Probing the deep shelf: a Lagerstätte from the Upper Ordovician of Girvan, southwestern Scotland
A deep-water Konservat Lagerstätte from the lower Caradoc (Sandbian) at Girvan is dominated by the trilobite Diacanthaspis trippi, the carpoids Anatifopsis n. sp.? and a new genus of ctenocystoid together with the polyplacophoran Solenocaris solenoides and the brachiopod Onniella williamsi.

This included the bilateral ctenocystoids, which were long thought to be restricted to the Cambrian. Here, we describe a new species of ctenocystoid from the Upper Ordovician of Scotland...Rahman, Imran A ; Stewart, Sarah E ; Samuel, Zamora
