Abstract
Silicified Early Devonian (Lochkovian;eurekaensis Zone) brachiopods from the Windellama Limestone of south-eastern Australia are documented. New taxa consist of one new genus, a schizophoriid,Pelecymya, type speciesP. caperata sp. nov., 9 other new species,Morinorhynchus trypeter, Asymmetrochonetes picketti, Hadrorhynchia? attinarum, Sphaerirhynchia? mastodon, Ambothyris? inopis. Howellella placeotextilis, Howellella alatextilis, Howellella legirupa, andReticulariopsis saginatus, and 2 new subspecies,Schizophoria antiqua erugata, andGypidula pelagica lunata. Though a typical Old World fauna, it has little resemblance to previously documented Late Silurian-Early Devonian (Ludlow-Lochkovian) brachiopod faunas, including silicified faunas, from elsewhere in Australia. Also documented are the poorly preserved brachiopods from the clastic and volcaniclastic Tangerong Formation (Early Devonian; ?Pragian) overlying the Windellama Limestone.
