First xenacanthid shark from the Pennsylvanian (Moscovian) of the Northern Caucasus (Russia)

The occurrence of <i>Triodus teberdaensis</i> n. sp. teeth from the Pennsylvanian Tolstiy Bugor Formation (Moscovian) of Karachay-Cherkess Republic is the first evidence of xenacanthid remains from the Caucasus. The new species was found in carbonate sediments interpreted as resulting fr...

description The occurrence of <i>Triodus teberdaensis</i> n. sp. teeth from the Pennsylvanian Tolstiy Bugor Formation (Moscovian) of Karachay-Cherkess Republic is the first evidence of xenacanthid remains from the Caucasus. The new species was found in carbonate sediments interpreted as resulting from short-term transgressions during the Pennsylvanian regressive phase – further evidence that xenacanthids, predominantly adapted to freshwater, have also lived in marine environments. <br><br> Das Auftreten von Zähnen des <i>Triodus teberdaensis</i> n. sp. in der oberkarbonischen Tolstiy Bugor Formation (Moscovium) von Karatschai-Tscherkessien ist der erste Nachweis xenacanthider Überreste aus dem Kaukasus. Die neue Art wurde in karbonatischen Sedimenten, die als Transgressions-Intervalle innerhalb der globalen Oberkarbon-Regression interpretiert werden, abgelagert – ein Beleg dafür, dass die überwiegend aus Süßwasserablagerungen bekannten Xenacanthiden auch im marinen Milieu lebten. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.200700004" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.200700004</a>
