A new collection provided some brachiopods assigned to Lacunosella hoheneggeri, Pygope diphya and P. janitor from the lower Tithonian (Micracanthoceras ponti Zone) and lower Berriasian (Calpionella Zone), and from the limestone succession at Zengővárkony, Mecsek Mountains, Hungary. This is the first taxonomic description and photographic documentation of these fossils. We provide reliable documentation of pygopid brachiopods from the Mecsek Mountains, known since 1880, but previously not described. For the moment, three pygopid brachiopod species are reliably reported from the Mecsek Mountains: Pygope diphya, P. janitor and Pygites diphyioides. The Lacunosella hoheneggeri described herein is the first record of Berriasian rhynchonellide brachiopods from the Mecsek Mountains. The lower Berriasian brachiopods may belong to a normal palaeoenvironment, with the usual size distribution.

“…Along the northeast coast of Greenland, the Ryazanian-Valanginian deposits yield additionally Tethyan cephalopods (belemnites like Pseudobelus and Duvalia; Alsen & Mutterlose, 2009;Mutterlose et al, 2020) and brachiopods (e.g. Pygope; Ager & Walley, 1977;Sandy, 1991;Harper et al, 2005), along with relatively frequent ammonites of oceanic type, such as Lytoceras and Ptychophylloceras (Alsen, 2006), which invaded this area from the south (Mutterlose et al, 2020). All in all, the arrival of these typical Tethyan micro-and macrofossils can only be explained by a connection between the Tethys and the Boreal via the so-called Atlantic route (Image 6).…”

Herein, Ryazanian (Berriasian) macrofossils from three well cores in the Central Graben (wells B18-02, L06-02, The Netherlands) and on the Jæren High (well 7/7-2, Norway) in the southern North Sea region are described. Macrofossils are mainly represented by buchiid bivalves (Buchia volgensis) and ammonites (Surites, Lynnia and Praetollia?). The genus Lynnia is recorded for the first time outside its topotypical area, and its systematic position and stratigraphic ranges are discussed. Additionally, the studied core sections yielded coleoid remains and a single limid bivalve. Based on the stratigraphic ranges of key ammonite genera (Lynnia, Surites and Bojarkia), the zonation of the Ryazanian stage is reconsidered. Uppermost Volgian to Ryazanian ammonite faunas are quite consistent and diverse but showing a higher degree of similarity throughout the Panboreal Superrealm as compared to those from rest of the Upper Volgian and the Middle Volgian. Buchia volgensis is the only species known from the southern North Sea and East Anglia, which is in strong contrast to the high diversity of Buchia in East Greenland and the remainder of the Boreal Realm. We hypothesise that such differences in the distribution of ammonites and bivalves in general, and the absence of buchiid species other than Buchia volgensis south of East Greenland in particular, are the result of anoxic bottom water conditions in the southern Viking Strait. The unusually wide geographic range of B. volgensis, which is known from such distant areas as Mexico and the Crimea, suggests a potential higher tolerance of this species to adverse conditions.

“…As it is only known from Spitsbergen the new genus, Seductorithyris, does not add any palaeobiogeographic links and can be considered an endemic element to the fauna. Ptilorhynchia is a component of Boreal faunas, but also appears to have had a broad latitudinal distribution and has even been considered bipolar or cosmopolitan (Thomson & Owen 1979;Århus et al 1990;Sandy 1991) and more recently as circum-Pacific (Manceñido 2002;MacFarlan et al 2011).

Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (Late Volgian-latest Ryazanian) rhynchonellate brachiopods are described from eight out of 15 hydrocarbon seep deposits in the Slottsmøya Member of the Agardhfjellet Formation in the Janusfjellet to Knorringfjellet area, central Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The fauna comprises rhynchonellides, terebratulides (terebratuloids and loboidothyridoids) and a terebratellidine. The rhynchonellides include: Pseudomonticlarella varia Smirnova; Ptilorhynchia mclachlani sp. nov.; and Ptilorhynchia obscuricostata Dagys. The terebratulides belong to the terebratuloids: Cyrtothyris? sp.; Cyrtothyris aff. cyrta (Walker); Praelongithyris? aff. borealis Owen; and the loboidothyridoids: Rouillieria cf. michalkowii (Fahrenkohl); Rouillieria aff. ovoides (Sowerby); Rouillieria aff. rasile Smirnova; Uralella? cf. janimaniensis Makridin; Uralella? sp.; Pinaxiothyris campestris? Dagys; Placothyris kegeli? Harper et al.; and Seductorithyris septemtrionalis gen. et sp. nov. The terebratellidine Zittelina? sp. is also present. Age determinations for all but one of the brachiopod-bearing seeps are based on associated ammonites. Five of the seep carbonates have yielded Lingularia similis?, and it is the only brachiopod species recorded from two of the seeps. Other benthic invertebrate taxa occurring in the seeps include bivalves, gastropods, echinoderms, sponges, and serpulid and non-serpulid worm tubes. The brachiopod fauna has a strong Boreal palaeobiogeographic signature. Collectively, the Spitsbergen seep rhynchonellate brachiopods exhibit high species richness and low abundance (<100 specimens from 8 seeps). This contrasts markedly with other Palaeozoic-Mesozoic brachiopod-dominated seep limestones where brachiopods are of low diversity (typically monospecific) with a super-abundance of individuals. The shallow water environmental setting for the Spitsbergen seeps supported a diverse shelf fauna, compared to enigmatic Palaeozoic-Mesozoic brachiopod-dominated seeps.
