Distortion of Crurithyris urei (Fleming) from the Visean rocks of Fife, Scotland, by compaction of the containing sediment

Laing Ferguson

The subtle deformation of crurithyrid shells from Visean (Carboniferous) shale of Fife, Scotland, is described as an example of the confusion which can be caused by using external form as a taxonomic criterion for small, thin-shelled fossils, without regard to their position relative to bedding planes, lithologic factors,and the probability of shell distortion.
