Andrea baucon, corso di paleoecologia lezione 1 - la paleoecologia ed i suo...Andrea Baucon
The slides are part of the "Palaeoecology: methods and applications" course taught by Andrea Baucon at the University of Genoa.
OVERVIEW
The activities are aimed at providing practical and theoretical tools to reconstruct the depositional environment based on the paleontological aspects (fossils, ichnofossils) of sedimentary successions. The teaching program follows a paleoecological transect from continental environments to abyssal plains, passing through deserts and coral reefs. For each depositional environment, the characteristic paleoecological properties are discussed, illustrating how to recognize, describe and interpret them.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will acquire the ability to reconstruct the depositional environment based on the paleontological aspects (fossils, icnofossils) of a sedimentary succession.
SYLLABUS / CONTENT
1. PALEOENVIRONMENTAL TOOLS: the paleoecological investigation; taphonomy applied to environmental reconstruction; ichnofacies; ichnofabric; facies analysis; technical-scientific reports;
2. CONTINENTAL ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and paleoenvironments of desert, lake, river, alluvial plain, glacial and volcanoclastic settings;
3. SHALLOW MARINE ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and palaeoenvironments of beach, tidal plain, lagoon, strandplain, chenier plain, rocky coast, shelf, and carbonatic settings;
4. TRANSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and paleoenvironments of estuarine and deltaic settings;
5. DEEP MARINE ENVIRONMENTS: paleoecology and paleoenvironments of slope and abyssal plain settings;
Fieldwork activity: paleoecological analysis of fossil-bearing sedimentary successions
AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will be able to:
• Define the ecological characteristics of a fossil association and their paleoenvironmental implications;
• Recognize, classify and interpret the main ichnofossils present in marine, transitional and continental sedimentary successions;
• Integrate paleontological and sedimentological information;
• Interpret the depositional environment of a sedimentary succession, based on both outcrop and core data;
• Compile summary documents such as technical-scientific reports and graphic representations of paleoenvironments

1. TAFONOMIA Sostanze che compongono gli organismi e fossilizzazione Lezioni del corso di Paleontologia con Esercitazioni A.A. 20108/2011 Prof. Federico Masini
2. Come accennato un organismo è composto di parti molli e parti dure. PARTI MOLLI Proteine , Carboidrati, Grassi ecc. PARTI DURE NON MINERALIZZATE Scleroproteine , Carboidrati PARTI DURE MINERALIZZATE Carbonato di calcio Silice Fosfato
3. La fossilizzazione dipende in larga misura dalla presenza di parti dure nell’organismo Come è ben noto, gran parte del corpo degli organismi è costituito da acqua: in particolare l’acqua contribuisce alla costituzione delle parti molli in proporzioni variabili tra 90 – 98 % a seconda del tessuto e del gruppo sistematico Le proteine, i grassi, i carboidrati delle parti molli non fossilizzano quasi mai come tali, ma si possono trovare in tracce nei fossili (ad esempio gli acidi nucleici)… salvo le dovute eccezioni

6. Parti dure - Chitina La CHITINA è un polisaccaride tipico degli artropodi (Trilobiti, Crostacei, Insetti ecc.) Nei Brachiopodi, Crostacei, Celenterati e Briozoi è spesso associata a biomineralizzazioni in Carbonato di calcio (Calcite) o fosfato di Calcio (Apatite).

8. Scleroproteine COLLAGENE – abbondante nei Cordati e negli Anellidi, si ritrova anche negli Echinodermi, nei Brachiopodi e nei Poriferi. Costituisce la quasi totalità delle parti dure negli Emicordati (Graptoliti, forme paleozoiche completamente estinte) CONCHIOLINA (conchiglie dei Molluschi) CHERATINA (Cordati - unghie, pelo)

11. La struttura della lignina. La lignina conferisce rigidità e resistenza alle pareti delle cellule vegetali
19. Caratteristiche dei carbonati La calcite è meno solubile dell’aragonite, e quindi più favorevole alla fossilizzazione La calcite presenta impurità di Magnesio (Mg) in maggiore o minor misura, si parla quindi di Calcite Alto Magnesiaca (HMC) e Basso Magnesiaca (LMC) di cui la prima è meno stabile della seconda. Gli scheletri carbonatici sono i più diffusi sia nel regno animale che vegetale ed anche fra i protisti
25. SILICE - SiO 2 La biomineralizzazione in silice è molto meno comune di quella carbonatica Scheletri silicei si ritrovano in numerosi Protisti (Diatomee, Silicoflagellati, Radiolari) e nelle spugne. Gli scheletri silicei, con l’eccezione di alcune spugne, sono esili, sottili, di aspetto delicato.
30. FOSFATO DI CALCIO Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 OH ( Idrossiapatite) Più stabile dei carbonati, è tipico dei Cordati (fra cui i Vertebrati), Brachiopodi, Conodontofori ed è talvolta presente nel carapace dei Trilobiti Un cristallo di apatite
