| Sumario: | The Diplostraca (also known as conchostracans; Arthropoda: Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Phyllopoda) are a group
that were often collected in the coal basins of northern and eastern France, during the main period of activity of the coal
industry (end of 19th Century to beginning of 20th Century); others were collected in Germany, Switzerland, Africa and
Russia. Hence, the palaeontological collections of Lille (Natural History Museum of Lille and University of Lille) are especially
rich in specimens. This paper presents a reasoned catalogue of the types and figured specimens of the collection of the
Natural History Museum of Lille, associated with a brief review of the Palaeozoic diplostracans, and some new or updated
data in geology and palaeontology. Fossil Diplostraca are a rather neglected group, which appears however to be important
in biostratigraphy, sequential stratigraphy, palaeoclimatology, palaeobiology, palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography during
both principal stages of the Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian); i.e., during Moscovian (traditionally called Westphalian in
western Europe) and Kasimovian times (traditionally called Stephanian). |
