The Past

AbstractForaminiferal evidence in the past has been held to suggest that the Gault is a deep sea deposit—a view which conflicts with the belief held by many on geological and other palaeontological grounds that the Gault was laid down in fairly shallow water. This contradiction is due to a misinterpretation of the foraminiferal evidence which, in the opinion of the writer, favours a temperate, relatively shallow marine environment for the deposition of the Gault, at least in South-East of England.

SummaryBoreholes drilled at Sandnes, SW Norway penetrated Quaternary (Weichselian) marine interstadial sediments which contained ostracods. The ostracods, which are analysed and discussed, were found to be indicative of cool, probably sub-arctic, shallow-water conditions. Some evidence of faunal mixing is attributed to the effects of glacial meltwater input into a shallow marine environment.

The Bhainskati Formation of the Tansen Group in the Palpa area is known for hematite iron ore deposit for long time. A prominent band of hematite of about 1-2 m thickness and extending >5 km was identified in the upper part of the Bhainskati Formation in the present study. The band is repeated three times in the area by folding and faulting. Petrographic study shows that it is oolitic ironstone of sedimentary origin. Main minerals in the band are hematite, goethite, quartz, calcite, siderite and albite. Hematite content varies considerably among samples and occurs mainly as oolite and cement. The Bhainskati ironstone with its ferrous mineral assemblage and well-rounded texture of the ooids suggests shallow marine environment (prodeltaic to estuarine) with reduced clastic input.

SummaryThe discovery of marine fossils in the Upper Palaeozoic of the Oslo Region suggests a previously unknown marine transgression of probable middle Carboniferous age. The fossiliferous sequence in the Oslo district was probably deposited in a very shallow marine environment as indicated by its fauna, ooids and the strong micritization of the fossils. The discovery of this sequence is consistent with the rift model for the Oslo Rift Zone, and suggests a connection with the Variscan Ocean.

Detailed Diagnosis

AbstractThe discovery of new specimens of Pachyvaranus crassispondylus Arambourg, 1952 from the Maastrichtian phosphates of Morocco and Syria enables us to (1) redescribe in detail this poorly known varanoid lizard, (2) provide a more detailed diagnosis and (3) re-evaluate the systematic affinities of this taxon within squamates. The latter is placed in Pachyvaranidae nov., considered a new unranked clade of non-pythonomorph Varanoidea. The intense pachyosteosclerosis observed in the vertebrae and ribs suggests a primarily aquatic mode of life for Pachyvaranus. This is in accordance with the sedimentological context (shallow marine environment). As for its palaeobiogeographical distribution, Pachyvaranus is a component of the marine reptile assemblages from the southern margin of the Mediterranean Tethys, around palaeolatitudes 20° N. The osteoderms previously referred to this taxon by Arambourg are reanalysed and assigned to a teleost fish.
