河北秦皇岛黑山窑组南票叶属(Nanpiaophyllum)植物化石新发现

    New Discovery of Nanpiaophyllum fossils from the Heishanyao Formation in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province

    • 摘要: 黑山窑组见于华北地台柳江盆地,为一套湖泊相沉积岩系,其地层时代存在晚三叠世和早侏罗世两种观点. 本研究在河北省秦皇岛市石门寨镇黑山窑村及周边地区采集到数块较为特殊的植物化石,形态特征与1984年张武和郑少林在辽西金岭寺-羊山盆地晚三叠世老虎沟组中发表的南票叶(Nanpiaophyllum)基本一致. 该化石分类位置不明,目前在世界范围内仅在黑山窑组和老虎沟组有发现. 在对其进行形态分析并与现生植物做对比后,确定其为水生植物. 结合植物化石组合特征研究,认为黑山窑植物群形成于温带气候下湿润的湖泊-沼泽环境,具季节性变化,是一个以北方型为主体、伴生一些南方型分子的混生植物群. Nanpiaophyllum在河北地区的再发现支持了黑山窑组归属于晚三叠世的观点,丰富了该地区地史时期植物多样性记录,不仅为南票叶的生态型研究提供了新素材,也为古地理重建和古环境恢复提供了重要依据.

       

      Abstract: The Heishanyao Formation in the Liujiang Basin of the North China Platform is a lacustrine sedimentary sequence, but its geological age remains controversial, with two prevailing interpretations:Late Triassic or Early Jurassic. In this study, several unusual plant fossils were collected from Heishanyao Village and its surrounding areas in Shimenzhai Town, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. Their morphology is largely consistent with that of Nanpiaophyllum, a genus originally described by Zhang et Zheng (1984) from the Late Triassic Laohugou Formation in the Jinlingsi-Yangshan Basin of western Liaoning Province. The taxonomic affinity of this genus remains uncertain, yet globally this genus has so far been reported only from the Heishanyao and Laohugou formations. Morphological analysis and comparison with extant plants indicate that Nanpiaophyllum was aquatic. Considering the overall composition of the fossil plant assemblage, the Heishanyao Flora is interpreted as having grown in a humid lacustrine-swamp environment under a temperate climate with seasonal variations. This flora is a mixed assemblage dominated by northern-type elements but also including some southern-type components. The rediscovery of Nanpiaophyllum in Hebei Province supports a Late Triassic age for the Heishanyao Formation, enriches the local fossil record of plant diversity, provides new material for studying the ecotype of Nanpiaophyllum, and offers significant evidence for paleogeographic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
