Abstract
Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) radiolarians are described from carbonate concretions found in the black phosphatic facies in strata of the Excello Shale Member of the Fort Scott Limestone (Marmaton Group) in southeastern Kansas (K69 section), USA. Ten new species of radiolarians are described: Albaillella kansaensis, Holdsworthella trifurca, Pseudoalbaillella deformata, Entactinia jayhawkensis, E. heckeli, E. boardmani, Apophysiacus martiali, Moskovistella insolita, Palacantholithus umbrelliformis, and Ormistonella perrara. The Kansas radiolarian assemblage is different from the assemblage described from the Excello Shale of Iowa in the preservation and taxonomic composition. The radiolarians are preserved as pyritized internal molds or regular tests replaced by pyrite, and unidentifiable organic material. The domination of entactinarians and albaillellarians in the Kansas assemblage and their poor to excellent preservation indicate the formation of early diagenetic calcareous concretions in anoxic conditions. The appearance of the spicular radiolarian genus Palacantholithus indicates an influx of relatively cold water connected with upwelling. The Kansas location was much farther offshore (450 km basinward) compared to the Iowa localities suggesting a difference in thermocline depth, affecting water temperature, oxygenation, and nutrients. Les radiolaires du Desmoinesien (Pennsylvanien moyen) sont décrits à partir de concrétions carbonatées trouvées dans le faciès phosphaté noir dans les strates du membre Excello Shale du calcaire de Fort Scott (Groupe de Marmaton) dans le sud-est du Kansas (section K69), aux États-Unis. Dix nouvelles espèces de radiolaires sont décrites: Albaillella kansaensis, Holdsworthella trifurca, Pseudoalbaillella deformata, Entactinia jayhawkensis, E. heckeli, E. boardmani, Apophysiacus martiali, Moskovistella insolita, Palacantholithus umbrelliformis et Ormistonella perrara. L'assemblage de radiolaires du Kansas est différent de celui décrit dans les schistes Excello de l'Iowa en termes de préservation et de composition taxinomique. Les radiolaires sont conservés sous forme de moules internes pyritisés ou de tests remplacés par de la pyrite et de la matière organique non identifiable. La dominance des entactinaires et des albaillellaires dans l'assemblage du Kansas et leur conservation médiocre à excellente indiquent la formation de concrétions calcaires diagénétiques précoces en conditions anoxiques. L'apparition du genre de radiolaire spiculaire Palacantholithus indique un afflux d'eau relativement froide lié à une remontée d'eau. L'emplacement du Kansas était beaucoup plus éloigné au large (450 km vers le bassin) que les localités de l'Iowa, ce qui suggère une différence de profondeur de la thermocline, affectant la température de l'eau, l'oxygénation et les nutriments.
