Abstract

Investigation of specimens of “Terebratella” ovula Anderson, 1938 from the upper Lower Albian Upper Chickabally Member of the Budden Canyon Formation, Great Valley Group, California has allowed the examination of the species' internal structures by serial sectioning. “Terebratella” ovula Anderson is now referred to the genus Dzirulina Noutsoubidze, 1945. The stratigraphic range of the genus is extended from the Hauterivian–Aptian to the Albian. The geographic range of Dzirulina is increased from central and western Europe, the Caucasus and Georgia of eastern Europe, and northern Zululand, Africa to now include northern California, North America. This represents an additional record of an Early Cretaceous brachiopod genus with a low-latitude, transatlantic distribution, most probably related to dispersal across the opening Central Atlantic Ocean.
