АКАДЕМИЯ ИСТОРИИ МАТЕРИАЛЬНОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ И ИЗДАНИЕ НОИН-УЛИНСКОЙ КОЛЛЕКЦИИ. 1920-Е ГГ.

Во второй половине 1920-х гг. в Академии истории материальной культуры готовилось масштабное издание ноин-улинской коллекции из раскопок Монголо-Тибетской экспедиции П.К. Козлова, которое так и не состоялось. По документам архива ИИМК РАН реконструируются этапы подготовки материалов к публикации и роль Академии в этом процессе.

Doushantuo-Pertatataka—Like Acritarchs From the Late Ediacaran Bocaina Formation (Corumbá Group, Brazil)

Acritarchs, a polyphyletic group of acid-resistant organic-walled microfossils, dominate the eukaryotic microfossil record in the Proterozoic (2500–541 Ma) yet exhibit significant reduction in diversity and size at the transition to the Phanerozoic (541–520 Ma). Despite the difficulty of tracing phylogenetic relationships among acritarchs, changes in their complexity and diversity through time have allowed their use in paleoecological and biostratigraphic schemes. The Doushantuo-Pertatataka Ediacaran acritarch assemblage, for example, is usually considered as restricted to the early Ediacaran between 635 and 580 Ma. But similar, diverse acritarchs have been recovered from younger rocks in Mongolia and Arctic Siberia and are now reported here from phosphatized horizons of the upper Bocaina Formation (ca. 555 Ma), Corumbá Group, SW Brazil. In the overlying black limestones and shales of the latest Ediacaran Tamengo Formation (542 Ma) acritarch diversity is low, but the skeletal metazoans Cloudina and Corumbella are abundant. The Bocaina acritarch assemblage shares forms referable to the genera Leiosphaeridia, Tanarium, Asseserium and Megasphaera with the Doushantuo-Pertatataka assemblage, but also includes specimens similar to the Phanerozoic genus Archaeodiscina in addition to two new complex acritarchs. The first is covered by rounded low conical bumps, similar to Eotylotopalla but differs in having a distinct opening suggestive of greater (multicellular?) complexity. The second, identified here as Morphotype 1, is a double-walled acanthomorph acritarch with scattered cylindrical processes between the walls. The contrast in acritarch diversity and abundance between the Bocaina and Tamengo formations is likely due in part to paleoenvironmental and taphonomic differences (absence of the phosphatization window in the latter), as well as to the appearance of both suspension-feeding skeletal metazoans (Cloudina and Corumbella). The occurrence of Doushantuo-Pertatataka acritarchs in SW Brazil, northern Mongolia, and Arctic Siberia extend the biostratigraphic range of this assemblage up to the terminal Ediacaran Cloudina biozone.

The taxonomic structure of the fauna of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in the south of Eastern Siberia and Northern Mongolia

The taxonomic composition of the fauna has 577 species (608 subspecies) from 76 genera, representing 1% of the total fauna of the world and 5% of the Palearctic fauna. Most genera of ground beetles in the region have a predominantly Holarctic distribution, less often – Palearctic, tropical, or worldwide distribution. The fauna of the ground beetles of the region is based on the genera Amara, Bembidion, Pterostichus, Harpalus, and Carabus. The following genera are important for the fauna of ground beetles in the study region: Dyschirius, Agonum, Nebria, Cymindis, Dicheirotrichus, Poecilus, Trechus, Notiophilus, Elaphrus, Cicindela, Cylindera, Pogonus, Chlaenius, Pseudotaphoxenus.

Navigational Atlas of the Selenga River section within Mongolian People’s Republic, 1925

The article provides information on the manuscript atlas of the Selenga and Orkhon rivers within the Mongolian People’s Republic (MPR), compiled on the basis of data from 1924-1925. It was developed for the Selenga Technical Section of the Ministry of the River Fleet to guide navigation along the rivers of Mongolia. The shooting was carried out on a steam boat “Shilka”. The atlas is of interest for the dynamics of river channel processes in northern Mongolia. The materials provide information on where and how to carry out technical work to improve navigation. In addition to information on navigation, it provides economic and geographical information on the north of Mongolia in the 1920s.

Global earthquakes in the 2021 first half according to the GS RAS

Data on the 2021 first half Earth seismicity at the level of strong earthquakes with magni-tudes mb6.0 according to the Alert Service of the Geophysical Survey RAS are given. The review also includes information on 81 earthquakes in Russia and adjacent territories, felt in the settlements of the Russian Federation. For 14 strong earthquakes, within one or two days after their occurrence, Informational messages were published, and information about the focal mechanisms was giving. The strongest earthquake of the Earth with MS=7.8 (Mw=8.1) occurred on March 4 at the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand. The largest human casualties and material damage during the study period were caused by catastrophic earth-quakes with MS=5.1 (Mw=5.8) and MS=5.9 (Mw=6.3), which occurred on January 14 at the Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. As a result of the earthquakes, 81 people died, 826 were injured. The strongest earthquake in Russia was the March 16 earthquake with MS=6.7 (Mw=6.6) off the eastern coast of Kamchatka. The maximum shaking intensity in Russia (I=6) was manifested by the strong Khuvsgul earthquake with MS=7.2 (Mw=6.8), which took place on January 11 in the Northern Mongolia, near the border with Russia. The position of the main shock and its aftershocks indicate the intensification of the seismic process in the north-western part of the Khuvsgul rift zone. According to the focal mechanisms of the main shock and two strong aftershocks, the stress of the northwest/southeast extension prevails in this zone, and the predominant slip type along the faults of the northeast strike is a nor-mal fault. The global seismic energy released in the 2021 first half remains, as in the previ-ous two years, at a reduced level, relative to the average for the last 11.5 years, which indi-cates a continuing seismic calm.

Mapping the Medieval Wall System of China and Mongolia: A Multi-Method Approach

The Medieval Wall System of China and Mongolia is one of the longest wall systems in the world, but its specific chronology, function, and purpose remain ambiguous. Constructed at various points throughout the 10th to 13th centuries CE, this network of walls, forts, and enclosures covers an estimated 4000 km and spans a wide range of ecozones, from the deserts of western China to the steppes of northern Mongolia and the Khingan mountain range. In this article we used historical atlases, topographic maps, and an array of different kinds of data derived from satellite remote sensing, to produce one of the first accurate maps of the Medieval Wall System. Through this large-scale mapping program, we are now able to evaluate previous work that estimates the length of the wall system and different areas of construction. By measuring the structures associated with the wall and the length of the wall itself, we identified at least three different areas of construction along the Medieval Wall System. Future studies may be able to use similar tools to develop more accurate maps of other wall systems throughout Eurasia to further advance the comparative study of ancient wall systems.
