Abstract
ABSTRACT The Krapperup drill core from Scania (Skåne), southern Sweden, includes one of the most important graptolitic Darriwilian (upper Middle Ordovician) successions of Baltica. Only some intervals have been documented previously and especially the uppermost part of the succession has been completely unknown. A fairly complete succession of mid- to late Darriwilian age provides insight into the early evolution of the axonophoran (biserial) graptolites and demonstrates a distinct biogeographical faunal differentiation during this time. Graptolites from the mid-Darriwilian Holmograptus lentus and Nicholsonograptus fasciculatus biozones are discussed and important specimens and species from the Krapperup drill core are illustrated. Ekstroemograptus inexpectatus n. gen., n. sp. from the Holmograptus lentus Biozone is described as new.
期刊介绍:
GFF is the journal of the Geological Society of Sweden. It is an international scientific journal that publishes papers in English covering the whole field of geology and palaeontology, i.e. petrology, mineralogy, stratigraphy, systematic palaeontology, palaeogeography, historical geology and Quaternary geology. Systematic descriptions of fossils, minerals and rocks are an important part of GFF''s publishing record. Papers on regional or local geology should deal with Balto-Scandian or Northern European geology, or with geologically related areas. Papers on geophysics, geochemistry, biogeochemistry, climatology and hydrology should have a geological context. Descriptions of new methods (analytical, instrumental or numerical), should be relevant to the broad scope of the journal. Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited occasionally. Thematic issues are also possible.
