Abstract
Three stratigraphical sections and several outcrops through the upper Silurian graptolite shales of the Muhurr area, Albania have been revised. Based on a new detailed re-examination and re-evaluation of graptolite collections and previously unpublished and published studies, a biozonal scheme with much new biostratigraphical data is established. The graptolite assemblages are dominated by Monograptidae: Neodiversograptus, Saetograptus, Bohemograptus, Colonograptus, Pseudomonoclimacis and Lobograptus which are associated with several Retiolitidae. A total of 37 graptolite species has been identified; selected important species are illustrated. The present study recognized and defined the following seven upper Silurian graptolite biozones: nilssoni and scanicus-chimaera in the Gorstian Stage, leintwardinensis, tenuis and formosus in the Ludfordian Stage and parultimus-ultimus and perneri in the Přídolí Series.
