ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY The hyolith assemblage from the early Cambrian of Bornholm, Denmark, shows a higher diversity than Received 7 September 2017 contemporary assemblages in Baltoscandia. The most common species in the Green Shales (Læså Accepted 22 January 2018 Formation, Norretorp Member, Cambrian Stage 3), is Hyolithes [=Hyolithus] (Orthotheca) johnstrupi Holm, KEYWORDS 1893. A specimen of this species shows a well-preserved and almost complete digestive tract, folded into Orthotheca johnstrupi an approximately 22 mm long chevron-like structure comprised of at least 20 arcuate loops on the ventral revised; digestive tract; side and a flattened, gently sinuous to straight anal tube on the dorsal side. The thin, phosphatic outer early Cambrian; Bornholm; shell layer of the conch is crushed under the digestive tract due to compaction while the digestive tract Denmark is preserved in three dimensions and appears undisturbed. The shape of the digestive tract is similar to that of the middle Cambrian Guduguwan hardmani (Etheridge) from Australia and the lower Cambrian specimens from Russia described by Meškova & Sysoev. The Danish specimen is probably an adult, lending support to the idea that the orthothecid digestive tract becomes more complex during ontogeny. Hyolithus (Orthotheca) johnstrupi is revised and here referred to Circotheca Sysoev, 1958.

Bornholm specimen is younger than hyoliths with preserved digestive tracts from the Terranuevian of Montagne Noire (Devaere et al. 2014).

The digestive tract Hyolithids with soft parts preserved are generally rare but Moysiuk et al. (2017) reported more than 200 hyolithid spec- imens of Haplophrentis Babcock & Robison, 1988 from the Burgess Shale and Spence Shale Lagerstätten in western North America with preserved soft tissues. However, the digestive tract from Circotheca johnstrupi is only the third occurrence from the early Cambrian to be reported. Meškova & Sysoev 1981 isolated two fragments of digestive tracts from the early Cambrian of Siberia. These were extracted from the matrix by acetic acid and although associated with several hyolithids and orthothecids, were not referable to any genera or species. Recently, Devaere et al. (2014) recorded a substantial number of specimens of the species Conotheca subcurvata Yu, 1974 from the early Cambrian (Terraneuvian) of Montagne Noire, France with digestive tracts preserved.

GFF 29 could be examined, and it also revealed the previously partly obscured operculum and ventral side of the conch, also allowing a latex cast to be made (Fig. 3C, E). The shape of the digestive tract of Circotheca johnstrupi is closer to that of Guduguwan hardmani (Etheridge in Foord, 1890) from the middle Cambrian of the Northern Territory in Australia (Kruse 1997) than those known from the early Cambrian of Montagne Noire, France (Devaere et al. 2014, Fig. 10). However, its morphology is similar to that described by Meškova & Sysoev (1981) from the early Cambrian specimens of Siberia. Devaere et al. (2014) suggested that a simple U-shaped diges- tive tract represents an early stage of development in orthothe- cid hyoliths, the folding advancing at later growth stages of the animal. All specimens of Circotheca johnstrupi from the lower Cambrian of Bornholm are remarkably uniform in size, and very few are so small that they can be regarded as juvenile. The spec- imen with the digestive tract is most likely an adult individual, which lend support to the suggestion by Devaere et al. (2014). Although without early stages with a preserved digestive tract, we can only see the final development. The discussion of dorsal/ventral position in hyoliths is closely related to the mode of life and in several hypotheses, among oth- ers discussed by Yochelson (1961), Fisher (1962), Marek (1963), Runnegar et al. (1975), Marek & Yochelson (1976), Sysoev (1973, 1976, 1984), Dzik (1980), Kruse (1997), and Marek et al. (1997). The latter authors regarded the inferred dorsal/ventral position and orientation of the gut in the single Australian specimen described by Kruse (1997), where the flat side was interpreted as dorsal, as a ‘preservational oddity’. The view of Kruse (1997) has not since been endorsed and the inflated part of the conch in both hyolithids and orthothecids has been considered as dorsal. In a conch with a nearly circular cross section, the maximum width of the digestive tract must be less than the diameter of the conch. Once free of assumed organic filaments keeping it in place, the intestine has a much greater chance to move in a nearly circular conch if this is being turned upside down or rolled. This means it can end up in any position relative to the operculum. The conch coquina on the bedding plane shown by Kruse (1997, Fig. 2A) indicates a high energy environment. Thus, it is likely that tumbling of the intestine took place, which explains its upside down orientation.

Systematic palaeontology Remarks. – In a footnote Holm (1893, p. 7) explains the reason for spelling the genus Hyolithus rather than the nowadays still widely used Hyolithes introduced by Eichwald (1840), pointing out that it was entymologically incorrect, and he would use ‘the only correct form of the name Hyolithus’ (translated here).

Holm (1893) noted that this species was similar to Hyolithus The species is assigned to Circotheca Sysoev, 1958 under the (Orthotheca) degeeri Holm, 1893, but types of the latter are revised concept of this genus given by Berg-Madsen & Malinky incompletely preserved, and indeed, Holm himself even sug- (1999). This species differs from the type species C. styla, in hav- gested that better preserved specimens of that species may show ing transverse ornament only, and from both the Ordovician it to be the same as Circotheca johnstrupi. Ironically, it is the name C. caperai Marek, 1983 from Montagne Noire, France, and C. of the former that has come to be widely used for conical fossils neptis Marek, 1989 from the Barrandian Area, Czech Republic, in the Cambrian (see Malinky & Berg-Madsen 1999, pp. 54, 55 by having a ventral ligula-like apertural projection. Although for details of ‘O.’ degeeri), whereas it is the later species that is far the aperture on all specimens of C. johnstrupi is incomplete, the better preserved. Cobbold (1919) noted that the cross section of presence of the projection is certain, having been inferred from 32 V. BERG-MADSEN ET AL.

& Bengtson 1989; Malinky & Berg-Madsen 1999 and references therein). Many of these fossils are poorly preserved moulds and casts of uncertain affinity. Use of the name Circotheca for any of them distorts the geographical and stratigraphical distribution of that genus. However, C. johnstrupi (Holm, 1893) demonstrates that authentic Circotheca has a range of at least lower to middle Cambrian. Circotheca johnstrupi (Holm, 1893) is by far the most common hyolith in the Norretorp Member but has so far not been found elsewhere in Scandinavia. The species is found at several locali- ties representing the lower and middle part of the member. The specimens are preserved either as internal moulds, partly empty conchs or as external mould of the conchs. The conchs often con- tain single strands or sheets of microbial growth which eventually develop to solid phosphate filling the conch completely, as also demonstrated by Devaere et al. (2014). Reconstructions after Holm’s illustrations ofCircotheca john- strupi have frequently been published, but most authors did not distinguish between hyolithids and orthothecids (see synonymy list). A reconstruction showing Hyolithes johnstrupi with helens (exclusively found in hyolithids) was published by Rasmussen (1966), which since then has been reproduced in textbooks, pop- ular literature and recently on internet at least 10 times in most cases as Hyolithes or a hyolithid (see for instance Rasmussen 1969, p. 290; Poulsen & Poulsen 1975, p. 57, text-Fig. 43). We refrain from listing all these publications, except for those works where the reconstruction is illustrated next to a photograph of the lectotype MGUH 1507.

We have some doubt that the operculum MGUH 1508 slightly flattened. The incomplete preservation of the latter species labelled as part of the type series is the one figured in Holm precludes further comparison (Malinky & Berg-Madsen 1999). (1893, pl. 1, Fig. 31). It is slightly chipped, positioned so that Holm (1893, pl. 1, Fig. 71) also noted that the conch (i.e. it is difficult to angle for a drawing and it is difficult to see any MGUH 1514, Fig. 5C, D) may have as many as seven septa, but details without colouring it dark and whitening with ammonium because of preservation, the exact number may be difficult to chloride sublimate (Fig. 6A, B). Another specimen available to determine. Several other specimens of Circotheca johnstrupi also Holm, but not labelled as part of the type series, MGUH 31852 reveal two or more septa of which the best preserved are those (Fig. 6C, D), seems to be a better match as it is perfectly preserved in MGUH 31848 (Fig. 3A, H). and details would be easy to delineate in a drawing. The size of Circotheca johnstrupi is a definitive representative of the two afore-mentioned specimens is about equal and matches Circotheca from the lower Cambrian.
