Microfossils and small shelly fossils from the Lower Cambrian Hyolithes Limestone at Nuneaton, English Midlands
Abstract The Lower Cambrian sequence at Nuneaton is outlined, paying particular attention to the 2 m thick Home Farm Member (including the Hyolithes Limestone) and its faunal succession at the type locality, Woodlands Quarry, Hartshill. There follows the first modern description and illustration of...

Of thirty-two species covered here, twenty are described and illustrated from Nuneaton for the first time and eight of these are new records. The varied fauna includes phosphatic and calcareous microproblematica (especially Coleoloides typicalis ), protoconodonts, agglutinated foraminifera, cap-shaped molluscs, primitive bivalves, hyoliths, inarticulate brachiopods and sponges. The fauna has affinity with fossils in the top Tommotian to lower Atdabanian rocks from Siberia and China, from the Baltic area and the belt from southeast Newfoundland to Massachusetts.
