Scottish Silurian Chelicerata
View through CrossRef
The occurrences of Silurian scorpions, eurypterids, and xiphosurans in Scotland are summarised.
Slimonia acuminata
var. nov.
hendersoni
and
Stylonurus knoxae
sp. nov. are described. New morphological information is given concerning
Hughmilleria conica
(Laurie),
Slimonia dubia
(Laurie),
Mixopterus dolichoschelus
Størmer ex Laurie,
Stylonurus ornatus
Laurie,
S.
cf.
macrophthalmus
Laurie, and
Drepanopterus pentlandicus
Laurie.
Pentland Hills specimens from Green Cleuch and the Gutterford Burn date from the Upper Gala-Tarannon. Higher horizons in the Pentland Hills are not much later. The Lesmahagow faunas may perhaps not be more recent than Wenlock. The single Stonehaven species seems to be older than Downtonian.
