Oxynoticeras and Cheltonia are registered in the Oxynotum and Raricostatum zones of the Asturian (AB) and Lusitanian (LB) basins. Several authors have claimed the possible dimorphism between them, Oxynoticeras as macroconch and Cheltonia as microconch. In this communication, new evidence and data are given to support this hypothesis.
We argue that the failure of governments and international institutions to address these crises at the appropriate scale gives scientists and scientific institutions a responsibility to be more than mere producers of knowledge. Indeed, doing “science as usual” while warning of the ever growing urgency to act on the climate and ecological crisis ris...
The question of neutrality has particularly animated scientific communities for decades. May we, as scientists, activate only the rational part of our brains when doing science and activate the emotional one when we return to our daily personal and civic life? Should we remain neutral at all costs? When "business as usual" means making the ecologic...
The most continuous Sinemurian stratigraphic succession of the Lusitanian Basin (LB) outcrops in São Pedro de Moel. In this area, ammonoids have been found that have allowed the characterisation from Obtusum Zone (p.p.) up to the Raricostatum Zone.
Keywords: Didactics, Fossils, Palaeontology, Geoeducation, Geotourism, Outreach.
This research is focused on the ammonoids of Oxynotum Zone and Raricostatum Zone (Densinodulum Subzone) from Asturian (Spain) and Lusitanian (Portugal) basins. They come from expanded sections from where 216 specimens have been collected. These have been classified in eight genera and 15 species that belong to families Echioceratidae, Oxynoticerati...
It is necessary to create collective imageries to understand and act on the current global crisis. Since one of the problems is the transfer of the present environmental costs to a future we cannot perceive, it is essential to work on the perception of time ("timefulness": Bjornerud, 2018). The goal of this work is to reflect on the way the geologi...
This study aims to answer the question of whether the students of a master's degree are qualified to organise a leisure-educational activity aimed at high school students and the general public, and assesses whether said activity works as an educational tool for palaeontology outreach. For this, the results obtained from a palaeontology-themed esca...
The Sinemurian gastropod specimens herein studied come from two sources: from museum collections and from samplings in field. The study of the Sinemurian gastropod specimens housed in the collections of the Museu Geológico (Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia), Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (University of Lisbon), Museu da...
The "Comissões Geológicas" of Portugal evolved from 1857 to 1918. Paul Choffat, who specialised in the study of the Mesozoic stratigraphy and palaeontology, was one of its members and an active collaborator. He and his collectors compiled a reference extensive collection of Sinemurian gastropods, mainly collected from the S. Pedro de Moel and Coimb...
The Palaeontological and Archaeological Museum “Ildefonso
Recio Valverde” was recently opened in Totanés (Toledo).
The material included in this museum mostly belonged
to the personal collection of I. Recio, who donated it to
this municipality to contribute to the dissemination of
Palaeontology and Archaeology. Its creation, and the even
more recen...
La divulgación de las ciencias naturales está sujeta a cambios continuos, pues se buscan nuevas formas de hacer más accesible el conocimiento a la sociedad. La geología y la paleontología son disciplinas que poseen unas características muy llamativas para el público, siendo ventanas que permiten ver el pasado, el presente e incluso el futuro de nue...
