Here is a complete sample of a rare Phillipsinella parabola from Girvan. The genus Phillipsinella is very widely distributed in the upper Ordovician. Phillipsinella parabola is known from the Czech Republic and the British Islands as well from the Baltic region. Also in the north American Trenton Group is Phillipsinella parabola knwon. But the species seems to be however at all places quite seldom. |
