Abstract
Summary. A fossil siphonophorid is described from the Palaeozoic rocks of the Enticho area in Tigrai, northern Ethiopia. This is the first fauna to be described from these rocks and the evidence supports an Ordovician age for the associated glacial rocks. Detailed lithostratigraphy of the area is also discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
