Abstract
The present study is a report of fossil terrestrial and freshwater gastropods from a new outcrop exposed in the 1990s in Heuchlingen (Baden-Württemberg, SW Germany). The fossils occur in the Silvana Beds of the Upper Freshwater Molasse (OSM), dating from the Early/Middle Miocene (European Land Mammal Zone MN 5). Thirty gastropod species (6 aquatic and the remainder terrestrial) were found, belonging to the families Pomatiidae, Lymnaeidae, Planorbidae, Ellobiidae, Succineidae, Cochlicopidae, Chondrinidae, Vertiginidae, Gastrocoptidae, Clausiliidae, Ferussaciidae, Subulinidae, Discidae, Zonitidae, Agriolimacidae, Helicidae, Helicodontidae, Hygromiidae, and Trissexodontidae. These fossils are used as paleoecological proxies in an actualistic genus-level analysis to present a first attempt at an environmental reconstruction of the Heuchlingen locality. The gastropod fauna points to a paleoenvironment consisting of a shallow lake (or a shallow margin of a larger lake) surrounded by humid forests and scrublands. Literature records from Heuchlingen and the nearby locality Dettingen am Albuch, as well as the surviving voucher material, are also reviewed.
本研究报告了20世纪90年代在德国西南部巴登-符腾堡州Heuchlingen (baden - w - rttemberg)新露头的陆生和淡水腹足类化石。发现的腹足类动物有30种(6种水生,其余为陆生),隶属于Pomatiidae科、lynaeidae科、Planorbidae科、Ellobiidae科、Succineidae科、Cochlicopidae科、Chondrinidae科、Vertiginidae科、Gastrocoptidae、clausilidae、Ferussaciidae、Subulinidae、disciciae、Zonitidae、Agriolimacidae、Helicidae、Helicodontidae、Hygromiidae科。和Trissexodontidae。这些化石被用作古生态学的代用物,在实际的属水平分析中,首次尝试对Heuchlingen地区进行环境重建。腹足动物群指向一个由湿润的森林和灌木丛包围的浅湖(或较大湖泊的浅边缘)组成的古环境。文献记录从Heuchlingen和附近的地方Dettingen am Albuch,以及现存的凭证材料,也进行了审查。
期刊介绍:
Archiv für Molluskenkunde (ISSN 1869-0963, e-ISSN 2367-0622); Up to and including Vol. 138/2 papers were published under the ISSN 0003-9284.
rchiv für Molluskenkunde is an international, peer-reviewed journal on all aspects of molluscan biodiversity. It preferably publishes original research papers of high quality on systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny and morphology of all groups of molluscs, both recent and fossil from the Cenozoic. Contributions of broad international interest on other aspects of malacology such as ecology and biogeography are welcome as well. Papers on physiology, parasitology, regional faunistics or those on non-Cenozoic fossils or pure biostratigraphy should be submitted elsewhere.
