Abstract
A well-preserved radiolarian assemblage is described from argillaceous limestone of the Wulalike Formation in the Northwest Ordos Basin, North China. A total of nine species of seven genera are described, including Inanigutta gansuensis, I. quadrispinosa, I. complanata, Inanibigutta pinglianensis, Oriundogutta bella, Triplococcus acanthicus, Haplentactinia juncta, Syntagentactinia pupila n. sp., and Kalimnasphaera maculosa. Three-dimensional X-ray micro-computed tomography is used to make a detailed examination of the new species. This is the first documentation of radiolarian fossils from the Wulalike Formation, which contributes to better understanding of the features of Ordovician radiolarian faunas and facilitate stratigraphic correlation and subdivision in the Ordos Basin.
期刊介绍:
Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to the study of past life and its environment. We encourage submission of original manuscripts on all aspects of palaeontology and stratigraphy, comparisons of regional and global data in time and space, and results generated by interdisciplinary investigations in related fields. Some issues will be devoted entirely to a special theme whereas others will be composed of contributed articles. Palaeoworld is dedicated to serving a broad spectrum of geoscientists and palaeobiologists as well as serving as a resource for students in fields as diverse as palaeobiology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy and phylogeny, geobiology, historical geology, and palaeoenvironment.
Palaeoworld publishes original articles in the following areas:
•Phylogeny and taxonomic studies of all fossil groups
•Biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy
•Palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and global changes throughout Earth history
•Tempo and mode of biological evolution
•Biological events in Earth history (e.g., extinctions, radiations)
•Ecosystem evolution
•Geobiology and molecular palaeobiology
•Palaeontological and stratigraphic methods
•Interdisciplinary studies focusing on fossils and strata
