A new antiarch placoderm from the Emsian (Early Devonian) of Wuding,Yunnan, China

Pan, Z., Zhu, M., Zhu, Y. &; Jia, L., August 2017. A new antiarch placoderm from the Emsian (Early Devonian) of Wuding, Yunnan, China. Alcheringa 42, 10–21. ISSN 0311-5518.

Wufengshania magniforaminis, a new genus and species of the Euantiarcha (Placodermi: Antiarcha), is described from the late Emsian (Early Devonian) of Wuding, Yunnan, southwestern China. The referred specimens were three-dimensionally preserved in black shales, allowing a high-resolution computed tomography reconstruction of anatomical details. The new euantiarch is characterized by a large orbital fenestra, an arched exoskeletal band around the orbital fenestra and a developed obtected nuchal area of the skull roof. Maximum parsimony analysis, using a revised data-set of antiarchs with 44 taxa and 66 characters, resolves Wufengshania gen. nov. as a member of the Bothriolepididae, which is characterized by the presence of the infraorbital sensory canal diverging on the lateral plate, and the nuchal plate with orbital facets. New analysis supports a sister group relationship between Dianolepis and the Bothriolepididae. Luquanolepis, a coeval euantiarch from the neighboring site of the new form, is referred to the Asterolepidoidei and represents the basalmost and earliest member of the Asterolepidoidei.

从《申报》看苏州的私钱与禁私（1827-1877）

清代实行银钱平行本位,大数用银,小数用钱。制钱是民间主要的流通货币,银两只不过是国家财政和大宗贸易的计算出纳单位以及富裕人家的储藏手段。在清朝统治者入关前,就曾铸有“天命”、“天聪”两种铜钱,自顺治进关,到辛亥革命,前后历经十代皇帝,铸有十种年号钱。康熙、乾隆时代的铜钱质量、重量都很规范。     

史前先民的头饰习俗

依据考古发掘和文献资料,认为史前先民对头部的装饰手法多种多样,这在一定程度上反映了早期人类审美意识及淳朴的原始宗教信仰的多样化,同时也说明了古人对美的追求并非有了丰厚的物质条件才萌生的。

博物馆展览中考古文物的阐释模式

博物馆展览从器物描述、文物解读到主题阐释的发展和转变,是考古学与博物馆学学科发展的成果.而阐释理念的发展并不是“淘汰”或“取代”,描述、解读和主题阐释并不相互排斥.在具体的策展实践中,根据展览主题和展品类型,综合应用阐释手段,合理处理各个阐释层次之间的主次关系,以更有效地传递知识、信息,才是展览成功的关键所在.同时,博...
