Ammonoids from the Zhuganpo Member of the Falang Formation at Nimaigu and their relevance for dating the Xingyi Fossil-Lagerstätte (Late Ladinian, Guizhou, China)
We herein document the various ammonoid faunas, of which 8 are newly described taxa, recently collected from the Falang Formation at Nimaigu (Wusha) near Xingyi (Guizhou, South China) and also define their biostratigraphy, correlation and age. The sampled interval includes the Zhuganpo Member, which contains the world famous Xingyi Fossil-Lagerstiitte, and the lowermost part of the overlying Wayao Member. Ammonoids are quite abundant, but preservation is usually very poor. New genera Yangites, Haoceras and Sinomeginoceras are described on the basis of four new species. The new subfamily Haoceratinae (family Trachyceratidae) is erected to accommodate Haoceras and Sinomeginoceras. Xenoprotrachyceras, Detoniceras, Ptychites, Trachyceras and Clionitites are also recognized, together with a specimen attributed with doubt to Parasturia.
Most of the faunas are endemic and typical representatives of Upper Ladinian ammonoid zones have not been recognized. A new local biostratigraphic scale is proposed, consisting of the Haoceras xingyiense zone, Trachyceras beds and Trachyceras multituberculatum zone, in stratigraphic order.
The Trachyceras beds and the Trachyceras multituberculatum zone are attributed to the Lower Carnian, but most of the bio-chronostratigraphic analysis is focused on the Haoceras xingyiense zone, because it directly overlies the vertebrate-bearing interval. Correlation of the new biozone is discussed and its stratigraphic position is referred, at least in part, to the lower Sutherlandi Zone of the North American scale. This correlation pinpoints the age of the Xingyi Fossil-Lagerstiitte as middle Late Ladinian, which until now had been a matter of debate for 30+ years
A new species of the Genus Colobodus Agassiz 1844 (Osteichthyes, Actinopterygii) from the Pelsonian (Anisian, Middle Triassic) of Guizhou (South China)
Eight almost complete medium-large sized (about 33 cm in s.l.) fossil fishes, belonging to the family Colobodontidae, are described from the Pelsonian (Anisian, Middle, Triassic) of South China. Their cranial and postcrainal features fit those of the genus Colobodus Agassiz, 1844 from the western Tethys. However, they are older than the previously known Colobodus species and, furthermore, they come far from the western Tethys, where most colobodontids have been found so far. The significance of our new findings, beyond the election of a new species, lies in the fact that they are the first definite record of Colobodus Outside the western Tethyan faunal province, and represent the oldest unequivocal colobodontids worldwide, as well as suggest that they could have originated in the East rather than in the western Tethys, as previously thought
Detection and visualisation of climate trends in China
Research on climate trends in China has been carried out within a co-operation of the Justus Liebig Universities Department of Geography and Zentrum für internationale Entwicklungs- und Umweltforschung (ZEU) and the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology (CAS). First results were introduced by BECKER et al. 2003 a, b who worked on precipitation trend analyses in the Yangtze River Catchment. In the meanwhile, the National Climatic Centre of China (NCCC) kindly provided climatic data in China within the framework of this co-operation. Financial support from the CAS Key project KZCX3-SW-331 and the NSFC project 40271112 enabled the data acquisition. The analysis of both, precipitation and temperature data for the whole of China from 1951- 2002 can be carried out now. A shorter version of the precipitation trend observation will soon be published in Theoretical and Applied Climatology (GEMMER et al. 2003, accepted for publication/in print). Results of the temperature trend research have not been published yet. They will be submitted to an international Journal when further statistical approaches with regard to daily temperature data are processed. The discussion paper in hand will make the actual results accessible for further research groups in Germany. --
Vergelijking van gemeentelijke verkoopmethodes voor transformaties van voormalige schoolgebouwen naar woningen middels (C)PO
Tijdens dit onderzoek wordt een vergelijking gemaakt tussen gemeentelijke verkoopmethodes die worden gebruik voor het verkopen van voormalige schoolgebouwen als (C)PO-project. Deze schoolgebouwen worden verkocht aan particulieren die deze schoolgebouwen vervolgens transformeren naar woningen. Er wordt een vergelijking gemaakt van zes verkoopmethodes die zijn gebruikt in de gemeentes Rotterdam, Amsterdam en Den Haag. Tijdens deze vergelijking wordt gekeken naar vier variabelen waaruit de verkoopmethodes zijn samengesteld: de toewijzingssystematiek, verkaveling, investeringen en de randvoorwaarden. Hierbij wordt onderzocht wat de redeneringen zijn geweest van de gemeentes om voor deze methode te kiezen. Vervolgens wordt bepaald of deze redeneringen zijn te herleiden tot de doelstellingen die de gemeentes hebben voor deze transformatie-(C)PO-projecten.Management in the Built EnvironmentArchitecture and The Built Environmen
