A new Early Cretaceous articulate brachiopod from the Northwest Territories, Canada, and its paleobiogeographic significance
A new terebratellid brachiopod species, Modestella jeletzkyi n. sp., is described from the Early Cretaceous of Prince Patrick Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. The occurrence extends the paleobiogeographic range of Modestella from northwest Europe into the northern high-latitudes of the North A...
