А New Species of the Genus Lekiskochiton (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) from the Lower Permian Reef Limestones of Shakhtau (Southern Cisuralia)

Mazaev A.

Аннотация

A new Early Permian Shakhtau reef dwelling lepidopleurid chiton is described as Lekiskochiton crassus sp. nov. This is one of the few Late Paleozoic chitons described in Russia and the first from the Cisuralia. The new species is represented by the tail valve and four intermedial valves belonging to one large animals, which was found in the reef carbonates of the Asselian Stage. Other scattered valves of a new species were found in younger sediments of this reef massif, in the Sakmara Stage. All of them are preserved as imprints. The shape of the valves has been partially reconstructed. The morphological differences in the intermedial plates of one individual of the genus are shown for the first time. L. crassus sp. nov. is the second species of the genus, which was previously reliably known only from the Middle Permian of Texas by the type species only. The discovery of a new species increases the time range of existence of the genus approximately on 19 million years. In the Shakhtau polyplacophoran assemblage, in addition to the genus Lekiskochiton, the following genera have been previously identified: Gryphochiton, Ochmazochiton and Pterochiton, which indicates stable biogeographical connections of the Early Permian Ural Strait with the sea basins of North America.

Shell Ontogeny of Otoceras concavum Tozer (Ceratitida) and the Problem of the Origin of Otoceratids

Kutygin R., Kilyasov A.

Аннотация

As a result of a detailed study of cross sections of the most ancient (Late Permian) representatives of Otoceras Griesbach (O. concavum Tozer) from the base of the Nekuchan Formation in the upper reaches of the Vostochnaya Khandyga River in Southern Verkhoyanie, the features of ontogenetic shape changes were clarified. Trends in changes in the main parameters of the shell during its growth have been determined, the cyclical nature of the narrowing and expansion of the shell has been identified, and the sequence of changes in the shape of the whorl cross-section has been established. The formation of carinae and the emergence of a tricarinate form on the ventral side were traced. Identification of shell shape transformations in the ontogenesis of O. concavum contributes to the diagnosis of small-sized Otoceras and can serve as the basis for subsequent reconstruction of the morphogenetic development of Otoceratidae. The pentacarinate form of the outer whorl, established at the middle stage of ontogenesis, may be a character inherited from the ancestor, the genus Avushoceras Ruzhencev.

Stephanoceras humphriesianum (Ammonoidea), an Index Species of the Lower Bajocian, in the Basin of the Kuban River (Northern Caucasus, Russia)

Mitta V.

Аннотация

The paper discusses Stephanoceras humphriesianum (J. de C. Sowerby), an index species of the upper zone of the Lower Bajocian (Middle Jurassic) standard scale, for the first time identified from the lower subformation of the Djangura Formation of Karachay-Cherkessia. The fixation of the lectotype of Ammonites humphriesianus is discussed. New finds make it possible to establish the humphriesianum faunal horizon in the middle part of the eponymous zone for Kuban River basin.

Punctae Lingulids (Brachiopods) of the Silurian of the Chernov Uplift, Northeastern European Russia

Beznosova T., Ushatinskaya G.

Аннотация

The remains of organophosphate brachiopods of the Lingulida order, first discovered in Silurian sediments of the Timan-North Ural region, are described. Individual shell flaps and their fragments were found in the terrigenous-carbonate Wenlock strata of the Padimeytivis River section located in the central part of the Chernova Uplift. The results of comparison with other taxa suggest that the brachiopod remains are close to punctae lingulids of the genus, Lingulipora Gurty. The problem is discussed about early stages of ontogenesis in lingulids.

Icriodus multidentatus sp. nov. and I. quartadecimensis sp. nov. – New Conodont Species from the Frasnian Stage of the Southern Timan

Nazarova V., Soboleva M.

Аннотация

New species of conodonts of the genus IcriodusI. multidentatus sp. nov. and I. quartadecimensis sp. nov. from the Sargaevo Regional Stage of the Ust-Yarega Formation (Frasnian Stage, Upper Devonian) of the Southern Timan are described. The described species have rather wide platforms, which may be related to the development of a new food resource.

A New Genus for the Sarmatian (Uppermost middle miocene) mackerels (Scombridae) from the North Caucasus

Bannikov A., Erebakan I.

Аннотация

V.V. Bogachev (1933) described the scombrid fish Auxis caucasica based on the incomplete skeleton from the Sarmatian (Middle Miocene) of the North Caucasus (Stavropol Region). Subsequently, this species was assigned to the mackerel genus Scomber. New findings in the Sarmatian of the North Caucasus (Krasnodar Region, Pshekha River) revealed a serious reduction in the number of vertebrae in S. caucasicus (Bogatshov) (up to 28), which is extremely unusual for Scombridae with at least 31 vertebrae. A new genus Mioscomber is established to accommodate the Sarmatian species of scombrids. The scombrids from the Sarmatian of the former Yugoslavia, originally described as Auxis vrabcensis Kramberger, 1882, A. thynnoides Kramberger, 1882 and Scomber sujedanus Steindachner, 1860, are assigned to the same genus – these also have a reduction in the number of vertebrae. The generic character of Mioscomber gen. nov. assumes correction of the diagnosis of the family Scombridae, from “Vertebrae 31–66” to “Vertebrae 28–66”.

Postcranial Osteoderms of Late Permian Pareiasaurs from Eastern Europe – I. Chronology of Localities

Golubev V., Naumcheva M., Boyarinova E.

Аннотация

To clarify the chronological sequence of East European localities of late Permian pareiasaurian osteoderms, a stratigraphic analysis of the osteoderm-bearing strata was carried out. Thirty localities have been dated with maximum accuracy, which characterize eight successive stratigraphic levels – the Vanyushonkian, Syominian and Kichugian beds of the Putyatinian Regional Stage (Upper Severodvinian), Chizhian and Rovdinian beds of the Bykovian Regional Stage (Lower Vyatkian), Aristovian and Gorokhovetsian beds of the Nefyodovian Regional Stage (Upper Vyatkian), and Lagernian beds of the Zhukovian Regional Stage (Upper Vyatkian).

Grey Partridges (Phasianidae: Genera Perdix and Enkuria gen. nov.) from the Early Pleistocene of Crimea, and Notes on the Evolution of the Genus Perdix

Zelenkov N.

Аннотация

The paper describes remains of the fossil grey partridges from the Lower Pleistocene (1.8–1.5 MA) deposits of the Taurida Cave in central Crimea. A smaller grey partridge is referred to the fossil species Perdix jurcsaki Kretzoi, 1962. Yet another phasianid bird from the cave, partly similar to modern Perdix but larger, is described as Enkuria voinstvenskyi gen. et sp. nov. The spatiotemporal stability of the Early-Middle Pleistocene European grey partridges’ morphotype allows synonymization of the fossil species P. jurcsaki and P. palaeoperdix Mourer-Chauvire, 1975. Earlier fossil finds of the genus Perdix from the Upper Pliocene – Lower Pleistocene of Eastern Europe and Asia are revised. Perdix margaritae Kurochkin, 1985 from the Upper Pliocene of Mongolia and Transbaikalia is considered a junior synonym of Lophura inferna Kurochkin 1985. The oldest confirmed find of P. jurcsaki comes from the lower Gelasian (~2.4 MA) of the Northern Black Sea region (locality Kryzhanovka-2; Ukraine). A dispersal of grey partridges to the west of Europe in the second half of the Early Pleistocene is shown. The discovery of the genus Enkuria confirms the existence of the fossil diversity of Perdicini s. s. in the Plio-Pleistocene of Northern Eurasia. Phasianus etuliensis Bocheński et Kurochkin, 1987 from the early Pliocene of Moldova is here transferred to this genus. In addition, the validity of the fossil Early Pleistocene phasianids Francolinus subfrancolinus Jánossy, 1976 and Alectoris baryosefi Tchernov, 1980 is confirmed.

Evolution and Taxonomy of the Pleistocene North Asian Zokors, Genus Siphneus (Myospalacidae, Rodentia, Mammalia)

Golovanov S., Zazhigin V.

Аннотация

According to the concept proposed by the authors of dividing modern rootless zokors and their ancestral Pleistocene rootless forms into the genera Myospalax, Siphneus, and Eospalax, Manchurian and Daurian zokors were assigned to the genus Siphneus. In this paper details of the morphological differences of the genus Siphneus and analysis of the evolutionary lineages among the genus are presented. A new phylogenetic scheme is proposed, in which a new species S. tolaensis sp. nov. ancestral to the Daurian zokors is described on the basis of remains from the Nalaikha locality (Mongolia, late Early – early Middle Pleistocene).

A New Species of Anourosorex (Soricidae, Lipotyphla) from the Pleistocene of Vietnam

Lopatin A.

Аннотация

Jaw fragments and isolated teeth of the mole shrew Anourosorex andabata sp. nov. are described from the Middle Pleistocene deposits of Tham Hai cave (Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam). This is the first fossil record of Anourosorex in Vietnam. The new species is characterized by medium size (as in Recent A. squamipes Milne-Edwards, 1872), a narrow apex of the coronoid process of the mandible and a weakly reduced (relatively long and wide) talonid of M1.
