“…The lectotype displays two circular drill holes perpendicular to shell surface in the umbonal area (Fig. 11B-C) similar to those previously reported in Mississippian brachiopods from the Namur-Dinant Basin (Mottequin & Sevastopulo, 2009;Mottequin & Simon, 2017a, 2017b.…”

“…Currently, based on the features observable on the holotype, Demanet's (1923) species is assigned to Schellwienella Thomas, 1910 but readily cannot be considered as a subspecies of S. crenistria (Phillips, 1836) due to its more inflated dorsal valve. Furthermore, this Schellwienella displays a more transverse outline than that of S. radialiformis Demanet, 1934 from the Tournaisian of the Tournai area (see Mottequin & Simon, 2017b).…”

“…Consequently, the Devonian and Carboniferous lingulide species from southern Belgium previously assigned to the 'catch-all' genus Lingula Bruguière, 1797 still need revised identifications to genera (requiring observations of the internal structures) and their validity is not discussed here. Demanet (1958) and Mortelmans (1969Mortelmans ( , 1973 provided information related to the stratigraphic distribution of the lingulides within the Tournaisian succession of the Tournai area, but the revision of these data is still outstanding (Mottequin & Simon, 2017a, 2017b.…”

Although the Centre Grégoire Fournier of the Maredsous Abbey is especially famous for the fossils and minerals from the Carboniferous (Viséan) ‘black marble’ of Denée, a marine conservation-Lagerstätte, its palaeontological collections likewise include some types and illustrated specimens of invertebrates (cystoids, goniatites, ostracods, trilobites) and fishes from the Ordovician, Devonian and Carboniferous of Belgium. These specimens are discussed and/or illustrated as is the case of the fragments of two Belgian meteorites (Lesves and Tourinnes-la-Grosse chondrites) that are part of the CGF mineralogical and petrological collections. Moreover, the type material of 30 species and subspecies of Upper Devonian–Pennsylvanian linguliformean and rhynchonelliformean brachiopods (described by de Koninck (1847), J. Fraipont (1888a), Ch. Fraipont (1908), Demanet (1923, 1934), Demanet (in Demanet & Van Straelen, 1938), and Grimm (1998)) and that of two Middle–Upper Devonian species of trilobites (Stainier, 1887; Richter & Richter, 1933), almost all from the Namur–Dinant Basin (southern Belgium), are re-investigated and/or fully figured for the first time in order to facilitate future taxonomic revision. The obscure Tournaisian genus Anomianella de Ryckholt (1851) is rejected from the bivalves and transferred to the brachiopods (Craniida). It is probably related to Petrocrania Raymond, 1911. The lectotype (hereby selected) of Orthis latissima M‘Coy, 1844 and that of Producta corrugata M‘Coy, 1844, both from the Viséan of Ireland, are photographically illustrated (for the first time for the former). The lectotype of Productus murchisonianus de Koninck, 1847 from the Upper Palaeozoic of Tasmania (Australia) is also designated.

“…Pulsia and Schellwienella ) and the Schuchertellinae would not have dental plates ( e.g Schuchertella ). Another important structure from the cardinalia to be considered when ascribing brachiopods to Schellwienella is the presence and size of a pseudodeltidium (Isaacson, 1977, 1993), in which specimens possess a large and convex pseudodeltidium (Halamski and Baliński, 2009; Mottequin and Simon, 2017).…”

Schellwienella clarkei (Orthotetida, Brachiopoda): a new species from the Devonian of the Paraná Basin, Brazil

Devonian orthotetides from South America have often been uncritically assigned to a limited number of broadly described species. Schellwienella clarkei n. sp. is described from the Ponta Grossa Formation, Paraná Basin, southern Brazil. These brachiopods had been identified as Schuchertella agassizi. Schellwienella clarkei n. sp. differs from Schuchertella agassizi on the basis of shell structure, dental plates, and cardinalia. UUID: http://zoobank.org/90ebc242-42c3-4bd7-9b63-461df05b6f28

Revisiting the upper Visean mud mounds from Derbyshire (UK): the role of brachiopods in their growth

Several brachiopod-rich mud mounds occur in the upper Visean (Brigantian) of the Derbyshire Carbonate Platform succession in UK. The re-evaluation of the lithofacies architecture of a Derbyshire mud mound complex, developed in an intraplatform middle-ramp environment, led to the recognition of three lithofacies associations: (a) a 10 m thick basal unit of automicrite boundstone with siliceous sponge spicules and brachiopod–bryozoan packstone to wackestone beds; (b) a 10 m thick, 250 m wide, lens-shaped, convex-up massive core of clotted peloidal micrite and fenestellid bryozoan boundstone with sponge spicules; (c) inclined brachiopod–bryozoan–crinoid packstone flank beds. In the mud mound complex core, most of the carbonate mud with clotted peloidal and structureless micrite fabric is the result of biologically induced and influenced in-situ precipitation processes (automicrite). Brachiopods are not, as previously thought, limited to storm-scoured “pockets” in the mud mound complex core but are abundant and diverse in all lithofacies and lived on the irregular mud mound complex surface concentrating in depressions sustained by automicrite boundstone and the growth of bryozoans and sponges. The upper Visean Derbyshire mud mounds are, thus, representatives of a newly defined fenestellid bryozoan–brachiopod–siliceous sponge mud mound category, occurring in various middle–upper Visean Western European sites, a sub-type of the fenestellid bryozoan–crinoid–brachiopod Type 3 buildups of Bridges et al. (1995). These mud mounds, and other types of brachiopod-rich buildups, developed in carbonate platform settings between fair-weather and storm wave base, in dysphotic environments with dispersed food resources during the Visean. Brachiopod mud mound colonisation was favoured by moderate water depth, availability of food resources, and diverse substrates.
