  • Late Frasnian Athyridida (Brachiopoda) from Poland and the Late Devonian Biotic Turnover
    Late Frasnian Athyridida (Brachiopoda) from Poland and the Late Devonian biotic turnover TATJANA A. GRUNT and GRZEGORZ RACKI Grunt, T.A. & Racki, G. 1998. Late Frasnian Athyridida (Brachiopoda) from Poland and the Late Devonian biotic turnover.- Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 43,2,36I-j78. Late Frasnian representatives of the order Athyridida from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, support the idea that the Laurussian basins were the places of origin and radiation of the subfamilies Athyridinae and Meristinae during the middle and early late Paleozoic. At least three new species have been identified from two localities (Łgawa Hill and Kowala) in the Gałęztce Syncline. of these, one was probaby endemic (Merista rhe- nanensis sp. n.; maybe also ?Zonathyris sp. A), and two (Athyris postconcentrica sp. n. and Pachyplacoides postgyralea gen. et sp. n.) were more widely distributed in this part of the Laurussian shelĘ being known also from the East European Platform and Rheini- sches Schiefergebirge, respectively. This confums an intermediate biogeographic posi- tion of the Holy Cross Mountains area, belonging to an important centre of brachiopod origin and diversification. In contrast to other articulate brachiopods, athyńdids reveal a higher rate of diversification, especially at the species (and partly also generic) level, during the global Kellwasser Crisis.

  • Bryozoan Studies 2019
    BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Edited by Patrick Wyse Jackson & Kamil Zágoršek Czech Geological Survey 1 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 2 Dedication This volume is dedicated with deep gratitude to Paul Taylor. Throughout his career Paul has worked at the Natural History Museum, London which he joined soon after completing post-doctoral studies in Swansea which in turn followed his completion of a PhD in Durham. Paul’s research interests are polymatic within the sphere of bryozoology – he has studied fossil bryozoans from all of the geological periods, and modern bryozoans from all oceanic basins. His interests include taxonomy, biodiversity, skeletal structure, ecology, evolution, history to name a few subject areas; in fact there are probably none in bryozoology that have not been the subject of his many publications. His office in the Natural History Museum quickly became a magnet for visiting bryozoological colleagues whom he always welcomed: he has always been highly encouraging of the research efforts of others, quick to collaborate, and generous with advice and information. A long-standing member of the International Bryozoology Association, Paul presided over the conference held in Boone in 2007. 3 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Contents Kamil Zágoršek and Patrick N.

  • Devonian Bryozoans of the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland
    ACT A PAL A EON T 0 LOG ICA POLONICA Vol. XVIII 1973 No.4 MARIA KIEPURA DEVONIAN BRYOZOANS OF THE HOLY CROSS MOUNTAINS, POLAND. PART II. CYCLOSTOMATA AND CYSTOPORATA Abstract. - Descriptions are given of 33, species of Middle Devonian Bryozoa from the Holy Cross Mts., belonging to the orders Cyclostomata and Cystoporata. Cyclo­ stomata are represented by 26 species (4 new: Corynotrypa (Corynotrypa) skalensis, C. (C.) basiplata, Stomatopora varigemmata and Diversipora bitubulata n. gen.). Cystoporata are represented by 7 new species: Ceramoporella orbiculata, C. grandi­ cystica, Favositella integrimuralis, Fistulipora boardmani, F. emphantica, Cyclotrypa nekhoroshevi and Fistuliramus astrovae. The systematic assignment of the genus Hederella Hall, 1881 has been discussed and the "tabulate-like" microstructure of the zooecial walls of this genus examined. In addition, the epifauna and associated assemblages have been characterized as well as the geological and palaeoecological conditions in which the described Bryozoa occurred. INTRODUCTION Among the Middle Devonian Bryozoa of the Holy Cross Mts., the present author has, up to now, described Ctenostomata (Kiepura, 1965). The present paper is a continuation of her investigations on the Middle Devonian Bryozoa of this region and contains descriptions of 33 species belonging to 9 genera of the orders Cyclostomata and Cystoporata occur­ ring in the Grzegorzowice - Skaly profile. The bryozoan collection of the Palaeozoological Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences also contains a rich material representing the orders Trepostomata and Cryptostomata from the Middle Devonian of the Holy Cross Mts., which will be described at a future date. The material described in the present paper was collected by the author during several years of fieldwork (1950-1954).

  • Brachiopods from the Mobarak Formation, North Iran
    GeoArabia, 2011, v. 16, no. 3, p. 129-192 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Tournaisian (Mississippian) brachiopods from the Mobarak Formation, North Iran Maryamnaz Bahrammanesh, Lucia Angiolini, Anselmo Alessandro Antonelli, Babak Aghababalou and Maurizio Gaetani ABSTRACT Following detailed stratigraphic work on the Mississippian marlstone and bioclastic limestone of the Mobarak Formation of the Alborz Mountains in North Iran, forty-eight of the most important brachiopod taxa are here systematically described and illustrated. The ranges of the taxa are given along the Abrendan and Simeh Kuh stratigraphic sections, located north of Damgham. The examined brachiopod species date the base of the Mobarak Formation to the Tournaisian, in absence of age-diagnostic foraminifers. Change in brachiopod settling preferences indicates a shift from high energy, shallow-water settings with high nutrient supply in the lower part of the formation to quieter, soft, but not soppy substrates, with lower nutrient supply in the middle part of the Mobarak Formation. Brachiopod occurrence is instead scanty at its top. The palaeobiogeographic affinity of the Tournaisian brachiopods from North Iran indicates a closer relationship to North America, Western Europe and the Russian Platform than to cold-water Australian faunas, confirming the affinity of the other biota of the Alborz Mountains. This can be explained by the occurrence of warm surface-current gyres widely distributing brachiopod larvae across the Palaeotethys Ocean, where North Iran as other peri- Gondwanan blocks acted as staging-posts. INTRODUCTION The Mississippian Mobarak Formation of the Alborz Mountains (North Iran) has been recently revised by Brenckle et al. (2009) who focused mainly on its calcareous microfossil biota and refined its biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and paleogeography.

Two distinct classes of myxozoans, Myxosporea and Malacosporea, are characterized by profound differences in rDNA evolution and well supported by differential biological and developmental features. This notwithstanding, most of the existing Myxosporea subtaxa require revision in the light of molecular phylogeny data.
