LATE PERMIAN BRACHIOPODS FROM THE CRIMEAN MOUNTAINS

Abstract

The assemblage of articulate brachiopods from the Kichkhi-Burnu exotic limestone block is studied for die first time. Brachiopods are represented by 21 species assigned to 18 genera and 12 families from five orders. The stratigraphic and biogeographic distribution of the assemblage is analyzed. Three species, i.e., Enteletes geniculatus, Echinauriella juresanensiformis, and Pseudowellerella gundarensis, which have been originally established (although not published) by B.K. Licharew from the Upper Permian deposits of the southwestern Darvaz Range (northern Pamir), are included in the paper.
