This study reports the Middle to Late Jurassic (Bajocian–Oxfordian) benthic foraminiferal assemblages from Kachchh, India, and assesses their significance as palaeoenvironmental proxies. Four distinct assemblages are identified to evaluate marine benthic foraminiferal groups along the inner-to-outer shelf gradient. From Bajocian to Oxfordian, four environmental fluctuation events were recognised. These fluctuations were examined in relation to bathymetry, organic matter (food availability), oxic and anoxic conditions, and species diversity. Except for the lower Callovian assemblages, the others exhibit favourable environments, ranging from moderately mesotrophic to eutrophic, middle to outer neritic (100–150 m), well-oxygenated conditions and specific diversities. The fluctuations may be due to the increased food influx (Bajocian–Callovian) and decreased dissolved oxygen in the bottom water (Callovian–Oxfordian). Fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and supply of organic matter were the primary environmental factors influencing the distribution pattern of benthic foraminiferal species in the Kachchh Basin. In shallow marine environments with well-oxygenated bottom waters, food availability and oxygen levels played a more decisive role in shaping assemblage structure than bathymetry. However, water depth exerted a greater influence on species distribution in deeper settings.
本研究报告了印度Kachchh地区中至晚侏罗世(巴约世-牛津世)底栖有孔虫组合,并评估了它们作为古环境指标的意义。确定了四个不同的组合来评估海洋底栖有孔虫群沿着内外陆架梯度。从巴约西亚到牛津,他们发现了四种环境波动事件。这些波动与测深、有机物(食物供应)、缺氧和缺氧条件以及物种多样性有关。除下Callovian组合外,其他组合均表现出中等中营养型到富营养型、中浅海到浅海外浅海(100-150 m)、良好的含氧条件和特定的多样性。波动可能是由于食物流入增加(巴约纪-卡洛纪)和底部水溶解氧减少(卡洛纪-牛津纪)。溶解氧和有机质供给的波动是影响Kachchh盆地底栖有孔虫分布格局的主要环境因子。在底部含氧良好的浅海环境中,食物供应和含氧量在形成组合结构方面比水深测量起更决定性的作用。而水深对物种分布的影响更大。

An enigmatic new family of minute (less than 1 mm in length) proctotrupomorphan wasps is described and figured from Lower Cretaceous Lebanese amber. Uroprionulidae n. fam. is established for the new genus and species, Uroprionulus zenobia n. gen. n. sp. from the Bcharreh District of Lebanon. The fossil is a female with an elongate ovipositor and sheaths and with wings superficially resembling those of several extinct families of minute Proctotrupomorpha, such as Alavarommatidae, Archaeoserphitidae, and Spathiopterygidae. The characters of the family are considered in the context of those for other lineages of Proctotrupomorpha and a tentative revised classification is outlined.

A well-preserved radiolarian assemblage was studied from the Upper Jurassic of the Domodedovo quarry, Moscow Region, Central Russia. Radiolarians were found within the Ermolino Formation (upper Oxfordian to lower Kimmeridgian), in phosphatic concretions. The radiolarian assemblage is represented by 29 species of 13 genera and has a boreal affinity with some southern influence indicated by the presence of Pantanellium. The assemblage is characterized by the abundance of Praeconocaryomma, common presence of Praeparvicingula, and rare presence of Phantum, Acanthocircus, Pantanellium and Nordvikella. Four new species are described: Acastea laevispina n. sp., Praeconocaryomma blomei n. sp., Phantum robustum n. sp., Nordvikella simplex n. sp.

Pliohyracidae, a group of large-bodied hyracoids, successfully colonised Eurasia during the late Cenozoic. However, their cranial morphology has remained poorly understood due to the scarcity of complete specimens in East Asia, particularly for Postschizotherium. This study presents the first nearly complete cranium of Postschizotherium cf. intermedium from the Early Pleistocene Longdan locality in Gansu Province, China. The cranium exhibits several distinctive features, including an exceptionally laterally projecting orbit, a massive maxillary sinus that significantly invades the orbital fossa, and a highly developed pre-orbital fossa system. These morphological traits, especially the first one, suggest that Postschizotherium is closely related to Pliohyrax and Kvabebihyrax, both being large pliohyracids from the upper Cenozoic of East Europe and West Asia. The morphology also suggests that Postschizotherium likely occupied semi-aquatic habitats, similar to those of extant hippos, with a diet primarily consisting of grasses. The discovery of this species at Longdan also provides evidence for a relatively humid palaeoenvironment in the region during the earliest Pleistocene, contributing to our understanding of the palaeoenvironmental conditions and evolutionary history of pliohyracids in Eurasia.
多水螅科是一群体型庞大的水螅类动物,在晚新生代成功地殖民了欧亚大陆。然而,由于东亚地区缺乏完整的标本,特别是分裂后动物的标本,它们的颅骨形态仍然知之甚少。本文报道了甘肃龙丹地区早更新世的首个几乎完整的后分裂目(cfm . intermedium)头盖骨。颅骨有几个显著的特征,包括异常外侧突出的眼眶,巨大的上颌窦明显侵入眶窝,高度发达的眶窝前系统。这些形态特征,特别是第一个形态特征,表明后schizotherium与来自东欧和西亚上新生代的大型多水螅类Pliohyrax和kvabbihyrax关系密切。形态还表明,后分裂目动物可能占据半水生栖息地,类似于现存的河马,其饮食主要由草组成。该物种的发现也为该地区更新世早期相对湿润的古环境提供了证据,有助于我们对欧亚大陆多水螅类古环境条件和进化史的认识。

The investigation of acritarch and prasinophyte assemblages from the Tangchih Formation of Lower Ordovician outcrops from the eastern Yunnan Province reveals the presence of 39 genera and 54 species. The assemblages are dominated by the genera Coryphidium, Dactylofusa, Leiosphaeridia, Lophosphaeridium, Micrhystridium, Polygonium, Rhopaliophora, and the galeate acritarch plexus. The first occurrences of Aryballomorpha, Aureotesta clathrata simplex, Barakella, Coryphidium, C. bohemicum, Dactylofusa velifera, Dasydorus, Peteinosphaeridium, Rhopaliophora, Striatotheca and Vulcanisphaera indicate that the age of the Tangchih Formation corresponds to the latest Tremadocian to Floian. The microflora can be correlated to the messaoudensis-trifidum assemblage of western Europe and coeval assemblages worldwide. In terms of palaeoecology, the composition of the palynomorph assemblage, together with sedimentological and trace fossil evidence, indicates a shallow-water environment in the study area during the late Tremadocian to early Floian. In the context of palaeobiogeography, the palynomorph assemblage contains elements of both the ‘warm water’ Aryballomorpha-Athabascaella-Lua assemblage and the ‘cold water’ diacromorph acritarchs, possibly showing a mixed microflora in South China during the Early Ordovician.
对云南东部下奥陶统唐池组露头石藓属和树藓属植物组合进行了调查,发现存在39属54种。该组合主要由Coryphidium属、Dactylofusa属、Leiosphaeridia属、Lophosphaeridium属、Micrhystridium属、Polygonium属、Rhopaliophora属和galate acritarch丛属组成。Aryballomorpha、Aureotesta clathrata simplex、Barakella、Coryphidium、C. bohemicum、Dactylofusa velifera、Dasydorus、Peteinosphaeridium、Rhopaliophora、Striatotheca和Vulcanisphaera的首次出现表明,tangchi组的时代对应于Tremadocian晚期至Floian晚期。该菌群可与西欧的messaoudensis- triidum菌群和世界范围内的同时期菌群相关联。古生态学方面,结合沉积学和微量化石证据,表明研究区在特雷马多世晚期至弗洛世早期处于浅水环境。在古生物地理背景下,该组合包含了“温水”aryballomorphaa - athabascaella - lua组合和“冷水”diacromorphacritarchs的元素,可能显示了早奥陶世华南地区的混合微生物区系。

The present study conducts foraminiferal analyses to evaluate the palaeoenvironmental conditions (e.g., palaeobathymetry, palaeooxygenation, and palaeoproductivity) of the upper Campanian–Maastrichtian Sudr Formation at Wadi Askhar El-Bahari, Northern Galala Plateau, Northern Eastern Desert, Egypt. Since the Sudr Formation received no attention concerning the foraminiferal content, a planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphic framework was constructed, revealing nine (from Globotruncanella havanensis to Plummerita hantkeninoides) biozones. Furthermore, various quantitative and multivariate analyses of the recorded benthic foraminifera were performed to infer the variations in the palaeobathymetry, palaeooxygenation, and palaeoproductivity during the late Campanian–Maastrichtian. Seven benthic foraminiferal clusters were identified through statistical grouping analysis, revealing various distinct assemblages that differ in biotic traits (e.g., life-habit and diversity) and abiotic traits (e.g., oxygen availability and nutrient availability). A multidimensional plotting method (i.e., Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling) of the studied samples revealed eight main biofacies (I–VIII), each with a characteristic faunal composition. The vertical distribution of these biofacies reflects fluctuations in palaeo-water depth, oxygen, and nutrient availability. The lowermost part of the Sudr Formation is characterized by biofacies I, II, and III, indicating well-oxygenated, oligotrophic, outer neritic to upper bathyal environments. This is followed upward by intervals with biofacies II, IV, and V, reflecting oligo- to mesotrophic, upper bathyal environment, with well-oxygenated conditions. The upper half of the Sudr Formation comprises alternating intervals with biofacies IV, V, VII, representing well-oxygenated, mesotrophic, upper bathyal environment, and intervals with biofacies VI and VIII, characterizing poor-oxygenated, eutrophic, outer neritic to upper bathyal environments.
本文通过有孔虫分析,评价了埃及东部沙漠北部加拉拉高原Wadi Askhar El-Bahari上坎帕尼亚-马斯垂克斯坦苏德尔组的古环境条件(古水深、古氧合和古生产力)。由于苏德组有孔虫含量未受到重视,因此构建了浮游有孔虫生物地层格架,揭示了9个生物带(从Globotruncanella havanensis到Plummerita hantkeninoides)。此外,对记录的底栖有孔虫进行了各种定量和多元分析,以推断坎帕尼亚-马斯特里赫特晚期的古水深、古氧合和古生产力的变化。通过统计分组分析,确定了7个底栖有孔虫群,揭示了不同的生物特征(如生活习惯和多样性)和非生物特征(如氧气有效性和养分有效性)的不同组合。研究样本的多维绘图方法(即非度量多维尺度)显示了8个主要的生物相(I-VIII),每个生物相都有一个特征的动物组成。这些生物相的垂直分布反映了古水深、氧气和养分有效性的波动。苏德尔组下部发育ⅰ、ⅱ、ⅲ生物相,为富氧、少营养、浅海外浅海至上深海环境。随后向上为生物相II、IV和V段,反映了低营养到中营养的上深海环境,具有良好的氧合条件。苏德尔组上半段为IV、V、VII生物相段,为富氧、中营养化、上深海环境;VI、VIII生物相段,为贫氧、富营养化、外浅海至上深海环境。

As a small-sized Bovini, Pachyportax, originated in the Late Miocene Siwaliks and subsequently dispersed to neighbouring regions in Southeast Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, and eventually reached Yunnan, China. However, no fossil material of this genus had been discovered in China prior to this study. Here we report a new species Pachyportax zhaotongensis n. sp., from an important fossil ape locality, the Shuitangba site in Zhaotong, Yunnan, China, dated at approximately 6.2 Ma. The new species displays the diagnostic characteristics of Pachyportax, such as a robust horn core that extends laterally and backward, with a slightly convex medial side and a flatter lateral side, featuring anterior and posterior keels; the cheek teeth are hypsodont, with moderately developed ribs, folds and basal pillars. It also shows some differences from the known species: the horn core insertion is distant from the orbit and shows no significant torsion, and the anterior and posterior keels on the horn core are less pronounced. These advanced characteristics indicated that Pachyportax zhaotongensis n. sp. represents a late evolutionary stage of Pachyportax. This is also the first report of Pachyportax in China. In addition, based on a phylogenetic analysis, we clarify the relationship of Selenoportax and Pachyportax, and briefly explore the evolution and geographical distribution of the two genera.
Pachyportax是一种小型的Bovini,起源于晚中新世的siwalik,随后分散到东南亚和阿拉伯半岛的邻近地区,最终到达中国云南。然而,在此研究之前,在中国尚未发现该属的化石材料。本文报道了一新种Pachyportax zhaotongensis n. sp,来自中国云南昭通水塘坝类人猿化石重要产地,其年代约为6.2 Ma。该新种表现出Pachyportax的诊断特征,如强健的角核向外侧和向后延伸,内侧略凸,外侧较平,具有前后龙骨;颊齿是下齿,有中等发育的肋骨、褶皱和基柱。它也显示出与已知物种的一些差异:角核插入距离轨道较远,没有明显的扭转,角核上的前后龙骨不太明显。这些先进的特征表明,Pachyportax zhaotongensis n. sp代表了Pachyportax的晚期进化阶段。这也是国内首次报道Pachyportax。此外,在系统发育分析的基础上,明确了Selenoportax和Pachyportax的关系,并简要探讨了这两个属的进化和地理分布。

This study reports the Teredolites clavatus borings within the Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber from the Hammana-Mdeirij outcrop, offering new insights into the taphonomy of a fossil resin. These findings represent one of the oldest known examples of this ichnospecies in fossil resins and are similar in age to borings known from the Jordanian amber. The club-shaped borings produced by marine wood-boring bivalves (most probably piddocks) are interpreted as domichnia belonging to the Teredolites ichnofacies. Four amber pebbles containing well-preserved borings were examined, one of which retains a distinct bioglyph on its interior surface. The impact of interpretation fossil resins as a xylic or lithic substrate is presented, in ichnotaxonomical and paleoenvironmental contexts. The studied specimens support a taphonomic model in which bored amber fragments were reworked and deposited, together with xylite material, during a regressive phase along the Tethyan shoreline. The absence of Apectoichnus and other woodground borings corroborates this interpretation. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using trace fossils in amber for reconstructing depositional environments and enhances the ichnological and paleoecological framework of Lebanese amber-bearing sequences with new data.
本研究报告了Hammana-Mdeirij露头的早白垩世黎巴嫩琥珀中的Teredolites clavatus钻孔,为化石树脂的埋藏学提供了新的见解。这些发现代表了化石树脂中已知最古老的鱼属物种之一,其年龄与约旦琥珀中已知的钻孔相似。海相钻木双壳类(极有可能是piddocks)产生的棍棒状钻孔被解释为属于Teredolites技术相的孔洞。研究人员检查了四个琥珀鹅卵石,其中包含保存完好的钻孔,其中一个在其内部表面保留了一个独特的生物图案。在生物分类和古环境背景下,将化石树脂解释为木质或岩屑基质的影响。所研究的标本支持一种埋藏学模型,即在特提斯海岸线的退化阶段,钻孔琥珀碎片被重新加工并与木石材料一起沉积。Apectoichnus和其他林地钻孔的缺失证实了这一解释。本研究证明了利用琥珀中微量化石重建沉积环境的可行性,并以新的资料增强了黎巴嫩含琥珀层序的技术和古生态格局。

As phylogenetically basal metazoans, sponges (phylum Porifera) provide crucial insights into the origins of animal biomineralization and early body plan innovation. However, articulated sponge fossils remain exceptionally rare in Ediacaran–Cambrian transition strata, with most records limited to isolated spicules or ambiguous biomineralized structures. This study reports siliceous and phosphatically preserved sponge spicule tufts from the lower Yanjiahe Formation (∼535 Ma, Fortunian Stage) at the Muyangxi section (eastern Three Gorges area, South China). Dominated by monaxons, with co-occurring pentactine spicules, two morphotypes are distinguished: Type 1 tufts comprise slender, hollow monaxons (mean value of the maximum width: ∼15.9 µm, n = 37) with uniform near-parallel alignment, while Type 2 tufts consist of sturdier phosphatized monaxons (mean value of the maximum width: ∼91.1 µm, n = 135) arranged as subparallel bundles, slightly radially oriented arrangements, and sometimes semi-randomly in single layers, occasionally with perpendicular alignments to the adjacent layers. Small curved oxeas in the Type 2 tufts suggest incipient hierarchical organization. Although fragmentary preservation limits taxonomic resolution, these tufts likely represent the earliest unequivocal biomineralized sponges, potentially corresponding to stem-group Demospongiae and/or Hexactinellida (Silicea). In combination with the previous evidences found from the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition, we hypothesize that early sponge biomineralization was likely monaxon-dominated, with hexactines arising via axial fusion or increased axis number, culminating in hexactinellid diversification by Terreneuvian Stage 2. Integrated with Small Shelly Fossil Zone 1 biochronology, our findings indicate rapid pre-Fortunian to Fortunian-stage spicule enlargement (≤ 200 μm to ≥ 500 μm) and architectural complexification, aligning with early Cambrian ecological escalation. Alternatively, it is possible that the divergence between Hexactinellida and Demospongiae may predate biomineralization, as their last common ancestor may have lacked siliceous spicules. The Yanjiahe spicules illuminate a critical prelude to the Cambrian sponge explosion, bridging Ediacaran soft-bodied ancestors and later diverse, mineralized clades.
作为系统发育上的基础后生动物,海绵(门Porifera)为动物生物矿化和早期身体结构创新的起源提供了重要的见解。然而,在埃迪卡拉-寒武纪过渡地层中,关节海绵化石仍然非常罕见,大多数记录仅限于孤立的针状体或模糊的生物矿化结构。本文报道了三峡东部木羊溪剖面下延家河组(~ 535 Ma,福图尼期)的硅质和磷化保存的海绵针状簇。以单轴突为主,同时出现五行状针状体,可区分为两种形态:1型簇包括细长中空的单轴突(最大宽度平均值:~ 15.9µm, n = 37),具有均匀的近平行排列,而2型簇由更坚固的磷化单轴突组成(最大宽度平均值:~ 91.1µm, n = 135)排列成亚平行束,略呈放射状排列,有时半随机排列在单层中,偶尔与相邻层垂直排列。2型丛中的小弯曲的牛轭表明了等级组织的初步形成。尽管碎片的保存限制了分类学的分辨率,但这些簇可能代表了最早的明确的生物矿化海绵,可能对应于茎群Demospongiae和/或Hexactinellida (silea)。结合埃迪卡拉-寒武纪过渡时期的证据,我们推测早期海绵生物矿化可能以单轴生物为主,通过轴向融合或轴数增加产生六轴生物,最终在Terreneuvian第2阶段实现六轴生物多样化。结合小Shelly化石带1的生物年代学,研究结果表明,前福尔图尼期至福尔图尼期针状体迅速扩大(≤200 μm至≥500 μm),建筑复杂,与早寒武世的生态升级一致。另外,Hexactinellida和Demospongiae之间的分化可能早于生物矿化,因为它们最后的共同祖先可能缺乏硅质针状体。延家河针状体揭示了寒武纪海绵大爆发的一个重要前奏,连接了埃迪卡拉纪的软体祖先和后来多样化的矿化进化枝。

The present study deals with the conodont fauna and its biostratigraphy recorded in the upper 14 m of the San Juan Formation at the Potrerillos Creek section, northern Central Precordillera of Argentina. The analysis of seven conodont samples from levels of biostratigraphic interest allowed the identification of 10,676 conodont elements, assigned to 41 genera and 59 species. One new genus (Resinodus n. gen.) and two new species (Resinodus nalamamacatus n. gen. n. sp. and Tripodus precolaevis n. sp.) are defined, expanding the knowledge of conodont taxonomy for the Dapingian (Middle Ordovician) in Argentina. Recognition of Tripodus precolaevis n. sp., whose range is restricted to the early–middle Dapingian, supports the definition of the Tripodus precolaevis Zone in the upper San Juan Formation. This biozone potentially correlates with the Baltoniodus triangularis Zone in China and Baltica, and possibly also in northwestern Argentina. The Tripodus precolaevis Zone may correlate with the lower part of the Tripodus laevis Zone and the lower part of the Neomultioistodus compressus/Tricladiodus clypeus Zone in North America. The conodont elements from the Potrerillos Creek section have a CAI of 2.5–3, indicating burial paleotemperatures of 85 °C–200 °C. Most elements display overgrowths of silica crystals, while a few elements have recrystallized surface lamella. These fossilization features may be attributed to diagenetic effects due to intense tectonism in the Andean Orogeny.
本文研究了阿根廷中部Precordillera北部Potrerillos Creek剖面圣胡安组上部14 m处的牙形石动物群及其生物地层学记录。对来自生物地层兴趣水平的7个牙形石样本进行分析,鉴定出10,676个牙形石元素,归属于41属59种。确定了一个新属(Resinodus n. gen.)和两个新种(Resinodus nalamamacatus n. gen. sp.和Tripodus precolaevis n. sp.),扩大了阿根廷大坪期(中奥陶世)牙形刺分类的知识。发现范围局限于大坪纪早中期的三足前colaevis n. sp.,支持了圣胡安组上部三足前colaevis带的定义。该生物带可能与中国和波罗的海的Baltoniodus triangularis生物带有关,也可能与阿根廷西北部的Baltoniodus triangularis生物带有关。Tripodus precolaevis带可能与北美洲的Tripodus laevis带的下部和nemultiistodus compressus/Tricladiodus clypeus带的下部相对应。potrerilllos Creek剖面牙形石元素的CAI值为2.5 ~ 3,表明古埋藏温度为85℃~ 200℃。大多数元素显示出硅晶体的过度生长,而少数元素表面有再结晶的薄片。这些化石特征可能是由于安第斯造山运动强烈的构造作用造成的成岩作用。
