临夏盆地晚新生代哺乳动物群

临夏盆地位于甘肃省东南部，是青藏高原东北缘的一个山前凹陷盆地。其晚新生代地层非常发育，蕴藏着丰富的哺乳动物化石。中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所已在临夏盆地从晚渐新世至早更新世的各个层位中，发现和征集了大量的哺乳动物化石，其中以距今１５００～１２００万年的中中新世铲齿象动物群、１０００～７００万年的晚中新世三趾马动物群和约２００万年的早更新世真马动物群的材料和种类最为丰富。已有的化石标本产自近５０个化石地点，约１７００多件哺乳动物头骨，以及大量牙齿和肢骨，代表了１００多种哺乳动物；另有陆龟化石…     

甘肃临夏盆地晚中新世鹫类化石一新材料

对发现于甘肃临夏盆地的一件晚中新世大型猛禽化石标本进行了详细的对比描述.该标本较之前在我国发现的晚中新世大型猛禽类江苏泗洪的顾氏中新鹫(Mioaegypius)、山东山旺的泰山齐鲁鸟(Qiluornis)和甘肃鹫(Gansugyps)的个体均小,骨骼反映出的形态结构和前后肢比例及头骨比例也与其它鸟类有所差异.系统研究表明,它是甘肃鹫属一新材料.这一大型猛禽的发现,为研究早期猛禽类的演化、鸟类多样性以及临夏盆地晚中新世柳树组地层与古环境提供了重要的实物材料.

河北省石家庄地区栾城县晚更新世哺乳动物群埋葬学的初步研究

河北省石家庄地区栾城县晚更新世哺乳动物化石群的埋葬学研究表明,这些化石在埋葬前有过较长时期的地表风化过程,随后又经历了短距离的搬运和分选;沉积学的研究表明,这些化石是在较强水流搬运下的河道冲填或滞留相沉积。     

中国北方新近系红土成因的古生物化石讨论

为进一步弄清楚中国北方新近系红土的沉积环境,从古生物的角度出发,针对天水-秦安一带新近系沉积地层中发现的大量古脊椎动物化石进行研究,结果发现:化石组合的典型特征是大量三趾马的存在,同时伴有大量的犀类及长鼻类化石,这一特点与临夏地区极为一致,表明至少在晚中世以前该地区气候还是相当湿润的,无法产生类似黄土的新近系风成红土沉积,这也同时得到邻近其它地区相关古生物证据的支持,古脊椎动物化石证据并不支持红土唯一风成的推论.图2,表1,参13.

A Miocene ostrich fossil from Gansu Province,northwest China

A pelvic skeleton, recognized as a large terrestrial bird in the field, was recently collected by our paleomammalo-gist colleagues from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontol-ogy and Paleoanthropology from the late Miocene sandy mudstones in the Linxia Basin in Gansu Province, north-west China. We have further referred this bird to as an early representative of ostrich. Ostrich fossils usually co-existed with the famous Hipparion Fauna from the Mio-cene to Pliocene. The Linxia Basin is we…     

甘肃临夏盆地8～6 MaBP的构造变化

甘肃临夏盆地毛沟剖面上半部高精密度古地磁测年结果表明该剖面磁极性年龄为4.34～13.07 MaBP,其中东乡组、柳树组与何王家组的年龄分别为13.07～7.8 Ma,7.8～6.4 Ma和6.40～4.34 MaBP.该测年结果与文献[1]测得的结果基本一致.临夏盆地6.40～6.16 MaBP湖泊沉积环境突变,8 MaBP左右毛沟剖面地层磁偏角发生明显偏转,盆地中王家山剖面银川沟背斜大约在6 MaBP左右发生倾斜与变形,这表明临夏盆地8～6 MaBP经历了一次强烈的构造运动.     

A new Euprox from the Late Miocene of Yuanmou,Yunnan Province,China,with interpretation of its paleoenvironment

The Yuanmou Basin of Yunnan Province is a hotspot for the research of early homind evolution and its environmental background.During the implementation of the Program“Research of the Origin and Evolution of Early Man and Its Environmental Baqckground” from 1998 to 2001,a huge quantity of hominoid and mammal fossils were collected.The present report systematically describes an Euprox robustus sp.nov.identified during the recent laboratory work on the collected material.Euprox is a group of earliest cervids with true antlers.The new species is the third one of the genus discovered in China.Judged by its morphologic characteristics,the new species feed on juicy and tender leaves of dicotyledon.It implies that the vegetation of its epoch in the Yuanmou Basin is a kind of southern subtropical evergreen forest and the climate is humid and temperate with evident seasonality.The latter is mostly influenced by the monsoon and secondly by the latitude.     

Early Pliocene sediments and fossils from the northern Kenya Rift Valley

Mammalian fossils, which include the tooth of an early hominid, have been recovered from the newly mapped Ngorora Formation in the Baringo District. Preliminary dating suggests that this formation is aged between 9 and 12 million years, and the new finds thus help to span a ten million year gap in the fossil mammal record in Africa south of the Sahara.

New discovery on dinosaur fossils from Early Jurassic, Sichuan, China

An early and primitive sauropod dinosaur, Gongxianosaurus shibeiensis (gen. et sp. nov.), from Lower Jurassic Dongyuemiao Member of Ziliujing Formation in Shibei Village, Gongxian County, Sichuan Province, China is described, which is among Gongxian dinosaur fossils discovered in 1997. Except for skull incomplete, fossils were well-preserved. It has concurrently some features of both sauropod and prosauropds. It is an intermediate type of evolution from prosauropod to sauropod, provides practical materials for studying of origin and evolution of sauropod dinosaur fauna, and a favourable way for stratigraphic correlation between Early Jurassic Ziliujing Formation and Lower Lufeng Formation, in the Sichuan Basin and the Central Yunnan Basin that lies to its southwest.     

中国的三叠纪海生爬行动物化石及其层位

Discovery of a Late Miocene mammalian fauna from Siziwang Banner,Inner Mongolia,and its paleozoogeographical significance

The Wulanhua Fauna (~7 Ma) derives from the basal part of Late Miocene red clays in Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia. Chinese red clay deposits are rich in fossils of the Hipparion fauna, and are relatively widely distributed across Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Gansu provinces. The Mongolian Plateau also contains well-developed Neogene deposits, especially in central Inner Mongolia, where a sequence of mammalian faunas has been identified. The discovery of the Wulanhua Fauna provides an important indicator of the paleogeographical distribution of the Hipparion fauna, and this study also contributes to a better understanding of the climatic and environmental significance of red clays. Most forms of the Wulanhua Fauna are the same as or close to taxa within the Baode Fauna. However, some forms are slightly more derived than those of the Baode Fauna, which may indicate a slightly younger geological age of about 7 Ma. The components of the Wulanhua Fauna suggest that the habitat was a typical steppe and therefore yield direct evidence to delineate the boundary between the east and west subregions of the Late Miocene Hipparion fauna in North China.     

Discovery of Cathaysiodendron Lee from the Early Carboniferous of Jingyuan, Gansu, western China

As one of the representative members of the Late Palaeozoic Cathaysian flora, Cathaysiodendron has been previously recorded from the Early Permian Taiyuan and Shanxi Formations in north China. The species of Cathaysiodendron presented here are from the lower member of Chouniugou Formation of Ciyao, Jingyuan, Gansu. The overlying marine beds yield fusulinids that are of Visean age in western Europe and conodonts of the Datang Stage in south China, so that the age of the bed containing Cathaysiodendron as Visean, Early Carboniferous, is well constrained. Such a record of Cathaysiodendron is significant in terms of Carboniferous phytogeography and the evolution of the Cathaysian Lepidophytes. A new species, Cathaysiodendron jingyuanense Wang & Wu sp. nov. is described and a second one mentioned.     

树蕨类化石在淮北煤田的发现及意义

淮北煤田早二叠世晚期下石盒子组树蕨类茎干印痕化石丰富，计有４０余块。分属于蹄痕茎属（Ｃａｕｌｏｐｔｅｒｉｓ）、大痕木属（Ｍｅｇａｐｈｙｔｏｎ）及皱痕茎属（ＰｔｙｃｈｏＰｔｅｒｉｓ），共３属９种；其中蹄痕茎属４种（包括２个新种，Ｃａｕｌｏｐｔｒｉｓｙａｎｇｚｈｕａｎｇｅｎｓｉｓｓｐ．ｎｏｖ．和Ｃａｕｌｏｐｔｅｒｉｓｐｓｉｌｏｃｉｃａｔｒｉｘｓｐ．ｎｏｖ．）；大痕木属在国内尚属首次报道，仅见１种；皱痕茎属在国内亦属首次发现，鉴定有４个未定种。该类化石在本区以极大的丰度和良好的保存为特征，其发育显示该区早二叠世晚期热带雨林气候盛行。其次，说明树蕨类在其晚期发育中心已由欧美区移至华夏区。此外，该类在本区的发育是华夏植物地理区分化渐趋强烈的直接证据。
