Multiplicatispirifer, a new delthyridoid brachiopod genus with a gently divergent capillate micro-ornamentation and bifurcating costae on flanks, sulcus and fold, has been identified in the Mdâouer-el-Kbîr Formation of the Dra Valley (southern Anti-Atlas, Morocco). Its type speciesMultiplicatispirifer foumzguidensis n. gen., n. sp., at present the only species of this genus, is described. This form...
The new rhynchonelliform brachiopod Chaniella pascuali n. gen. n. sp. is described from the lower Tremadocian Guayoc Chico Group of northwestern Argentina. Cladistic analysis shows that Chaniella is closest to the billingsellides Protambonites and Korinevskia. The particular combination of features of the new genus, in particular the presence of narrow lateral deltidial plates instead of a complete...
Leonispirifer, a new delthyridoid brachiopod genus characterized by capillate micro-ornamentation with marginal microspines, very few ribs, and a brachidium consisting of spirals that have a small diameter and are oriented in the posterior direction, is identified from the Emsian La Vid Group in its type section in the Cantabrian Mountains in northern Spain. Its type species Leonispirifer leonensis...
The nominative subgenus of Schizophoria (Brachiopoda, Orthida) is represented in the Lower and Middle Devonian of Poland and of the western Ukraine by six taxa: late Emsian Schizophoria (S.) interstrialis, late Eifelian S. (S.) schnuri biscissa, early Givetian S. (S.) schnuri schnuri, middle to late Givetian S. (S.) schnuri prohibita ssp.n., middle Givetian S. (S.) parvaepunctata and late Givetian...
The core of borehole 1209/78 west of Doberlug–Kirchhain and south of Herzberg in the Torgau–Doberlug Syncline records an atypical lower part of the Tröbitz Formation with thin limestone horizons. These limestone layers include the remains of a low to moderately diverse fauna with the trilobites Protolenus (Hupeolenus) bergstroemi n. sp., Cambrunicornia saxonica n. sp., Ornamentaspis? aff. todraensis...
A new genus and species of a rhynchonellide brachiopod from the Jurassic of Jordan, Talexirhynchia kadishi gen. et sp. nov., is described. The specimens were collected from the Mughanniyya Formation (Callovian) of Wadi Zarqa from alternating claystones, siltstones, and marly limestones with minor dolomite, dolomitic limestone, and coquinas that represent the upper part of the Jurassic...
Six brachiopod species, i.e., Discradisca sp., Cryptopora sp., Pliothyrina sp. cf. P. grandis (Blumenbach, 1803), Terebratulina tenuistriata (Leymerie, 1846), Rhynchonellopsis nysti (Bosquet, 1862), and Orthothyris pectinoides (von Koenen, 1894), have been identified in the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene Silberberg Formation of Atzendorf, Central Germany. The species R. nysti and O. pectinoides dominate...
Eleven brachiopod species from the Paso Hondo Formation in the Chicomuselo region of southern Chiapas, Mexico are described. Chonosteges cooperi is a new species. Dyoros (Tetragonetes) rectangulatus, Costispinifera rugatula, Echinosteges tuberculatus, Tropidelasma furcillatum, Acosarina rectimarginata, Tautosia transenna, Composita hapsida, and Neospirifer venezuelensis are recorded for the first...
