湘、桂两省下二叠统栖霞组的群体古生态

湘,桂两省栖霞组中的生物化石常以一定的组合类型出现,各种生物化石组合的形成都受到各种环境因素控制,因此它们具有指相意义。多种组合的存在证明了栖霞期沉积环境的多样性。对化石组合的描述和古生态分析作出其沉积环境的推论,研究这些化石组合的时空分布规律则得出该地区岩相古地理概貌。图8,参7。     

云南禄丰、贵州桐梓、陕西富县的鱼粪化石

粪化石是所有脊椎动物的排泻物。文中建议建立粪石科代替粪化石,把不同类动物的粪石均按生物命名法给以属种的名称。文内提出了5个属名,鱼粪石建立5个种。     

论Finospirifer的形态源流

本文叙述腕足动物石燕类Finospirifer(鳍石燕)属的特殊性状在分类中的意义,并试用中槽壳线程式、生成顺序及其它特性分析比较Cyrtospirifer chaoi(赵氏弓石燕)与Finospirifertaotangensis(陶塘鳍石燕)的形态特征,阐述两者在形态演变中的遗传与变异的关系,认为前者可能是后者的直系亲型。

Develop hydroenergy resources and protect earth environment

Energy is a driving force behind the progress of human civilization. Mainly depend on the current human society of non-renewable fossil energy sources, such as coal and oil, its increasing demand. Gradually reduce the reserves, the contradiction between supply and demand becoming increasingly prominent. With the process of human history has moved forward with the depletion of fossil energy will eventually be unable to sustainable use. The total hydropower resources are limited, but it is renewable, clean energy, its energy is infinite. Therefore, the full use of limited water resources and slow down the depletion of fossil energy process, is to improve and protect the earth＇ s ecology and environment, one of the most realistic measures.     

New records for hermatypic corals (Anthozoa: Scleractinia) in the Gulf of California,Mexico, with an historical and biogeographical discussion

This paper reports range extensions for seven hermatypic coral species in the Gulf of California. An analysis of the distribution and fossil record of the 12 hermatypic species of the Gulf shows that the coral communities of the Gulf are the oldest ones in the eastern Pacific. Two species have been recorded in the Gulf (or nearby) since the Pliocene and several other species since the Pleistocene. The uninterrupted fossil record falsifies the hypothesis of a total extinction of reef corals in the eastern Pacific during the Pleistocene. The fossil evidence and temperature calculations support the conjecture that the Gulf of California was a refuge zone for corals and other warm-water biotas during the same epoch. Also it is suggested that some species of the genera Porites may have an Atlantic origin, contrary to the accepted idea of an exclusive Indo-Pacific origin of the eastern Pacific coral fauna.     

"传奇"生成的"活化石"

《赵飞燕外传》是从“史传”的母体里孕育出来的第一篇具有“传奇”文体特征的作品,是研究“传奇”生成的“活化石”。在它身上既刻有“史传”到“传奇”蝉蜕的清晰的“演进痕迹”,又散发着“胚态形”传奇作品所特有的野性的文化气息,从文化品格角度而言,堪称传奇系列中里程碑式的作品。     

追寻巨犀的踪迹

内蒙古自治区的二连盆地在亚洲哺乳动物化石研究史上占有极为特殊而重要的地位。20世纪20年代，纽约的美国自然历史博物馆组织了第三中亚考察团，这支研究亚洲地质与古生物有史以来最大的队伍在内蒙古地区以及蒙古国南部戈壁沙漠进行了成功的发掘，其成果在世界上引起了极大的轰动。
