The papers that form this Bulletin describe differ­ ent groups of fossils that are important to correlation in the sedimentary basins of northern and western Canada, and consequently of relevance to petroleum explora­ tion which is so dependent on accurate stratigraphic interpretation.

THE EARLY CANADIAN (TREMADOCIAN) TRILOBITES CLELANDIA AND JUJUY ASPIS FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CANADA by B. S. Norford Abstract Five species are described from the lower part of the Survey Peak Formation of southwest Alberta and adjacent British Columbia. Clelandia texana Winston and Nicholls, C. albertensis new species, and Jujuyaspis borealis Kobayashi are from the Symphysurina-Euloma Zone (Zone A); Clelandia utahensis Ross and the new species C. wilsoni are from the Bellefontia-Xenostegium Zone (Zone B). These two zones are the basal zones of the Canadian in western North America. They are of Tremadocian age, and are either Lower Ordovician or Upper Cam­ brian, depending upon whether the Tremadoc Series is included in the Ordovician or in the Cambrian.The bases of these zones are defined by the first appearances of Symphysurina and Bellefontia. Clelandia and Jujuyaspis seem to be restricted to rocks of Tremadocian age. The type species of Clelandia is redescribed.

    New Fossil Finds from the Cambro-Silurian Meta-Sediments on Hardangervidda

    New Fossil Finds from the Cambro-Silurian Meta-sediments on Hardangervidda ARILD ANDRESEN Andresen, A. 1974: New fossil finds from the Cambro-Silurian meta-sedi ments on Hardangervidda. Norges geol. Unders. 304, 55-60. The occurrence of Actinoceroid cephalopods {Ormoceras (?) sp.), brachiopods {Orthis ss.), and trilobites {Ptycbopyge sp.) in a crystalline limestone over lying bluish quartzite on Hardangervidda indicates that Orthoceras Limestone of the Lower Ordovician Asaphus Series (Etage 3c) is present. The underlying quartzites are correlated with stage 3a-3b in the Oslo Region. A. Andresen, Mineralogisk-Geologisk Museum, Sarsgt. 1, Oslo 5, Norway Introduction Hardangervidda (Fig. 1) is, outside the Oslo Region, one of the largest areas in Norway where Cambro-Silurian sediments of eastern facies (foreland fac ies) are exposed. The stratigraphy and structure of these rocks are not very well known, partly because of the inaccessibility of the area, and partly due to the intense deformation and lack of fossiliferous beds. Even though the fossils described in this paper are badly preserved, making identification of species in some cases uncertain and in other cases impossible, they give some information about the Cambro-Silurian stratigraphy. The earliest contribution to the geology of Hardangervidda was made by Dahll (1861), who reported fossiliferous beds with Dictyonema flabelliforme (2e in the stratigraphic sequence of the Oslo Region) from Holberget (Fig. 1). Later, Brøgger (1893), after more detailed mapping, established a strati graphic sequence for the rocks overlying the Precambrian basement. In this sequence all the rocks above the Precambrian basement were assumed to be in a normal succession. The subdivision he established was, from the base upwards: 1, Alum shale; 2, Quartizite; 3, Crystalline limestone (marble); 4, Phyllites; 5, Various crystalline rocks.

Eufemia 19, I- 41100 Modena (Italy); [email protected] Paolo Serventi - Dipartimento del Museo di Paleobiologia e dell’Orto Botanico, via Università 4, I-41100 Modena (Italy); [email protected] ABSTRACT - The complete faunal list of nautiloid cephalopods from the Silurian of Sardinia has been compiled herein. A history leading to the present state of knowledge on this fossil group, achieved after forty years of extensive study, is reviewed. A total of 61 species assigned to 38 genera are known from the Wenlock-Pridoli of southern Sardinia. The fauna strongly supports links with coeval associations of Bohemia and, to a lesser extent, with the Carnic Alps. KEY WORDS - Silurian, Sardinia, Cephalopods, Palaeogeography. INTRODUCTION This paper represents the nautiloid cephalopod sum up of more than forty years of scientific activity within the informal International Group on the Palaeozoic Palaeontology headed by Prof. Enrico Serpagli, who devoted most of his research to the Italian Palaeozoic outcrops mainly in two areas, the Carnic Alps and southern Sardinia. During these years, many field trips have been carried out in Sardinia allowing the collection of an enormous amount of samples studied in detail in their palaeontological (either taxonomic or biostratigraphical) content by Italian, German, English, Irish, Spanish, Swedish and Czech members of the research team.

Abstract: The organodetritic and organogenic limestones under study have been assigned to Goa Zone and Goßmu Subzone. In the systematic part the follow­ ing species have been described: Goniatites crenistria Phill., G. ex gr. crenistria Phill., G. sphaericostriatus Bisat, G. robustus Moore et Hod., G. cf. m ucro- natus (K n о p p), Goniatites sp., Muensteroceras truncatum (Phil 1.), M. sp. cf. jo u r- nieri (Del épine), Nomismoceras vittiger (P hill.), Glyphiolobus pseudodiscrepans (Moor e). Correlation of discussed profiles is based on both paleontological and geological investigations. INTRODUCTION Notwithstanding a considerable advance in the studies on the Gałęziee syncline (e.g. Ż а к o w a 1970 a, b, 1971 a; Jachowicz, Żakowa, 1969; Jurkiewicz, Żak o w a, 1972), not all the problems concerning the stratigraphy of the Carboniferous rocks have been- satisfactorily elucidated. The present paper deals with the stratigraphy of the Upper Visean calcareous rocks (visible in outcrops) and their lateral equivalents* i.e. calcareous-clayey rocks (known from boreholes). According to Czarnocki (1965) and Kwiatkowski (1959), the calcareous rocks represent the whole Visean, whereas Czarniec­ ki, Kostecka and Kwiatkowski (1965) are of the opinion that they belong to D3_2zones only.

Wassonville Member of the Hampton Formation in southeastern SYNOPSIS: Lower Mississippian rocks in the type area of North Iowa and the Chouteau Limestone of Missouri fall within the America have produced only a few scattered ammonoid cephalo­ lower "Pericyclus-Stufe" of the upper Tournaisian Stage as these pods. Those specimens from southeastern Iowa and northwestern units are designated for the early Lower Carboniferous of Western Missouri lie within the general vicinity of the designated type Europe.
