... more easterly of the two sections begins close to the base of the formation (Figure 3). There, massive, clotted and digitate thrombolitic microbial mounds are enclosed within bedded muddy limestone at the base of a cliff. ...

... abundant, trilobite fauna occurs in association with brachiopods, cephalopods and gastropods in the Watts Bight Formation, 1.5 km west of Ship Cove (Boyce et al., 2011; Figure 3). Recovered between 11.5 and 33 m above the base of the formation, it comprises the following: ...

... sections at, and just east of, Pigeon Head (Figure 3 and Plates 1, 5; Appendix) that lies 1.95 km west of the Ship Cove section, have yielded new fossil horizons. The Pigeon Head section overlaps with the lower part of Section 6 of Ji and Barnes (1994, page 78 (Cleland, 1900) -previ- ously unknown in the Watts Bight Formation -ranges throughout the section at Pigeon Head. ...

The abundant small shelly fossils (SSFs) from the Cambrian Series 2 recovered from the North China Paltform (NCP) represent an important resource for SSF taxonomy, transcontinental stratigraphic correlations, and palaeogeographic reconstructions (specifically, reconstructing the relative palaeogeographic positions of the NCP). In recent years, many...
Trilobitomorphs are a species-rich Palaeozoic arthropod assemblage that unites trilobites with several other lineages that share similar appendage structure. Post-embryonic development of the exoskeleton is well documented for some trilobitomorphs, especially trilobites, but little is known of the ontogeny of their soft parts, limiting understandin...
The ontogenetic series of the eodiscoid trilobite Pagetia vinusta is first documented, from the crack-out specimens including numerous articulated individuals and many disarticulated sclerites from the Cambrian (Wuliuan) Kaili Formation, Guizhou, southwestern China. Better descriptions of morphological changes during growth are presented, especiall...
A fossil site from the Devonian stratigraphic succession of Rates (Northwest of Portugal) was studied, being representative of a fauna of marine invertebrates typical of this System. The outcrop is located 35 km north of Oporto, an extension of the Palaeozoic units known from the Valongo Anticline. The studied unit consists of yellowish clayey schi...
The Tremadocian of the East Alborz Region is dominated by condensed fine clastic
sediments. These beds have yielded low to medium diversity trilobite associations, which belong to the
olenid, nileid and raphiophorid biofacies, characteristic of an outer shelf environment. Five successive
trilobite biozones can be recognised in the Tremadocian su...
