Rare Group

The pseudorthoceratid subfamily Macroloxoceratinae Flower, 1957, comprises a rare group of nautiloid cephalopods homeomorphic with the Actinoceratida in the development of a siphonal canal system. With the exception of Macroloxoceras Flower, 1957, from the Upper Devonian of Colorado and New Mexico, this subfamily has previously been reported only from the Mississippian of Europe. A specimen described herein from the late Viséan–?early Namurian Kennetcook Limestone of the Windsor Group of Nova Scotia, assigned to Campyloceras cf. C. unguis (Phillips, 1836), extends the range of the Macroloxoceratinae into the North American Mississippian. This discovery further provides new data on the complex siphonal morphology of this poorly known group of nautiloids, and supplements the recent documentation of the pseudorthoceratids in the Windsor Group cephalopod fauna (Edgecombe, 1987).

Three short cores of Windsor Group carbonates from the northeast Newfoundland Shelf yielded Late Viséan foraminifers of Zones 15 and 16Inf. This most northeastward occurrence of the marine Lower Carboniferous on the American continent has foraminifers identical to those reported from Windsor carbonates exposed in southwestern Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The foraminifera belong to the North American realm and not to the Tethyan realm. The algae are exceptionally well preserved. Except for a single species, they are also 'American' and not Tethyan. This confirms that the proto-Atlantic effectively separates the North American and Euro–African continental blocks in Early Carboniferous time.

Brown Bodies

Lands and bodies are often conceptualized as exhaustible objects and property within settler-colonial and neoliberal ideologies. These conceptualizations lead to underdevelopment of understandings of lands and bodies that fall outside of these ascriptions, and also attempt to actively obscure the pervasive ways in which settler colonialism violently reinscribes itself on the North American landscape through the murder and disappearance of Black and Brown women's bodies. In this article, I will argue that the continual murder and disappearance of Black and Brown women in North America facilitate the successful functioning of ongoing settler-colonial systems and projects. This violence creates and reinforces the functionality of Black/Brown bodies as the territory upon which settler identity and futurity gains traction, indeed, requires.
