Abstract
New records of linguliform brachiopods from the Middle Ordovician of Argentina, coming from the base of the Gualcamayo Formation, are described and illustrated. The sampled levels correspond to the first 3 m at the Potrerillos Creek section, Argentine Precordillera of San Juan, assigned to the lower part of the Baltoniodus navis Zone (middle Dapingian). The fauna consists of the lingulids Palaeoglossa? sp., Elliptoglossa vulgaris Hansen and Holmer and Paterula sp., together with the acrotretids Conotreta andina Lavié, Serra and Feltes, Scaphelasma zharykensis Popov, Torynelasma? sp., Numericoma simplex?, and Eoconulus sp. This relatively diverse association is the first of Dapingian age in the Cuyania terrane with a mixed fauna, which shows affinities with the regions of Baltica, Bohemia, Avalonia, South China, and Laurentia.
期刊介绍:
Palaeoworld is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal dedicated to the study of past life and its environment. We encourage submission of original manuscripts on all aspects of palaeontology and stratigraphy, comparisons of regional and global data in time and space, and results generated by interdisciplinary investigations in related fields. Some issues will be devoted entirely to a special theme whereas others will be composed of contributed articles. Palaeoworld is dedicated to serving a broad spectrum of geoscientists and palaeobiologists as well as serving as a resource for students in fields as diverse as palaeobiology, evolutionary biology, taxonomy and phylogeny, geobiology, historical geology, and palaeoenvironment.
Palaeoworld publishes original articles in the following areas:
•Phylogeny and taxonomic studies of all fossil groups
•Biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy
•Palaeoecology, palaeoenvironment and global changes throughout Earth history
•Tempo and mode of biological evolution
•Biological events in Earth history (e.g., extinctions, radiations)
•Ecosystem evolution
•Geobiology and molecular palaeobiology
•Palaeontological and stratigraphic methods
•Interdisciplinary studies focusing on fossils and strata
