%X the brachiopod shells discovered in the rosablanca formation from the santa sofia locality, nw of villa de leyva, boyac¨¢ province, can be identified as sellithyris sella (j. de c. sowerby, 1823). the studied material shows characteristics features of this taxon including the loop wide, triangular with high-arched transverse band. this material was collected during a paleontological excursion with geology students. sellithyris was previously reported from zapatoca, santander province by dietrich (1938) and karsten (1958).this new record documents its wide late valanginian-?hauterivian distribution in colombia (uppermost rosablanca formation) and confirms the direct transatlantic connections with western europe.
