Abstract

This paper describes twenty brachiopod species in eleven genera from the Bashkirian-Moscovian sediments of the western Kunlun Mountains, northwest China. Four brachiopod assemblages are recognized including: the early Bashkirian Productus productus-Ovatia karawuyiensis Assemblage, the late Bashkirian Antiquatonia taiyuanfuensis-Eomarginifera lata Assemblage, the early Moscovian Choristites radiculosus-c. abnormalis Assemblage and the late Moscovian Purdonella artuxensis-Punctospirifer Assemblage. Three new species are proposed herein: Rugosochonetes tarimensis, Ovatia karawuyiensis and Choristites ustritskyi.

Résumé

Vingt espèces de brachiopodes, réparties dans onze genres, sont décrites provenant de sédiments bashkiriens-moscoviensdes Montagnes Kurum occidentales (NW Chine). Quatre associations de brachiopodes sont reconnues: l'association Productus productus-Ovatia karawuyiensis du Bashkirien inférieur, Antiquatonia taiyuanfuensis-Eomarginifera lata du Bashkirien supérieur, l'association Choristites radiculosus-C. abnormalis du Moscovien inférieur, et l'association Purdonella artuxensis-Punctospirifer du Moscovien supérieur. Trois nouvelles espèces sont proposées: Rugosochonetes tarimensis, Ovatia karawuyiensis et Choristites ustritskyi.
