Bulk sampling of late Oxfordian and early Kimmeridgian sediments of the Sot de Chera Formation near the Village of Moneva in the Aragonese Branch of the Iberian Ranges (NE Spain) yielded a low-diversity fauna of sharks (Synechodus ungeri, Phorcynis sp. cf. P. catulina, ?Scyliorhinidae indet., Pseudorhina sp., Protospinax sp.), guitarfishes (Belemnobatis sp., Spathobatis sp.) and ray-finned fishes...
This article provides the first taxonomic description of Ivorian (Late Tournaisian, Early Carboniferous) rugose coral associations from north-western Turkey (Zonguldak and Bartın). Eleven species belonging to ten genera are described, one species is new. Three biostratigraphic assemblages are recognized. The oldest assemblage includes Cyathaxonia cornu, Cyathoclisia uralensis, ‘Lophophyllum’ konincki...
Reconstruction of fossil teleost faunas can provide important information on palaeoenvironments, palaeogeography and evolution, and otoliths are particularly useful for that purpose. Here we present an otolith-based fish fauna from the middle Miocene of the Eastern Paratethys, i.e. the Karagaily section of the Mangyshlak Peninsula in Western Kazakhstan, and report on the accompanying nannoplankton,...
The first and presently only record of a ponyfish is described from the Lower Oligocene of the Grube Unterfeld (“Frauenweiler”) clay pit at Rauenberg (S Germany) and compared with other extant and fossil representatives of the Leiognathidae. It differs from all extant (and probably also fossil) members of this family in the coalescence of the ascending and articular processes of the premaxilla and...
Cyclocystoids are a poorly known, rare, extinct class of bi-facially flattened, disc shaped echinoderms, ranging from the Middle Ordovician to the Early Carboniferous. Articulated cyclocystoids are relatively common in the Ordovician but are rarer in younger strata. Here we describe Perforocycloides nathaliae new genus and species, from the early Silurian of Anticosti Island, Québec, Canada, the first...
