A contribution to the Knowledge of the Devonian Faunas of Colombia

Abstract

This is a study of the Colombian Devonian Fauna collected by the author in the areas of Floresta (Boyacá), Manaure (Magdalena), and Gutierrez (Cundinamarca). Although 72 species were classified and listed, only those which are new to the Colombian Devonian are described and illustrated. The faunal assemblage found in each locality is discussed separately, and correlated to those found at other Iocalities within Colombia. The relarionship between the Colombian and other South and North American Devonian Faunas is also discussed.
