Early Silurian (Aeronian) East Point Coral Patch Reefs of Anticosti Island, Eastern Canada: First Reef Recovery from the Ordovician/Silurian Mass Extinction in Eastern Laurentia
An extensive late Aeronian patch reef swarm outcrops for 60–70 km on Anticosti Island, eastern Canada, located in the inner to mid-shelf area of a prominent tropical carbonate platform of southeastern Laurentia, at 20°–25° S paleolatitude of the southern typhoon belt. This complex, described here for the first time, includes more than 100 patch reefs, up to 60–80 m in diameter and 10 m high. Re...
متن کاملA new osteichthyan from the late Silurian of Yunnan, China
Our understanding of early gnathostome evolution has been hampered by a generally scant fossil record beyond the Devonian. Recent discoveries from the late Silurian Xiaoxiang Fauna of Yunnan, China, have yielded significant new information, including the earliest articulated osteichthyan fossils from the Ludlow-aged Kuanti Formation. Here we describe the partial postcranium of a new primitive b...
متن کاملPaleoecology of Llandovery conodonts, Anticosti Island, Que¤bec
Anticosti Island, Que¤bec, has perhaps the most fossiliferous and complete Llandovery (Early Silurian) sequence in the world. The undeformed limestones are well exposed and yield extremely well preserved conodonts whose taxonomy and biostratigraphy has been studied in detail. In addition to documenting the general temporal and spatial distribution of Llandovery conodonts, a set of 107 conodont ...
متن کاملA new Late Holocene sea-level record from the Mississippi Delta: evidence for a climate/sea level connection?
A detailed relative sea-level (RSL) record was constructed for the time interval 600–1600 AD, using basal peat to track sea level and containing 16 sea-level index points that capture w60 cm of RSL rise. The study area is in the Mississippi Delta where the spring tidal range is w0.47 m, the impact of ocean currents on sea-surface topography is limited, and crustal motions are well constrained. ...
متن کاملPalynomorphs’ response to sea-level fluctuations: a case study from Late Cretaceous – Paleocene, Gurpi Formation, SW Iran
Statistical studies on Palynology contents of Late Cretaceous to Paleocene age Gurpi Formation in a surface section in Zagros Basin,SW Iran indicate changes in abundance, species diversity, ratio of Spiniferites to Cyclonephelium (S/C), palynological marine index(PMI) values and organic facies. These palynological variations clearly reflect fluctuations in relative sea-level and depositionalenv...
