INTRODUCTION Paleontology studies the organic world of the past. Such a good name “paleontology” (Greek palaios – ancient; on, ontos – being; logos – concept, teaching), which well reflects the essence of the science of ancient creatures, was proposed in 1822 by the French zoologist H. M. D. de Blainville (1777-1850). Soon, in 1834, Professor G. I. Fischer von Waldheim of Moscow University adopted this term, although he had previously used the name “petromatognosia”. Moreover, he not only began to use the term “paleontology” himself, but also contributed in every possible way to its introduction into scientific and educational literature. Therefore, G. I. Fischer, along with H. M. D. de Blainville, is considered the author of the term “paleontology”. The primary and most important task of research is to establish the normal sequence and relationships of rock masses composing this area. The change of complexes of fossil animals and plants observed in the sedimentary strata is due to the change in time of the environmental conditions and the irreversible evolution of the organic world. The last factor determines the significance of organic remains for stratigraphy. The rate of evolutionary changes of organisms is different, they react differently to changes in external conditions, and therefore their remains in continuous sections occupy unequal intervals. The limitation of the vertical distribution of remains in the section is one of the mandatory requirements for guide fossils. It is also important that these fossils have a wide geographical distribution, are often found in rocks and are fairly well preserved. Paleontological material allows to draw stratigraphic boundaries in sections in various ways. One can be guided by the appearance of new forms, the disappearance of old ones and the flourishing of organisms, as indicated by the abundance of their remains in sediments. In all cases, it should be borne in mind that these stages of development usually do not coincide in different groups.
Introduction The remains of rapidly evolved organisms are the most important for dismemberment, and of particular value are those that form clear phylogenetic series (i. e., series of related forms that successively replace each other in time). Most of the fossils of organisms of past geological epochs are determined macroscopically. To clarify the details of the structure of the skeleton, incisions, grinding, prints are made. The value of fossils is determined not only by their prevalence in time and space, but also by the peculiarity of their association with specific types of rocks and the pace of their evolution. Groups of fossil organisms make it possible to carry out a detailed dismemberment of sections and carry out their detailed correlation. The data are used in the research complex. In certain regions, these organisms are of crucial importance for stratigraphy, as they are guide forms and allow paleogeographic reconstructions of sedimentation environments, as they are good indicators of the environment. We are deeply grateful to all the researchers whose works were used when writing the study guide: A. S. Byakov, O. B. Bon- darenko, V. V. Drushchits, N. V. Beznosov, I. I. Akimushkin, I. A. Mikhailova and many others. Control questions and test tasks are compiled taking into account the specific features of the structure of geological polygons and include questions covering the main sections of geological knowledge.
1. TYPES OF PRESERVATION OF FOSSIL ORGANISMS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE In paleontological studies, special attention is paid to the types of preservation of fossil organisms, which depend both on the composition of the skeleton and on the specifics of the process of petrifaction or fossilization. The death and subsequent burial of organisms is accompanied by the influence of various environmental factors. They undergo all the processes of diagenesis, i.e. physical and chemical transformations during the transition of sediment into the rock in which they are enclosed. After the death of the organism, soft tissues are destroyed in the first turn, then the filling of the voids of the skeleton with enclosing sediment or mineral compounds begins. Sometimes the cavities of the skeleton undergo pyritization, ferruginization, druses and brushes of calcite, amethyst, fluorite, galena, etc. often appear in them. Fossil skeletons are often found enclosed in phosphorite concretions. During fossilization, the skeletons undergo recrystallization, leading to more stable mineral modifications. For example, aragonite shells are transformed into calcite ones. There are frequent cases of mineralization, when the primary chemical composition of the skeleton changes (pseudomorphoses). Thus, calcareous shells are partially or completely replaced by aqueous silica and vice versa. Phosphatization, pyritization and ferruginization of mineral and organic skeletons are also observed. Plants during fossilization are usually completely destroyed, which is facilitated by the processes of decay and fermentation. Nevertheless, fossil plants have been found since the Precambrian. Most often, charred remains of leaves are preserved from plants. Plant tissues, during fossilization, are often replaced by various mineral compounds, most often silica, carbonate and pyrite. Depending on the completeness of preservation and distinctness of the remains, the following categories of fossils are
1. Types of preservation of fossil organisms and their significance distinguished: subfossils, eufossils, ichnofossils, coprofossils, chemofossils (Bondarenko, Mikhailova, etc.). Subfossils (lat. sub – under, almost) are represented by fossils (almost fossils), which have preserved not only the skeleton, but also slightly modified soft tissues. For Plant remains, the term “phytoleums” is used (Greek: phyton – plant; leimma – residue). These are plant remains modified to varying degrees, preserving the cellular structure. The subfossils include phytoleims from quaternary sediments – seeds, nuts, coniferous cones, wood buried in peat bogs. More modified phytoleums are eufossils. The unique finds of some animals of this time, such as mammoths, rhinoceroses and birds, also belong to the subfossils. Preservatives for such fossils are permafrost, various bitumen, volcanic ash, aeolian sands. It was believed that amber is also an excellent preservative, but soft tissues are not preserved in amber. At the same time, the fossils in amber (both plants and animals) completely retain their shape, which makes it possible to carefully study their external morphology. But an attempt to extract the object ends up with all the contents crumbling into dust. Subfossils are much less common in sediments older than Quaternary. Eufossilia, or euphossilia (Greek: ei – well, real) are represented by whole skeletons or fragments of skeletons and their discrete elements, as well as prints and cores. Skeletons are the main objects of paleontological research. Skeletal remains have a mineral or organic composition. These are shells and skeletons of animals, shells of bacteria and fungi, as well as organic remains of leaves, seeds, fruits, spores and pollen. Special mention should be made of phytoleims, represented to varying degrees by charred remains of leaves, wood, seeds, fruits, spores and pollen. Sometimes the term “organic-walled microfossils” is used, which include the shells of bacteria and fungi, filamentous cyanobionts, as well as spores and pollen. The sizes of such fossils are less than 100 microns. Organic-walled microfossils can have very good preservation even in Precambrian sediments
1. Types of preservation of fossil organisms and their significance (see Fig. 250). The term “organic-walled” can also be extended to macrofossils. Many eufossils retain information not only about the soft parts of the body and its functional systems, such as circulatory, reproductive, conducting bundles of plants, etc., but also about lifestyle and biogeochemical processes. Ichnofossils (Greek: ichnos – trace) are represented by traces of the vital activity of fossil organisms. Most often they are preserved in the form of prints, less often in the form of low- volume formations. Ichnofossils include traces of crawling and burying of arthropods, worms, bivalves; traces of eating, mink, passages and traces of drilling of sponges, bivalves, arthropods; traces of movement of vertebrates. Coprophossilia (Greek: kopros – droppings, manure) consist of waste products of fossil organisms. They have a voluminous character, being preserved in the form of rollers, nodules, mounds, columns and even formation bodies. The term “coprophossilia” was proposed in 1989 in the textbook “General Paleontology”. It is based on the name “coprolites”, introduced into the scientific literature over 150 years ago and denoting “petrified animal excrement” (Paleontological Dictionary, 1965). The most typical coprofossils include the final products of digestion of mud-eaters and vertebrates; in the second group of coprophossilia, undigested remains of other animals and plants can be preserved. The coprophossils of the mud-eaters are represented by rollers and ribbons, which, at first glance, do not seem to differ from the surrounding stones. But after passing through the intestines of the mud-eater, the sediment is enriched with calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. As a result, the coprophossils of the mud-eaters acquire a lighter or, conversely, a darker, often reddish hue, which distinguishes them from the surrounding stones. The process of sludge processing by mud-eaters and biofilters is called bioturbation. Most sedimentary deposits of the present and the past undergo bioturbation. The end products of bioturbation and traces of vital activity are sometimes called bioglyphs.
1. Types of preservation of fossil organisms and their significance Chemofossils (Greek: chemie – chemistry) include organic fossil biomolecules of bacterial, cyanobiont, plant and animal origin. Chemofossils store the chemical composition of biomolecules, which allows to determine the systematic position of the original organism, but not its morphology. The study of the chemical and taxonomic diversity of сhemofossils is closely related to the problems of the origin and development of life, as well as the origin of fossil fuels, especially oil. The biological factor in the formation of oil has long been denied, considering it only chemogenic. Advances in the study of chemophossilia prove the opposite. Chemophossils are the object of study of biochemistry and molecular paleontology. Sometimes fossils form pseudofossils (Greek: pseudos – lies). False forms that are not peculiar to the mineral substance. Pseudofossils, or false fossils, owe their origin to various mechanical, physical and chemical processes that affected sedimentary rock during its formation, diagenesis or weathering. In the latter case, harder mineral formations stand out sharply against the background of soft rock. Pseudofossils are mainly associated with concretions (Latin concreto – concentration; the process consisting in the fact that mineral solutions, when deposited, form irregular lenticular, spherical or nodular aggregates), infiltration (infiltration of dissolved substances and cementation of rocks by them) and with the influence of weathering processes. Geologists and paleontologists quite often have to deal with objects whose systematic affiliation to a particular group of organisms is unclear and, moreover, it is not even always provable at all that they belong to the remains of organisms. All such remains are called problematic. There are, however, several different understandings of this term. Most paleontologists understand by problems any remains of organisms for which it is impossible to indicate the exact belonging to a particular class or even type.These may be single, completely incomprehensible forms, sometimes parts of the skeleton that do not give a complete picture of the whole skeleton; individual genus,
