While there is still much to learn in terms of reconstructing the dynamics of this history, with a broad understanding in place, attention is increasingly focusing on the drivers of intervals of paleoenvironmental change. In this regard, the key major limiting nutrient, phosphorus, plays a key role through its regulation of primary productivity, organic matter production and burial, and hence both regional water column deoxygenation and global oxygenation. However, our understanding of the ancient phosphorus cycle is highly limited, and hence controls on major periods of paleoenvironmental change are often obscured. Here, we will investigate phosphorus cycling in modern redox-sensitive environments, with a focus on ferruginous (Fe-containing) and low ··1= euxinic (sulfidic) water column settings that are analogous to ancient oceans. With this new understanding, we will then explore how new techniques for evaluating the phase partitioning of phosphorus can be used to unravel phosphorus cycling in ancient environments, with a particular focus on the Late Ordovician mass extinction and global ferruginous conditions in the early Neoproterozoic.Seminar 2: Phosphorus Controls on Earth’s Early Oxygenation HistoryOver the last 20 years, huge progress has been made in terms of our understanding of Earth's oxygenation history. This lecture will start with a general overview and timeline of the advances made, culminating in the most up-to-date reconstruction of atmospheric and oceanic oxygenation. Recent research will then be presented on the role that phosphorus cycling played in priming the Earth for its first major rise in atmospheric oxygen during the Great Oxidation Episode (GOE). Research pertaining to the dynamics of the GOE and links to phosphorus cycling will then be discussed. This work documents a major delay of ~100 million years in the timing of persistent atmospheric oxygenation, with intense fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen levels being linked to major climate perturbations. Finally, we will review how far our understanding of the history of mid-Proterozoic ocean chemistry has evolved over the last 20 years, with an ultimate focus on potential drivers of apparent temporal and spatial variability in this record.

    报告题目:Resolving the effects of sea level change versus tectonic deformation on syn-rift cyclo-sequence stratigraphy: a case study from the Gulf of Suez, Egypt报告人:Raed Badr博士报告人单位:开罗大学时间:2024年2月29日(周四)下午2:30报告地点:南京古生物所图书馆三楼报告厅主办:重点实验室、科技处、人教处报告简介To resolve how sedimentation is influenced by eustatic sea-level change and tectonic deformation, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of syn-rift deposits of the Wadi Baba area on the eastern margin of the Gulf of Suez, Egypt. By comparing physical stratigraphic data with age constraints from biostratigraphy, Sr isotope stratigraphy and benthic foraminiferal d18O data, we established a temporal range of 21.2 to <15.9 Myr (Aquitanian-early Langhian) for the studied section and made the following observations:1. During the early rifting stage (21.2 to 19.1 Mry), sea-level change mainly controlled the timing and development of shallow-marine sedimentary cyclicity, and the cycles were influenced by the 400 kry eccentricity-forced climatic variability.2. Tectonic subsidence was sufficient to outpace the eustatic sea-level falls at the end of the eccentricity-driven eustatic cycles. During rift-climax (19.1 to <15.9 Mry), increased tectonic subsidence/tilting and sediment influx masked the effect of eustasy.3. We found that low-gradient tectonic settings such as hanging wall dip slopes can preserve eustatic-induced stratigraphic cyclicity, unlike dynamic high-gradient settings around propagating faults, which mask or distort eustatic signals.4. During tectonic quiescence stages, sea-level falls contributed to the development of some sequence boundaries that correspond to the global Mi1ab and Mi2 events.图1 埃及苏黎世海湾中新世浅海沉积序列报告人简介Raed Badr 博士于2008年5月在开罗大学获得地质学和化学双学士学位,并在2022年获得沉积地质学的博士学位后留校担任讲师。自2013年7月至今他同时兼职担任埃及EREX石油顾问公司的高级沉积学家。他的专长为沉积学和层序地层学。Raed博士已经以第一或主要作者身份在Sedimentary Geology和 Journal of Asian Earth Science等期刊发表论文3篇。这次讲座中Raed将介绍他自2023年7月以来在南古所开展的PIFI项目合作研究。

Sponges are one of the oldest animal phyla, and are a major component of many modern and ancient ecosystems. Their evolutionary history, however, remains poorly known. There are many faunas of early sponge groups from the Cambrian, and excellent Mesozoic faunas that closely resemble modern groups, but tracing the origins of those modern groups has proven extremely difficult. This is particularly true of the Hexactinellida, where there is a large gap between their earliest ancestors (reticulosans) and the modern lineages. This gap is starting to be filled by work on two Konservat-Lagerst?tten: the Middle Ordovician Castle Bank Biota (Wales, UK), and the latest Ordovician Anji Fauna of Zhejiang. Both are starting to reveal the origins of major living lineages, and this talk explores how to trace them back to their ancestors, by understanding both their complex morphology and their ecological history.报告人介绍:Joseph P.

    报告题目:Mesozoic and Caenozoic continental biotas in Thailand报告人:Dr. Bouziane Khalloufi报告人单位:Mahasarakham University时间:2023年12月12日(周二)下午3:00报告地点:南京古生物所图书馆三楼报告厅主办:中生代陆地生态系统研究中心、青促会、古生物学与油气地层应用重点实验室、科技处、人教处报告简介Thailand is formed of two main terranes, Sibumasu and Indochina, both originating from the margin of the Gondwana. They drifted northward separately, at different times, resulting in two distinct biogeographical histories, before colliding and merging from the Late Permian. A marine regression followed, leading to the prevalence of continental deposition from the Late Triassic. During the Mesozoic, most of these deposits are located in the north-east of the country, with a few limited occurrences in Central and Peninsular Thailand. The fossil fauna shows a wide diversity of aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates, with a hundred species recorded so far (of which half remain unnamed), and referred to sharks, lungfishes, coelacanths, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, crocodiles, and turtles, occasionally associated, among others, with bivalves, conchostracans and insects. Although deposited until the Late Cretaceous, Mesozoic sediments are very poor in fossils after the Aptian.Caenozoic deposition is also predominantly continental. More widely distributed across the country, the sediments crop out in a series of intermontane basins resulting from active rifting beginning in the mid-late Palaeogene. These basins, which correspond to lacustrine to fluvio-deltaic systems, reflect the drift from a Mesozoic semi-arid climate to warm temperate and tropical conditions. As natural exposures are limited, the fossils are often associated with coal and hydrocarbon mining, or found during the excavation of water reservoirs. Vertebrates are represented by articulated or isolated remains of mammals (including hominoids), reptiles, a few amphibians, and freshwater fishes. Molluscs can agglomerate into dense beds in the north and the south, while an remarkable insect fauna has been reported from the west.Palynomorphs and plant macroremains are continuously represented throughout the Mesozoic and Caenozoic, and include some of the largest fossil trunks ever reported, as well as rare occurrences of fruits and amber.个人简介Bouziane Khalloufi is paleontologist at the Palaeontological Research and Education Centre, Mahasarakham University, in Thailand. After graduating from the Mus um national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris (France), he worked at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, and in different museums and universities in France. His research focuses on the evolution of ray-finned fishes (actinopterygians) through their anatomy and phylogeny, with a special interest in Cretaceous and Miocene marine and freshwater forms. He is also working on theoretical aspects of cladistics and biogeography, and has conducted several fieldworks in North Africa, South America, Europe and Southeast Asia.

It appears that biotic evolution proceeded in mostly anoxic environments and was punctuated by episodic oxygenation, global-scale euxinia, and alkalinity events. The late Ediacaran heterogenous redox landscape determined the course of macroevolution and macroecology, whereas the alkalinity events could control the discrete nature of early diagenetic cementation of aluminosiliciclastic sediments, and fossilization of soft-bodied organisms. This effectively reduces the fossil record giving only glimpses into the true evolutionary history.

Up to now, he has published more than 200 scientific articles and edited volumes on accretion of extraterrestrial matter on Earth as well as on the warm climates of the early Paleogene.报告简介:The most common type of meteorite that falls on Earth today, the L chondrites, originate from the largest documented collision in the solar system the past 3 billion years. This collision happened in the asteroid belt during the Ordovician period when the circa 150 km large parent body of the L chondrites was hit by another object, possibly a comet. As the parent body broke up the solar system was filled with dust from the collision.The signature of this event can be studied in Earth's sedimentary record. More than 130 fossil L-chondritic meteorites, 1-21 cm large, have been recovered during quarrying of Ordovician limestone in southern Sweden. From Earth's record of impact craters we see that a shower of asteroids, 0.1-1 km large, hit Earth during the 30 Myr after the breakup event. In mid-Ordovician strata in Baltoscandia the precise level corresponding to the breakup event has been located by extraterrestrial relict minerals, mainly chromite, representing abundant micrometeorites that reached Earth after the collision. The flux of extraterrestrial dust to Earth increased by at least two orders of magnitude. The dust kept some sunlight out, leading to cooling and an ice age, as evidenced by the onset of an eustatic sea-level fall.The Yangtze Platform contains the world's best Ordovician strata to study the effects of this asteroid breakup. We have located the stratigraphic level corresponding to the breakup event in the Kuniatan Formation in the Puxi River section near Yichang. We now plan studies of the Shihtzupu Formation to get a better idea of sea-level changes after the asteroid breakup.Left: A fossil meteorite and orthoceratite shell in Ordovician limestone plate from Sweden.Right: Darriwilian strata at Kinnekulle, Sweden, with the time of the asteroid breakup and sea-level fall marked
