Braquiópodos devónicos de la Cordillera Cantábrica (Norte de España). 12) Ferronirhynchia nuevo género de rinconélido (Trigonirhynchiidae) del Emsien…
2021
The taxonomic status of the subfamily Trigonirhynchiinae is discussed based on the morphological features, together with the geographic and the stratigraphic distribution of the type genus Trigonirhynchia Cooper. The new genus, Ferronirhynchia n. gen., including the type species F. pulgari n. sp., is proposed. The new taxon, close to Trigonirhynchia , occurs in upper Emsian beds of the Moniello Formation, in Asturias, serotinus/patulus conodont zones, Faunal Intervals 14 to 16a. The ontogeny and palaeoecology of F. pulgari are analyzed. Growth of the new species is bicyclic. Juvenile forms are low and biconvex displaying sharp commissures. Adult forms are high, dorsi-biconvex, ge…
Revisión de Douvillininae (Brachiopoda) de la Zona Centroibérica Meridional (Devónico Superior, España)
2021
La subfamilia Douvillininae en el Frasniense de la Zona Centroibérica meridional está representada por el género Douvillina, al que se atribuyen tres especies: Douvillina alvarezi, D. delta y D. radiata. Se propone enmendar la diagnosis del genero Douvillina que aparece en la edición revisada del Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Part H, Brachiopoda), en el sentido de admitir mayor variabilidad en la convexidad de las valvas. Se discute la atribución de D. alvarezi al género así enmendado y se incorporan a la especie ejemplares estratigráficamente más jóvenes que los del material típico.
Caracterización electroquímica del proceso de degradación de materiales piritosos en colecciones geológicas y paleontológicas: propuestas de tratamie…
2020
Este trabajo analiza los problemas de conservación y tratamiento de ejemplares paleontológicos y geológicos en los museos centrándonos en ejemplares piritizados, destacando los principales factores que afectan la preservación de este tipo de colecciones. Se ha realizado una intervención en ejemplares paleontológicos y geológicos en la cual han sido tratados para su adecuada conservación. Para caracterizar el proceso de degradación se ha realizado un estudio electroquímico sobre diversos ejemplares conservados en pirita y, de este modo, poder identificar estadios de la degradación presente de los ejemplares (producida en el curso del almacenamiento y conservación). La identificación de estos…
Estratigrafía y paleontología del yacimiento QUIN-18 (Formación Valmayor, Frasniense, sinclinal de Almaden, España)
2021
n el núcleo del Sinclinal de Almadén (Ciudad Real, España) aflora una potente sucesión vulcano-sedimentaria (Complejo Vulcano-Sedimentario de Chillón), que se apoya sobre una sucesi6n esencialmente limo-pelÍtica (Fm. Yalmayor), ambas frasnienses, en el techo de esta ultima se encontr6 el yacimiento QUIN- I 8, especialmente rico en braquiópodos y ostrácodos fósiles. La edad indicada por estos correspondería a la parte alta de la Zona de Mesotaxis asymmetricus Media hasta la Zona de M. asymmetricus Superior (parte alta de la Zona de Palmatolepis punctata a la Zona de P. hassi Inferior, en la zonación estandar de conodontos).
 Los ostrácodos pertenecen al llamado ecotipo (ökotyp) eifélico…
Miocene lithological, foraminiferal and palynological data from the Belverde borehole (Portugal)
2021
XVIII Jornadas de Paleontología, 2002 Preliminary data on litho stratigraphy and biostratigraphy of the Belverde borehole (http://www. dct.Jct.unl.pt/ SondagemISondagem/colunalindex_col.html) is presented. The borehole attained 619,77 m of depth, crossing 130 m of Plio-Pleistocene and 460 m of Miocene dep osits. Main lithologies are fine sands , marl s and biocalcarenites. A coral reef was recognized in the lower part of the borehole (530-585 m). Gamma ray, neutrons and sonic diagraphies were obtained. Eight 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ages (H. Elderfield, Cambridge University)and the presence of some of the main planktonic foraminifera markers were used to establish the chronostratigraphic framewor…
Quantification of the heterogeneity of prognostic cellular biomarkers in ewing sarcoma using automated image and random survival forest analysis
2014
Driven by genomic somatic variation, tumour tissues are typically heterogeneous, yet unbiased quantitative methods are rarely used to analyse heterogeneity at the protein level. Motivated by this problem, we developed automated image segmentation of images of multiple biomarkers in Ewing sarcoma to generate distributions of biomarkers between and within tumour cells. We further integrate high dimensional data with patient clinical outcomes utilising random survival forest (RSF) machine learning. Using material from cohorts of genetically diagnosed Ewing sarcoma with EWSR1 chromosomal translocations, confocal images of tissue microarrays were segmented with level sets and watershed algorithm…
TAXONOMY AND AFFINITIES OF AFRICAN CENOZOIC METATHERIANS
2021
The record of extinct African metatherians (Mammalia, Theria) is scanty, restricted in time (Eocene–Miocene), and its taxonomy is still subject of debate. A review of all African metatherians, or alleged metatherians, known up to now, led us to the recognition of only three taxa referable to this group: (1) Kasserinotherium tunisiense (Peradectoidea?), from the early Eocene of Tunisia; (2) Peratherium africanum (Herpetotheriidae), from the early Oligocene of Egypt and Oman, and (3) an indeterminate Herpetotheriidae? from the early Miocene of Uganda. Herpetotheriids probably reached Afro-Arabia from Europe in one or more dispersal waves since the early Oligocene. Kasserinotherium , on t…
Managing palaeontological heritage: a brief overview of policy and practice in England
2019
Fossil collecting for scientific and educational reasons, as well as to support natural curiosity, has taken place in England since at least the late eighteenth century. It was not, however, until the late nineteenth, and particularly the mid-twentieth century, that site-based conservation of palaeontological heritage, and the management of collecting, was established. This paper provides a brief overview of the development of the policy and practice of palaeontological heritage management in England. It includes an outline of the establishment of national legislation, and a summary of the practical approaches to managing palaeontological sites and the collection of fossils that have been a…
Productidinid brachiopods (Strophomenata, Productida), including Martinezchaconia luisae, new genus and new species of Linoproductidae, from the Carb…
2018
We describe three brachiopod species of the Suborder Productidina from the Ixtaltepec Formation, Carboniferous of the north of Oaxaca State, southern Mexico, found in peri-reef deposits. Stegacanthia bowsheri and Undaria sp. are members of the families Sentosiidae and Monticuliferidae respectively and were found in strata of the Visean (Middle Mississippian). Martinezchaconia luisae, new genus and species of the Family Linoproductidae, was recollected in Bashkirian-Moscovian (Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian) strata. The respective ages are inferred from the index species of brachiopods associated with the productidines herein described.
Quantum moment maps and invariants for G-invariant star products
2002
We study a quantum moment map and propose an invariant for $G$-invariant star products on a $G$-transitive symplectic manifold. We start by describing a new method to construct a quantum moment map for $G$-invariant star products of Fedosov type. We use it to obtain an invariant that is invariant under $G$-equivalence. In the last section we give two simple examples of such invariants, which involve non-classical terms and provide new insights into the classification of $G$-invariant star products.
