Abstract The first record of a chiton (Polyplacophora) from the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (Late Creta-ceous) is described herein. It comes from the working quarry of Plaňany, located near the town Kolín. Excavated deposits are of the late Cenomanian - early Turonian. The poorly preserved specimen consists of a tail valve remain and two intermediate valves, it is associated herein only with order level - i.e. Le-pidopleurida Thiele, 1910. The state of its preservation shows signs of corrosion of dorsal part caused probably by biologic digestion (in stomach) and/or, more probably, by long exposure at the sea bottom. Stratigraphically, the layer yielding chiton shell is referred to be the late Cenomanian in age. The chiton living conditions are interpreted as very shallow water environment (not exceeding 20m) with irregular rocky basement possessing numerous caves and crevices.

Shallow Water Environment

The objectives of this paper are to analyze the effectiveness of parameters on sound propagation in a shallow-water environment. The procedure for calculation of transmission loss is only the method to analyze the influence of environmental parameters. The normal mode approach is carried out for the calculation of transmission loss. And it is conducted in the range independent environment Transmission loss for sound propagation in shallow water depends upon many natural variables such as sea surface, water medium, and sea bottom. Analyses are finalized on the results obtained by considering two types of sound channels. The results indicated that acoustic transmission loss in a shallow-water environment is dependent on the source & receiver depths, sea surface, sound speed profile (SSP) in water, sound speed in bottom, density of water & bottom, propagation range and frequency. It is necessary to mention that better transmission was found during the sound velocity increases with depth; whereas the poor transmission occurred in negative gradient channel.

AbstractShallow water acoustics provide a means for monitoring and surveillance of near-shore environments. This paper describes the current and future capabilities of the low- to high-frequency Hawaii Experimental Acoustics Range (HEAR) that was designed to facilitate a wide range of different shallow water acoustics experiments and allow researchers from various institutions to test various array components and configurations. HEAR is a portable facility that consists of multiple hydrophones (12‐16) cabled independently to a common central node. The design allows for variable array configurations and deployments in three modes: experimental (off boats and piers), autonomous, and cabled. An application of HEAR is illustrated by the results from a deployment at Makai Research Pier, Oahu, Hawaii. In this deployment, HEAR was configured as a long-baseline range of two volumetric subarrays to study passive acoustic tracking capabilities in a shallow water environment.

Shallow Water Environment

Aldebarania arenitea (Astropectinidae; Asteroidea; Echinodermata) is described from the Rocky Point Member of the Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) Peedee Formation of North Carolina. A turbulent, shallow-water environment is suggested by sedimentary features, a diverse marine fauna, and the morphology of Aldebarania. Aldebarania appears to be a partial ecological equivalent of living Astropecten and Luidia; however, phylogenetic relationships within the Astropectinidae are unstudied and the origin of similarities is unknown.

ABSTRACTTwenty-seven species assigned to 20 genera of trilobites are described from Feilaishi in Guizhou Province, the type section of the Shihtzupu Formation in S W China. They occur in association with a sparse graptolite fauna including Glyptograptus teretiusculus. Eleven taxa are recorded here for the first time. Much new morphological information is provided regarding previously known species and 3 lectotypes are selected. The trilobites are largely endemic and indicate a quiet and comparatively shallow water environment
