Faunal list for Shelve Inlier, Shropshire
This is an ongoing list of the described faunas of the Ordovician sequence of the Shelve Inlier. It's not complete yet, but we'll let you know when we think we've got everything. We've divided the sequence here into fifteen divisions that span the sequence in the Builth Inlier, and some time on either side. References next to and under each heading give the source(s) of the various lists. So far, only the trilobites, graptolites and brachiopods are included, but there are more to come.
