Pelagiella "sp. 1" Matthew 1895
The fossils described here are generally most similar to Pelagiella madianensis (Zhou and Xiao, 1984) illustrated in Gravestock et al. (2001: pl. 46), but the ornamentation of P. madianensis consists of granules arranged in spiral rows (Parkhaev in Gravestock et al. 2001). The ornamentation of Pelagiella sp. 1 herein consists of comarginal ribs similarly spaced as in the middle Cambrian Pelagiella sp. cf. Costipelagiella zazvorkai from the overlying Kuonamka Formation (Kouchinsky et al. 2011), but they do not appear to extend to the peripheral portion of the whorl.
Pelagiella "sp. 2" Matthew 1895
The fossils are discussed as Pelagiella cf. subangulata by Kouchinsky (2000a: 135, fig. 14).
