Diverse brachiopods associated.

Abstract ref. 1606.
In the following 31 brachiopod genera and 56 species from the Heller Crinoidenschutt- und Riffkalk of the Seewarte
    Mt. are described. They belong to the superfamilies Pentameracea, Rhynchonellacea, Atrypacea, Retziacea,
    Athyridacea, Cyrtiacea, Spiriferacea, Crytinacea and Reticulariacea. Pugnax ? scupini is erected as a new species.
    Uncinulus sp., Parapugnax sp., Stenorhynchia aff. nympha, Atrypa (Planatrypa) n. sp., Carinatina n. sp., Rhynchatrypa
    aff. thetis and Striispirifer sp. are listed under open nomenclature because they require a future more complete
    investigation based on additional material. The brachiopod-fauna of the Carnic Alps is closely related to that of the Barandian area. This relation becomes most obvious when compared to the brachiopod community of the Pragian Koneprusy Limestones of Central Bohemia. Furthermore the connections to Lower Devonian brachiopod assemblages of the Ural, Altai and Salair (USSR) can be demonstrated. The faunas of the Armorican Massiv (Limestones of Erbray, Trench of La Lezais), Marokko (Limestones of the Tafilalt) and the Harz Mts. (Princeps-Limestone) are also comparable to that of the Carnic Alps.
