神农架莲花剖面埃迪卡拉纪晚期宏体碳质压膜化石

埃迪卡拉纪庙河生物群是“雪球地球”崩解后至寒武纪生命大爆发前夕复杂多细胞真核生命演化和辐射的重要实证之一.近年来人们在鄂西地区埃迪卡拉系报道了多个庙河生物群产地,并对其赋存层位(庙河段)的地层对比提出了不同认识.为更好地揭示庙河生物群在不同地区/相区的化石组合面貌,本文在神农架东部地区莲花剖面庙河生物群新化石产地进行了系统古生物学工作.共鉴定宏体化石11属12种,含有以往报道的庙河生物群的典型分子,其优势分子为Cucullus fraudulentus、Baculiphyca taeniata和Grypania spiralis.该宏体化石组合的发现,不仅扩大了庙河生物群的古地理分布范围,也为在不同沉积环境中认识埃迪卡拉纪宏体生物演化提供重要支撑.
The Ediacaran Miaohe biota is one of the key windows on the evolution and radiation of complex multicellular eukaryotes between the Snowball Earth and the Cambrian Explosion. Recently, several localities of the Miaohe biota have been reported in western Hubei Province, sparking different opinions on its stratigraphic position. In order to better reveal characteristics of the Miaohe biota in different regions/facies, we conducted systematic paleontological analysis on a newly discovered fossil site of the Miaohe biota at the Lianhua section in eastern Shennongjia area. A total of 11 genera and 12 species of macrofossils were identified, including typical fossils previously described in the Miaohe biota, with dominant species being Cucullus fraudulentus, Baculiphyca taeniata and Grypania spiralis. The discovery of the new macrofossil assemblage not only expands the paleogeographic distribution of the Miaohe biota, but also provides significant insights into the evolution of Ediacaran macrofossils in different environments.
