Thefollowing species are recorded and described:Pseudoscyliorhinus reussi (Herman, 1977) comb.nov., Crassescyliorhinus germanicus (Herman,1982) gen. nov., Scyliorhinus elongatus (Davis,1887), Scyliorhinus brumarivulensis sp.nov., ?Palaeoscyllium sp., Prohaploblepharusriegrafi (Müller, 1989) gen. nov., ?Cretascyliorhinussp., Scyliorhinidae incertae sedis 1,Scyliorhinidae incertae sedis 2, Pteroscylliumhermani sp. nov., Protoscyliorhinus sp., Leptochariascretaceus sp. nov., PalaeogaleushavreensisHerman, 1977, Paratriakis subserratussp. nov., Paratriakis tenuis sp. nov., Paratriakissp. indet. and ?Loxodon sp. Taxa belonging tothe families ?Proscylliidae, Leptochariidae andCarcharhinidae are described from the Cretaceousfor the first time. The evolutionary andpalaeoecological implications of these newlyrecognised faunas are discussed.2008040417法 国 加 来 海 峡 Boulonnais 中 泥 盆 世 最 早 的 全头 鱼 化 石 = The oldest holocephalan (Chondrichthyes)from the Middle Devonian of theBoulonnais (Pas-de-Calais, France). ( 英 文 ). DarrasL; Derycke C; Blieck A; Vachard D.Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2008, 7(5): 297-304The Couderousse Member of the BlacourtFormation in the Banc-Noir quarry, Ferquesinlier, Boulonnais (Pas-de-Calais, France) hasyielded a tooth plate whose morphology is similarto that of Synthetodus, which is considered aholocephalan. Its histology is made of an outerenameloid-like tissue, and an inner trabeculardentine. Its occlusal surface shows a beanshapedbulge. This tooth plate was preparedfrom a limestone that is dated from the Middle–Upper varcus Conodont Zone, that is lower upperGivetian. This limestone has also yielded aPokorninella bricae–Rothpletzella–Tentaculitesassemblage, which is indicative of an environmentof the inner to middle marine platformboundary. This specimen appears to be the oldestconfirmed holocephalan (‘bradyodont’) toothplate for which the name Melanodus loonesi nov.gen. et sp. is erected.两 栖 类2008040418中 亚 吉 尔 吉 斯 斯 坦 Fergana 盆 地 BalabansaiSvita 中 侏 罗 世 两 栖 类 = Amphibians from theMiddle Jurassic Balabansai Svita in the Ferganadepression, Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia).

The presence of a supraglenoid foramenand a complex strap-like glenoid on thescapulocoracoid in Kokartus supports its basalphylogenetic position within the Caudata.2008040419日 本 下 白 垩 统 一 早 期 草 食 蜥 蜴 = An earlyHerbivorous Lizard from the Lower Cretaceousof Japan. ( 英 文 ). Evans S E; Manabe M. Palaeontology,2008, 51(2): 487-498The Lower Cretaceous Tetori Group of Japanhas yielded diverse freshwater and terrestrialvertebrate assemblages. The most productivesmall vertebrate locality is the 'Kaseki-Kabe' or'fossil-bluff' at Kuwajima, Hakusan City, IshikawaPrefecture. These deposits have producedat least six distinct lizard taxa of which one, describedand named here as Kuwajimalla kagaensis,has lanceolate denticulate teeth convergenton those of the living Iguana. This type of dentitionis rare among living lizards and is usuallyconsidered indicative of herbivory and, morespecifically, folivory. Kuwajimalla kagaensisprovides the earliest unambiguous record ofsquamate herbivory. Comparisons with modernand fossil lizards suggest that Kuwajimalla maybe an early relative of the macrocephalosaurines,a group of large herbivores well represented inthe Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia.爬 行 类2008040420中 国 东 北 发 现 早 白 垩 世 一 种 新 的 长 丝 状 皮 肤的 巨 大 新 颌 龙 = A New Giant CompsognathidDinosaur with Long Filamentous Integumentsfrom Lower Cretaceous of Northeastern China.( 英 文 ).
