Description
Summary:Buchia spp. 2011 Buchia sp. —Hammer et al., fig. 7i, tab. 2. Material examined. 156 specimens. See Appendix 1 for the list of specimens. Remarks. Species of the genus Buchia are considered valuable index fossils in Oxfordian to Hauterivian strata and are used for biostratigraphic subdivisions (e.g. Jeletzky 1966; Kauffman 1973; Zakharov 1981; Surlyk & Zakharov 1982). The Svalbard seep buchiids probably represent Buchia okensis (Pavlow, 1907), Buchia volgensis (Lahusen, 1888) and Buchia cf. inflata (Lahusen, 1888). A separate paper is planned to formally describe them, and their stratigraphic significance in relation to the ammonite stratigraphy of Wierzbowski et al. (2011). Palaeoecology. Buchia species were epifaunal byssally attached suspension-feeders (e.g. Wignall & Pickering 1993, fig. 7), often clustering around hard structures (e.g. shells, rocks) providing a substrate for byssal attachment (Fürsich 1982). The species of the genus had a broad ecological tolerance and were present in a variety ... : Published as part of Hryniewicz, Krzysztof, Little, Crispin T.
