Abstract

Representatives of the genus Palmatolepis, along with new species of the genus Polygnathus (Po. schinkaryovi sp. nov. and Po. bertchogurensis sp. nov.) are recorded in carbonate deposits of the Burtebayian Formation of the Lower Famennian of Mugodzhary (Western Kazakhstan). They co-occur with Polygnathus polesicus Strelchenko, which is described for the first time in the Lower Famennian of Belarus.
