里西亚盆地）的同一煤层。卡文氏C.karvinensis的轴背角质层与纳穆里安/威斯特伐利亚边界附近地层的Lower SoáMember的Cordaabaxicutis cf.jaworznoensis以及波兰Orzesze Beds（Duckmantian）描述的Cordabaxicutis jaworznoensisŠimůnek et Florjan明显相似。所有这些物种的背面角质层都是乳头状的。这些物种很可能是一个进化谱系的成员，然而，如果没有关于与Cordaabaxicutis分散角质层有关的叶片形态的信息，这种观点仍然是假设的。

Abstract A preliminary revision of the palynological collection of Professor Blanka Pacltová was carried out considering samples from the middle Cenomanian of the Peruc-Korycany Formation, the basal most member of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (the Czech Republic). This collection is mainly composed of slides with palynological residues for light microscope study, which were mounted in the 1960s and 1970s. This work presents an evaluation of the state of preservation of this collection, taking into account the presence of ancient angiosperm pollen types. High percentage of preparations is affected by degradation of glycerine jelly and their remounting is necessary. The present study additionally suggests a methodology for curation of this collection with the objective of long-term preservation.

Abstract Taxodioxylon Hartig (emended by Gothan 1905) was widely described from the late Oligocene of the European part of Turkey (Thrace) and the early Miocene of greater Turkey, Anatolia. Glyptostroboxylon Conw. was also described from the early Miocene of central Anatolia. The purpose of this paper is to present a more detailed extended history of these two genera up to the late Miocene (Tortonian) with new descriptions from the Galatean Volcanic Province in central Turkey. The wood identification showed the presence of two fossil species; Glyptostroboxylon rudolphii Dolezych et Burgh and Taxodioxylon gypsaceum (Göpp.) Greguss. In conclusion, the swamp and lowland warm-temperate forest composition including Glyptostroboxylon and Taxodioxylon in the Galatean Volcanic Province, continued from the early Miocene (Burdigalian) to the late Miocene (Tortonian).
摘要Taxodioxylon Hartig（由Gothan 1905修订）广泛描述于土耳其欧洲部分（色雷斯）的渐新世晚期和大土耳其安纳托利亚的中新世早期。Glyptostroboxylon Conw。也描述于安纳托利亚中部的中新世早期。本文的目的是介绍这两个属到中新世晚期（托托阶）的更详细的扩展历史，并对土耳其中部的加拉太火山省进行了新的描述。木材鉴定显示存在两个化石物种；Glyptostroboxylon rudolphii Dolezych et Burgh和Taxodioxylon gypsaceum（Göpp.）Greguss。总之，Galatean火山省的沼泽和低地暖温带森林组成，包括Glyptostroboxylon和Taxodioxylon，从中新世早期（Burdigalian）一直延续到中新世晚期（Tortonian）。

Abstract Fossil-wood descriptions from Turkey have been increasing in recent years. The aim of the present paper is to redefine four new fossil species according to the protologue for new plant fossil names. As result, these four new fossil species are verified: Cupressinoxylon pliocenica Akkemik sp. nov., Cercioxylon zeynepae Akkemik sp. nov., Zelkovoxylon yesimae Akkemik et I.Poole sp. nov. and Pistacioxylon ufukii Akkemik et I.Poole sp. nov.

Abstract Shales of the early middle Eocene Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation in Utah, western USA, have yielded a large number of fossil plant remains with abundant Platanaceae, Salicaceae, and Ulmaceae, but many of the constituents of this flora remain indeterminate. Here we present a new fruit type based on distinctive sedimentary molds investigated by reflected light and μCT scanning. The structures are oblate woody fruits, about 18–26 mm wide but only 2–4 mm high, but partially flattened by compression within the sediment. In transverse view they are rounded-polygonal, with 5–6 sides. In lateral view the locule is dome-shaped with 7 to 11 obpyriform grooves radiating from the center of the basal wall. Three-dimensional imaging and both physical and digital sections indicate that the fruits were circumscissile capsules. Although analogous fruits occur in the Lecythidaceae A.Rich., Bonanzacarpum sprungerorum sp. nov. fruits are much smaller and lack the prominent woody pedicel and corresponding basal scar that characterizes that family. Hence, the systematic position of B. sprungerorum remains uncertain.
