  <dc:description>&lt;div class="abstract-content"&gt;&lt;div class="abstract" data-abstract-type="normal"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Wamp Spring section of the Bird Spring Group consists of approximately 1,600 feet of carbonate rocks subdivided into a basal platy limestone member, lower cliff-forming member, and upper cliff-forming member.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Triticites, Schwagerina&lt;/span&gt;, and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Schubertella kingi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in the platy limestone member indicate an early Wolfcampian age.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Schwagerina, Schubertella kingi&lt;/span&gt;, and a distinctive assemblage of brachiopods, similar to the West Texas fauna, including&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Kozlowskia kingi, Elliottella&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;aff.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;E. multicostata, Leurosina sinesulca, Gypospirifer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;cf.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;G. infraplicus&lt;/span&gt;, and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Composita&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;cf.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;C. apheles&lt;/span&gt;, indicate that the upper cliff-forming member is late Wolfcampian. The lower cliff-forming member is tentatively assigned to the middle Wolfcampian. The Wamp Spring sequence correlates temporally with the BSe “formation” of the Bird Spring Group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to the previously mentioned taxa, the fossil-rich upper cliff-forming limestone member includes the new species&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Pontisia boodi, Crurithyris wampensis&lt;/span&gt;, and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Calliprotonia&lt;/span&gt;(?) n. sp. A, as well as&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Hustedia culcitula, Crenispirifer&lt;/span&gt;(?) sp.,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Cenorhynchia&lt;/span&gt;(?) sp.,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="italic"&gt;Kutorginella&lt;/span&gt;(?) sp., marginiferids, lyssacine hexactinellid sponges, pleurotomarid and bellerophontid gastropods, cidaroid echinoids, rugose corals, cylindrical cryptostome bryozoans, and nuculids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
