Abstract
Resumen: Los ejemplares de braquiópodos del genera Cuersithyrisson muy numerosos en los materiales carbonatados del Sinemuriense superior (Zona Raricostatum)-Pliensbachiense inferior (Zona Ibex, Subzona Masseanum) de la Cordillera ibérica. La caracterización de las especies se ha realizado a partir de ejemplares procedentes de siete localidades de la Cordillera Ibérica y una de Mallorca. El género Cuersithyris, poco estudiado hasta el momento, se caracteriza por un umbo masivo, recurvado, foramen muy pequeño, líneas de crecimiento marcadas, surco medio en la valva dorsal y callosidades umbonales muy desarralladas. La diferenciación de las especies C. radstockiensis y C. davidsoni se ha realizado teniendo en cuenta el contorno, grado de convexidad de las valvas, desarrallo del surco medio dorsal, sección transversal, engrosamiento umbonal, morfología del proceso cardinal, placas cardinales y bandeleta transversal. La variabilidad reconocida para la especie C. davidsoni incluye las formas atribuidas hasta el momento a C. cuersensis. El registro del género se restringe a las cuencas del suroeste de Europa, donde se ha detectado un relevo relativamente rápido de estas especies. Durante el intervalo de tiempo considerado, las asociaciones de braquiópodos que se han reconocido muestran afinidades con la Provincia Europea.
Abstract: Specimens of Cuersithyris are numerous in the carbonatic sediments of the Upper Sinemurian (Raricostatum Zone)-Lower Pliensbachian (Ibex Zone, Masseanum Subzone) in the Iberian Range. Cuersithyris genus has a massive umbo, incurved, very small foramen, well-marked growth lines, middle sulcus on dorsal valve and welldeveloped umbonal callosities. The characterization of the species radstockiensis and davidsoni has been done out of one thousand specimens from seven localities in the Iberian Range and one in Mallorca (Baleares Islands). The differentiation among two species has been done taking into account the outline, convexity of valves, development of the dorsal middle sulcus, transversal section, umbonal thickening, morphology of the cardinal process, cardinal plates and transversal band. The study of C. davidsoni internal and external characters, as well as its stratigraphic range, let us consider it as an independent species which includes in its variability the forms attributed, up to date, to C. cuersensis. The register of the genus is limited to South-western European basins where C. davidsoni and C. radstockiensis have been used as zonal indexes. During the Upper Sinemurian-Lower Pliensbachian interval, brachiopod associations are typically boreal and belong to the European Province.
