Abstract

The asymmetric rhynchonellide brachiopods Rhynchonella difformis Valenciennes in Lamarck and R. contorta d'Orbigny were often mentioned in the stratigraphic literature on Santonian-Campanian outcrops of the Pannonides, Carpatho-Balkanides and Dinarides (southeastern Europe). A recent taxonomic study including modern methods of serial sectioning and shell microstructure of brachiopods has resulted in revision of both species, identified now as Cyclothyris ? globata (Arnaud).
