It has recently been found in the Mediterranean region (Iberian Chain, northeastern Spain). In this paper we refer the finding of Tonkinella aff. breviceps in the Leonian (lower Middle Cambrian) of the Cantabrian Mountains (northern Spain), analysing its stratigraphical position, fossil assemblages, biochronology and utility for intercontinental correlation. The presence of this taxon allows us to make a more accurate correlation between the Middle Cambrian biochronological scales of Laurentia, the Mediterranean area and China.}, publisher = {Institut de Ciències de la Terra "Jaume Almera"}, title = {A new occurence of the genus Tonkinella in northern Spain and the Middle Cambrian intercontinental correlation}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1344/105.000001598}, author = {Gámez Vintaned, José Antonio and Gozalo Gutiérrez, R. and Díes Álvarez, María Eugenia and Mayoral Alfaro, Eduardo and Muñiz Guinea, Fernando}, }
