It was clear that these brachiopods had rotated through the sediments from a convex-up...

... The idea that concavo-convex brachiopods were immobile was recently challenged by the discovery of escape traces associated with several specimens of the Ordovician plectambonitoid Sowerbyella rugosa ( Dattilo, 2004 ). The implication of this discovery is that Sowerbyella did not need to passively keep...

... ). Of the over 200 species that occur within the Kope, the trilobite Cryptolithus tessellatus Green 1832 and the brachiopod Sowerbyella rugosa (Meek 1873) are of particular interest because they are abundant, characteristic of the Kope, and absent in immediately overlying strata. Cryptolithus is not known...
