Cephalopoda, Notostraca 554 INTRODUCTION The field reconnaissance of the pre-Devonian formations of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada, that I have been conducting the past six seasons has resulted in the accumulation of collections that have received preliminary study and are now being prepared for illustra- tion and description. The first paper resulting from this field-work was issued in March, 1923, on the " Nomenclature of Some post-Cambrian and pre-Cam- 1 brian Formations." In this, preliminary lists of fossils are given and among them three brachiopods that are described in this paper, Lingulella ibicus Walcott, Eoorthis tones Walcott, Syntrophia isis Walcott. E. iones is now referred to Protorthis. In addition to the above there are 50 new species and one variety listed in the table of contents. These include not only those from the Cordilleran area of Canada, but a few from various localities in the United States that have been found in older collections from various sources now in the U. S. National Museum. 1 Smithsonian Misc. Coll., Vol. 67, No. 8. : 480 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 6j The species are distributed as follows Ordovician 6 Ozarkian 26 Cambrian 20 52 Common to Ozarkian and Ordovician 2 Total new species 50 One new variety. Brachiopods are relatively rare in genera and species in the forma- tions in which I have been working in Alberta and British Columbia. This in a measure is owing to their destruction by wave and current action, and also to the fact that conditions accompanying the great calcareous deposits do not appear to have afforded them a favorable habitat. An occasional quiet bay or inlet provided food and shelter from the strong tides and currents, and in these, colonies of a few species flourished in great numbers. The species described by me since the preparation of Monograph 51, published in 1912 are Obolus mollisonensis Walcott 2 Lingulella moosensis Walcott 2 2 Lingulella ? allani Walcott Mickwitzia muralensis Walcott 3 Lingulella chapa Walcott 3 Lingulella hitka Walcott 3 Obolella nuda Walcott * Micromitra (Paterina) charon Walcott 4 Obolus damo Walcott 4 * Acrothele clitus Walcott Wimanella catulus Walcott 4 The present paper also includes the only two cephalopods, and one Notostracan thus far discovered in the Mons formation. The study of the gasteropoda of the Sarceen ° formations is well advanced, also the description and illustration of new genera of trilobites. It is planned to include these papers in Volume 75 of Smithsonian Mis- cellaneous Collections. Through the courtesy of Dr. Olaf Holtedahl, I have had the oppor- tunity of studying a small collection of brachiopods from Novaya 1 Mong. U. S. Geol. Surv., No. 51, 1912. 2 Smithsonian Misc.

NO. 9 CAMBRIAN AND OZARKIAN BRACHIOPODA 481 1 Zemlya, Russia, which he discovered there. The brachiopods are described and illustrated in this paper and they will also be published later in Norway with the associated trilobites. The fauna is essen- tially of a lower Ozarkian Mons facies and belongs, as Dr. Holtedahl states, with the Pacific Province and not the Atlantic. The genera and species of brachiopods include LingulcUa cf. desiderata Walcott, L. arctica n. sp., Acrotreta sp. undt., Obolus {Westonia) sp. undt., BiUingsella holtedahli n. sp., B. ? oppius n. sp., Eoorthis sabus n. sp., Huenella triplicata n. sp. The photographs of brachiopods illustrated in this paper were made by Dr. Charles E. Resser, of the U. S. National Museum, and the retouching of photographs was done by Miss Francis Wieser. BRACHIOPODA DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES Genus MICROMITRA Meek See Mong. U. S. Geol. Surv., No. 51, 1912, p. 332, for synonymy, description and illustration. MICROMITRA ZENOBIA Walcott Plate 106, figs. 1-7 Micromitra zenobxa Walcott, 1912, Mong. U. S. Geol. Surv., No. 51, p. 342, text fig. 23. Describes and illustrates species with one text figure. The type of this species occurs in the Burgess shale of the Stephen formation, and the specimens illustrated in this paper occur in a calcareous shale about 1,000 feet (304.8 m.) distant from the type locality and a little above the horizon at the type locality. All the shells are flattened and more or less distorted; none of them exhibit the interior surface and only traces of the pseudo cardinal area are preserved; they afford, however, fine illustrations of distortion with considerable fracturing of the test of the shell, and are worth

  • Early Sponge Evolution: a Review and Phylogenetic Framework
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Palaeoworld 27 (2018) 1–29 Review Early sponge evolution: A review and phylogenetic framework a,b,∗ a Joseph P. Botting , Lucy A. Muir a Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 39 East Beijing Road, Nanjing 210008, China b Department of Natural Sciences, Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum Wales, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3LP, UK Received 27 January 2017; received in revised form 12 May 2017; accepted 5 July 2017 Available online 13 July 2017 Abstract Sponges are one of the critical groups in understanding the early evolution of animals. Traditional views of these relationships are currently being challenged by molecular data, but the debate has so far made little use of recent palaeontological advances that provide an independent perspective on deep sponge evolution. This review summarises the available information, particularly where the fossil record reveals extinct character combinations that directly impinge on our understanding of high-level relationships and evolutionary origins. An evolutionary outline is proposed that includes the major early fossil groups, combining the fossil record with molecular phylogenetics. The key points are as follows. (1) Crown-group sponge classes are difficult to recognise in the fossil record, with the exception of demosponges, the origins of which are now becoming clear. (2) Hexactine spicules were present in the stem lineages of Hexactinellida, Demospongiae, Silicea and probably also Calcarea and Porifera; this spicule type is not diagnostic of hexactinellids in the fossil record. (3) Reticulosans form the stem lineage of Silicea, and probably also Porifera. (4) At least some early-branching groups possessed biminerallic spicules of silica (with axial filament) combined with an outer layer of calcite secreted within an organic sheath.

Since the original description of its type species (R. destombesi Ubaghs, 1963), three successive revisions of the genus Rhopalocystis have led to the erection of nine additional species. The morphological disparity within this genus is here critically reassessed on the basis of both historical material and new recently collected samples. The detailed examination of all specimens, coupled with morphometric and cladistic analyses, points toward a relatively strong support for five morphotypes.
