ABSTRACT Jinonicella kolebabai Pokorný, 1978, a small problematic “mollusc” of unknown origin is described from the early Silurian (early to mid Llandovery) of east Siberia. This is the first record of Jinonicella from Siberia. Previous Silurian records of Jinonicella were from the late Llandovery (Telychian) of North America and the Wenlock to Ludlow of Europe (Bohemia, Gotland and the Carnic Alps of Austria). Jinonicella shows a wide range of geographic and stratigraphic distribution. It was reported from three palaeocontinents and several smaller terranes. It also demonstrates adaptation to different environments from shallow to deep-water settings, and spans several climatic zones from equatorial to temperate belts. The wide distribution and adaptation to a broad range of environments allow Jinonicella to subsist for about 100 my, i.e., from the Middle Ordovician to the Late Devonian surviving through two major extinction events.

ABSTRACT The Herräng mafic dykes form an E-W-trending dyke swarm within the Bergslagen lithotectonic unit of the Svecofennian orogen in east-central Sweden. They intrude the Svecofennian supracrustal rocks and early-orogenic granitoids, but are themselves cut by late Svecofennian pegmatites, and have undergone Svecofennian amphibolite-facies metamorphism, leading to their classification as “intraorogenic” Svecofennian dykes. They can be assigned an age between 1870 and 1850 Ma, with metamorphism of the dykes dated at 1848 ± 13 Ma by U-Pb in titanite. Their current mineralogy is dominated by metamorphic plagioclase and amphibole, with variable amounts of quartz and biotite, and minor to accessory titanite, apatite, epidote, pyrite, magnetite, ilmenite and zircon. Textures range from massive to strongly foliated. Twenty samples of dyke rocks from three subareas in the Roslagen region, including the Herräng type area, range in composition from basaltic to andesitic with 47 to 60 wt% SiO2, broadly similar to the Dannemora dykes and the Avesta-Östhammar gabbros and diorites. Initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (at 1870 Ma) varies between 0.7026 and 0.7038, corresponding to initial εSr between +5 and +21, and initial εNd between −0.4 and +1.3, suggesting a slightly enriched to mildly depleted mantle source, similar to other Svecofennian mafic rocks. The dykes dominantly show a calc-alkaline volcanic arc signature related to subduction. They formed during an extensional episode, possibly related to incipient back-arc spreading or subduction roll-back following the main early-orogenic subduction-related Svecofennian magmatism, but penecontemporaneous with amphibolite-facies metamorphism in the area.

ABSTRACT The δ13C chemostratigraphy of five of the seven Ordovician global stages has been published previously but no such data have been available from the Floian GSSP and most of the Sandbian GSSP in Sweden. This lack of information has now been remedied by isotope data obtained from series of closely spaced shale samples collected from the Floian stratotype at Diabasbrottet in Västergötland and the Sandbian stratotype at Fågelsång in Scania. Although the bases of these stages cannot be precisely tied to levels of conspicuous δ13C excursions, that of the Floian Stage, which is marked by the appearance of the graptolite Tetragraptus approximatus, is between the closely spaced excursions named LTNICE and BFICE. The base of the Sandbian Stage, which is defined as the appearance level of the graptolite Nemagraptus gracilis, is just below a negative excursion previously known as the “Upper Kukruse Low”, which is nowadays known as the LSNICE. The relations between chemostratigraphy and graptolite and conodont biostratigraphy in the Swedish GSSPs and some coeval key sections in Baltoscandia, China, and America are briefly discussed. It is concluded that the data at hand indicate that there is good regional agreement in these relations.

ABSTRACT Two described specimens of the gastropod Bellerophon tenuifascia J. de C. Sowerby, 1824, from the Carboniferous (Asbian) of the Isle of Man, United Kingdom, preserve repaired injuries resulting from environmental breakage and failed, non-lethal, predatory attacks. Deep scars attributed to predatory attacks are assigned to the ichnofossil Caedichnus and were focused on the mid-dorsal area of the aperture. Abundant small-scale scallops and chipping of growth lamellae distributed around the apertural margin are mainly the result of environmental damage. A deeply incised injury in the aperture of one specimen was probably a fatal injury.

ABSTRACT A long history of geological research on the island of Gotland, Sweden, has resulted in a detailed biostratigraphy based on conodonts for the Gotland sedimentary succession, but the relation between the Hamra and Sundre formations, the youngest strata on southern Gotland, has remained poorly resolved. These formations have also remained relatively poorly described in terms of vertebrates compared to other parts of the succession. A survey of museum collections and newly sampled material reveal that the taxonomical compositions and richness of vertebrate faunas remain similar compared to the underlying Burgsvik Sandstone and Oolite members. However, the relative abundance of the respective groups changes: Paralogania ludlowiensis and rare osteostracan remains of Tahulaspis sp. only occur in samples from the lower Hamra Formation, while Thelodus sculptilis becomes more common in samples from Sundre Formation. Conodont and isotope data give support to previous suggestions that the Hamra and Sundre formations may be largely isochronous, and it is possible that the observed differences in vertebrate faunas reflect changes in depositional setting. This interval on Gotland has been suggested to represent a hiatus in the East Baltic sections, where younger strata show an increased importance of acanthodians in the vertebrate faunas. Gotland could therefore give insights into the early stages of this diversification of gnathostomes during late Silurian times. However, this has to be done in combination with data from other areas, as well as with a review and revision of the scale-based taxonomy of Silurian acanthodians from the Baltic Basin.

ABSTRACT The upper Middle to basal Upper Ordovician succession (Darriwilian to Sandbian) of the Fågelsång-3 drill core provides new important information on the graptolite biostratigraphy of Scania, southern Sweden. The Scanian succession is known largely from drill cores and a few scattered outcrops exposing only parts of the interval. The Darriwilian Almelund Shale Formation overlies the Komstad Limestone Formation and has a thickness of more than 42 m in the Fågelsång-3 drill core. A seemingly complete succession through the Holmograptus lentus, Nicholsonograptus fasciculatus, Pterograptus elegans, Pseudamplexograptus distichus and Jiangxigraptus vagus biozones can be recognized. Some intervals are poorly documented by their respective graptolite faunas or show extensive post-depositional tectonic deformation. The Nemagraptus gracilis Biozone of earliest Sandbian age cannot be positively identified, even though fragments of Nemagraptus have been discovered in the uppermost part of the Almelund Shale below the Fågelsång Phosphorite Bed.

ABSTRACT Fine-fraction K‒Ar dating and illite crystallinity determination were applied on a peculiar pale olive green shale sample from the upper Ediacaran Indreelva Member (Stáhpogieddi Formation, Vestertana Group, Gaissa Nappe Complex) of the Digermulen Peninsula in Finnmark, Arctic Norway, to constrain the age and metamorphic conditions of tectono-thermal overprint. The <2 and <0.2 µm grain-size fractions are almost purely illite and yielded an illite crystallinity (expressed as the Kübler index) of 0.215 Δ° 2θ and 0.228 ∆° 2θ and K‒Ar ages of 403.9 ± 4.2 and 391.5 ± 4.0 Ma, respectively. The K‒Ar ages are interpreted to present late-stage thermal overprint under low epizonal conditions along a localised shear zone, likely post-dating the peak of metamorphism and cleavage generation on the Digermulen Peninsula. Thus, a later tectono-metamorphic event related to the late stage of the Scandian orogeny is locally recorded in the Gaissa Nappe Complex of the Caledonides of Finnmark. This late Scandian event was probably caused by orogenic extensional collapse and appears to have extended at least into Mid-Devonian time.

ABSTRACT Four separate rhyolitic ash layers (from 0.3 to 2.5 m in thickness) and dispersed fine-sized pyroclastic material were found for the first time within Turonian-Coniacian volcaniclastic–siliciclastic coal-bearing Derevyannye Gory Formation. It was concluded the terrigenous sedimentation in the studied area was affected by long-term explosive volcanic activity during Turonian-Coniacian, and centres of eruptions were located closely to modern Novaya Sibir Island territory. Pyroclastics under consideration are petrochemically similar to Lower Albian volcanic rocks from Anjou archipelago (Kotelny Island). The centres of long-time Early Albian to Turonian-Coniacian subaerial volcanism were located probably in the modern territories of Zemlya Bunge and Faddeya islands, and along the northern edge of the Sannikov Strait.

ABSTRACT The Alpha Ridge-Mendeleev Rise (AMR) is the major bathymetric feature in the Amerasia Basin of the Arctic Ocean. Its tectonic history is controversial due to its remote location in ice covered waters making data acquisition difficult, resulting in the lack of diagnostic data. Analysis of the wide-angle reflection/refraction data based on the compressional waves (P-waves) from the AMR indicates that its velocity/depth structure is typical of large igneous provinces (LIPs). LIPs can form on either oceanic or continental crust and can exhibit complex history of development. Here converted shear waves (S-wave) on the Alpha Ridge have been used to calculate Poisson’s ratios and many of measured values are within the felsic range in the upper crust. They are comparable to published S-waves from the Mendeleev Rise. They are also consistent with the results of Rayleigh-wave group-velocity analysis that indicate the Alpha Ridge in adjacent northern Canada has an intermediate composition. Based on magnetics, pseudogravity and volumetric considerations the High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP) most closely resembles the Kerguelen Plateau, a LIP with a continental component. The geophysical characteristics of the AMR are compatible with a number of other LIPs that have continental affinities.

Its tectonic history is controversial due to its remote location in ice covered waters making data acquisition difficult, resulting in the lack of diagnostic data. Analysis of the wide-angle reflection/refraction data based on the compressional waves (P-waves) from the AMR indicates that its velocity/depth structure is typical of large igneous provinces (LIPs). LIPs can form on either oceanic or continental crust and can exhibit complex history of development. Here converted shear waves (S-wave) on the Alpha Ridge have been used to calculate Poisson’s ratios and many of measured values are within the felsic range in the upper crust. They are comparable to published S-waves from the Mendeleev Rise. They are also consistent with the results of Rayleigh-wave group-velocity analysis that indicate the Alpha Ridge in adjacent northern Canada has an intermediate composition. Based on magnetics, pseudogravity and volumetric considerations the High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP) most closely resembles the Kerguelen Plateau, a LIP with a continental component. The geophysical characteristics of the AMR are compatible with a number of other LIPs that have continental affinities.

ABSTRACT We present the results of an optical microscopy, cathodoluminoscopy and isotopic study on nine glendonite concretions (calcite pseudomorphs replacing metastable hexahydrate ikaite) from Lower-Middle Jurassic sediments of Northeast Russia (Anabar Bay and Lena River region). Glendonite concretions are mainly found within Late Pliensbachian, Toarcian, Aalenian, Bajocian and Lower Bathonian clastic sediments, correlating to episodes of global climatic cooling as determined by independent paleoclimate proxy data. Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic values of glendonite concretions suggest that the primary source of carbon was derived from diagenetically altered organic matter, and the source of oxygen was from seawater. The secondary diagenetic cement is characterized by a significantly lighter δ18O and significantly heavier δ13C signature than the isotopic characteristics of the bulk rock glendonite concretion. This secondary diagenetic cement is thought to have precipitated rapidly during burial diagenesis and since it occupies a significant volume of the glendonite concretion, it has the potential to significantly influence the isotopic composition of bulk rock glendonites.
