Phylozone has a well-defined relative biostratigraphicposition as well as the overlying OrbitopsellaPhylozone, which is widespread all overthe southern Tethys platforms of the Lower Jurassic.The species Lituosepta compressa Hottingeris first recorded in this biozone, i.e., belowthe Orbitopsella Zone. The Lituolipora termieriInterval Zone defined by the disappearance ofthe genus Orbitopsella characterizes the upperpart of the Lower Jurassic sections. A genericrevision of the species Mayncina termieri Hottinger,afterwards attributed to the genus PaleomayncinaSeptfontaine, has been made. Thisspecies has a keriothecal wall, nearly plani- tostreptospirally coiled test, and an ontogeneticevolution of the aperture from basal-central tocribrate; it is considered herein as a junior synonymof Lituolipora polymorpha GuI and Veli. Itis proposed that the genus Lituolipora should beretained due to priority. The variability of thespecies Lituolipora termieri is also described.2008040191遗 漏 的 Rotalia beccarii var. tepida cushman1926 的 模 式 标 本 = The lost types of Rotaliabeccarii var. tepida cushman 1926. ( 英 文 ).Haayward B W; Buzas M A; Buzas-Stephens P;Holzmann M. Journal of Foraminiferal Research,2003, 33(4): 352-354 1 图 版 .In 1926, Cushman described Rotalia beccariivar. tepida from San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico.His publication illustrates a strew slide withmany individuals, and no holotype was designated.Consequently, over the years, researchershave assumed that no holotype exists. A searchof the Cushman Collection, however, discovereda slide labeled as holotype and it is so recordedin the Cushman Catalog of 1929. Here, thisspecimen is re-described and designated as alectotype. All nine of the other surviving syntypesfrom the original collection in San JuanHarbor, Puerto Rico, now become paralectotypes.Hopefully, the designation of formal types forAmmonia tepida (Cushman) will help stabilizethe taxonomy of this important species. Ourstudy shows that the lectotype is morphologicallydistinguishable from other Ammonia typesand that the distribution of Ammonia tepida isrestricted to tropical shallow-water environments.2008040192巴 勒 斯 坦 盐 岭 Punjab 地 区 新 的 古 新 世 的 圆 片虫 形 的 有 孔 虫 = New Paleocene orbitoidiformforaminifera from Trhe punjab saltrange,Pakistan. ( 英 文 ). Carles Ferràndez-Cañadell. Journal of Foraminiferal Research,2002, 32(1): 1-21 8 图 版 .The orbitoidiform foraminifers from the Paleoceneof the Pakistan Salt Range, traditionallydesignated by "Orbitosiphon" or "Actinosiphon",include two different genera, both with a concave-convextest shape. The first of these ischaracterized by a typically orbitoidal growthwith lateral chamberlet layers on both sides ofthe equatorial layer, and corresponds to Lepidocyclina(Polylepidina) punjabensis Davies, thetype species of the genus Orbitosiphon Rao. Thesecond genus, named here Setia nov. gen., ischaracterized by orbitoidal chamberlet cyclesand differentiated dorsal and ventral sides, withlateral chamberlets on the dorsal side and a canalsystem resembling that of miogypsinids on theventral side. It includes two species, S. tibetica(Douvillé 1916) and a stratigraphically lower,structurally more simple new species, S. primitivasp. nov. Both genera are found in the top ofthe Hangu Formation, the Lockhart Limestones,and at the base of Patala Formation from the SaltRange "Laki Beds", which comprise the middleand upper parts of the Paleocene. The test of thenew genus Setia shows a new morphostructuraltype, resembling that of miogypsinids, but withorbitoidal growth. Both Setia and Orbitosiphonbecame extinct before the arrival of orthophragminids(Discocyclina and Orbitoclypeus) to thebasin (together with Nummulites, Assilina andAlveolina), and therefore are never found togetherwith the latter. The reports of orthophragminidsfrom the Lockhart Limestones andthe lower part of Patala Shales actually correspondto misidentified O. punjabensis or S. tibetica.On the other hand, the American Paleocenegenus Actinosiphon cannot be related toeither Orbitosiphon or Setia. Although it is similarto the former, it differs in several characters,such as the shape and arrangement of equatorialchamberlets and the stolon system.2008040193西 班 牙 伊 比 利 亚 山 脉 和 巴 斯 克 - 坎 塔 布 连 盆地 中 下 侏 罗 统 有 孔 虫 筛 选 性 埋 藏 过 程 = Taphonomicprocesses in selected lower and MiddleJurassic foraminifera from the Iberian rangeand Basque-Cantabrian basin (Spain).

Journal of ForaminiferalResearch, 2002, 32(1): 22-42 6 图 版 .Lower and Middle Jurassic foraminifera fromthe Iberian and Basque-Cantabrian Basins exhibitdistinct features due to different biostratinomicand diagenetic processes. The mainmechanisms of taphonomic alteration identifiedin our material are bioerosion, abrasion, fragmentation,dissolution, sedimentary infilling,cementation, mineralization, recrystallizationsensu lato, pressure-dissolution processes, distortionand removal. Sample preparation preventsthe detection of mechanism such as reorientation,regrouping or geopetal infillings. Bioerosionis represented by rare and isolated holes.61
