Middle Permian Brachiopods from Setamai, the Type Locality of The
Sci. Rep., Niigata Univ., Ser. E(Geology), No. 16, 1-33, 2001 Middle Permian brachiopods from Setamai,the type locality of the Kanokura Formation,southern Kitakami Mountains, northeast Japan Jun-ichi TAZAWA* and Yosuke IBARAKI** Abstract A Middle Permian (Kubergandian-Murgabian) brachiopod fauna is described from the type section of the lower Kanokura Formation in the Setamai area, southern Kitakami Moun tains, northeast Japan. This fauna contains the following nine species: Transennatia gratiosa, Tyloplecta cf. yangzeensis, Waagenoconcha sp., Linoproductus cora, Cancrinella sp., Leptodus nobilis, Derbyia grandis, Derbyia nipponica and Spiriferella keilhavii. The Setamai fauna is characterized by the mixuture of both the Boreal and Tethyan elements. Key words: Boreal-Tethyan mixed fauna, brachiopods. Middle Permian, Setamai, southern Kitakami Mountains. Introduction The Permian brachiopod specimens described in this paper were collected by the authors and late Prof. M. Minato of Hokkaido University from nine localities in the Kanokurasawa and Kacchizawa valleys in the Setamai area, the type locahty of the lower part of the Kanokura Formation, southern Kitakami Mountains, northeast Japan (Figs. 1,2). The Middle Permian Kanokura Formation was named by Onuki (1937) as the Kanokura Stage, but Onuki (1956)later changed the name to 'formation' with the outcrops along the Kanokurasawa valley as its type section. The stratigraphy of the Kanokura Formation in the Setamai area was described and discussed in detail by Minato et al.(1954,1978,1979), Onuki (1956, 1969), Murata (1964), Saito (1966, 1968) and Choi (1973, 1976).

Gigantoproductus (Brachiopoda) from the Lower Carboniferous
Sci. Rep., Niigata Univ., Ser. E(Geology), No. 17, 1-6, 2002 Gigantoproductus(Brachiopoda) from the Lower Carboniferous (Upper Visean) Onimaru Formation of the southern Kitakami Mountains, NE Japan Jun-ichi TAZAWA* and Yukio MIYAKE** Abstract A sole specimen of Gigantoproductus cf. okensis (Sarytcheva, 1928)is described from the Lower Carboniferous (Upper Visean) Onimaru Formation of the Okusakamotozawa area, southern Kitakami Mountains, northeast Japan. This specimen is the first described Gigantoproductus from the Lower Carboniferous succession of the South Kitakami region. Key words: Gigantoproductus, Lower Carboniferous, Okusakamotozawa, Onimaru Formation, southern Kitakami Mountains. Introduction Some large-sized productoid brachiopods have been listed or figured as Gigantoproductus species from the Lower Carboniferous of the southern Kitakami Mountains, northeast Japan (Minato, 1950, 1955; Onuki, 1969; Minato et al., 1959, 1979; Tazawa et al., 1981; Tazawa, 1984), but they have never been described. Recently, the junior author(Y. Miyake) collected a specimen of Gigantoproductus from a dark grey limestone float at the upper stream of Sakamotozawa Valley (Loc. MHKl), Okusakamotozawa, Hikoroichi-cho, Ofunato City, Iwate Prefecture, viz., the Okusakamotozawa area, southern Kitakami Mountains, northeast Japan (Fig. 1). In addition to this brachiopod specimen, he collected some rugose coral fossils such as Siphonodendron, Yuanophyllum and Kueichouphyllum from the limestone floats at this locality. According to Niikawa(1983a, b), dark grey to black limestone of the upper part of the Onimaru Formation (Upper Visean), with Siphonodendron densitabulata (Yabe and Hayasaka), Yuanophyllum kitakamiense Minato and Rowett, Kueichouphyllum yabei Minato, * Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Niigata University, Niigata 950-2181, Japan ** Miya-mura 331-1, Ono-gun, Gifu Prefecture 509-3502, Japan (Manuscript received 22 November, 2001; accepted 21 December, 2001) J. -

The Eoorthid Brachiopod Apheoorthina in the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina and the Dispersal Pathways Along Western Gondwana
The eoorthid brachiopod Apheoorthina in the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina and the dispersal pathways along western Gondwana DIEGO F. MUÑOZ and JUAN L. BENEDETTO Muñoz, D.F. and Benedetto, J.L. 2016. The eoorthid brachiopod Apheoorthina in the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina and the dispersal pathways along western Gondwana. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 61 (3): 633–644. The eoorthid brachiopod Apheoorthina is reported for the first time from the Lower Ordovician of NW Argentina. It is represented by a species similar to A. ferrigena from the Tremadocian of the Prague Basin, increasing the faunal af- finities between the Central Andean Basin and the South European microcontinents, in particular the Bohemian region (Perunica). Nine out of the fourteen brachiopod genera reported from the Tremadocian of the Central Andean Basin (~64%) are shared with the Mediterranean region, four of which (~28%) have been recorded in the Prague Basin, and two (Kvania and Apheoorthina) are restricted to the Central Andes and Perunica. Dispersal pathways around Gondwana are analyzed in the light of major factors affecting large-scale distribution of brachiopods (environment, larval capacity for dispersal, oceanic currents). The presence in Apheoorthina aff. ferrigena of a well-preserved larval protegulum measuring 420 μm in width and 210 μm in length strongly suggests that this species had planktotrophic larvae capable of long-distance dispersal. According to recent ocean-atmosphere general circulation models for the Ordovician Period, the Central Andean margin was dominated by the cold-water Antarctica Current. Despite the complex non-zonal pattern produced by current deflections around the peri-Gondwanan microcontinents, the general westward circulation sense favoured larval dispersal from the Andean region to North Africa, Avalonia, the Armorican Terrane Assemblage, and Perunica. -

Coevolution of Global Brachiopod Palaeobiogeography and Tectonopalaeogeography During the Carboniferous Ning Li1,2*, Cheng-Wen Wang1, Pu Zong3 and Yong-Qin Mao4
Li et al. Journal of Palaeogeography (2021) 10:18 https://doi.org/10.1186/s42501-021-00095-z Journal of Palaeogeography ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Coevolution of global brachiopod palaeobiogeography and tectonopalaeogeography during the Carboniferous Ning Li1,2*, Cheng-Wen Wang1, Pu Zong3 and Yong-Qin Mao4 Abstract The global brachiopod palaeobiogeography of the Mississippian is divided into three realms, six regions, and eight provinces, while that of the Pennsylvanian is divided into three realms, six regions, and nine provinces. On this basis, we examined coevolutionary relationships between brachiopod palaeobiogeography and tectonopalaeogeography using a comparative approach spanning the Carboniferous. The appearance of the Boreal Realm in the Mississippian was closely related to movements of the northern plates into middle–high latitudes. From the Mississippian to the Pennsylvanian, the palaeobiogeography of Australia transitioned from the Tethys Realm to the Gondwana Realm, which is related to the southward movement of eastern Gondwana from middle to high southern latitudes. The transition of the Yukon–Pechora area from the Tethys Realm to the Boreal Realm was associated with the northward movement of Laurussia, whose northern margin entered middle–high northern latitudes then. The formation of the six palaeobiogeographic regions of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian brachiopods was directly related to “continental barriers”, which resulted in the geographical isolation of each region. The barriers resulted from the configurations of Siberia, Gondwana, and Laurussia, which supported the Boreal, Tethys, and Gondwana realms, respectively. During the late Late Devonian–Early Mississippian, the Rheic seaway closed and North America (from Laurussia) joined with South America and Africa (from Gondwana), such that the function of “continental barriers” was strengthened and the differentiation of eastern and western regions of the Tethys Realm became more distinct. -
