“…Another group of molluscs, which are apparently hosting the xylophagous bacteria are chitons from families Leptochitonidae, Ferreiraellidae, and Nierstraszellidae; all belonging to suborder Lepidopleurina (Sirenko 2001a,b, 2004). Very common at modern sunken wood communities are also acmaeid, cocculinid, and pseudococculinid limpet gastropods (Wolff 1979; Marshall 1985, 1986; McLean & Harasewych 1995; Hasegawa 1997; Pailleret et al. 2007), skeneids, vitrinellids, hyalogyrinids, and xylodisculids (Marshall 1988; Hasegawa 1997).…”

The oldest modern-type wood-fall (sunken wood) associations so far known, were reported from the Upper Cretaceous of Japan. Here, four Middle Jurassic fossil associations collected from logs of sunken driftwood are documented from clay and silt sediments of the Częstochowa Ore-bearing Clay Formation in Poland. The associations are composed of almost entirely different set of molluscs when compared to modern examples of wood-fall communities. The exceptions are leptochitonid polyplacophorans and alleged cocculinoid gastropods, both of which are typical of modern sunken wood communities. It is hypothesized here that the associations represent Jurassic wood-fall communities, which in contrast to their modern counterparts do not contain associated chemosymbiotic animals. This disparity results from the absence of xylophagain woodboring bivalves, which since the Cretaceous have produced significant amounts of faecal pellets, the decomposition of which increases the amount of sulphide around sunken driftwoods. The associations are considered as benthic rather than pseudoplanktonic because the wood logs were colonized only on their upper side, the abundant crinoids belong to benthic genera rather than to pseudoplanktonic, associations include numerous infaunal organisms, and there are too many clingers in the associations. The most typical and numerous members of the investigated associations are the gastropods Cosmocerithium and Astandes, both having uncertain taxonomic positions. It is suggested here that Cosmocerithium could be a grazer of bacterial mats, and represents an ecological counterpart of modern Provannidae. h chitons, cocculinoids, deep sea, ecology, evolution, Wood-fall communities.Andrzej Kaim [kaim@twarda.pan.pl]

“…In its faunal composition it is surprisingly similar to its modern and Cenozoic counterparts, at least in respect to fossilizable, shell‐bearing taxa. Five of the species, the limpet, the two provannids and the two skeneiform gastropods most likely grazed on xylophagous microbes, like their modern analogues (Marshall 1985, 1988; Warén & Bouchet 2001). In total abundance, these five species comprise ca.…”

: Wood-fall associations from Late Cretaceous deep-water sediments of Hokkaido, Japan. Lethaia , Vol. 42, Sunken wood (wood-fall) in the deep sea today is colonized and consumed by diverse invertebrate communities that show phylogenetic relationships to the chemotrophic fauna on whale carcasses, hydrothermal vents and hydrocarbon seeps. Here we document Late Cretaceous examples of wood-fall communities from deep-water sediments of the Yezo Group on Hokkaido, Japan, consisting of provannid, skeneiform, and patelliform gastropods, and thyasirid and nuculanid bivalves. These species are similar or identical to those found on plesiosaur bones and at hydrocarbon seeps in the same sediments, showing that many members of the modern chemotrophic deep-sea fauna colonized this range of habitats at least since Late Cretaceous time. We also document for the first time faecal chimneys in boreholes in these wood fragments, which were presumably built by xylophagain bivalves. ᮀ Chemosynthetic communities , deep sea ,

“…Key taxa are the acmaeid limpet Pectinodonta and the bathymodiolin mussel Idas n. sp. Extant Pectinodonta occurs exclusively at wood-falls (Marshall 1985;Lindberg & Hedegaard 1996) and Recent Idas is known from wood-and whale-falls, and cold-seeps ( Jones et al 2005). However, fossil cold-seep carbonates are very distinctive geologic features that cannot be mistaken for wood-fall concretions.…”

Deep-sea food bonanzas: early Cenozoic whale-fall communities resemble wood-fall rather than seep communities

The evolutionary history of invertebrate communities utilizing whale carcasses and sunken wood in the deep-sea is explored using fossil evidence. Compared to modern whale-fall communities, the Eo-Oligocene examples lack those vent-type taxa that most heavily rely on sulphide produced by anaerobic breakdown of bone lipids, but are very similar in their trophic structure to contemporaneous wood-falls. This sheds doubt on the hypothesis that whale-falls were evolutionary stepping stones for taxa that now inhabit hydrothermal vents and seeps. We suggest that the whale-fall communities reported here represent a new ecologic stage among whale-falls, which we have coined the 'chemosymbiotic opportunist stage' and that the 'sulphophilic stage' of modern whale-falls developed during the Early Miocene, resulting from a significant increase in both body size and/or oil content of bones among cetaceans during this time.
