NEW LINGULIDS (BRACHIOPODA) FROM THE LOWER CRETACEOUS OF EUROPEAN RUSSIA, WITH NOTES IN THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF THEIR SHELLS

Abstract

A new genus Credolingula (Lingulidae), including two species C. subtruncata and C. olferievi, and the new species Lingularia michailovae, are described from the Lower Cretaceous of European Russia. The shell microstructure of the new species is similar to that of other Lower Cretaceous and extant lingulids.
