A Reappraisal of the North American Species of the Siluro-devonian Trilobite Genus Scotiella
نویسنده
چکیده
The type material of Scotiella Delo 1935 is redescribed and the generic diagnosis emended to include trilobites in which the anterior and median lateral glabellar furrows are both strongly and poorly defined. The genus now embraces the species Scotiella logani (Hall 1860), S. conservatrix (McLearn 1924) new combination, S. minor (M'Coy 1851), S. samsonowiczi Tomczykowa 1962b and S. opatowiensis Tomczykowa 1962b. Scotiella obsoleta Ulrich and Delo 1940 is reclassified as Kloucekia (Kloucekia) obsoleta new combination. * Present address: Bureau of Mineral Resources, P.O.

LATE DEVONIAN INDEX BRACHIOPODA OF NORTH-EAST ESFAHAN IN CORRELATION WITH OTHER REGIONS
Abundance and multilateral extension of prominent genus and species of Brachiopoda in the majority of sedimentation series of the Late Devonian have been observed in all parts of Iran. The variability and rapid change in this respect has made it possible to delineate different lines of orthogenetism, biozonation and present biostratigraphical models at the sub-stage level. These characteristics...
متن کاملAlborziphyllinae, A New Late Devonian Rugose Corals Subfamily
Members of the family Laccophyllidae are small, solitary rugose corals with stratigraphic ranges from Silurian to Permian. Among the laccophyllids, axial ends of major septa are united in an aulos and dissepiments may be absent or present. Minor septa can be contratingent and sometimes are small or in some genera are absent. Septa and aulos may be thick or thin. In this study, Famennian rugose...
