HÖLTKE O., UNGER E., POLLERSPÖCK J. & RASSER M. W., 2020. The elasmobranch fauna from the Upper Marine Molasse (Lower Miocene, Burdigalian) of Ursendorf (SW-Germany). 53 textpages, 7 textfigures, 2 tables, 9 plates. 85 textpages, 8 textfigures, 61 tables Abstract: The Early Ottnangian (Early Miocene, Burdigalian) marine deposit of Ursendorf (Baden-Württemberg, South Germany) belongs to the Upper Marine Molasse (UMM) unit in the Northern Alpine Foreland Basin. The outcropping sediments mainly consist of coarse-grained, poorly sorted sands, partly showing large-scale cross-bedding. In these sediments, 24 genera of sharks and rays could be identified (Aetobatus, Araloselachus, Carcharias, Carcharhinus, Carcharodon, Carcharoides, Centrophorus, Dasyatis, Echinorhinus, Galeocerdo, Hemipristis, Isurus, Otodus (Megaselachus), Mitsukurina, Myliobatis, Notorynchus, Odontaspis, Pachyscyllium, Physogaleus, Pseudocarcharias, Raja, Rhinoptera, Squatina, Taeniurops), five of which are extinct (Araloselachus, Carcharoides, Otodus (Megaselachus), Pachyscyllium, Physogaleus). Nearly all the taxa fed on invertebrates (squid, shrimps, etc.) and/or bony fishes. One taxon (Galeocerdo) is a more generalistic feeder on invertebrates and fishes as well as on seabirds, snakes, turtles and marine mammals. Otodus (Megaselachus) and possibly also Carcharodon mainly preyed on marine mammals as well as bony fishes. The invertebrate remnants found in the same sediments (Mollusca, Bryozoa, etc.) as well as the bony fish teeth (Sparidae) indicate a typical soft-bottom community in temperate shallow water below the storm wave base. The rich invertebrate fauna and the bony fishes were a rich food supply for the sharks and rays. In order to compare Ursendorf with 16 other UMM localities in South Germany and Switzerland, a cluster analysis was conducted. In all of the three calculated indices, the Ursendorf shark fauna is most similar to that of Ballendorf, Baltringen, Ulm-Ermingen and Walbertsweiler (all in Baden-Württemberg), Benken (Switzerland) and Neuburg am Inn-Höch (Bavaria). This similarity can be explained by palaeogeographic and palaeoenvironmental features. REINECKE T., POLLERSPÖCK J., MOTOMURA H., BRACHER H., DUFRAING L., GÜTHNER T. & VON DER HOCHT F., 2020. Sawsharks (Pristiophoriformes, Pristiophoridae) in the Oligocene and Neogene of Europe and their relationships with extant species based on teeth and rostral denticles. 107 textpages, 44 textfigures, 5 tables. Abstract: In the fossil record, sawsharks (family Pristiophoridae BLEEKER, 1859) include the genera Pristiophorus MÜLLER & HENLE, 1837, Pliotrema REGAN, 1906 and Ikamauius KEYES, 1979, which are mainly or exclusively represented by isolated lateral denticles of their saw-like rostra or less commonly (Pristiophorus) also by tiny oral teeth. We studied a large collection of fossil pristiophorid rostral denticles and oral teeth obtained from numerous localities exposing marine deposits of Rupelian to Tortonian age (Lower Oligocene to Upper Miocene) in the North Alpine Foreland Basin, North Sea Basin, Northeastern Atlantic and Central/northern Mediterranean Sea. In order to interprete the perceptible differences in tooth and denticle morphology of the fossil material, we conducted a parallel study on oral dentitions and rostral denticles in extant taxa of the Pristiophoridae. Representative samples of upper/lower oral teeth and of lateral/ventral rostral denticles are illustrated to document the heterodonty of teeth and characteristic features of denticles. In all species a gradient monognathic heterodonty is conspicuous. A dignathic heterodonty, typical of Pristiophorus spp., is mainly constituted by teeth in anteriormost files of the lower jaw that are larger and more strongly cambered labially than corresponding teeth in the upper dentition. Four new species are described: Pristiophorus borealis sp nov. from the Sülstorf Formation, early to middle Chattian, Mecklenburg, northeastern Germany.…

Description de la boutique

Founded in 1985 we are specialized in worldwide literature on Mollusca and marine invertebrates. Our publishing house has meanwhile published approximately 60 titles on that field of interest. We have stocks of most available international books on Malacology and a huge amount of antiquarian literature, even of the latter most titles are only available once.
