Opis:
The early evolution of salamanders, which are one of the three living groups of lissamphibians, is not well known. Both stem- and crown-group salamanders first appeared in the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian), but subsequently had different evolutionary histories: stem salamanders were thought to have gone extinct in the Late Jurassic, while crown salamanders persist to the present day. Here, I report the discovery of an indeterminate stem salamander in the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian) Ilek Formation of Western Siberia. This is new evidence that the most basal salamanders survived beyond the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary and co-existed with crown-group salamanders during approximately the first 40 million years of the known history of salamanders. The recognition of stem salamanders in the Early Cretaceous of Western Siberia adds to the inventory of taxa that suggest this area was a refugium for various groups of vertebrates with Jurassic affinities.

Opis:
A partial ornithocheirid, representing a rare example of a pterosaurian body fossil from the Nova Olinda Member of the Crato Formation, NE Brazil, is described from the collections of the State Museum of Natural History, Karlsruhe. While similar in preservation and taphonomy to Arthurdactylus conandoylei, it is distinguished by slight differences in biometric ratios, but the absence of a skull prevents closer identification. Mostly complete body fossils belonging to ornithocheiroid pterosaurs appear to be relatively more abundant in the younger Romualdo Member of the Santana Formation, making the described specimen one of only two well documented ornithocheiroids known from the Nova Olinda Lagerstätte.

Opis:
The “symmetrodont” mammal, Gobiotheriodon infinitus (Trofimov, 1980), from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian) of Mongolia, is redescribed.The species is restricted to the holotype only (dentary with three last molars), the referred maxillary fragment with M3? is considered here as cf. Gobiconodon sp.The dental formula of G. infinitusis reinterpreted as i1–3 c1 p1–3 m1–4. G. infinitus is characterized by a short dentary symphysis; long, well−developed Meckel's groove; small, triangular−shaped pterygoid fossa; weakly developed pterygoid crest; i3 enlarged; p1–3 two−rooted; lower molars acute− to obtuse−angled, labial cingulids lacking, lingual cingulids very short, well developed mesial and distal cingulid cuspules (“e” and “d”) and prominent wear surface on the paracristid. Gobiotheriodon is similar to Tinodon (Late Jurassic, USA; Early Cretaceous, Great Britain and Portugal) in postcanine dental formula and structure of the pterygoid fossa; it is provisionally assigned to Tinodontidae Marsh, 1887.Some taxa previously assigned to (or suggested as possible relatives of) “Symmetrodonta” are reviewed.Amphidontidae Simpson, 1925 is considered as nomen dubium.A new classification for “Symmetrodonta” is proposed.

The morphology of the single preserved molar of the holotype of the Australian Early Cretaceous (Aptian) mammal Teinolophos trusleri shows that it is a monotreme and probably a steropodontid, rather than a 'eupantothere' as originally proposed. The structure of the rear of the jaw of T. trusleri supports the molecular evidence that previously formed the sole basis for recognising the Steropodontidae as a distinct family.

Opis:
Eutherian mammals (Placentalia and all mammals phylogenetically closer to placentals than to marsupials) comprise the vast majority of extant Mammalia. Among these there is a phenomenal range of forms and sizes, but the origins of crown group placentals are obscure. They lie within the generally tiny mammals of the Mesozoic, represented for the most part by isolated teeth and jaws, and there is strongly conflicting evidence from phenomic and molecular data as to the date of origin of both Eutheria and Placentalia. The oldest purported eutherians are Juramaia from the Upper Jurassic of China, and Eomaia and Acristatherium from the Lower Cretaceous, also of China. Based on dental characters and analyses of other morphological and molecular data, doubt has recently been cast on the eutherian affinities of the Chinese taxa and consequently on the date of emergence of Eutheria. Until now, the only tribosphenic mammal recorded from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Group of Britain was the stem tribosphenidan Tribactonodon. Here we document two new tribosphenic mammals from the Purbeck Group, Durlstotherium gen. nov. and Durlstodon gen. nov., showing highly derived eutherian molar characters that support the early emergence of this clade, prior to the Cretaceous.

Palaeomicromenneus lebanensis gen. et sp. nov. (Araneae: Deinopidae) is described from Upper Neocomian–basal Lower Aptian (ca. 125–135 Ma) Cretaceous amber from the Hammana/Mdeyrij outcrop, Lebanon. This is the oldest known, and possibly the first true fossil, deinopid. The lack of ocular modifications in the new fossil genus does not exclude it from having exhibited the same net−casting prey capture behaviour as extant deinopids. Alternatively, this prey−capture behaviour may be highly derived and whether it had evolved by the Early Cretaceous cannot be determined for sure; early deinopids (as diagnosed by pedipalp morphology rather than behaviour) may have been orb−web weavers as is their sister taxon the Uloboridae.

Opis:
The geological position and geochemistry of the basaltic sill and tuffs occurring within the Berriasian–?Albian pelagic limestones of the Czorsztyn Succession are described. The volcanic rock succession of the Velykyi (= Veliky) Kamenets’/Vilkhivchyk (= Vulkhovchik, Vulhovchik, Olkhivchyk) sites is related to intra-plate submarine volcanism, which took place at the southeastern termination of the Pieniny Klippen Belt. This volcanism was probably associated with the Early Cretaceous opening of the Magura/Fore-Magura basinal system, bounded by the Silesian/Marmarosh and Czorsztyn palaeoridges to the north and south respectively. The alkaline volcanic rocks from the Velykyi Kamenets’/Vilkhivchyk sites are geochemically similary to the basaltic block from Biała Woda (Małe Pieniny Mts., Poland), which is an olistolith a few metres across within the Jarmuta conglomerates (Maastrichtian/Paleocene). This basaltic block was eroded from the frontal part of the Czorsztyn Nappe and was deposited in the uppermost part of the Grajcarek Succession at the southeastern margin of the Magura Basin.

Opis:
Early Cretaceous calpionellid samples were collected at the ammonoid-bearing Hochkogellocality in the southern most part of the Reichraming Nappe (Ebenforst Syncline, Northern Calcareous Alps). The microfossil fauna sampled from limestone parts of the Rossfeld Formation indicates an early Valanginian age. The standard Calpionellites Zone (with darderi and major subzones) coincides with the early Valanginian ammonoid zones of Busnardoites campylotoxus and Tirnovella pertransiens. The deposition of the limestones in this area occurred in an unstable environment disturbed by gravitational transport which accounts for the different sedimen tary components and accompanying fossils in the accumulated layers, transported from a source area situated to the south.

Opis:
We describe a new boreosphenidan mammal, Atokatheridium boreni gen. et sp. n., from the Early Cretaceous of Oklahoma, based on an upper molar and a tentatively referred lower molar. The upper molar is characterized by a small protocone and unwinged conules, broad stylar shelf, paracone taller than metacone, and lack of pre- and postcingula. Comparisons with relevant Early and Late Cretaceous boreosphenidans suggest closest similarity to Deltatheroida, including one character (extreme development of the distal stylar shelf, which projects labially and lacks cusps) interpreted as derived. The tentatively attributed lower molar shows similarity to Deltatheridium and the ?aegialodontid genus Kielantherium in having the paraconid higher than the metaconid, but differs from Kielantherium in having a differently shaped talonid. From Aegialodon it differs in having a vertically oriented (rather than semi-procumbent) paraconid and a larger talonid. We figure also two isolated trigonids, differing in size, which show some resemblance to that of ?Atokatheridium. Deltatheroidans, despite their generally primitive dental morphology, are otherwise surely known only from the Late Cretaceous, and are largely restricted to the Old World. If a deltatheroidan, the new taxon implies a significant temporal range extension for the group, and provides another biogeographic link between Cretaceous mammals of Asia and North America.
W pracy opisano nowy gatunek i rodzaj prymitywnego ssaka o zębach trybosfenicznych - Atokatheridium boreni, z wczesnej kredy stanu Oklahoma w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Nowy takson oparty jest na dobrze zachowanym górnym zębie trzonowym i na dolnym trzonowcu, zaliczonym z zastrzeżeniem. Atokatheridium zostal zaliczony do podgromady Boreosphenida, obejmującej ssaki o zębach trybosfenicznych, które powstały na Półkuli Północnej zapewne we wczesnej kredzie. Do Boreosphenida należą wszystkie współcześnie żyjące ssaki właściwe - torbacze i łożyskowce, ich kopalni przedstawiciele, oraz formy wymarłe o zębach trybosfenicznych, których stanowisko systematyczne jest nieustalone. Atokatheridium jest jednym z najstarszych znanych przedstawicieli boreosfenidów. Górny trzonowiec nowego taksonu charakteryzuje się małym protokonem, konulami pozbawionymi skrzydełek, bardzo szeroką półką stylarną, oraz brakiem przednich i tylnych wałeczków (cingulum). Porównanie z zębami wczesno- i późnokredowych boresosfenidów wskazuje, że Atokatheridium najbardziej jest zbliżony do przedstawicieli późnokredowego rzędu Deltatheroida, który należy do Metatheria i stanowi grupę siostrzaną torbaczy. Cechą wspólną jest obecność bardzo rozszerzonej części dystalnej półki stylarnej, kt6ra wystaje w kierunku dowargowym i jest pozbawiona guzków stylarnych. Z drugiej strony, dolny trzonowiec zaliczony z zastrzeżeniem do Atokatheridium wykazuje podobieństwo zarówno do trzonowców deltateroidów, jak i do słabo poznanej grupy wczesnokredowych boreosfenidów - egialodontów, szczególnie do rodzaju Kielantherium. W pracy zilustrowano takze dwa niekompletne dolne trzonowce (trygonidy) pochodzące z tej samej formacji co Atokatheridium, które wykazują pewne podobieństwo do trzonowca zaliczonego z zastrzeżeniem do Atokatheridium. Rząd Deltatheroida, który charakteryzuje się ogólnie prymitywną budową zębów i ma wzór zębowy taki jak torbacze, znany był dotąd tylko z późnej kredy i tylko z Pólkuli Północnej. Jeżeli Atokatheridium należy rzeczywiście do Deltatheroida, to wskazywałoby to że deltateroidy pojawiły się we wczesnej kredzie.

Opis:
Pholadomya gigantea is a widely distributed Early Cretaceous bivalve mollusc. It has been recorded in the North Temperate, Tethyan, and South Temperate Realms. Based on recent field work and newly collected material from the Neuquén Basin, the taxonomy, mode of occurrence and palaeobiogeography of this species is reviewed. In the Agrio Formation (Valanginian–Barremian) P. gigantea is neither abundant nor dominant, but occurs throughout the unit. It was facies−dependent being restricted to well−oxygenated waters and soft to firm, sandy and bioclastic substrates of shoreface to inner shelf environments. The life habit of P. gigantea was similar to that of Recent Pholadomya candida, deep burrowing and sedentary, but it has not a pedal gape and accessory muscle scars related to valve closure. Thus a suspension−feeding habit, not a pedal−feeding system, may be inferred as is commonly suggested in other Jurassic and Cretaceous Pholadomya species. Pholadomya agrioensis is a valid taxon that is recorded in the Berriasian–Valanginian of Neuquén. It is similar in outline to P. gigantea and had probably the same basic palaeoecology, even though it has a blunt anterior margin, deep umbonal−ventral sulcus and distinct anterior ornamentation. Once in life position this species was capable of further digging in the sediment. This species probably burrowed in muddy substrates in the offshore zone. Pholadomya sanctaecrucis from the Valanginian of Europe and also recorded in Argentina is ornamented only with commarginal lines and should be removed to the genus Homomya.

Hakusanobaatar matsuoi is an eobaatarid multituberculate characterized by a P4 with cusp formula 3:5, and a P5 with cusp formula 2:6:?2. One of the specimens of H. matsuoi has the best preserved upper premolar series among known eobaatarid specimens. Based on the dentition of H. matsuoi, it is highly probable that the cimolodontan P4 is homologous with the “plagiaulacidan” P5. Tedoribaatar reini is also tentatively attributed to Eobaataridae, and shows a single−rooted p3 and loss of at least the permanent p2. On the basis of these apomorphic features, T. reini is considered to be the “plagiaulacidan” multituberculate that is most closely related to cimolodontans.

Three new multituberculate teeth are described from the Early Cretaceous of Morocco. Denisodon moroccensis gen. et sp. nov. is established for a second lower molar which differs from that of Hahnodon taqueti, from the same locality, by a preserved posterior buccal cusp, a smaller posterior lingual cusp and the less indented lingual wall of the crown. The second tooth is a posterior upper premolar. It is represented by the posterior portion of its crown on which is present only one row of cusps, similar to the conditions in Kielanodon, Eobaatar, Bolodon, and the Pinheirodontidae. The third tooth is a lower incisor, similar to that in Kuehneodon. Both teeth are grouped as „Hahnodontidae, gen. et sp. indet.” Paulchoffatioidea new superfamily is established for the Paulchoffatiidae, Hahnodontidae, and Pinheirodontidae. It is characterized by the following autapomorphies: premolarisation of I2−C, presence of a third row of cusps on the posterior upper premolars and the basin−like structure of the m2. Hahnodontidae and Hahnodon are redefined.

Two additional specimens of the basal tribosphenid mammal Kielantherium gobiense, the first known aegialodont upper molar (possibly M2) and a dentary fragment with m1, are described from the Early Cretaceous Höövör locality in Mongolia. The upper molar shows an initial stage of the protocone development. Kielantherium gobiense has been known from two specimens only, and thus the new material doubles the hypodigm of this species. Kielantherium is clearly not a junior synonym of Aegialodon, as it differs from the latter in having a cusp−like mesiolabial cingulid cuspule f rather than prominent ridge−like precingulid. Kielantherium's lower postcanine dental formula (with four or more premolars and four molars) is distinctive and more primitive than in Peramus and Eutheria which have five premolars and three molars, and Metatheria which have three premolars and four molars.

Opis:
The choristoderan reptile Monjurosuchus is described from the Lower Cretaceous Tetori Group of Japan on the basis of an associated specimen from the Kuwajima Formation, Ishikawa Prefecture, and more fragmentary remains from the contemporaneous Okurodani Formation, Gifu Prefecture. This is the first report of Monjurosuchus from Japan, but a long−necked choristodere, Shokawa, has already been recorded from these deposits. Monjurosuchus was first described from the Lower Cretaceous Jehol Biota of China, although it has only recently been recognised as a choristodere. As reconstructed, the Japanese Monjurosuchus differs from the type species, Monjurosuchus splendens, in the structure of the postorbital region, reduction of the quadratojugal, a slender parietal with a deep groove along the interparietal suture, and elongation of the jugal. As in M. splendens, the lower temporal fenestrae are closed. A cladistic analysis was performed in order to place Japanese and Chinese taxa, including the incompletely described Chinese long−necked Hyphalosaurus lingyanensis, into choristoderan phylogeny. The results support the monophyly of Neochoristodera and of a Sino−Japanese clade of long necked choristoderes. The placement of the European Tertiary Lazarussuchus remains problematic, but the analysis supports its placement within Choristodera rather than on the stem. The identification of Monjurosuchus from Japan provides an additional link between the fossil assemblages of the Tetori Group and those of the slightly younger Jehol Biota of China.

Opis:
Finely−bedded lacustrine deposits of the Aptian (Lower Cretaceous) Xiagou Formation exposed in the Changma Basin of Gansu Province, northwestern China, have yielded numerous fossil vertebrate remains, including approximately 100 avian specimens. Though the majority of these birds appear referable to the ornithuromorph Gansus yumenensis, a number of enantiornithine fossils have also been recovered. Here we report on a specimen consisting of a complete, three−dimensionally preserved sternum, furcula, and sternal ribs that represents a second ornithuromorph taxon from the Xiagou Formation at Changma. The fossil exhibits morphologies that distinguish it from all previously−known Xiagou birds and demonstrate that it represents a derived non−ornithurine member of Ornithuromorpha. Though it is morphologically distinct from the equivalent elements of all other described ornithuromorphs, the material is too incomplete to justify the erection of a new taxon. Nonetheless, it increases the taxonomic diversity of the Xiagou avifauna, thereby expanding our knowledge of Early Cretaceous avian diversity and evolution.

In modern terrestrial ecosystems, the population size of large predators is low, and a similar pattern has usually been assumed for dinosaurs. However, fossil finds of monospecific, large theropod accumulations suggest that population dynamics were more complex. Here, we report two Early Cretaceous tracksites dominated by large theropod footprints, in Querulpa Chico (Peru) and Chacarilla (Chile). The two sites correspond to distinct depositional environments—tidal basin/delta (Querulpa Chico) and meandering river (Chacarilla)—with both subject to extensive arid or semiarid palaeoclimatic conditions. Although most trackways show no preferred orientation, a clear relationship between two trackmakers is observed in one instance. This observation, coupled with the high abundance of trackways belonging to distinct large theropods, and the exclusion of tracks of other animals, suggests some degree of grouping behaviour. The presence of freshwater sources in a dry climate and perhaps social behaviour such as pair bonding may have promoted interactions between large carnivores. Further, the occurrence of these two tracksites confirms that large theropod dinosaurs, possibly spinosaurids and/or carcharodontosaurids, existed on the western margin of Gondwana as early as the earliest Cretaceous.

Opis:
A third albanerpetontid genus, Anoualerpeton gen. nov., is erected for two new species: An. unicussp. nov. (type species) from the Early Cretaceous (Berriasian) of Morocco and An. priscus sp. nov. from the Middle Jurassic (late Bathonian) of England. Anoualerpeton differs from the exclusively Laurasian albanerpetontid genera Albanerpeton (Early Cretaceous– Paleocene, North America; Miocene, Europe) and Celtedens (?Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, Europe) in a unique combination of primitive and derived character states of the jaws and azygous frontals. Monophyly of Anoualerpeton is supported by two synapomorphies of the maxilla and dentary (occlusal margin convex in labial outline and teeth strongly heterodont in size anteriorly) that are convergent with an unrelated, relatively derived Late Cretaceous species of Albanerpeton from North America. The two species of Anoualerpeton differ in character states of the premaxilla and azygous frontals. Cladistic analysis of 20 characters scored for ten albanerpetontid taxa postulates Anoualerpeton as the sister−taxon of Albanerpeton + Celtedens. The sister−pair of Albanerpeton + Celtedensis founded on one or, perhaps, two premaxillary synapomorphies. Anoualerpeton unicus documents the only known Gondwanan occurrence for the Albanerpetontidae and provides a minimum age of basal Cretaceous for the establishment of the clade in Africa. Characters of the mandible, vertebrae, and limbs support the interpretation that Ramonellus (Aptian; Israel) is a caudate, not an albanerpetontid.

The evolutionary changes of the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian) marine gastropod Rissoina (Buvignieria) sp. from Wąwał (central Poland) show a pattern typical of the Ancient Lake Concept. Its morphology is stable during period of unstable conditions and starts to change gradually when the environment becomes stable. The linear character of the evolutionary changes of Rissoina sp. and lack of evolution among co−occuring gastropods suggests that the rate of evolution was controlled by intrinsic factors, not the environment.

Opis:
The Early Cretaceous fossil record of large−bodied theropods from Asia is poor, hindering comparison of Asian predatory dinosaur faunas with those from other continents. One of the few large Asian theropod specimens from this interval is a partial skull (maxilla and dentary) from the Lianmugin Formation (?Valanginian–Albian), the holotype of Kelmayisaurus petrolicus. Most authors have either considered this specimen as an indeterminate basal tetanuran or a nomen dubium. We redescribe K. petrolicus and note that it possesses a single autapomorphy (a deep accessory groove on the lateral surface of the anterior dentary), as well as a unique combination of characters that differentiates it from other theropods, affirming its validity. A phylogenetic analysis recovers K. petrolicus as a basal carcharodontosaurid, which is supported by various features: very deep interdental plates (a carcharodontosaurid synapomorphy), fused interdental plates (present in carchardontosaurids and a limited number of other theropods), and the absence of diagnostic features of other clades of large−bodied theropods such as abelisaurids, megalosauroids, and coelurosaurs. As such,Kelmayisaurusis the second known carcharodontosaurid from Asia, and further evidence that this clade represented a global radiation of large−bodied predators during the Early–mid Cretaceous.

Opis:
A new gobiconodontid from Vallipón (Teruel, Spain) represents the first record of this family in Europe. The site has a diverse fossil assemblage mainly composed of isolated bones and teeth probably accumulated by tidal action and water streams in an ancient beach of upper Barremian, in the transitional marine−continental sediments of the Artoles Formation. The new gobiconodontid consist of an isolated upper molar, smaller in size than that element in other gobiconodontids, with a robust cusp A, characterised by lateral bulges on each mesial and distal flanges of that cusp, and a discontinuous cingulum raised at the lingual side. The occlusal outline is smooth compared with Gobiconodon borissiaki, Gobiconodon hoburensis, or Gobiconodon ostromi. The Gobiconodontidae record is exclusively Laurasiatic. The oldest gobiconodontid fossil remains are Hauterivian; though their probable origin has to be found at the Late Jurassic in Central Asia (as inferred from derived character of the first gobiconodontids as well as phylogenetic relationships). At the end of the Early Cretaceous they expanded throughout Laurasia as indicated by findings in Asia, North America, and Spain. Two dispersion events spread gobiconodontids: to the West (Europe) in the Barremian and to the East (North America) during the Aptian/Albian.

Opis:
Although recent discoveries from Lower Cretaceous sediments in northeastern China have greatly improved our understanding of the initial stages of avian diversification in eastern Asia, the early evolution of Aves elsewhere on the continent remains poorly understood. In 2004, a collaborative field effort directed by personnel from the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and Carnegie Museum of Natural History recovered multiple partial to nearly complete avian skeletons from outcrops of the Lower Cretaceous Xiagou Formation exposed in the Changma Basin of northwestern Gansu Province, China. Here we describe a thrush−sized partial skeleton comprised of a fragmentary pelvic girdle and largely complete hind limbs. A phylogenetic analysis of 20 avian ingroup taxa and 169 anatomical characters places the specimen in Enantiornithes, and within that clade, in Euenantiornithes. When coupled with additional recent discoveries from the Changma Basin, the new skeleton improves our understanding of early avian evolution and diversification in central Asia.

Opis:
The exquisitely preserved longipterygid enantiornithine Rapaxavis pani is redescribed here after more extensive preparation. A complete review of its morphology is presented based on information gathered before and after preparation. Among other features, Rapaxavis pani is characterized by having an elongate rostrum (close to 60% of the skull length), rostrally restricted dentition, and schizorhinal external nares. Yet, the most puzzling feature of this bird is the presence of a pair of pectoral bones (here termed paracoracoidal ossifications) that, with the exception of the enantiornithine Concornis lacustris, are unknown within Aves. Particularly notable is the presence of a distal tarsal cap, formed by the fusion of distal tarsal elements, a feature that is controversial in non−ornithuromorph birds. The holotype and only known specimen of Rapaxavis pani thus reveals important information for better understanding the anatomy and phylogenetic relationships of longipterygids, in particular, as well as basal birds as a whole.

A reexamination of the type material (two specimens considered for a long time lost) of the poorly known turtle “Sinemys” efremovi Khosatzky, 1996 from the Early Cretaceous Tugulu Group of northwest China, allows us to present new observations, images, and taxonomic conclusions about these important specimens. We conclude that: (1) “S.” efremovi is referrable to the basal eucryptodire genus Wuguia Matzke, Maisch, Pfretzschner, Sun, and Stöhr, 2004 based on a small size (up to 150 mm in shell length), absence of the nuchal emargination, presence of additional ossifications in the suprapygal region of the carapace and similar plastral proportions with relatively long bridges (35−45% of the plastron width), and a narrow and elongated posterior lobe; (2) “S.” efremovi is a senior subjective synonym of Dracochelys wimani Maisch, Matzke, and Sun, 2003, another species recently described from the Tugulu Group. As construed here, Wuguia includes two species: W. efremovi (Khosatzky, 1996) and W. hutubeiensis Matzke, Maisch, Pfretzschner, Sun, and Stöhr, 2004. New diagnoses for these taxa are given.

Opis:
Arguimus khosbajari is redescribed, based on five additional specimens from the topotypic Early Cretaceous (Aptian– Albian) Höövör locality in Mongolia. The teeth preserved in the holotype of A. khosbajari are interpreted as p4–5, m1–3. The original identification of the teeth preserved in the holotype and single specimen of Arguitherium cromptoni from Höövör as p4–5, m1 is confirmed and this specimen is considered conspecific with A. khosbajari. Thus Arguitherium cromptoni Dashzeveg, 1994 and Arguitheriidae Dashzeveg, 1994 are junior subjective synonyms of Arguimus khosbajari Dashzeveg, 1979 and Arguimuridae Dashzeveg, 1994 respectively (syn. nov.). Arguimus is a stem−lineage zatherian characterized by the lower postcanine formula p1–5, m1–4, a premolariform p5, a “partially molariform” m1 having a widely open trigonid basin, trigonid cusps less angulated than in m2–4, a low and small paraconid, and a small but distinct metaconid, a single cusped talonid with an incipient talonid basin on m1–4, a distinct labial mandibular foramen, and total lack of the Meckel’s groove. A similar “partially molariform” m1 was apparently characteristic also for the stem−lineage zatherian Nanolestes from the Late Jurassic of Portugal, based on reinterpretation of the isolated tooth Gui Mam 1005, considered previously to be a deciduous premolar, and for Chunnelodon from the Early Cretaceous of England, described originally as an indeterminate dryolestoid, but referred here to as a stem−lineage zatherian.

Opis:
Ceratosaurian theropods evolved in two bursts, first in the Middle and Late Jurassic and then in the Late Cretaceous, leaving a 20 Myr gap in the Early Cretaceous during which remains are rare. We describe here a new ceratosaurian theropod, Camarillasaurus cirugedae, from fluvial deposits of the Camarillas Formation (lower Barremian, Lower Cretaceous) of Camarillas, Teruel Province, NE Spain. The new theropod is represented by a collection of associated bones, including a tooth, a possible cervical vertebra, two sternal plates, the proximal part of a right tibia, a broken right scapulocoracoid, the incomplete sacrum, five caudal vertebrae, an isolated caudal neural arch, a chevron, an almost complete presacral rib and some fragments of vertebrae, ribs, and other elements. Camarillasaurus is differentiated from other theropods by the extreme depth of the tibia proximal end, and a deep longitudinal groove on the tibia. The new dinosaur is a ceratosaur, phylogenetically close to the base of the clade, and perhaps more derived than the Chinese basal ceratosaur Limusaurus. The new taxon is significant in the evolution of the ceratosaurian dinosaurs, being placed temporally between its more common Jurassic and mid-Upper Cretaceous relatives, and it is one of only a few from Laurasia.

Opis:
Until recently, the only mammal remains to be obtained from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian, Wealden Group) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, southern England were a poorly preserved left m2 and a well preserved left I2 crown representing one or possibly two plagiaulacoid multituberculate species. These were recovered in the early 1970s but despite subsequent efforts by a number of workers to recover additional Mesozoic mammal remains none were forthcoming until comprehensive bulk screening of the Wessex Formation was undertaken in a study commenced in 2002. This study resulted in the recovery of a number of new specimens representing an assemblage of at least six taxa. Among these are a well−preserved plagiaulacoid multituberculate left m1 and a similarly preserved left I3. The former permits diagnosis of a new species of eobaatarid, Eobaatar clemensisp. nov. The previously recovered left m2 is also tentatively assigned to the same taxon. In addition, another left m1, somewhat worn as a result of dietary attrition, was recently obtained by a private collector. This is of very similar morphology to the holotype of E. clemensi but slightly larger. It is undoubtedly referable to the same taxon and provides some insight into intraspecific size, and other minor morphological variations in the teeth of the new species. The I3 may also be referable to the new species, in which case it is the first well preserved I3 of a member of Eobaataridae to be fully described.

Opis:
In Butkov Quarry, ammonites of the families Holcodiscidae Spath, 1923 and Barremitidae Breskovski, 1977 occur in the pelagic Lower Cretaceous pelagic deposits of the Manín Unit. This contribution discusses the taxonomy of both families and presents their distribution in the layered sequences of the quarry. The genus Spitidiscus Kilian, 1910 classified as a member of the Superfamily Perisphinctoidea Steinmann in Steinmann and Döderlein, 1890 is an important representative of the Holcodiscidae from a stratigraphic point of view. In areas where the zonal index Acanthodiscus radiatus (Bruguière, 1789) does not occur, as in Butkov Quarry, the first representatives of Spitidiscus indicate the base of the Hauterivian. The genus Plesiospitidiscus Breistroffer, 1947 was long regarded as a member of the Superfamily Desmoceratoidea Zittel, 1895. This superfamily was based on its type species, Eodesmoceras celestini (Pictet and Campiche, 1860), which is not Valanginian in age, as now clearly proven. As a consequence, this superfamily is considered invalid. Vermeulen and Lahondère (2011) proposed an alternative by selecting a suitable initial genus, namely Plesiospitidiscus, for the Family Barremitidae, Superfamily Barremitoidea Breskovski, 1977 (nom. transl. Vermeulen and Lahondère, 2011).

Renphasma sinica gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation in Liaoning. It has the general habitus of the Mesozoic “stick−insects”, with a short thorax, and broad and long tegmina, as long as the hindwings. Its pattern of tegmina venation is typical of the Mesozoic Phasmatodea, also present in the Eocene stick insect family Gallophasmatidae, viz. archaeorthopteran organisation of median and cubital veins. On the other side it has a vomer typical of modern Phasmatodea, both supporting the hypothesis that the Mesozoic, Cainozoic, and modern stick insects belong to the same clade. The pattern of dark and hyaline spots on the wings of Renphasma is probably related to mimicry with plants.

Opis:
A new medium−sized rebbachisaurid sauropod from the Castrillo la Reina Formation (Upper Barremian–Lower Aptian) in Burgos Province, Demandasaurus darwini gen. et sp. nov., is described. It is known from an incomplete but associated skeleton that includes cranial and post−cranial remains. Demandasaurus darwini gen. et sp. nov. presents 9 autapomorphies in the teeth and vertebrae. Demandasaurus is the first diplodocoid sauropod described from the Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula. Its inclusion in the Rebbachisauridae is well supported by our phylogenetic hypothesis, which situates it as a sister group of Nigersaurus from the Aptian of Niger, with which it shares various synapomorphies. The discovery of Demandasaurus provides further evidence of the sporadic use of the Apulian Route by dinosaurs during the Early Cretaceous for moving between the south of Europe (Laurasia) and the north of Africa (Gondwana).

Opis:
A new albanerpetontid, Wesserpeton evansae gen. et sp. nov., from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, southern England, is described. Wesserpeton is established on the basis of a unique combination of primitive and derived characters relating to the frontals and jaws which render it distinct from currently recognized albanerpetontid genera: Albanerpeton (Late Cretaceous to Pliocene of Europe, Early Cretaceous to Paleocene of North America and Late Cretaceous of Asia); Celtedens (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous of Europe); and Anoualerpeton (Middle Jurassic of Europe and Early Cretaceous of North Africa). Although Wesserpeton exhibits considerable intraspecific variation in characters pertaining to the jaws and, to a lesser extent, frontals, the new taxon differs from Celtedens in the shape of the internasal process and gross morphology of the frontals in dorsal or ventral view. It differs from Anoualerpeton in the lack of pronounced heterodonty of dentary and maxillary teeth; and in the more medial loca− tion and direction of opening of the suprapalatal pit. The new taxon cannot be referred to Albanerpeton on the basis of the morphology of the frontals. Wesserpeton currently represents the youngest record of Albanerpetontidae in Britain.

Opis:
We describe a new spalacotheriid (acute−angled) “symmetrodont” (Mammalia, Trechnotheria), Symmetrolestes parvus gen. et sp. nov., from the Lower Cretaceous, likely Barremian, Kitadani Formation of the Tetori Group, central Japan. The specimen consists of a fragmentary right lower jaw with first incisor and five preserved postcanine teeth (interpreted as p5–m4). Symmetrolestes has acute−angled molariforms with complete shearing surfaces on the para– and protocristids, and relatively tall crowns, features that are referable to Spalacotheriidae. Symmetrolestes is more derived than zhangheotheriids in having complete shearing surfaces, taller crowns, and more complete cingulids. It differs from other spalacotheriids in having fewer molariforms (m1–4), higher number of premolariforms (p1–5), and gradual transition between premolariforms and molariforms. Our cladistic analysis of 29 characters shows Symmetrolestes as the sister group of the remaining Spalacotheriidae. This node is supported by only one character (Bremer support: 1) and therefore not particularly stable. The remaining spalacotheriids are arranged in a fully pectinated tree conforming to the topology of the previous researchers, in which Spalacolestinae occupy an apical position. The combination of the occurrences of a primitive spalacotheriid, Symmetrolestes, in Japan and of Zhangheotheriidae, which is the sister taxon of Spalacotheriidae, in China suggests a possibility for an East Asian origin of Spalacotheriidae, although it implies long ghost lineages for the latest Jurassic to Early Cretaceous East Asian “symmetrodonts”.

Opis:
LithostratigraphyandbiostratigraphyoftheBystricaandRaèasubunitsoftheMaguraNappehavebeen studied in the southern part of the Beskid Wyspowy Range and on the northern slopes of the Gorce Range (Polish part of the Western Flysch Carpathians). Six new lithostratigraphic units (Jasień Formation, Białe Formation, Jaworzynka Formation, Szczawina Sandstone Formation, Krzysztonów Member, and Ropianka Formation) of the UpperAlbian–Palaeocene age have been established, and five other units (Malinowa Shale Formation, Hałuszowa Formation, Łabowa Shale Formation, Beloveza Formation, Bystrica Formation) have been additionally described. The newly created formations as well as the Malinowa Shale Formation and the Hałuszowa Formation have been included to a new Mogielica Group of units (Upper Albian–Palaeocene). This group of units passes upwards into the Beskid Group (Eocene–Oligocene).The Mogielica Group, spanning over 40 myrs, represents the turbidite depositional system, separated by highstand variegated clays which can be correlated with minor sequences in terms of sequence stratigraphy. The following biostratigraphic zones have been recognised in the Cretaceous–Lower/Middle Eocene deposits: Plectorecurvoides alternans, Bulbobaculites problematicus, Uvigerinammina jankoi, U. jankoi-C. gigantea, Caudammina gigantea, Remesella varians, Rzehakina fisistomata, Glomospira div. sp., and Saccamminoides carpathicus. A few lithostratigraphic units consisting of calcareous sediments have been correlated with the standard calcareous nannoplankton zonation and the chronostratigraphy.
Płaszczowina magurska, największa jednostka tektoniczna zewnętrznych Karpat Zachodnich (Fig. 1), jest całkowicie odkorzeniona od swego podłoża. Utwory serii magurskiej starsze od turonu znane są jedynie z jednostki Grajcarka (sukcesja magurska pienińskiego pasa skałkowego), wiercenia Obidowa IG-1 oraz z kilku niewielkich odsłonięć przy południowym obrzeżeniu okna tektonicznego Mszany Dolnej (Fig. 2, por. Birkenmajer & Oszczypko, 1989). W jednostce Grajcarka, ponad głębokowodnymi utworami jury górnej i neokomu, występuje “czarny flisz” formacji wronińskiej (alb-cenoman) oraz zielone łupki radiolariowe cenomanu (formacja hulińska) (Birkenmajer, 1977, por. Oszczypko et al., 2004). Szaro-zielone łupki plamiste albu-cenomanu, znane z południowego obrzeżenia okna tektonicznego Mszany Dolnej, zdefiniowane zostały w pracy jako formacja łupków z Jasienia. Formacja ta, o miąższości niemniejszej od kilkunastu metrów, zazębia się w stropie z łupkami czerwonymi formacji z Malinowej. W Beskidzie Wyspowym i Gorcach ponad łupkami pstrymi formacji z Malinowej (turon-santon/kampan) oraz poniżej łupków pstrych formacji z Łabowej (eocen dolny i środkowy) występują zróżnicowane facjalnie osady fliszowe, zaliczane dotychczas do różnych nieformalnych jednostek litostratygraficznych, takich jak: warstwy z Kaniny, piaskowce ze Szczawiny (strefa bystrzyck i raczańska) oraz warstwy z Jaworzynki (strefa raczańka i strefa Siar). Najwyższą pozycję stratygraficzną zajmują utwory tradycyjnie nazywane “warstwami inoceramowymi” lub ropianieckimi. Na podstawie szczegółowych badań lito- i biostratygraficznych wyżej wymienionych utworów kredy górnej i paleocenu, zaproponowano cztery nowe formalne jednostki litostratygraficzne w randze formacji: formację z Białego (dotychczasowe warstwy z Kaniny), formację piaskowców ze Szczawiny (dotychczasowe piaskowce ze Szczawiny), formację z Jaworzynki (dotychczasowe warstwy z Jaworzynki) oraz formację ropianiecką (dotychczasowe warstwy ropianieckie). Ponadto badano pięć innych górnokredowo-eoceńskich formacji: łupków z Malinowej, z Hałuszowej, łupków z Łabowej, beloweskiej i bystrzyckiej, które dodatkowo opisano. Wszystkie nowo zdefiniowane formacje oraz formacje: łupków z Malinowej oraz z Hałuszowej, włączono do nowo wydzielonej grupy Mogielicy (górny alb-paleocen). Grupa ta przechodzi w stropie w grupę beskidzką (eocen-oligocen) opisaną przez Bir- kenmajera & Oszczypkę (1989). Grupa Mogielicy, obejmująca okres czasowy liczący ponad 40 mln lat, reprezentowana jest przez turbidytowy system depozycyjny, ograniczony w stropie i spągu przez osady łupków pstrych, związanych z okresem wysokiego względnego poziomu morza. Wśród zespołów mikrofauny otwornicowej albu - dolnego/ środkowego eocenu, znalezionych w badanych utworach płaszczowiny magurskiej, rozpoznano większość poziomów biostratygraficznych opracowanych dla polskich Karpat zewnętrznych przez Gerocha & Nowaka (1984) oraz przez Olszewską (1997). Do tego schematu włączono również poziomy charakterystyczne dla utworów płaszczowiny magurskiej. Poziom Plectorecurvoides alternans (poziom interwałowy IZ) Definicja: dolna granica - pojawienie się gatunku Plectorecurvoides alternans Noth (w badanym materiale dolna granica nie jest uchwycona, odpowiada początkowi profilu sukcesji magurskiej), górna granica - pojawienie się Bulbobaculites problematicus (Neagu);

Opis:
The Aucellina biostratigraphy of the Upper Albian Kirchrode Marls Member succession in the Kirchrode I (1/91) cored borehole is described and the fauna illustrated. The borehole commenced at an unknown depth below the Early Cenomanian marls of the Bemerode Member, but higher beds of the Kirchrode Marls and the basal beds of the Bemerode Member were exposed in the Mittellandkanal and its Stichkanal extension at Misburg. The borehole and surface exposures permit a virtually complete Late Albian succession of Aucellina species to be observed. Published Aucellina range data from the borehole are reassessed and it is suggested that the lower part of the recorded range is based partly on misidentifications of fragments of thin-shelled bivalves such as Syncyclonema and Amussium. Aucellina appears in the borehole succession within the upper part of the Callihoplites auritus ammonite Subzone (Mortoniceras inflatum Zone) and continues to the top of the borehole succession within the Preaeschloenbachia briacensis ammonite Subzone (Stoliczkaia spp. Zone). Aucellina from higher in the briacensis Subzone collected from the Misburg Mittellandkanal section are also discussed and illustrated. There is some evidence that Aucellina occurs typically at levels in the borehole containing predominantly Boreal European Province ammonites, supporting the general inference that Aucellina lived in cooler northern waters. In contrast, Aucellina is poorly represented in intervals with Tethyan ammonites and thin-shelled inoceramids (e.g. the Mortoniceras (Durnovarites) perinflatum Subzone, Stoliczkaia spp. Zone). The briacensis Subzone, with an admixture of Tethyan (Stoliczkaia) and Boreal ammonites contains a distinctive, taxonomically highly diverse Aucellina assemblage. Relevant taxonomic research on European Late Albian and Early Cenomanian Aucellina faunas is reviewed. The Late Albian Aucellina succession in the borehole differs from that established from partially correlative successions in England.

Opis:
The Trinity therians have long been the focus of attempts to reconstruct the evolutionary history of higher mammals, especially in the context of the development of tribospheny. In this paper, we update the taxonomy of the tribosphenidan taxa known from the Trinity Group and establish with more confidence the premolar/molar count in each. Many isolated specimens can be referred to a specific tooth locus. Additional diversity is revealed within the Deltatheroida, with the description of an additional species of Oklatheridium; Pappotherium is here considered a likely metatherian based on the inferred presence of four molars, while Holoclemensia is a basal eutherian (the opposite of some traditional interpretations). The remainder of the genera, Kermackia and Slaughteria, cannot be allied with either of the living groups of tribosphenidan mammals using the available data. We identify strong morphological diversity within this assemblage of stem taxa, including modifications to the traditional tribosphenic occlusal pattern in Kermackia. Mammalian evolution at the base of the tribosphenidan radiation was complex, and this underscores the need for caution when interpreting the morphology and relationships of taxa known by incomplete material.

Opis:
The proto-Silesian Basin was well developed within the Alpine Tethys during the Late Jurassic times and existed as undivided entity until the significant Late Cretaceous reorganization. The deposits originated within this basin were incorporated into different structural units: Silesian, Subsilesian and Skole. The calciturbiditic Cieszyn Limestone Formation is the oldest Cretaceous flischoidal sequence of the proto-Silesian Basin. This calciturbiditic sedimentation passed gradually into younger siliciclastic deposition.

Opis:
Brontomerus mcintoshi is a new genus and species of sauropod dinosaur from the Hotel Mesa Quarry in Grand County, Utah, USA, in the upper part of the Ruby Ranch Member (Aptian–Albian) of the Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation. It is known from at least two fragmentary specimens of different sizes. The type specimen is OMNH 66430, the left ilium of a juvenile individual; tentatively referred specimens include a crushed presacral centrum, a complete and well−preserved mid−to−posterior caudal vertebra, the partial centrum of a distal caudal vertebra, a complete pneumatic anterior dorsal rib from the right side, the nearly complete left scapula of a much larger, presumably adult, individual, and two partial sternal plates. Brontomerus is diagnosed by five autapomorphies of the type specimen: preacetabular lobe 55% of total ilium length, longer than in any other sauropod; preacetabular lobe directed anterolaterally at 30 to the sagittal, but straight in dorsal view and vertically oriented; postacetabular lobe reduced to near absence; ischiadic peduncle reduced to very low bulge; ilium proportionally taller than in any other sauropod, 52% as high as long. In a phylogenetic analysis, Brontomerus was recovered as a camarasauromorph in all most parsimonious trees, but with uncertain position within that clade. The large preacetabular lobe of the ilium anchored powerful protractor and abductor muscles, but precise interpretation is impossible without functionally related elements such as femora and proximal caudal vertebrae. Brontomerus is the eighth sauropod genus named from the Early Cretaceous of North America, and more remain to be described: North American sauropod diversity did not decline catastrophically at the end of the Jurassic as often assumed. The most striking differences between Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous sauropod faunas in North America is that the former are abundant and dominated by diplodocids, whereas the latter are comparatively scarce— though still diverse—and dominated by macronarians.

Opis:
The present study establishes a lithostratigraphic subdivision, a bio- and chemostratigraphy and describes the sedimentology of the Alstatte Bay at the southern margin of the Lower Saxony Basin in northern Germany. The socalled Fischschiefer is developed in the lower part of the section, a 2.1 m thick laminated interval that shows TOC values of up to 2 % and is interpreted as local expression of the global Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE 1a). The basal part of the Fischschiefer is fairly continuously laminated, whereas its upper part is characterized by an alternation of laminated and non-laminated beds. Stable carbon isotopes ([delta^13]C[carb]) show a characteristic pattern for the Fischschiefer interval that can be correlated with sections from the Tethyan Realm. Immediately above the Fischschiefer, however, the studied section might reveal a diagenetic overprint as indicated by very negative carbon stable isotope values. The remaining part of the section is characterized by a rather monotonous claystone succession, terminated by a greenish layer rich in glauconite overlain by glacial till of Pleistocene age. The fauna is typically Boreal in the lower part of the section, but changes around 2 m above the Fischschiefer towards an assemblage indicating a distinct Tethyan influx. The faunal shift is considered to be due to the maximum flooding of the continuous, long-term sea level rise of the Early Aptian which led also to a supposed shift from a restricted to open bay environment.

Opisano szereg elementów paleograficznych: Tetyda alpejska i basen magurski, grzbiet ślaski, basen seweryńsko-mołdawidzki oraz platforma północnoeuropejska. W obrębie tej platformy wyróżniono strefy wyniesione: grzbiet Baska-Inwałd oraz pawłowska platforma węglanowa, a także strefy basenowe: basen bachowicki i basen mikułowski.
The present paper concentrates on the elements important to understanding the paleogeography of the West Carpathians during Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous times. These elements are linked to the lithostratigraphy of the various facies zones as well as occurrence of hydrocarbon source rocks. Several paleogeographic elements have been described: the Alpine Tethys, Magura Basin, Silesian Ridge, Severin-Moldavidic Basin and North European Platform. The uplifted and basinal zones were distinguished within the platform. The Baska-Inwałd Ridge and Pavlov Carbonate Platform belong to the uplifted elements, while Bachowice and Mikulov basins represent the basinal zones.

Opis:
The south-western part of the Gorce Mts (Outer Carpathians) is composed of flysch deposits of the Krynica and Bystrica subunits of the Magura Nappe. The Krynica Subunit includes the Late Cretaceous–Paleocene Ropianka Fm, the Early Eocene Beloveža Fm, the Early Eocene–Oligocene Magura Fm and the Oligocene–Early Miocene Malcov Fm, while the Bystrica Subunit includes the Middle Eocene–?Oligocene Magura Fm, represented mainly by the thick-bedded Magura Sandstone. Thin- and medium-bedded sandstone-shale turbidites predominate in the other formations. The lithostratigraphic units are dated on the basis of foraminifers. The studied deposits accumulated in the southern part of the Magura Basin. Their detrital material was derived from a ridge, bounding the basin in the south. In the study area, the Krynica Subunit overthrusts the Bystrica Subunit. The studied deposits are folded, thrust and cut by numerous faults. The Turbacz Thrust Sheet and the newly identified Kudłoń Thrust Sheet were distinguished in the Krynica Subunit. Faults of different lengths and throws are transverse or oblique. Some of them form complex dislocation zones with lengths of up to several km. In general, the high-resolution digital elevation model DEM contributed significantly to progress in the geological and geomorphological research.

Dla piaskowców wchodzących w skład litofacji SC, S i SM oznaczono gęstość pozorną i nasiąkliwość. Badania petrograficzne obejmowały obserwacje w mikroskopie optycznym i skaningowym oraz w katodoluminescencji, a także badania porozymetryczne i oznaczenia współczynnika przepuszczalności. Wyniki badań wskazują na dwa czynniki odpowiedzialne za korzystne właściwości zbiornikowe piaskowców węglowieckich. Pierwszy stanowi wczesna i ograniczona cementacja krzemionkowa, mająca istotne znaczenie dla opóźnienia postępu kompakcji i zachowania porowatości osadu w początkowej fazie diagenezy. Drugi czynnik to koncentracja cementu węglanowego w obrębie konkrecji. Bioklasty krzemionkowe oraz najdrobniejsze frakcje ziaren kwarcu stanowiły źródło mikrokrystalicznego cementu kwarcowego oraz cementu chalcedonowego. Lokalnie wysoka zawartość biogenicznej krzemionki była przyczyną obfitej cementacji chalcedonowej. Cementacja węglanowa przyczyniła się do znacznej redukcji tej przestrzeni porowej, jaka zachowała się po wcześniejszej kompakcji osadu i cementacji krzemionkowej. Cement węglanowy, jak również okruchy węglanowe rejestrowano tylko w obrębie konkrecji, podczas gdy w ich otoczeniu stwierdzono brak detrytycznego materiału węglanowego i cementu węglanowego. Zatoki korozyjne w ziarnach kwarcu i skaleni notowane w otoczeniu konkrecji stanowią ślady po pierwotnych węglanach. Proces powstawania konkrecji węglanowych w piaskowcach węglowieckich można uznać jako wczesnodiagenetyczny, przemawia za tym wysoka zawartość cementu węglanowego oraz luźne upakowanie ziaren szkieletowych w obrębie konkrecji. Stwierdzono, że główną rolę w kształtowaniu cech zbiornikowych odgrywa skład mineralny materiału okruchowego, który decyduje o kierunku przemian diagenetycznych i wykształceniu określonego zespołu spoiw, podczas gdy litofacje są mniej istotne dla ich właściwości kolektorskich.
The Early Cretaceous Węglówka Beds is the reservoir of the Węglówka Oil Field, one of the earliest discovered in the Outer Carpathians (exploitated since 1888). This region is the cradle of world oil exploration and petroleum industry. The Węglówka Beds form two anticlines within the half-window of the Sub-Silesian Unit. A sedimentological analysis of several sections revealed the following lithofacies of the subaqueous gravity flow: conglomeratic sandstones (SC), sandstones (S), sandstone-mudstone couplets (SM), mudstone-sandstone couplets (MS) and mudstones (M). Apparent density and water absorptivity were determined for 47 sandstone samples collected from the facies SC, S, SM. The 15 most differentiated samples were selected for further petrographic and diagenetic studies with optical and scanning electron microscopes, X-ray diffraction and cathodoluminescence. Furthermore, mercury injection curves and permeability coefficients were determined. The results of analyses indicate that two factors are responsible for the good/positive reservoir properties of the Węglówka Sandstone. The first factor is the early and limited siliceous cementation. Siliceous sponge spicules and very fine quartz grains were the source of sparse chalcedonie cement and microcrystalline quartz, which formed rims around the grains while pores remained free. Compaction was inhibited and initial porosity was preserved to a large extent. Stronger chalcedonie cementation and the reduction of porosity occurred only locally as the result of the high content of biogenic silica. The other factor is the carbonate cement, which occurs only in spots (concretions). Carbonate cementation brought about a large reduction of the pore space within the concretions, which survived compaction and siliceous cementation. Both carbonate cement and carbonate detrital material were observed only within concretions. Corrosion of quartz and feldspars was the only trace of primary carbonates in their close vicinity. In turn, the abundance of the carbonate cement and a loose grain framework in the carbonate concretions was the evidence of the early origin of concretions. The study has revealed that the mineral composition of the detrital components controlled the diagenesis and formation of specific assemblages of cements and thus played the main role in modelling the reservoir properties of the Węglówka Sandstone. Those properties were controlled by the sedimentary conditions (facies) to a far lesser extent.

Opis:
Jednym z celów prężnie rozwijającej się w ostatnich latach geoturystyki jest propagowanie aspektów poznawczych związanych z geologiczną historią Ziemi. W niniejszej pracy zostały zawarte opisy klasycznych polskich stanowisk, w których odsłaniają się najstarsze utwory Karpat Zewnętrznych (fliszowych). Po pierwsze, są to odsłonięcia inicjalnych, basenowych osadów późnojurajsko-wczesnokredowych, reprezentujących wczesne stadia węglanowej sedymentacji fliszowej, odbywającej się w obrębie młodego zbiornika protośląskiego (Goleszów - formacja wędryńska, dolina Soły w Żywcu i Jasieniowa Góra oraz Leszna Górna - formacja wapieni cieszyńskich). Po drugie, są to różnej wielkości izolowane bloki skał wapiennych o olistolitowej genezie zwane skałkami andrychowskimi (Targanice, Roczyny i Inwałd), reprezentujące jurajskie utwory o charakterze rafowym i okołorafowym, powstałe w płytkowodnych środowiskach na podmorskim wyniesieniu Baska-Inwałd.
The popularization of educational aspects linked to the geological history of Earth is one of the goals of geotourism, dynamically developing recently. The present paper contains the description of the classic localities exposing the oldest deposits of the Outer Flysch Carpathians. Firstly, these are initial Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous basinal facies originated during early carbonate flyschoidal stages within the developing proto-Silesian Basin (Goleszów - Vendryne Formation; Soła River valley in Żywiec and Jasieniowa Mt and Leszna Górna - Cieszyn Limestone Formation). Secondly, these are different size limestone blocks, olistoliths in origin, known as Andrychów Klippen (Targanice, Roczyny and Inwałd) represent Jurassic reef and circum-reef environments originated in shallow-water condition on the Baska-Inwałd submarine ridge.

Opis:
We present results of the first studies of the bone microstructure of early mammals, based on the Early Jurassic Morganucodon, the Late Cretaceous multituberculates, Kryptobaatar and Nemegtbaatar, and the Late Cretaceous eutherians Zalambdalestes and Barunlestes. Our results show that the two eutherian taxa grew relatively slowly with periodic pauses in growth indicated by the presence of rest lines, while the multituberculates and Morganucodon had a faster rate of bone formation that suggests an overall rapid growth rate that slowed down later in ontogeny. Comparisons of the early mammalian bone microstructure with that of non−mammalian cynodonts, extant monotremes, and placentals are also made, and significant differences in the rate of osteogenesis in the various groups are documented. Our findings suggest differences in the growth rate between the multituberculates and the Mesozoic eutherians, and moreover, both groups appear to have slower growth rates as compared to modern monotremes and placentals. Our results further suggest that the determinate growth strategy typical of extant mammals evolved early in the evolution of the non−mammalian therapsids. We speculate that the sustained, uninterrupted bone formation among the multituberculates may have been an adaptive attribute prior to the K−T event, but that the flexible growth strategy of the early eutherians was more advantageous thereafter.
