Upper Campanian

Nine samples of the Belemnitella lineage, including the uppermost Lower and lower Upper Campanian B. mucronata and the uppermost lower Upper Campanian B. misburgensis sp. nov., from the expanded uppermost Lower and lower Upper Campanian succession of the Lehrte West Synclinee east of Hannover, Lower Saxony, northern Germany have been subjected to univariate and bivariate statistical analyses. The succession consists of monotonous marly limestones and calcareous marls, which were deposited during 4–5 m.y. in a fairly stable environment. Based on superficial resemblance alone the nine samples are nearly identical, but trends have been recognized in the morphological characters when treated quantitatively. Three characters, the length from the apex to the protoconch, the slenderness of the guard and the alveolar angle, show evolutionary reversals (socalled zig-zag evolution) with net decreases or increases. The Schatzky distance shows stasis in B. mucronata and decreases in B. misburgensis sp. nov. The fissure angle displays unidirectional evolution and increases gradually. These morphological changes are interpreted as long term phyletic gradualism, although this model of evolution has almost universally been depicted as one of unidirectional change. B. misburgensis sp. nov. is closely allied to B. mucronata (its ancestor), but differs in its slightly smaller and more slender guard, in addition to its smaller Schatzky distance and larger fissure angle. B. praecursor is recorded from the uppermost five metres of the Lower Campanian, and this is the first record of this species from the highest Lower Campanian of northern Germany. The uppermost Lower and Lower Upper Campanian belemnite assemblages of the Misburg/Höver area in northern Germany are reviewed. The Upper Campanian Belemnitella successions of Norfolk in England, the Maastricht-Liège district in The Netherlands and Belgium, the Mons Basin in southern Belgium, Scania in southern Sweden and the Misburg-Höver area in northwest Germany are compared and contrasted.

Do So

On 2 January 1625, the English ambassador Robert Anstruther met with King Christian IV of Norway and Denmark and requested his participation in a union of Protestant states against Emperor Ferdinand II and the Catholic League in Germany. Within three days, King Christian proposed to contribute five thousand soldiers for one year, as part of an army of almost thirty thousand men. In early June, despite opposition from the Danish Council of State, reluctant to put a huge amount of money into foreign affairs, Christian decided to join what he called “the war for the defence of Lower Saxony”. He then headed an army of mercenaries southwards through Lower Saxony, secured all crossings over the river Weser and prepared to confront the Catholic forces. On 29 November, it was decided that Denmark would be in charge of military operations in Northern Germany, whereas England and the United Provinces would provide a monthly subsidy. The political and military prospects for Denmark were excellent, to say the least. It had the fourth strongest navy in Europe (after Spain and the two new allies), and only a few years before the Danish warships had been described by a French observer as “merveilles de l'océan”. A small standing army of two regiments had recently been established and Denmark was the fourth European state to do so after France, Spain and the neighbouring Sweden.

Amongst the rich and fairly diverse echinoid faunas from the Campanian marl/marly limestone facies as exposed at the large quarries of the cement industry near Höver and Misburg (east of Hannover, northern Germany), there are a few rare taxa, most of which have not been recorded previously from the Lower Saxony Basin. These include <i>Echinogalerus peltiformis</i> (Wahlenberg, 1821), <i>Conulus (C.) matesovi</i> Poslavskaia & Moskvin in Moskvin 1959, <i>Hagenowia blackmorei</i> Wright & Wright, 1949, <i>Diplodetus</i> sp., and <i>Peroniaster cotteaui</i> Gauthier in Peron 1887. New material of another rare species, <i>Hemiaster</i> gr. <i>aquisgranensis</i> Schlüter, 1899, is here described. The palaeoecological significance of the rarity of these is briefly discussed. Of particular note, in a palaeobiogeographic context, are <i>E. peltiformis</i> and <i>C. matesovi</i>. The former is well known from Lower and Upper Campanian arenitic facies in southern Sweden, while the latter was held to be confined to the Lower Campanian of the Caucasus and Kazakhstan. These two species may have immigrated into the Lower Saxony Basin following transgressive pulses or within transgressive systems tracts. <br><br> Die reiche und vergleichsweise diverse Echinidenfauna der Mergel/Mergelkalk-Rhythmite des Campans von Misburg und Höver bei Hannover enthält einige seltene Taxa, die bisher aus dem Niedersächsischen Becken nicht bekannt waren. Dazu gehören <i>Echinogalerus peltiformis</i> (Wahlenberg, 1821), <i>Conulus (C.) matesovi</i> Poslavskaia & Moskvin in Moskvin 1959, <i>Hagenowia blackmorei</i> Wright & Wright, 1949, <i>Diplodetus</i> sp. und <i>Peroniaster cotteaui</i> Gauthier in Peron 1887. Für eine weitere Art, <i>Hemiaster</i> gr. <i>aquisgranensis</i> Schlüter, 1899, werden neue Funde beschrieben. Die paläoökologische Bedeutung der Seltenheit der vorliegenden Taxa wird diskutiert. Als besonders bedeutsam erweisen sich dabei die Vorkommen von <i>E. peltiformis</i> und <i>C. matesovi</i>. Ersterer war bisher ausschließlich aus den küstennahen Kalkareniten Südschwedens bekannt, letzterer wurde bisher nur im Untercampan des Kaukasus und von Asserbaidschan und Kasachstan nachgewiesen. Beide Arten sind wahrscheinlich im Rahmen transgressiver Schübe dritter Ordnung in das Niedersächsische Becken eingewandert. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.20020050109" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.20020050109</a>
