A New Chondrichthyan Fauna from the Zhuganpo Member of the Falang Formation at Nimaigu Section, Guizhou Province, South China

论文摘要

The Middle-Late Triassic succession of the Nimaigu Section(Wusha area, Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, South China) has yielded two exceptionally well-preserved marine vertebrate faunas, i.e.the Middle-Late Ladinian Xingyi Fauna and the overlying younger Carnian Guanling Biota, of which the former shows turnover of marine reptiles from coastal to oceanic environments.Herein, we report a newly discovered chondrichthyan fauna strata intermediate between the above mentioned vertebrate faunas.This chondrichthyan assemblage consists of one new genus of ‘pre-Jurassic Synechodus’(neoselachian), one new genus closed to Omanoselache(hybodont shark), Aff.Arctacanthus(chimaeroids?), and some shark genera showing Palaeozoic affinities.The new genus of ‘pre-Jurassic Synechodus’ possesses a double-layered enameloid made of Single Crystallite Enameloid(SCE) and Parallel-Bundled Enameloid(PBE) and represents the first definitive record of a neoselachian shark from the Chinese Mesozoic so far.Another species is similar to Acrodus aff.spitzbergensis that was previously recorded from the Triassic of Japan, and which is certainly related to Omanoselache.The classification of Arctacanthus is still problematic because of its peculiar morphology.Several teeth display intermediate lateral cusplets, a basolabial depression and labial accessory cusplets, which would suggest affinities with Palaeozoic genera although this needs further investigation.
