Abstract
Brachiopods from the Ordovician of southern Belgium (Avalonia): the end of a terra incognita
Contrary to the well-exposed Devonian–Carboniferous rock sequence, the thick siliciclastic Cambrian–Silurian succession of Belgium is poor in macrofossils and, more especially, in brachiopods. These rocks mostly crop out in the Brabant and the Stavelot–Venn massifs, and in the Condroz Inlier. Occurrences of Ordovician brachiopods have been reported since the second...Mottequin, Bernard ; Candela, Yves

New linguliformean brachiopods from the lower Tremadocian (Ordovician) of the Brabant Massif, Belgium, with comments on contemporaneous faunas from the Stavelot-Venn Massif
Lower Ordovician brachiopod macrofaunas in Belgium (Avalonia) are seldom collected and studied due to the poor preservation of material. Here we describe a new fauna of linguliformean brachiopods from the Chevlipont Formation (lower Tremadocian) in the Brabant Massif. The fauna is of low diversity (at least three species belonging to...Candela, Yves ; Marion, Jean-Marc ; Servais, Thomas ; Wang, Wenhui ; Wolvers, Mark …
