“…Jurkoska & Uchman (2013) considered predatory eunicid polychaete worms as the most probable candidates, although no scolecodont jaw elements have been found in association with Lepidenteron tubes. However, scolecodonts have recently been described from upper Danian sediments of southern Sweden (Bergman & Eriksson 2003), indicating that potential predator polychaetes occurred in the vicinity in time and space.…”

The predominantly Cretaceous gastropod genus Vanikoropsis Meek, 1876 is represented in the Paleocene of Denmark and West Greenland by four species, of which three are established herein as new, viz. Vanikoropsis mortenseni n. sp., Vanikoropsis (s.l.) jakobseni n. sp. and Vanikoropsis (s.l.) bashforthi n. sp. The Danish species was found in a boulder of Kerteminde Marl (Selandian, middle Paleocene) from Gundstrup, while the species from West Greenland were found in the localities Sonja Lens and Qaarsutjægerdal on the Nuussuaq peninsula (late Danian, early Paleocene). The Danish species extends the stratigraphic range of the genus into the middle Paleocene and supports the affinities of the Kerteminde Marl fauna to the Paleocene fauna of West Greenland.

“…For further information on glycerids and their higher-level taxonomy, see e.g., Fauchald and Rouse (1997, p. 99), Rouse and Fauchald (1997), Wilson (2000, p. 127-129), and Böggemann (2006). Fossil glycerids and their generic assignment have been subject for discussion (e.g., Charletta and Boy er, 1974;Szaniawski, 1974;Bergman and Eriksson, 2003). Jansonius and Craig (1971) designated G. sulcatus Hinde, 1879, as the type species of Glycerites in spite of the fact that both Hinde (1880, p. 375) and Eller (1967a, p. 119-120) had reassigned G. sulcatus to Arabellites.…”

Scolecodonts are the mouth pieces of jaw-bearing polychaete annelid worms that occur in abundance as microfossils in the fossil record. Historical scolecodont collections (e.g., Hinde, 1879, 1880, 1882; Stauffer, 1933, 1939; Eller, 1934, 1936, 1940, 1942) are of crucial importance for the taxonomy of fossil polychaetes because they often include taxa with nomenclatural priority over more recently established ones. One significant problem, however, is that most publications dealing with these collections have rudimentary hand-drawings of the fossils that do not allow unambiguous identifications. In this study, all specimens assigned to Arabellites by Hinde (1879) have been re-examined and photographed. Over the years Arabellites has been used for a plethora of morphologically variable scolecodonts of uncertain taxonomic affinity, rendering its status questionable (e.g., Kielan- Jaworowska, 1962, 1966; Kozur, 1970; Jansonius and Craig, 1971; Szaniawski and Wrona, 1973; Eriksson and Bergman, 2003). However, first-hand studies of the type material have allowed new discussions of this genus. Moreover, Glycerites Hinde, 1879, is briefly discussed as it proved to be intimately linked to Arabellites.
