Abstract
ABSTRACT Suecipora ebbestadi gen. n. sp. n. (Bryozoa) is described from the Upper Ordovician of Siljan District, Dalarna, central Sweden. This taxon is characterized by long peristome-like tubes with keel-shaped projections, as well as apparent angular kenozooecia. These morphologies are regarded being homologous to the post-Palaeozoic cyclostomes. Colonies of Suecipora are mainly multilayered developed by budding of new sheets from peristome-like tubes. The morphology of Suecipora suggests its adaptation to an environment with soft substrate and strong sediment influx. It is supposed that the colonies of this bryozoan were partially elutriated and experienced fresh water diagenesis.
期刊介绍:
GFF is the journal of the Geological Society of Sweden. It is an international scientific journal that publishes papers in English covering the whole field of geology and palaeontology, i.e. petrology, mineralogy, stratigraphy, systematic palaeontology, palaeogeography, historical geology and Quaternary geology. Systematic descriptions of fossils, minerals and rocks are an important part of GFF''s publishing record. Papers on regional or local geology should deal with Balto-Scandian or Northern European geology, or with geologically related areas. Papers on geophysics, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, climatology and hydrology should have a geological context. Descriptions of new methods (analytical, instrumental or numerical), should be relevant to the broad scope of the journal. Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited occasionally. Thematic issues are also possible.
