A new genus Glyptoleda and a revision of the genus Nuculana from the Permian of Australia
Abstract
In this paper the genus Nuculana occurring in the Permian rocks of Australia is revised. Generic rank is given to a well defined group of these shells with a characteristic and bizarre ornamentation under the name Glyptoleda. The stratigraphy of the Silverwood-Lucky Valley Permian succession has been reinterpreted on additional palaeontological evidence.
