Jor. Ebbestad et El. Yochelson, Isostrophic molluscs (Tergomya and Gastropoda) from the Upper Ordovician of Norway, NORSK GEOL, 80(3), 2000, pp. 187-202
Ten species of Upper Ordovician isostrophic Tergomya and Gastropoda (Mollus
ca) are described from the Oslo Region, Norway. Sinuitina, represented by S
inuitina? planilata sp, nov., is considered a cyrtonellid tergomyan, based
on interpretation of the umbilico-lateral sinuses as inhalant emarginations
, though it differs from the type species in possessing a selenizone. Three
species of cap-shaped gastropods are referred to Archinacella, demonstrati
ng a wide variation in shell morphology. Muscle scars in Sinuites usitatus?
Isakar, 1991 resemble those found in comparable species in Bohemia. Tropid
odiscus laticonchus sp. nov. and T. maximus sp. nov. differ markedly from t
he type species in their large size, wide umbilici and the high number of w
horls, while T. sp. differs in having narrow (for the genus) umbilici. Cymb
ularia pachygaster (Koken in Koken & Perner 1925) and C. bullatus (Koken in
Koken & Perner 1925) are synonymized, and it is shown that the umbilici of
the species are not plugged but partially covered by infolding of the late
ral lip.
