Sedgwick began at the bottom of the section and Murchison at the top. Sedgwick named his sequence of rocks the Cambrian and Murchison applied the name Silurian to the generally more fossiliferous upper formations. Eventually their sections overlapped, each claiming some of the same rocks for their systems, in what became a widespread and lengthy controversy until, forty four years later, Charles Lapworth introduced the name Ordovician for the disputed sequence. Murchison proposed the name Silurian in 1835, with a type section in western Wales defined both by lithology and fossils.

Peripatus Home Page Paleontology Page Updated: 10 Jan 2004 Ordovician Period Abstract Keywords: Ordovician, Ordovician biota, Cambrian-Ordovician boundary, Ordovician-Silurian boundary, Soom Shale, trilobites, eurypterids, graptolites Introduction The Ordovician Period is the second period of the Paleozoic Era. This period saw the origin and rapid evolution of many new types of invertebrate animals which replaced their Cambrian predecessors. "About 500 million years ago, in the Ordovician period, life forms diversified dramatically and gave rise to many of the marine forms familiar today. The fossil record of this period is amazingly intact in the Great Basin of California, Utah and Nevada and affords an almost unprecedented opportunity to learn about the conditions that favor innovation in biodiversity. The story told by that record, report the authors, runs contrary to the common wisdom. The record tells of the kind of large-scale climatic and ecological changes that have traditionally been linked to extinctions, not radiations. Yet, the record clearly shows that no major extinctions preceded the Ordovician radiation. They therefore conclude that global changes are just as likely to promote as diminish global biodiversity" (Droser et al.

ARCHAEOPTERYX: The Bird That Rocked the World Continued from page 1 A German Treasure Comes To America Six more specimens of Archaeopteryx were found in 1876, 1951, 1956, 1970, 1987 and 1992 - all in the Solnhofen limestone quarries of Germany. The seventh and most recent find will be exhibited at The Field Museum. "When you start giving a fossil numbers, you know how rare it is," says John Flynn, chairman of the Museum's geology department. "Only three of the Archaeopteryx have individual feathers clearly preserved in the stone; the specimen coming to Chicago is one of them." None of the fossils has ever been exhibited outside of Europe. Flynn says the exhibit was made possible through close working relationships between Field Museum curators and their German colleagues. "The international collaborations we have are incredibly strong," says Flynn. "Science tends to transcend political boundaries." Peter Wellnhofer, an expert on Archaeopteryx and pterosaurs (flying reptiles) and curator for the State Museum of Paleontology and Historical Geology in Bavaria, will accompany the Archaeopteryx fossil on its journey to America. he will be in Chicago for the duration of the exhibit and will give a public talk about the prehistoric bird at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 18 at The Field Museum.

Fossil Reefs, Flood Geology, and Recent Creation Last edited: In his article Fossil Reefs and Time (1995), Young-Earther and biologist Ariel Roth argues that there are " alternative interpretations " of fossil reefs " that do not require long ages ," i.e. do not require the planet earth to be older than about 10,000 years. Roth offers three options for interpreting putative fossil reefs within the context of a young-earth flood geology framework. First, particular fossil reefs may not be reefs or bioaccretionary structures at all, but rather current-formed buildups of transported debris ('allochthonous reefs'). For instance, Roth suggests that the Capitan reef complex and the structures referred to as 'mud-mounds' (Monty et al., 1995) may be interpreted as allochthonous sedimentary structures formed during the flood. Second, particular fossil reefs may in fact be genuine 'autochthonous reefs,' formed by slow biological activity, that have been transported from the site of growth and are therefore allochthonous with respect to the underlying stratum. A third option suggests that some reefs are autochthonous accumulations and in place with respect to the underlying rock, and formed during the period between the creation and the flood. This could only apply to fossil reefs overlying a Precambrian substrate, and requires reef accretion rates more than 10 times faster than those of the fastest-growing modern reefs. The Devonian reef complex of the Canning basin, west Australia is considered a possible preflood reef, for example. These three interpretations are considered for the cases of the Capitan reef, carbonate mud mounds, and the Devonian reef complex of the Canning basin.

Complete specimen, measuring 4.5 cm in length Fossils are the remains of prehistoric animal and plant and micro-organisms, as well as traces, tracks, impressions, etc they may have left. Only a tiny proportion of all the organisms that ever lived became fossils, and even then mostly those with hard shells, bones etc that lived in conditions favourable for preservation. So our understanding of life in past ages is very uneven. The nature of what fossils are was naturally a mystery to a civilization such as the Judaeo-Christian West which considered the entire Earth and all Creation to be no more than 5 or 6 thousand years old. Since the 16th century or so, scholars had engaged in a bitter controversy over the origin of fossils. One group held the modern view that fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals. The other considered that fossils were either freaks of nature or creations of the devil. During the 18th century, the theory became popular that all fossils were relics of the great flood recorded in the Bible (in the 1960s or so this idea was revived by Young Earth Creationists ). It was only around the beginning of the 19th century, when the basic principles of modern geology were established, that a better understand of fossils was possible. And it was not until

39. Significance Of Reef Limestones As Oil And Gas Reservoirs In The Middle East And Framework builders of ancient reefs have often been quite Reef limestone reservoirsgenerally have good porosity Stratigraphy and paleontology of Dhofar, Oman http://perso.wanadoo.fr/brcgranier/gmeop/Edgell_2001.htm

WARNING! This page takes a little time to load! S ignificance of reef limestones as oil and gas reservoirs in the Middle East and North Africa by H. Stewart Edgell The oil reservoirs of the Middle East and North Africa contain some 70% of the world's known oil reserves and about 50% of the world's natural gas reserves. Most of these are contained in high-energy carbonate platform sediments, or in fractured limestones of large, doubly plunging anticlines. A considerable proportion of oil and gas reserves of the region also occur in Cretaceous sandstones of similar structures. Oil exploration in the vast sedimentary basins of the Middle East and North Africa is still primarily at the stage of drilling simply folded surface, or seismically defined structures. It has not yet reached the stage of exploration for stratigraphic traps and reefs. Nevertheless, a significant number of reef and fore reef limestone reservoirs have been found by drilling, and a very few have been recognized in seismic profiles. Limestone reservoirs in fringing reef, barrier reef, fore reef and back reef shoal facies can be recognized in parts of the region, as well as open shoal reefs. Reef walls are rare in the subsurface of the area, either because they are too narrow or because they have been eroded. There are no known atoll-type fringing reefs and isolated reef bioherm reservoirs in Libya are best compared to buried platform reefs, or reef knolls.
