Bradoriid arthropods (class Bradoriida) are described for the first time from the lower–middle Cambrian boundary interval (regional Agdzian Stage) of the Franconian Forest in eastern Bavaria, Germany. The specimens originate from the Tannenknock and Triebenreuth formations, which are part of a shallow marine succession deposited at the margin of West Gondwana. Five different forms have been distinguished,...
A microfauna of small shelly fossils (SSF) is reported here for the first time from middle Cambrian (Series 3, Stage 5) subsurface strata of the Torgau-Doberlug Syncline (TDS), Central Germany. Considering that this microfauna is strongly limited and poorly preserved the material is quite abundant and diverse. The assemblage consists of molluscs (pelagiellids, bivalves), coeloscleritophorans (chancelloriids,...
The early middle Cambrian Tannenknock Formation of the Franconian Forest, traditionally subdivided into the Galgenberg and Wildenstein strata, yields a relatively diverse fauna. This fauna includes a number of molluscs, which portrays a fairly diverse assemblage that can be regarded as paradigmatic for the lower–middle Cambrian boundary interval in West Gondwana, with the helcionelloid genera Helcionella...
Earliest middle Cambrian rocks in the Franconian Forest, formerly known as the ‘Galgenberg Formation’, include a moderately diverse fauna with a characteristic West Gondwanan, Atlas-type trilobite assemblage with often surprisingly well-preserved specimens. The hitherto inadequately characterised and poorly described assemblage includes Kingaspidoides frankenwaldensis, K. sp. aff. usitata, K. alberti...
This paper presents an analysis of the spatiotemporal distribution and composition of a volcanosedimentary complex, which has recorded a significant episode of carbonate productivity embedded in a thick and monotonous, turbiditic-dominated rift succession. The studied nucleation of a microbial–skeletal carbonate factory is middle Cambrian in age and situated at Sidi-Saïd-Maâchou, an uplifted rift...
