“…A shallow-water environment was inferred, with faunal recolonization episodes punctuated by volcanic events, and redeposition of the fossil material in deeper settings (Ferretti and Holland 1994, fig. 3). Remarkable is the almost complete absence of other Silurian protagonists, notably cephalopods, that dominate coeval deeper-water settings at higher latitudes in the peri-Gondwana region (e.g., Wendt and Aigner 1985;Barca et al 1992;Ferretti and Serpagli 1996;Histon 1999;Lubeseder 2008;Corradini et al 2009a) as well as of specific anoxic organic-rich settings (sensu Negri et al 2009).…”

Three-dimensionally preserved fragments of the enigmatic organism Sandvikina, previously reported from the Silurian of Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia, were recovered from the original Irish material that had revealed the problematic in thin sections. The new specimens derive from conodont residue and document silicified sectors of the distal part of the skeleton. Adifferent pattern characterizes the outer and inner walls, with an external net-like reticulated and an internal continuous and apparently imperforate framework, getting therefore a filter-like feeding system function highly improbable.
