Abstract

A previously unknown Namurian goniatite and brachiopod fauna is described from Southeast Asia. The goniatites provide new insights into their global distribution and the age of the fauna. Two new brachiopod genera, Eileenella Racheboeuf and Plicambocoelia Boucot and Brunton, and five new species are described. The brachiopod fauna is unlike any known previously from Asia.
