Volcanic Manifestations

The new exhibition is located in Hall 5 «Geotectonics» in the Earth Science Museum at Moscow State University and devoted to an urgent problem of volcanic manifestations in areas of hot spots. Among the large number of active volcanoes on our planet, a significant place is occupied by volcanoes of hot spots and mantle plumes, which are characterized by the eruption of a huge amount of pyroclastic material (Hawaii, Yellowstone) and often form large igneous provinces (Eastern Siberia, Kerguelen, Deccan, Iceland). The exhibition presents geological samples from the funds and collections of the museum staff. All samples are characteristic of hot spot volcanoes and mantle plumes from different regions of the world.

The article discusses the use of live plants as the botanical exposition component supplement of the “Natural areas” (hall № 17 “Natural zonality and its components” and № 20 “Desert, subtropical, tropical countries, high-altitude zone”) and “Physico-georaphic regions” (hall № 24 “Continents and parts of the world”) departments in order to visualize information presented in the Earth Science Museum. Demonstration of plants originating from different regions of the world representing different life forms and being structural components of various plant communities allows to visually characterizing thematic aspects of an exposition. That in turn reveal such principles of systematic nature organization as ecobiomorphic and phytocenotic.

The paper is focused on characteristics of the peltaspermalean pteridosperms from the Lower Permian (Kungurian stage) of the Mazuevka locality (Kishert District of the Perm region, Russia). The paper is based on the material kept in the paleobotanical collection of the Earth Science Museum of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. The peltasperm seed-bearing organ is characterized for the Mazuevka locality for the first time. This organ is preliminarily determined in open nomenclature as Peltaspermum sp. General considerations by the present authors on the possible entomophily of at least some representatives of peltaspermalean pteridosperms are given.
