Description
Summary:Nejstarší výskyt rodu Cyrtina (Brachiopoda, Cyrtinidina) v devonu Barrandienu (Česká republika) je uveden z kotýských vápenců lochkovského souvrství z lokality v okolí Bubovic na Berounsku. Je to stratigraficky první výskyt v českém devonu, který odpovídá výskytům tohoto rodu i jinde ve světě. Jako jinde, i v Barrandienu je výskyt omezen na relativně mělkovodní prostředí s bohatou ramenonožcovou, krinoidovou a korálovou faunou. The earliest known Cyrtina in the Prague Basin has been discovered in the Kotýs Limestone of the Lochkov Formation (Lochkovian) among a rich brachiopod-coral fauna at Branžovy ridge near Bubovice (Beroun District, Czechia). Rare and imperfectly preserved silicified shells are assigned to Cyrtina praecedens Kozłovski, 1929, a species originally described from Podolia, Ukraine. The species is known also in north-eastern Russia (Tajmyr and Sette-Daban Mts) and likely also in New South Wales, Australia. Its distribution provides evidence of the rapid spread of Cyrtina across the shallow shelves of Laurussia, Siberia and Gondwana in the Early Devonian. The Devonian and Carboniferous distribution of Cyrtina is restricted to the agitated, shallow-water carbonate environment in tropical and temperate climatic belts.
