Palaeobiology: Ecological Revelations in Ediacaran Reproduction
The biology of Ediacaran organisms - the oldest fossils of large multicellular life - has been notoriously hard to decipher, as they show little obvious relation to extant life forms. Ecological analyses, rather than anatomy, yield new revelations about their reproduction.
متن کاملUPPER DEVONIAN ACRITARCHS AND MIOSPORES FROM THE GEIRUD FORMATION IN CENTRAL ALBORZ RANGE, NORTHERN IRAN
The Geirud Formation consists mainly of clastic sediments which are interbedded with limestone stringers. This rock unit is well-exposed along the Central Alborz Range in northern Iran. The Geirud Formation rests unconformably on the Mila Formation (Upper Cambrian) and is conformably overlain by the Mobarak Formation (Lower Carboniferous). This study was undertaken to determine the geologi...
متن کاملAcritarchs of the Ediacaran Frecheirinha Formation, Ubajara Group, Northeastern Brazil.
We report for the first time the occurrence of organic-walled microfossils in Ediacaran limestones and marls of the Frecheirinha Formation, Ubajara Group, and the first Precambrian acritarchs so far reported for northeastern Brazil. The assemblage of the Frecheirinha Formation represents a low-diversity microflora comprising Leiosphaeridia, Lophosphaeridium and subordinated Bavlinella (=Sphaero...
متن کاملPenetrative trace fossils from the late Ediacaran of Mongolia: early onset of the agronomic revolution
The Cambrian radiation of complex animals includes a dramatic increase in the depth and intensity of bioturbation in seafloor sediment known as the 'agronomic revolution'. This bioturbation transition was coupled with a shift in dominant trace fossil style from horizontal surficial traces in the late Precambrian to vertically penetrative trace fossils in the Cambrian. Here we show the existence...
متن کاملAlgae (Dasycladales) from the Upper Triassic Nayband Formation (northeast Iran)
Dasycladales are relatively abundant in the bedded limestones of the Bidestan and Howz-e Khan members of the Late Triassic Nayband Formation in central Iran. In a locality south of the town of Naybandan (northwest of Dig-e Rostam), several Rhaetian dasycladacean algae were found in thin sections. The following taxa are described: Diplopora phanerospora Pia, Naybandoporella rhaetica nov. gen. no...
