Permian-era species of the Orthotetacea superfamily from Western Australia. At least 23 species across four genera are described, with many useful for stratigraphical correlation. The data was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in 2026.
Use Cases
- Stratigraphical correlation based on species with restricted ranges mentioned in the description
- Taxonomic analysis of Orthotetacea genera like Streptorhynchus and Derbyia
- Studying the distribution and acme of strophomenoid brachiopods in the Upper Palaeozoic
Strengths
- Describes at least 23 species across four genera
- Focuses on species useful for stratigraphical correlation
- Based on extensive field work by geologists from the Bureau of Mineral Resources and University of Western Australia
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
