MIDDLE TRIASSIC SPIRIFEROID MENTZELIIDS (BRACHIOPODA) FROM ALPINE AND MEDITERRANEAN AREAS

Ten species of mentzelioid spiriferids from several Middle Triassic localities of Alpine and Mediterranean areas are analysed both for external and internal characters. The genera Mentzelia, Paramentzelia, Koeveskallina, and the new genus Dagyssia are referred to the subfamily Mentzeliinae, whilst T...
