Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) thelodonts from October Revolution Island (Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago, Russia)

Creators

  • 1. Institute of Geology of Lithuania, Ševčenkos 13, Vilnius LR 2600 (Lithuania) vtalimaa@takas.lt Two new thelodont species, Turinia composita n. sp. and Nikolivia aligera n. sp., and two already known, Boreania minima Karatajūtē-Talimaa, 1985 and Canonia sp. cf. C. grossi Vieth, 1980, are described. Isolated scales of all of them are distributed at different levels of the Pod''emnaya Formation outcropping along the Matusevich, Pod"emnaya and Spokojnaya rivers. Thelodont assemblage from the lower part of the Formation allows a correlation with the Lochkovian series of Laurussia, e.g., with the lower Lochkovian part of Canadian Arctic. Thélodontes du Dévonien inférieur (Lochkovien) de l'Île de la Révolution d'Octobre (Archipel de Severnaya Zemlya, Russie). Deux nouvelles espèces de thélodontes, Turinia composita n. sp. et Nikolivia aligera n. sp., et deux espèces déjà connues, Boreania minima Karatajūtē- Talimaa, 1985 et Canonia sp. cf. C. grossi Vieth, 1980, sont décrites. Les écailles isolées de ces espèces sont distribuées à différents niveaux de la Formation Pod"emnaya située le long des rivières Matusevich, Pod"emnaya et Spokojnaya. L'assemblage des thélodontes de la partie inférieure de la formation permet une corrélation avec les séries lochkoviennes de la Laurussie, e.g., avec le Lochkovien inférieur de l'Arctique canadien.
