The Iberian Peninsula comprises the most extensive outcrops of Ordovician rocks in Europe. They are mainly situated within the Iberian Massif and in its eastern extension in the Iberian Cordillera, as part of the Variscan Belt, and also in the Palaeozoic massifs of the Catalonian Coastal Ranges, the Pyrenees and the Betic Cordilleras, which have later been involved in the Alpine tectonic evolution. The celebration of an Ordovician meeting in Spain brings the opportunity to experience first hand the particular rocks and fossils representative of a special high-paleolatitudinal domain related to the southern polar margin of Gondwana, mainly represented by siliciclastic facies and with an interesting tectono- magmatic activity mostly linked with the opening of the Rheic ocean.

Oslo 1999. ISSN 0029-196X. This is Part Il of a two-part description of the trilobite fauna of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation) in the Oslo, Eiker­ Sandsvær, Modum and Mjøsa areas. In this part, the non-asaphid trilobites are described, while the asaphid species have been described previously. The history and status of the Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary problem is also reviewed, and I have found no reason to insert a Hunnebergian Series between the Tremadoc and the Arenig series, as has been suggested by some workers. Descriptions of the localities yielding this special trilobite fauna are provided. Most of the 22 trilobite species found in the Hagastrand Member also occur in Sweden. The 12 non-asaphid trilobites described herein belong to the families Metagnostidae, Shumardiidae, Remopleurididae, Nileidae, Cyclopygidae, Raphiophoridae, Alsataspididae and Pliomeridae.

    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2010, 59, 1, 25–36 doi: 10.3176/earth.2010.1.02 Chitinozoan dynamics and biostratigraphy in the Väo Formation (Darriwilian) of the Uuga Cliff, Pakri Peninsula, NW Estonia Mairy Tammekänd, Olle Hints, and Jaak Nõlvak Institute of Geology at Tallinn University of Technology, Ehitajate tee 5, 19086 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received 3 August 2009, accepted 27 October 2009 Abstract. The distribution of chitinozoans in the Väo Formation (Lasnamägi and Uhaku regional stages, Darriwilian) of the Uuga Cliff, Pakri Peninsula, NW Estonia, was investigated from 62 samples. Chitinozoans are very common and assemblages are diverse, with a total of 36 species and up to 170 specimens per gram of rock. The assemblage is dominated by Belonechitina, Desmochitina, Cyathochitina, and Euconochitina. The relative and absolute frequency of particular taxa displays regular and possibly cyclic patterns, which are not directly reflected in lithology or geochemistry. Abrupt changes in chitinozoan abundance, coinciding with some of the discontinuity surfaces, suggest the presence of stratigraphical gaps. The diversity of chitinozoans is the highest in the lower part of the Väo Formation (Rebala Member), where up to 20 species were identified in one sample and the standing species diversity exceeded 25. Within the studied interval at least 11 biostratigraphical horizons can be distinguished, including the subzonal boundaries within the Laufeldochitina striata Zone. The disappearance of abundant Belonechitina pellifera can be used for tracing the lower boundary of the Uhaku Stage. Key words: chitinozoans, frequency patterns, diversity, biostratigraphy, Ordovician, Estonia.

Each entry is accompanied by the author and date of availability, by the name of the type species, by a lithostratigraphic or biostratigraphic and geographic reference for the type species, by a family assignment and by an age indication of the type species at the Period level (e.g. MCAM, LDEV). A second listing of these names is taxonomically arranged in families with the families listed alphabetically, higher level classification being outside the scope of this work.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Stratigraphic distribution and suggested evolution of dendroid graptolites from the Silurian of eastern Australia Abstract Five evolutionary lineages are proposed for Silurian species of the benthic dendroid graptolite genus Dictyonema, based largely on the exceptional eastern Australian records of the genus, comprising at least 25 species. These are: A, the delicatulum lineage with bifurcating ventral autothecal apertural spines; B, the paululum lineage with single ventral apertural spines or processes; C, the elegans lineage with isolated thecal apertures ± processes; D, the sherrardae lineage with dorsal apertural processes; and E, the venustum lineage with simple autothecal apertures. Brief comments are also made on other dendroid genera occurring in Australian strata, namely: Acanthograptus, Koremagraptus, Callograptus, Dendrograptus, Stelechocladia, Thallograptus and Palaeodictyota. Other non-graptoloid benthic hemichordates also listed are the tuboids Galaeograptus, Reticulograptus and Cyclograptus and the rhabdopleuran ?Rhabdopleura.

Cutting samples from three boreholes on East Moesia (SE Romania) have been investigated in this study using S.E.M technique. Chitinozoan assemblages prove the presence of Wenlock–Ludlow (possibly Homerian and Gorstian), Přídolí, and Lochkovian. Those of the last have a pronounced distribution in North Gondwanan localities; one of them, Cingulochitina plusquelleci, is illustrative only in North Gondwanan regions. These chitinozoans argue that East Moesia and probably West Moesia were in good communication with the Ibarmaghian Domain of the Northern Gondwana palaeocontinent. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
