Abstract
SummaryThe brachiopod fauna of the Gorran Quartzites of south Cornwall is described; it comprises five orthid genera. Three taxa are described under open nomenclature, and one new species is assigned to a new genus (Schalidomorthis stubblefieldi). The fauna supports the Llandeilo age suggested by accompanying trilobites. There is no brachiopod evidence to indicate that the quartzite pebbles of the Triassic Budleigh Salterton Pebble Bed are derived directly from the Ordovician of Cornwall.
