Overview

Exploration identifies Britanniclus rankini and re-evaluates Cyclidae specimens, suggesting new insights into ancient marine life.

Key Points

  • To describe a new occurrence of Britanniclus rankini and to re-evaluate Cyclidae specimens from Scotland.
  • Described specimens from Blairskaith Quarry and Trearne.
  • Identified species based on morphological features.
  • Recorded first occurrence of Britanniclus in the Lower Limestone Formation.
  • Brittaniclus rankini was found below the Blackhall Limestone.
  • Cyclidae specimens were re-evaluated, leading to identification of Cyclus radialis.
  • A new species, Magnitocyclus trearnensis, was identified from Trearne.
