It is frequently found and studied in European Neogene carpological floras, but is scarcely represented in East Asia floras. In this work we recognize a new fossil record of Spirematospermum wetzleri（Heer） Chandler based on the capsules and seeds from the Miocene of Weichang, Hebei Province, North China. These fossils represent the first record of the species in the Miocene of China. Fossil data indicate that Spirematospermum probably originated in the Late Cretaceous of North America or Central Europe.The genus still existed in the Paleocene of North America, but became extinct after that time. However, the genus successively survived in Europe from the Eocene to Pliocene, and flourished luxuriantly during the Oligocene to Miocene. As there was Turgai Strait between Europe and Asia during the Eocene, the genus did not spread to Central Asia and West Siberia until the strait closed in the late Eocene/early Oligocene, and further expanded eastwardly to eastern Siberia, Russia, northern China and central Japan during the Miocene, but became extinct in Asia after the Miocene. The genus contracted its distribution to Europe in the Pliocene, and afterwards it became extinct in the world.展开更多

文摘I讲座的第一部分对语言作为一个“不确定”的对象进行了思考。从英语中很少在“语言”一词前加定冠词这一现象出发,韦伯引用了德国文学评论家和哲学家维尔纳·哈马赫(Werner Hamacher)的论述,谈到了涉及所有语言的语言内部的“不断增殖”现象:“不存在一种语言,而是一种多样性;不是一种稳定的多样性,而只是一种语言的不断增殖。”(“95 Theses on Philology”25)哈马赫认为。
