Conodonts from the lochkovian sediments of the Belarusian part of the Volyn monocline (Tomashovka 11 borehole)
Abstract
This paper presents new data on conodonts from the Lower Devonian Lochkovian sediments recovered by Tomashovka 11 borehole drilled in the territory of Belarus, in the northwestern part of the Volyn Monocline. A number of conodont taxa previously unknown in the country have been identified: Zieglerodina mashkovae (Drygant), Z. formosa (Drygant), Z. remscheidensis (Ziegler), Pandorinellina camelfordensis (Farrell), Wurmiella excavata maxima (Drygant), Caudicriodus hadnagyi (Chatterton et Perry). The most important for stratigraphic purposes are Pandorinellina camelfordensis (Farrell), that is the marker of the Borshchovo Horizon, and Wurmiella excavata maxima (Drygant), that is among the index species of the Cypricriodus hesperius Zone. All identified conodont taxa from the assemblage prove the Early Lochkovian age of sedimentation for the studied part of the section.
