“…The species has a wide stratigraphic distribution from the middle Oxfordian (Algeria: Coquand 1880) to the upper Tithonian (Poland: Barczyk 1991) or Berriasian (Lobatscheva 1983). New data (Vörös et al 2020) suggest that it ranged even to the lower Valanginian. Geographically, it is distributed in the entire Tethys, both Mediterranean (Algeria; Bakony Mountains, Hungary; Tirol, Italy; Serbia) and Submediterranean Provinces (Subbétic Cordilleras, Spain; Ardéche, SE France; Switzerland; Rogoznik, Pieniny Klippen Belt, Poland; Crimea) and even into the Indo-Malagasy (Ethiopia: Basse 1930; Sula Islands, Indonesia: Manceñido 1993).…”

“…The present authors follow the opinion of Lee (2006) regarding the generic assignment for this species. Some authors (Vörös et al 2019(Vörös et al , 2020 consider that this species belong to Antinomia without further reasoning; however, according to Lee (2006Lee ( : 2140, the latter one is a junior synonym for Pygope. Without established reasoning to place this species into Antinomia, we follow Lee (2006).…”

“…Therefore, the Hungarian upper Oxfordian occurrence of this species strengthens the observation of Ficheur (1891) on the very early FO of Pygope catulloi. It ranges up to the lower Valanginian (Vörös et al 2019(Vörös et al , 2020 with an acme in the lower Tithonian when it reached its largest geographic distribution along both the northern and southern margins of the Western Tethys.…”

Recent discovery of a previously unknown outcrop in the vicinity of the Zengővárkony lime-kilns (Mecsek Mountains, Hungary) provided a few identifiable upper Oxfordian brachiopods that exhibit a truly Mediterranean (Tethyan) character. Dating of the outcrop is based on a rich ammonite fauna: Benetticeras benettii; Trimarginites ex gr. trimarginatus; Orthosphinctes (Orthosphinctes) ex gr. tiziani clearly indicate the Late Oxfordian. The brachiopod fauna indicates a deep-water marine environment and well-oxygenated sea floor. Nucleata bouei and Pygope catulloi are recorded for the first time from the Mecsek Mountains. A pathologic specimen of Pygope catulloi is also recognized. Its ventral valve was injured in an early developmental stage that caused deformation of the left side, which was overgrown by the healthy right side and created an asymmetric adult shell shape. Cause of the injury is unclear but it provides further evidence for subsequent healing of brachiopods after being injured. This is the first description and illustration of Oxfordian brachiopods from the Mecsek Mountains, Hungary. The occurrence of Tethyan originating pygopid brachiopods in the Oxfordian strengthens earlier observations that from the Bathonian/Callovian Tethyan influence became overwhelming in the Mecsek Mountains fauna. Pygope catulloi strengthens records from Algeria that pygopid brachiopods may have occurred very early on the periphery of the Western Tethys.

“…Because of the low preservation potential of their delicate chitinophosphatic shells, lingulids fossilised mainly during drastic or catastrophic environmental changes (EMIG 1997a). Consequently, lingulids are widely considered as "disaster taxa" (RODLAND & BOTTJER 2001;PETSIOS & BOTTJER 2016;VÖRÖS et al 2020).…”

We report on new fossils of chitinophosphatic brachiopods from Upper Pliocene (Piacenzian) marginal-marine clayey sands cropping out at the La Serra locality of Tuscany 1 (central Italy). Based on their morphological characters, these specimens are here assigned to the linguliform family Lingulidae and tentatively recognised as belonging to the extant genus Lingula. This is the first record of lingulids from the Mediterranean Pliocene, as well as the geologically youngest one from the Mediterranean Basin. Since Lingulidae have previously been reported from the upper Miocene of Italy, their occurrence in the Pliocene of Tuscany evokes the persistence of these brachiopods within the Mediterranean Basin during the Messinian Salinity Crisis. The eventual extirpation of lingulids from the Mediterranean Sea could have resulted from the progressive cooling of seawater and emergence of shallowwater coastal environments that occurred in Pleistocene times.
