About this book

Language: German with bilingual summary in English and German

Within more than 50 years the author has collected a vast number of trilobites originating from erratic boulders of Ordovician age, among them many specimens of the subfamily of Chasmopinae. By keeping all fossils from the distinct boulder it was possible to classify nearly all species stratigraphically.

Out of the middle- to high-ordovician family of Pterygometopidae altogether eight genera of Chasmopinae are dealt with. These may be split up into two groups: One group comprising five genera with a so-called locking system (vincular furrow) and the second one consisting of three genera without such a locking system.

Altogether 53 species of Baltoscandian provenience, including 11 species new to science [Scopelochasmops mukranensis n. sp., Scopelochasmops praewrangeli n. sp., Bolbochasmops kaskovoensis n. sp., Toxochasmops (Toxochasmops) praewesenbergensis n. sp., Toxochasmops (Toxochasmops) luebzensis n. sp., Valdariops vierradensis n. sp., Valdariops scheffelae n. sp., Valdariops schneideri n. sp., Valdariops ruegensis n. sp., Valdariops postnybyensis n. sp., Valdariops porkuniensis n. sp.], are characterized and differentiated from each other. Additionally, five species from Great Britain and one from Canada are discussed and correlated with those from Baltoscandia. To differentiate the species from each other, distinctions at the cephalon and pygidium are taken into consideration, revealing on the other hand, evolutionary trends.

In more than half the number of species dealt with, the author succeeded in clearing the hypostome in its original position from the embedding limestone or matrix. This preparational work has made it possible to see pores, to study the shape of tubercles and the gestalt of the eyes. The different types of limestones are characterised and described.

Summary in German:
Über einen Zeitraum von mehr als 50 Jahren trug der Autor eine Vielzahl von Trilobiten aus nordischen Geschieben des Ordoviziums, unter anderem aus der Unterfamilie Chasmopinae, zusammen. Durch konsequentes Zusammenhalten der gesamten Fauna der einzelnen Geschiebeblöcke war es möglich unter Einbeziehung der Begleitfauna fast alle Arten stratigraphisch relativ sicher einzuordnen.

Aus der mittel- bis oberordovizischen Trilobitenfamilie Pterygometopidae werden aus der Unterfamilie Chasmopinae insgesamt acht Gattungen vorgestellt, die sich in zwei Gruppen gliedern lassen: In fünf Gattungen mit Verschluss-System (Vincularfurche) und drei Gattungen ohne Verschluss-System.
Insgesamt werden 53 Arten, darunter 11 neue [Scopelochasmops 2 Arten; Bolbochasmops 1 Art; Toxochasmops (Toxochasmops) 2 Arten, Valdariops 6 Arten] aus dem baltoskandischen Raum ausführlich beschrieben und gegeneinander abgegrenzt. Ergänzend hierzu werden fünf Arten aus Großbritannien und eine aus Kanada diskutiert und mit den baltoskandischen korreliert. Zur Abgrenzung der Arten werden Unterschiede am Cephalon und Pygidium herangezogen, die bestimmte evolutive Trends erkennen lassen.

Bei weit mehr als der Hälfte der Arten gelang es, das Hypostom in Originallage frei zu präparieren. Auch der Nachweis von Poren, bzw. die Anlage von Tuberkeln sowie die Ausbildung der Augen sind Ergebnisse der Präparationsarbeiten. Des Weiteren werden die verschiedenen Kalksteintypen charakterisiert.
