Table of 'Orsten' taxa (from Australia, China, Poland, Sweden, and UK so far)

This is the first, almost complete list of 'Orsten' taxa published by us and the only authorized by us. Note that Agnostos pisiformis is in so far different from the rest of 'Orsten' arthropods that it has been known for long in form of its calcitic head and tail shields of the large specimens. What is still missing in this list are the various phosphatocopine taxa, which will be added in due course.
