On the features of the complex orthambonites pander – orthis dalman (brachiopoda) of the lost outcrops ordovician sediments on the river Pulkovka (Leningrad region)

Article preview

The article analyses a complex of the Ordovician's orthida (brachiopoda) of the lost outcrops on the river Pulkovka in Leningrad region. Some samples from a large collection of brachiopods in the holdings of the Mining Museum are analysed. These samples were collected in the XIX century from some outcrops on the river Pulkovka. The geological sections there were unique outcrops due to a stratigraphic interval from the Lower Cambrian to Middle Ordovician found in them. Many early Palaeozoic marine inverte-brates, such as brachiopods, cystoideas, bolboporits, pelecypods, gastropods, were collected from these sediments. In the middle of the XX century the outcrops on the river Pulkovka were lost as a result of landsliding processes. The authors have identified an orthida's complex in the collection, comprising 12 species. The structure of the complex indicates that the stratigraphic interval, from which brachiopods were collected, can be defined as Volkhov, Kund, Azery horizons of the Middle Ordovician.
