ANNOUNCEMENT: A monograph on Silurian Chitinozoa (1994)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nestor, Viiu 1994. Early Silurian chitinozoans of Estonia and North Latvia.
Academia, 4, 163 pp., 29 figs, 32 pls. ISBN 9985-50-064-4. USD 20.00 
 
Abstract: Silurian chitinozoans from 31 core sections and 10 outcrops of 
the Llandoverian and Wenlockian strata of Estonia and North Latvia are 
discussed. The results of the study of about 2000 samples are assembled, 
111 species from 22 genera are described, among these two new genera 
(Nanochitina and Vitreochitina) and fifteen new species. 
Stratigraphical ranges of all chitinozoan taxa are presented in the 
lithological logs, 22 local chitinozoan biozones are defined and the 
East Baltic Llandoverian and Wenlockian sequence is correlated with 
those of Sweden, Belgium, Canada and other areas. The problems of the 
palaeoecology of chitinozoans are discussed in relation to the main 
facies belts of the East Baltic Silurian Palaeobasin and selective 
facies dependence of taxa.
