First Occurrence And Biogeographical Significance Of The Operculate Tetracoral Goniophyllum From The Wenlock (Silurian) Of Baillie-Hamilton Island, Canadian Arctic, Anthony J. Wright
First Occurrence And Biogeographical Significance Of The Operculate Tetracoral Goniophyllum From The Wenlock (Silurian) Of Baillie-Hamilton Island, Canadian Arctic, Anthony J. Wright
Anthony Wright
Opercula of the Silurian tetracoral genera Goniophyllum and Rhizophyllum are described from early Wenlock (Sheinwoodian) strata of the Cape Phillips Formation, Baillie-Hamilton Island, Canadian Arctic. This is the first record of Goniophyllum in northern Laurentia, emphasising previously recognised faunal connections of this region with Baltica and Avalonia. As the opercula of Goniophyllum belong mostly to very early juveniles, which have not previously been documented, specific identification is impossible.

Students entering tertiary studies possess a diverse range of prior experiences in their academic preparation for tertiary chemistry so academics need tools to enable them to respond to issues in diversity in conceptual models possessed by entering students. Concept inventories can be used to provide formative feedback to help students identify concepts that they need to address to improve construction of subsequent understanding enabling their learning. Modular, formative learning activities that can be administered inside or outside of class in first year chemistry courses have been developed. These activities address key missing and mis-conceptions possessed by incoming student. Engagement in …
Morphology And Taxonomy Of The Late Silurian Rhynchonellide Brachiopod Notoconchidium, Anthony J. Wright, Michael J. Garratt
Morphology And Taxonomy Of The Late Silurian Rhynchonellide Brachiopod Notoconchidium, Anthony J. Wright, Michael J. Garratt
Anthony Wright
The distinctive brachiopod genus Notoconchidium is known from late Silurian, mostly sandy, shallow marine strata in Tasmania, Victoria and New Zealand. Material from the Zeehan and Wynyard areas (Tasmania), the Whittlesea-Wallan and Heathcote areas (Victoria), and the Wangapeka River area (New Zealand), permits further insight into detailed aspects of morphology and relationships between the previously named species N. tasmaniense, N. florencense and N. thomasi. We conclude that N. thomasi is a junior synonym of N. tasmaniense, but N. florencense is retained as a separate species. New species described are N. talenti and N. argentium. The diamond-shaped septalium of Notoconchidium exhibits, …
Notes On The Early Devonian Brachiopod Leptaena Ouralensis De Verneuil, 1845, Anthony J. Wright
Notes On The Early Devonian Brachiopod Leptaena Ouralensis De Verneuil, 1845, Anthony J. Wright
Anthony Wright
On the basis of the type material, an attempt is made to review the widely reported brachiopod Leptaena ouralensis de Verneuil, 1845, much more commonly known as Megastrophia uralensis (de Verneuil, 1845). Assignment of this species to Megastrophia is still tentative, and many reports of the species, especially those based on crack-out material, must remain doubtful. The species has an established narrow geographic and stratigraphic range to the upper Emsian (upper Lower Devonian) of mostly Siberia, Mongolia and China.
