Bryozoa from the Upper Ordovician Dalmanitina Beds of Kinnekulle, Sweden

Abstract

The bryozoan fauna from the Dalmanitina Beds at Kinnekulle in Västergötland, comprising thirteen species, is similar to that from Borenshult in Östergötland, but differs from known contemporary faunas from Dalarna, Öjle Myr (Gotland) and Porkuni (Estonia). The Kinnekulle fauna is dominated by Clathropora bifurcata (Brood), Nematopora sublineata Männil and Eridotrypella crassa n.sp.; the latter is described, together with Phylloporina kinnekullensis n.sp.
