A series of layers rich in organic matter (sapropelites)is known in the upper Ypresian depositsof the northeastern Peri-Tethys. Study offormainifers and quantitative analysis of theirdifferent ecological groups showed that proportionof infauna is considerably grater in sapropeliclayers than in host deposits. In distinctionfrom infauna, tests of species not burrowing intosediments (epifauna) are partially dissolved. Theanalyzed paleocoenoses of benthic foraminifersimply that sapropelites have been formed mostlikely in dysoxic environments, under conditionsof the bottom waters contamination by carbondioxide in response to a high C org influx, weakenedwater circulation and low oxygen concentration.The comparison of foraminiferal assemblageswith paleocoenoses studied previously inthe Paleocene/Eocene boundary sapropelic interbedsuggests that deposits rich in C org originatedunder the same hydrogeochemical environments2008040301安 徽 巢 湖 长 兴 晚 期 ( 二 叠 纪 最 晚 期 ) 放 射 虫动 物 群 及 其 与 华 南 同 期 动 物 群 的 对 比 = A lateChanghsingian (latest Permian) radiolarian faunafrom Chaohu, Anhui and a comparison with itscontemporary faunas of South China.

Alcheringa,2008, 32(2): 199 - 222A well-preserved late Changhsingian radiolarianfauna (15 species attributed to 12 genera) isrecorded from the upper part of the Talung Formation,Chaohu, Anhui Province, South China.This radiolarian fauna includes Entactinia itsukaichiensis,Entactinia sashidai, Triaenosphaeraminutus, Hegleria mammilla, ?Wuyia dongpanica,Tetraspongodiscus stauracanthus,Tetrapaurinella discoidalis, Klaengspongusformosus, Klaengspongus spinosus, Paroertlispongusfontainei, Ormistonella elegans, Quadricaulisinflata, Ishigaum trifustis, Ishigaum obesum,and Foremanhelena robusta. This fauna ismore diverse than the fauna from the Meishansection in Zhejiang Province but is less diversethan the fauna of the Dongpan section inGuangxi Province, South China. The new faunaincorporates a higher percentage of Latentifistulariaforms than the fauna from the Meishan section,but incorporates a lower percentage of Latentifistulariaand Albaillellaria forms than thatfrom the Dongpan section. These differencescould be due to deposition of the Chaohu sedimentsin deeper waters than at Meishan, but inshallower waters than at Dongpan.2008040302土 耳 其 东 部 地 区 Taurides 东 部 Koseyahya 推覆 体 中 卡 尼 阶 织 纹 虫 = Middle Carnian (LateTriassic) Nassellaria (Radiolaria) of KoseyahyaNappe from eastern Taurides, Eastern Turkey.( 英 文 ). Tekin U K; Bedi Y. Rivista Italiana diPaleontologia e stratigrafia, 2007, 113(2): 167-190Abundant, very diverse, and well-preservedNassellarian fauna has been obtained. A comparisonwith the radiolarian faunas of Austria,Japan and Turkey allows us to assign a middleCarnian age to this radiolarian fauna from theElbistan region. This fauna contains Nassellariathat are typical for this time interval. Moreover,it contains Tetraporobrachia haeckeli Kozur &Mostler which is an index fossil that gives thename to the zone established by Kozur & Mostler.As a result of the taxonomic study of theNassellarian fauna, thirty-nine taxa amongwhich nine new species and twelve taxa remainedin open nomenclature are described andfigured in this study.2008040303法 国 - 意 大 利 边 境 法 国 - 意 大 利 边 境 滨 海 阿 尔卑 斯 山 脉 Dauphinois Domain 地 区 最 南 端 始新 世 大 有 孔 虫 生 物 地 层 = Eocene larger foraminiferalbiostratigraphy in the southernmostDauphinois Domain (Maritime Alps, France-Italy border). ( 英 文 ). Varrone D; Decrouez D.Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e stratigrafia,2007, 113(2): 257-267The Trucco Formation and the NummuliticLimestone are characterized by abundant largerforaminifera, specifically nummulitids, orthophragminidsand encrusting foraminifera. In theMaritime Alps, previous studies suggest a lateLutetian age for the Trucco Formation and a lateLutetian-Priabonian age for the NummuliticLimestone. Biostratigraphic analysis of thenummulitids, in 11 stratigraphic sections, allowedus to distinguish 3 biozones. According tocurrent larger foraminiferal biozonal shemes, theage of these local biozones corresponds to theBartonian p. p.. Moreover, the comparison withbiostratigraphic schemes established for theDauphinois Domain and for the Tethyan areaevidences that several typical nummulitid speciesof the late Bartonian are lacking in thesouthern Daupinois Domain, probably due to apaleogeographic control.2008040304土 耳 其 伊 斯 坦 布 尔 Baltalimani 组 Tournasian阶 中 上 部 的 放 射 虫 = Middle to Upper Tournasianradiolaria of the Baltalimani Formation,Istanbul, Turkey.
