The density of conodont elements is between 2.90 g cm-3 and 3.04 g cm-3, probably very close to 3.00. Removing all traces of dolomite and calcium carbonate before density separation keeps the viscosity of sodium polytungstate solution low enough to make it useful for density separations as high as 3.04 g cm-3. In most cases, a nearly clean phosphatic fraction can be produced by adding this method to existing standard techniques. The oxidizing technique to remove pyrite is also discussed. In all kinds of physical concentration work consideration of the “bulk density” is very important for good results, especially regarding coniforms.
牙形石元素密度在2.90 ~ 3.04 g cm-3之间,可能非常接近3.00。在密度分离之前去除所有白云石和碳酸钙的痕迹,使多钨酸钠溶液的粘度足够低,使其可用于高达3.04 g cm-3的密度分离。在大多数情况下,通过将该方法添加到现有的标准技术中,可以产生几乎干净的磷酸馏分。并对氧化法脱除黄铁矿的工艺进行了探讨。在各种物理浓缩工作中,考虑“堆积密度”对于取得好的结果是非常重要的,特别是对于一致性。

The Cretaceous scaphopod (molluscan) fauna of mainland Australia is characterised by a rather depauperate and poorly known assemblage of five species: dentaliids Dentalium (Dentalium) n. sp. A (probably Aptian), Dentalium (Dentalium) n. sp. B (Cenomanian), and Dentalium (Dentalium) n. sp. C (Maastrichtian); fustiariid Fustiaria wollumbillaensis (Etheridge, Jr., 1892) (Late Aptian-Albian?); and laevidentaliid Laevidentalium cretaustralium n. sp. (Late Albian). Each species is endemic to either the Great Artesian Basin or Carnarvon Basin of Australia. A probable sixth species is recorded from Cenomanian deposits of Bathurst Island, but the affinity of this taxon is uncertain. In some shell beds of the Allaru Formation, scaphopods dominate the preserved macrobenthos. Although at species level the fauna is endemic, strongly cosmopolitan genus level links of the scaphopods mirror that of other groups of molluscs (bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods), indicating derivation from evolutionary separation from pre-ex...
澳大利亚大陆白垩纪的蹼足动物(软体动物)动物群的特征是一个相当不发达和鲜为人知的五种组合:Dentalium (Dentalium) n. sp. a(可能是Aptian), Dentalium (Dentalium) n. sp. B (Cenomanian)和Dentalium (Dentalium) n. sp. C (Maastrichtian);Fustiaria wollumbillaensis (Etheridge, Jr., 1892)(晚Aptian-Albian?);和Laevidentalium cretaustralium n. sp.(晚Albian)。每种物种都是澳大利亚大自流盆地或卡纳文盆地的特有物种。在巴瑟斯特岛的Cenomanian沉积物中可能记录了第六种,但该分类群的亲缘性尚不确定。在Allaru组的一些壳层中,保存的大型底栖动物以舟形类为主。尽管在物种水平上,该动物群是地方性的,但在强世界性的属水平上,桨足类动物的联系反映了其他软体动物群(双壳类、腹足类、头足类)的联系,这表明它们是从前物种进化分离出来的。

This paper describes a single specimen of Metalegoceras sp. recently discovered from the upper part of the Singa Formation at Batu Asah on the main Langkawi Island off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The discovery represents the first report of a Permian ammonoid from the island and from the Singa Formation and confirms a Sakmarian (Early Permian) age for this part of the formation suggested by brachiopods.

Early to Late Devonian (Emsian to late Famennian) organic walled microfossils were recovered from nineteen localities throughout the Tamworth Belt, northern New South Wales. The microfossil assemblages included poorly preserved chitinozoans and scolecodonts, spores and moderately well preserved foraminiferal linings. Fourteen species of foraminiferal linings from six genera are documented. At least three species of foramininferal linings (Inauris tubulata, Saccammina mea and Thurammina pustulosa) show potential for global correlation. Saccammina sp. cf. S. ampullacea and Thurammina mirrka may have application for correlation within Australia.

Djaludjangi yadjana sp. nov. represents a previously unknown genus of petauroid possum from Riversleigh in northwestern Queensland. Of known phalangeridans Djaludjangi most closely resembles the Petauridae, but lacks synapomorphies previously used to define that family. Although considered likely a plesiomorphic petaurid, D. yadjana is referred here to Petauroidea: incertae sedis, pending comprehensive revision of phalangeriform dental character state distributions. Small possum diversity at Riversleigh indicates a complex and finely partitioned environment such as that found in present-day tropical forests; the discovery at Riversleigh of Australia's first Tertiary dactylopsiline species also argues for a rainforest palaeohabitat.

The Cretaceous Mollusca (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Scaphopoda) from the Chatham Islands, New Zealand consists of a moderately diverse faunule of 37 species in the Kahuitara Tuff of Pitt Island. At least 16 (c.43%) of the taxa are conspecific with mainland New Zealand species and at least 15 (c.41%) taxa are endemic to Chatham Islands. New species proposed are Crenella n. sp., Chlamys (Lyriochlamys) n. sp., Chlamys s. l. n. sp., Camptonectes n. sp., Eburneopecten freneixae n. sp., Dimyodon n. sp., Purpurocardia n. sp., Lahillia n. sp., Solyma flemingae n. sp., Brookula s. l. n. sp., Calliomphalus s. l. n. sp., Pyrgulifera kahuitara n. sp., and Ageria? n. sp. Most taxa (c.41%) are epifaunal suspension feeding bivalves and dominate the Cretaceous macrofauna. Less dominant are infaunal suspension feeding bivalves (30%). Epifaunal browsers (c.14%), deposit feeders (8%) and carnivores (5%) are minor components. An open marine, shallow shelf environment is advocated. A latest Cretaceous (Campanian?-Maastrichtian) ag...

Fossil remains of Genyornis newtoni and Dromaius novaehollandiae recovered from horizons at Cuddie Springs, in central northern New South Wales, are securely dated to greater than 30,000 b.p. Genyornis newtoni and D. novaehollandiae were found in sequential layers in association with artefacts of human occupation and other species of megafauna. Palaeoenvironmental information indicates the specimens of G. newtoni were deposited when the region supported an arid vegetation community, principally chenopod shrubland with scattered Eucalyptus and Acacia species. The appearance of Dromaius and disappearance of Genyornis coincided with a local shift to grasslands and the drying of the Cuddie Springs lake. New evidence is presented for the persistence of Genyornis in the arid zone during the lead up to the Last Glacial Maximum.

Palaeoenvironmental information indicates the specimens of G. newtoni were deposited when the region supported an arid vegetation community, principally chenopod shrubland with scattered Eucalyptus and Acacia species. The appearance of Dromaius and disappearance of Genyornis coincided with a local shift to grasslands and the drying of the Cuddie Springs lake. New evidence is presented for the persistence of Genyornis in the arid zone during the lead up to the Last Glacial Maximum.","PeriodicalId":50830,"journal":{"name":"Alcheringa","volume":"22 1","pages":"177-188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/03115519808619199","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59988475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
