Docodonts from the British Mesozoic

100%
This paper deals with new docodont teeth from the upper Bathonian of Forest Marble, collected by Prof. K.A. Kermack and his team, and from the basal Cretaceous of the Purbeck Limestone Group, collected by P. Ensom. Study of this materialled to the recognition of three new taxa: Borealestes mussettisp. nov. and Krusatodon kirtlingtonensis gen. et sp. nov. from Forest Marble, Peraiocynodon majorsp. nov. from Purbeck; this makes the Bathonian locality the richest (four species) docodont locality so far known. The possible synonymy of Cyrtlatherium–Simpsonodon (Forest Marble) and of Peraiocynodon–Docodon (Purbeck−Morrison) suggested by several authors is discussed. In conclusion, phyletic relationships between the known docodont genera are proposed, based on lower molars.
Bulk sampling of a number of different marine and marginal marine lithofacies in the British Bathonian has allowed us to assess the palaeoenvironmental distribution of crinoids for the first time. Although remains are largely fragmentary, many species have been identified by comparison with articulated specimens from elsewhere, whilst the large and unbiased sample sizes allowed assessment of relative proportions of different taxa. Results indicate that distribution of crinoids well corresponds to particular facies. Ossicles of Chariocrinus and Balanocrinus dominate in deeper−water and lower−energy facies, with the former extending further into shallower−water facies than the latter. Isocrinus dominates in shallower water carbonate facies, accompanied by rarer comatulids, and was also present in the more marine parts of lagoons. Pentacrinitesremains are abundant in very high−energy oolite shoal lithofacies. The presence of millericrinids within one, partly allochthonous lithofacies suggests the presence of an otherwise unknown hard substrate from which they have been transported. These results are compared to crinoid assemblages from other Mesozoic localities, and it is evident that the same morphological adaptations are present within crinoids from similar lithofacies throughout the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous.
Previously undocumented postcranial material from the Chipping Norton Limestone Formation (Middle Jurassic: Lower Bathonian) of Cross Hands Quarry, near Little Compton, Warwickshire represents a new large−bodied theropod dinosaur, distinct from the contemporaneous Megalosaurus bucklandii. Cruxicheiros newmanorum gen. et sp. nov. is diagnosed by a single autapomorphy, the presence of a proximomedially inclined ridge within the groove that marks the lateral extent of the posterior flange of the femoral caput (trochanteric fossa). C. newmanorum shows three tetanuran features: widely separated cervical zygapophyses, a swollen ridge on the lateral surface of the iliac blade and an anterior spur of the caudal neural spines. However, due to fragmentary preservation its affinities within Tetanurae remain uncertain: phylogenetic analysis places it as the most basal tetanuran, the most basal megalosauroid (= spinosauroid) or the most basal neotetanuran.
Twenty one isolated multituberculate−like teeth are described from the Forest Marble (late Bathonian) of Oxfordshire and Dorset, England. Eighteen are additional to the teeth described as Eleutherodon oxfordensis by Kermack et al. (1998), and three of those are placed in new taxa. Six new molars of Eleutherodon provide further information on variation in size, proportion and root pattern. Millsodon superstes gen. et sp. nov. (family indeterminate), based on first and last lower molars and a referred upper molar, has resemblances to Haramiyidae and Theroteinidae. Kirtlingtonia catenata gen. et sp. nov. (family indeterminate), based on last upper molars and a probable upper premolar, has a slight resemblance to Eleutherodon, and also to M2 of some paulchoffatiid multituberculates. Kermackodon multicuspis gen. et sp. nov. (family Kermackodontidae nov.) and Hahnotherium antiquum gen. et sp. nov. (family Hahnotheriidae nov.) are based on second upper molars, recognised as multituberculate by their horizontal wear and inferred occlusal displacement with respect to m2. A lower molar referred to H. antiquum confirms this. A blade−like lower premolar and an upper premolar with conical cusps, referred to Kermackodon, are multituberculate−like, but distinctive. Divergence between the two Bathonian multituberculates indicates that the order originated much earlier, more probably from a haramiyid than from a morganucodontid source. Mojo is regarded as probably a haramiyid. The Hahnodontidae, which have basined wear, are removed from the Multituberculata to the “Haramiyida”.

New collections of bryozoans from the Middle Jurassic (Late Bajocian and Bathonian) of Poland add significantly to our knowledge of the diversity and biogeography of the Cyclostomata at a time when they were the dominant bryozoan order in the fossil record. A total of 16 species and one form−genus (“Berenicea”) are present. Most are encrusters, predominantly on hiatus concretions. A single erect species was found in deposits interpreted as regurgitates of a marine vertebrate. The following new species are described: Microeciella annae sp. nov., M. kuklinskii sp. nov., M. maleckii sp. nov., M. mokrskoensis sp. nov., M. magnopora sp. nov., Reptomultisparsa harae sp. nov., and Hyporosopora bugajensis sp. nov. The taxonomic importance of the morphology of both the gonozooids and pseudopores is underlined, especially for encrusting species of the “Berenicea” type that are otherwise difficult to distinguish from one another. The described bryozoan assemblage encrusting hiatus concretions from the Polish Middle Jurassic is the richest that has been documented globally from this kind of substrate.
