-Twenty-two species of the bivalve order Pholadomyida, belonging to six genera and seven subgenera of the families Pholadomyidae, Pleuromyidae and Poromyidae are described from the Cenomanian-Coniacian Cotinguiba Formation of the Sergipe Basin, north-eastern Brazil. Eleven species, Pholadomya (Ph.) cf. agrioensis Weaver, Ph. RESUMO -Vinte e duas espécies de biválvios da ordem Pholadomyida pertencentes a seis gêneros e sete subgêneros das famílias Pholadomyidae, Pleuromyidae e Poromyidae são descritas do Cenomaniano-Coniaciano da Formação Cotinguiba, bacia de Sergipe, nordeste do Brasil. Onze espécies são registradas na bacia pela primeira vez:(Sergipemya) gigantea (J. Sowerby). Foi proposto o novo subgênero Sergipemya do gênero Liopistha, família Poromyidae, com base em caracteres morfológicos tais como: valvas grandes e fortemente infl adas, costelas comarginais numerosas, uma área umbonal anterior bem desenvolvida e arredondada margeando uma depressão profunda sobre a parte anterior, e a presença de dois dentes cardinais diferentes com um soquete cardinal em forma de ranhura na valva esquerda. A fauna de pholadomyideos de Sergipe assemelha-se fortemente àquela de outras regiões tetianas no oeste e no sul da Europa, no norte e oeste da África e no Oriente Médio. Os padrões de distribuição dos táxons foram infl uenciados provavelmente por correntes no sentido leste-oeste. Os pholadomyideos tetianos da parte sul alcançaram a África ocidental e o nordeste da América do Sul pela via transsaariana.Palavras-chave: Pholadomyida, taxonomia, paleobiogeografi a, Cretáceo, Formação Cotinguiba, Brasil.

“…Modiolus ligeriensis (Orbigny, 1844) and M. typicus (Forbes, 1846) are apparently almost indistinguishable from M. reversus, and may well turn out to be conspecific when thoroughly revised. In England, Modiolus reversus mainly occurs in strata of Albian to Cenomanian age (Woods 1900 fig.…”

Schneider, S., Jager, M., Kroh, A., Mitterer, A., Niebuhr, B., Vodražka, R., Wilmsen, M., Wood, C.J. and Zagoršek, K. 2013. Silicified sea life - Macrofauna and palaeoecology of the Neuburg Kieselerde Member (Cenomanian to Lower Turonian Wellheim Formation, Bavaria, southern Germany). Acta Geologica Polonica, 63(4), 555-610. Warszawa. With approximately 100 species, the invertebrate macrofauna of the Neuburg Kieselerde Member of the Wellheim Formation (Bavaria, southern Germany) is probably the most diverse fossil assemblage of the Danubian Cretaceous Group. Occurring as erosional relicts in post-depositional karst depressions, both the Cretaceous sediments and fossils have been silicified during diagenesis. The Neuburg Kieselerde Member, safely dated as Early Cenomanian to Early Turonian based on inoceramid bivalve biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy, preserves a predominantly soft-bottom community, which, however, is biased due to near-complete early diagenetic loss of aragonitic shells. The community is dominated by epifaunal and semi-infaunal bivalves as well as sponges that settled on various (bio-) clasts, and may widely be split into an early bivalve-echinoid assemblage and a succeeding sponge-brachiopod assemblage. In addition to these groups we document ichnofauna, polychaete tubes, nautilids and bryozoans. The fauna provides evidence of a shallow to moderately deep, calm, fully marine environment, which is interpreted as a largescale embayment herein. The fauna of the Neuburg Kieselerde Member is regarded as an important archive of lower Upper Cretaceous sea-life in the surroundings of the Mid-European Island.
