The End of a Myth: Arpylorus Antiquus Paleozoic Dinoflagellate Cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arpylorus antiquus, erected by Calandra (1964), was isolated from Upper Silurian sedimentary rocks from the Mechiguig-1 borehole in southern Tunisia, with other palynomorphs. The folded vesicle and the quadrangular form of the aperture breaks down into plate-like fragments, resembling the tabulation of dinoflagellates. The presence of these elements, have been used to interpret A. antiquus as a dinoflagellate

Morphology and Phylogeny of Scrippsiella trochoidea (Dinophyceae) a potentially harmful bloom forming species isolated from the sediments of Iran’s south coast
Phytoplankton cells and resting cysts of the species Scrippsiella trochoidea are regular and dominant components of the dinoflagellate flora of coastal marine waters and sediments around the world. This species is a common harmful bloom forming species in coastal waters. In this study, for the first time cyst of S. trochoidea were isolated from the sediments of southeast coast of Iran.

متن کاملDinoflagellate cysts from the Upper Triassic (Rhaetian) strata of the Tabas Block, East - Central Iran
Rhaetian strata from the Nayband Formation of the Tabas block, East- Central Iran, were studied palynologically. The materialexamined contained moderately diverse and well-preserved dinoflagellate cyst assemblages which lead to the identification ofRhaetogonyaulax rhaetica Zone. The assigned age of this dinozone (Rhaetian) is justified by plant fossils such as Equisetitesarenaceus, Scytophyllum...

Believing in the evolutionary process of culture, Frazer mainly focused his attention on explaining such epistemic forms of thought as magic, religion and science. Accordingly, while interpreting the processes through which magic leads to religion and finally evolves ...
متن کاملDinoflagellate cyst records and human disturbance in two neighboring estuaries, New Bedford Harbor and Apponagansett Bay, Massachusetts (USA).
The dinoflagellate cyst records in sediments from New Bedford Harbor and Apponagansett Bay demonstrate sensitivity to environmental change caused by human activity in the watersheds over the last 500 years. Changes in the species richness, as well as absolute and relative abundance of dinoflagellate cyst taxa reflect recent periods of development around the estuaries. Cyst taxa sensitive to the...
