Referred specimens and Remarks
—At least two possible scales from BC II section: one from level 458.67’ (
139.8 m
), one from level 527.25’ (
160.7 m
) (
Fig. 7C
).
Lanarkia
species
are known mainly from earlier Silurian rocks in
Scotland
, mainland Europe, and arctic
Russia
, as well as in arctic
Canada
(
Märss et al. 2007
). The scale from 527.25’ is most like those called
Thelodus traquairi
by
Gross (1967)
, originally “
Lanarkia costata
” of
Gross, 1947
, from the north German Beyrichienkalk (Bey. 1, early Přidolí) and ones from
Poland
(late Přidolí;
Gross 1947
,
Märss 1997
), which have been referred to
Lanarkia
(
Märss et al. 2007
)
