Abstract
Con motivo del Trabajo de Fin de Máster en Paleontología Avanzada, se ha hecho un estudio paleontológico de las muestras que se encontraban en la Colección de Macrofósiles Problemáticos del Museo Geominero del Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, en Madrid. Se ha hecho una revisión sistemática del material que inicialmente estaba clasificado y catalogado como Vendotaenidae gen. indet., Vendotaenia sp., Nemiana sp., Chuaria circularis, Beltanelloides cf. sorichevae y Beltanelliformis. Se ha podido observar que estos cuatro grupos iniciales (“vendoténidos”, Nemiana, Chuaria y Beltanelloides) se reducen a dos (vendoteniáceos y Beltanelliformis), debido a que se han considerado como sinónimos Nemiana simplex, Beltanelloides sorichevae y Beltanelliformis brunsae bajo la denominación de esta última especie. Además, se ha considerado como errónea la clasificación de una de las muestras como Chuaria circularis. Tras el estudio en el museo se ha hecho un control de los cambios realizados: reclasificaciones, identificación de contraplacas y resiglado, inclusión de fotografías oficiales en los informes de la Base de Datos, etc. Además, se discuten las posibles afinidades biológicas de los vendoteniáceos como las algas macroscópicas pluricelulares más antiguas conocidas y de Beltanelliformis como posibles cianobacterias coloniales. Asimismo, se analiza el estado de la cuestión referente a la posición del límite Neoproterozoico-Cámbrico en la Zona Centroibérica (de donde provienen la mayor parte de las muestras de la Colección) lo, que actualmente, aún sigue en estudio.
A paleontological study of the samples that were in the Collection of Problematic Macrofossils of the Museo Geominero of the Instituto Geológico y Minero de España in Madrid has been made on the occasion of the Trabajo de Fin de Máster in Paleontología Avanzada. A systematic review of the material has been made. It was initially classified and catalogued as Vendotaenidae gen. indet., Vendotaenia sp., Nemiana sp., Chuaria circularis, Beltanelloides cf. sorichevae and Beltanelliformis. It has been observed that these four initial groups (“vendotaenids”, Nemiana, Chuaria and Beltanelloides) are reduced to two (the family Vendoteniaceae and the genus Beltanelliformis), due to the fact that Nemiana simplex, Beltanelloides sorichevae and Beltanelliformis brunsae have been considered as synonyms under the name of this last species. Furthermore, the classification of one of the samples as Chuaria circularis has been considered erroneous. After the study in the museum, a control of the changes has been made: reclassifications, identification of counter plates and resignation, inclusion of official photographs in the Database reports, etc. The possible vendotaeniacean biological affinities as the oldest known macroscopic multicellular algae are also discussed, as well as Beltanelliformis as a possible colonial cyanobacteria. Likewise, the state of the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian boundary position in the Central Iberian Zone (where most of the samples in the Collection come from), currently a debate, is analysed.
