Abstract

A conulariid originally figured by Deslongchamps (1825) from the Grès de May (Caradoc) of Normandy as “Conulaire ondulée (var.)” is revised. It is one of the first conulariids to have been figured in the literature. This large species, preserved as sandstone steinkerns, has usually been referred to as Conularia pyramidata Hoeninghaus, 1830. However, Hoeninghaus' publication does not satisfy criteria of availability and the species should instead be attributed to Bronn, as Metaconularia? pyramidata (Bronn, 1837). A lectotype is chosen from the Bronn Collection. Metaconularia? pyramidata is recorded for the first time reworked into the Triassic Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds Formation of Devon, England.
