Abstract
A low diversity Sinuites community from the Floian, Lower Ordovician, of South Wales
Highlights
A low diversity Sinuites-dominated gastropod community is described from the Floian, Arenig Series, of the Llangynog Inlier, southwest of Carmarthen, South Wales
The locality has an exceptionally diverse mollusc-dominated fauna (63.5% of the fauna), with gastropods constituting 6% and tergomyans 1% and echinoderms, arthropods and other fauna making up the rest
Ordovician species of Carcassonnella are typically found in France, Iberia, Czech Republic, and Morocco, while species of Mimospira are found in Germany and Czech Republic, and in Baltica where the main radiation took place later
Summary
A low diversity Sinuites-dominated gastropod community is described from the Floian, Arenig Series, of the Llangynog Inlier, southwest of Carmarthen, South Wales. The abundant material comes from shallow-water siltstone and mudstone beds of the Bolahaul Member of the Ogof Hên Formation. The locality has an exceptionally diverse mollusc-dominated fauna (63.5% of the fauna), with gastropods constituting 6% and tergomyans 1% and echinoderms, arthropods and other fauna making up the rest.
