B. Jago (with one text-figure and two plates) JAGO, J.B., 1989 (31:x): Late Cambrian brachiopods from the Denison Range, southwestern Tasmania. Pap. Proc R. Soc. Tasm. 123: 37-42. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.123.37 ISSN 0080-4703. Department of Applied Geology, South Australian Institute of Technology, The Levels Campus, South Australia 5095. Eight unnamed species of brachiopods and one indeterminate hyolithid species are described and figured from three stratigraphic intervals within the early Late Cambrian Singing Creek Formation, Denison Range, southwestern Tasmania. Key Words: brachiopod, hyolithid, Cambrian, Tasmania. INTRODUCTION =�===i Gradational contact with Great Dome Sandstone The purpose of this paper is to document the brachiopods and hyolithids from the Singing Creek Formation of the Denison Range in southwestern Top fauna Tasmania. The Middle Cambrian to Lower Ordovician stratigraphy of the Denison Range area (Corbett 1975) may be summarised as follows: Middle fauna Denison Group - Squirrel Creek Formation 600m Reeds Conglomerate 1560 m Great Dome Sandstone 510 m Singing Creek Formation 720m angular unconformity Bottom fauna Trial Ridge Beds 500m 0� 1 00km The upper part of the Trial Ridge Beds contains fossils of the late Middle Cambrian Lejopyge laevigata Zone (Jago 1979). The Great Dome Sandstone is a shallow marine-deltaic-fluvial sequence which contains abundant trace fossils, Unconformity on rare inarticulate brachiopods, and a gastropod Trial Ridge Beds similar to Kobayashiella (Corbett 1975). The Singing Creek Formation comprises 720 m of quartzwacke turbidites interbedded with Sandstone, conglomerate fossiliferous siltstone, siliceous conglomerate and and slump sheets slump sheets, deposited as a submarine fan D Siltstone with isolated complex in a fault-controlled basin (Corbett 1972, sandstone beds 1973, 1975). In the Denison Range, fossils are D found over three stratigraphic intervals (fig. 1). Jago ( 1987) described the trilobites; the FIG.

EMIG Abstract: The first descriptions of Lingula were made from then extant specimens by three famous French scientists: BRUGUIÈRE, CUVIER, and LAMARCK. The genus Lingula was created in 1791 (not 1797) by BRUGUIÈRE and in 1801 LAMARCK named the first species L. anatina, which was then studied by CUVIER (1802). In 1812 the first fossil lingulids were discovered in the Mesozoic and Palaeozoic strata of the U.K.

The monograph, illustrated by 104 quarto plates and numerous text fig- ures, should be ready for distribution in the year 1909. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF EVOLUTION In order to formulate, as far as possible, in a graphic manner a conception of the evolution and lines of descent of the Cambrian Brachiopoda, a schematic diagram (see plate 11) has been prepared for reference. It is necessarily tentative and incomplete, but it will serve to point out my present conceptions of the lines of evolution of the various genera, and it shows clearly the very rapid development of the primitive Atrematous genera in early Cambrian time.

  • Inarticulate Brachiopods from the Lower Ordovician in Northern Poland
    Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae (1986); vol. 56: 409—418 PL ISSN 0208-9068 INARTICULATE BRACHIOPODS FROM THE LOWER ORDOVICIAN IN NORTHERN POLAND Wiesław Bednarczyk Institute of Geological Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences, Żwirki i Wigury 93, 02-089 Warszawa Bednarczyk, W ., 1986. Inarticulate brachiopods from the Lower Ordovician in northern Poland. Ann. Soc. Geol. Polon., 56: 409—418. A bstract: Some inarticulate brachiopods, including 6 new species and 1 new genus, are described from lowermost Ordovician limestone from vicinity of Łeba, northern Poland. The as­ semblage is dominated by acrotretids some of which are closely related to some Scandinavian species. The described taxa may be of value in correlating upper Tremadocian and lower Arenigian deposits. Key words: Ordovician, brachiopods, Inarticulata, morphology, taxonomy, new genus, new species. Manuscript received December 1985, accepted January 1986. INTRODUCTION Minute inarticulate brachiopods dominated by ac.otietids were found during the preparation of conodonts from Lower Ordovician of northern Poland. The present paper contains descriptions of Pomeraniotreta biernati n. gen. et n. sp. and of six other species belonging to Rowellella, Conotreta, Eurytreta, Myotreta, and Paterula. The remaining part of the collection is being studied. Recently, the author received a written information from Dr Lars Holmer from the University of Uppsala on his collection of inarticulate brachiopods from the Ceratopyge Limestone of Scandinavia. This collection includes brachial valves apparently identical with those described here as Pomeraniotreta biernati n. gen. et n. sp., and also articulated shells, i.e. those in which the brachial and pedicle valves are still joined. The pedicle valves appear to be identical with those described by Bednarczyk (1979) as Torynelasma lebaensis n.

  • Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park
    Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park By Linda Sue Lassiter1, Justin S. Tweet2, Frederick A. Sundberg3, John R. Foster4, and P. J. Bergman5 1Northern Arizona University Department of Biological Sciences Flagstaff, Arizona 2National Park Service 9149 79th Street S. Cottage Grove, Minnesota 55016 3Museum of Northern Arizona Research Associate Flagstaff, Arizona 4Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum Vernal, Utah 5Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, Arizona Introduction As impressive as the Grand Canyon is to any observer from the rim, the river, or even from space, these cliffs and slopes are much more than an array of colors above the serpentine majesty of the Colorado River. The erosive forces of the Colorado River and feeder streams took millions of years to carve more than 290 million years of Paleozoic Era rocks. These exposures of Paleozoic Era sediments constitute 85% of the almost 5,000 km2 (1,903 mi2) of the Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) and reveal important chronologic information on marine paleoecologies of the past. This expanse of both spatial and temporal coverage is unrivaled anywhere else on our planet. While many visitors stand on the rim and peer down into the abyss of the carved canyon depths, few realize that they are also staring at the history of life from almost 520 million years ago (Ma) where the Paleozoic rocks cover the great unconformity (Karlstrom et al. 2018) to 270 Ma at the top (Sorauf and Billingsley 1991). The Paleozoic rocks visible from the South Rim Visitors Center, are mostly from marine and some fluvial sediment deposits (Figure 5-1).
