AI Article Synopsis
- Scientists found six types of brachiopods in a place called Atzendorf in Germany, from a long time ago.
- Two species are very common in the area they studied.
- They noticed that one type of brachiopod has been reclassified because of its unique structure, and the group they found in Atzendorf is different from other similar groups in Europe because it lives in deeper water.
Article Abstract
Six brachiopod species, i.e., sp., sp., sp. cf. (Blumenbach, 1803), (Leymerie, 1846), (Bosquet, 1862), and (von Koenen, 1894), have been identified in the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene Silberberg Formation of Atzendorf, Central Germany. The species and dominate the studied assemblage. is here transferred from the family Cancellothyrididae to Chlidonophoridae because it has a loop without united crural processes. has a brachial skeleton of chlidonophorid type, but its transverse band is incomplete. In species composition, the assemblage from Atzendorf differs from other Paleogene and Neogene European assemblages by the absence of megathyridids and dominance of chlidonophorids, indicating a relatively deep environment.
