A common occurrence of the widely distributed Cambrian agnostid Condylopyge HAWLE et CORDA, 1847 in the Skryje-Týřovice Basin has been well known since the forties of the nineteenth century. In comparison very rare specimens of Condylopyge in the Příbram-Jince Basin were collected as late as in 1992. In this contribution, five disarticulated remains of Condylopyge are reported from three different stratigraphical levels of the Jince Formation in the Příbram-Jince Basin (Barrandian area, the Czech Republic). An internal mould of a small broken cephalon and an external mould of a pygidium collected from lower stratigraphical levels of the Paradoxides (Eccaparadoxides) pusillus Biozone are provisionally assigned to Condylopyge cf. rex (BARRANDE, 1846), as is also a well preserved internal mould of another cephalon originating from lower part of the Onymagnostus hybridus Biozone. The internal mould of the cephalon figured by Valíček and Szabad (2002) from the lower levels of the Acadolenus snajdri Biozone is classified as Condylopyge sp.
Litavkaspis rejkovicensis Fatka, Kordule et Šnajdr from the Příbram-Jince Basin has been known to occur in a roughly 30 m thick eponymous Taxon-range Zone situated in the lower parts of the Jince Formation (Cambrian, Drumian), within the Eccaparadoxides pusillus Interval Zone. A unique finding of a cranidium of Litavkaspis sp. at the locality Jince-Vystrkov, described in this report, comes from the middle parts of the Paradoxides gracilis Taxon-range Zone, lying roughly 250 m higher than the hitherto known biostratigraphically youngest occurrence of the index taxon. Specimens of Dawsonia bohemica (Šnajdr) from the Jince Formation have been collected exclusively in about 1 m thick deposits of the eponymous Taxon-range Zone situated stratigraphically at the base of the Onymagnostus hybridus Interval Zone. The findings of Dawsonia cf. bohemica presented herein come from the localities Rejkovice – Potůček in the Litavkaspis rejkovicensis Taxon-range Zone, and Rejkovice – Ve žlutých in the Acadolenus snajdri Interval Zone. Their stratigraphic positions are therefore 30–50 m lower than the typical occurrence of Dawsonia bohemica (Šnajdr) in the eponymous Taxon-range Zone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
