Die Referenzfauna des Geiseltalium, MP levels 11 bis 13 (Mitteleozan, Lutetium)Hartmut HauboldPublished online: 04/12/1989Keywords: Eocene; Geiseltal; Land mammal ages; Mammalian reference levels Abstract The Middle Eocene Fossillägerstätte of the Geiseltal lignite beds near Halle/S. (German Democratic Republic) is the reference locality of the European land mammal age Geiseltalian and of the Mammalian Paleogene reference levels MP 11 - MP 13. Due to this importance a reinvestigation is given of the lithostratigraphical development of the Geiseltal beds and of their vertebrate sites. The last are genetically related to the southwest border of the Geiseltal depression and the influx of carbonate-rich waters. The geographical distribution and stratigraphical position of the fossiliferous sites depends on subrosive and tectonically controlled distribution of coal seams. The geological factors and the known stratigraphical guide of some mammalian species suggest corrections of the age of some sites. Four of the alltogether five coal bearing phases contain the 35 sites with mammalian remains. By the distribution of the around 69 mammal species are characterized, with 5 faunal steps ranging from MP 11 to MP 14 or over the Geiseltalian up to the Lower Robiacian. Well distant are the faunas of MP 11 and MP 12. Beginning with MP 12 up to MP 13/14, the fossil record is very frequent by 27 sites. This evidence coincides somewhat more with the concept of land mammal ages compared to that of the punctual mammalian reference levels. PV article infos Published in Vol. 19, Fasc. 3 (1989) |

Les Ischyrictis de la transition Vindobonien-VallésienMiquel Crusafont i PairóPublished online: 15/09/1972Keywords: Ischyrictis; Mustelidae https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.5.5.253-260 Abstract Le groupe des Mustélides « Ischyrictoïdes » développe des tendances évolutives qu’engendrent des formes de Carnassiers prédateurs robustes et de grande taille. C’est une évolution comparable à celle que l’on trouve chez Plesiogulo, qui, lui, a une origine énigmatique (Petter, 1963). Chez les Mustélides on peut signaler deux lignées assez nettes : celle du sous-genre nominal des Laphyctis, plus conservatrice, plus mustéliforme, renfermant les espèces Ischyrictis (Laphyctis) mustelinus VIRET et L. zibethoides BLAINVILLE ; celle de type félinoïde caractérisée par L. Ginsburg (1961) avec la forme type Ischyrictis (Hoplicitis) florancei du Vindobonien inférieur de Pontlevoy-Thenay et I. helbingi VIRET, 1951 du Vindobonien supérieur de la Grive Saint-Alban. De plus rappelons que I. vorax DEHM et I. comitans DEHM du Burdigalien de Wintershof-West sont sans rapport avec les espèces du Miocène supérieur (Ginsburg, o.c.).

Owls, caves and fossils. Predation, preservation and accumulation of small mammal bones in caves, with an analysis of the Pleistocene cave faunas from Westbury-Sub-Mendip, Somerset, UK, par Peter Andrews, 1990. The University of Chicago Press, 232 p.Christiane Denys
Published online: 17/12/1992 Keywords: caves; owls; preservation; taphonomy Abstract La taphonomie (science de l'enfouissement et de la fossilisation) des micromammifères a trop souvent été négligée par rapport à celle des grands mammifères. Or, pour expliquer les concentrations parfois très importantes de microfossiles dans les grottes et les sites préhistoriques il faut connaître les mécanismes qui concourrent actuellement à favoriser les accumulations de ces derniers. C'est le but de l'ouvrage de Peter Andrews qui se décompose en deux parties. PV article infos Published in Vol. 22, Fasc. 1 (1992) |

Acinoptèrygiens du Stéphanien de Montceau-les-Mines (Saône-et-Loire, France).Daniel Heyler and Cécile PoplinPublished online: 30/09/1983Keywords: Aeduelliforms; Biogeography; Palaeonisciforms; paramblypteriforms; Stephanien https://doi.org/10.18563/pv.13.3.33-50 Abstract The study of new specimens from the Stephanian shales of Montceau-les-Mines confirms and enlarges the number of groups already known in this area. Among the Palaeonisciforms, “form A" is now known more completely, although no diagnosis or name can yet be given for it. “Form B" is redescribed and its relationships with “Elonichthys robisoni" are discussed. A palaeoniscid is recorded which resembles those from Bourbon l'Archambault. The paramblypteriforms occur rather frequently, but no genera can be determined. The aeduelliforms comprise some specimens close to Aeduella blainvíllei from Muse (Autun basin), and a new genus. Comparison of the latter with two fossils from Lally allows creation of two new species and a new family. This diversification of the aeduelliforms during this middle Stephanian leads to the hypothesis that the group originated at least as early the lower Stephanian. This material prooves again the characteristic endemism of this fauna, particularly of the aeduelliforms which are known only in the Massif Central where they diversified during the Permo-Carboniferous. Biogeographical consequences are discussed. PV article infos Published in Vol. 13, Fasc. 3 (1983) |
