•Considering its recorded brachiopods, the uppermost beds of the Glauzy Fm. can be correlated with the following intervals: the base of the Porto de Santa Ana Fm. from Buçaco, Portugal; the uppermost beds of the “Bancos Mixtos” in Central Iberia (Villas 1995); the upper half of Fombuena Fm. from the Iberian Chains, Spain (Villas 1985); the Cava Fm. from the Spanish Central Pyrenees (Gil-Peña et al. 2004); the base of the Portixeddu Fm. from Sardinia (Leone et al. 1991); the Uggwa Shale Fm. in the Carnic Alps, Austria (Havlíček et al. 1987); and the Upper Shale Member of the Bedinan Fm. in Turkey (Villas et al. 1995).
