each the cusp. Where the depressions meet the aboral margin, the latter is<br />

undulated.<br />

The basal cavity is very deep and extends throughout the unit.<br />

The cusp is strongly recurved and its cross section is subcircular.<br />

Differential diagnosis: Coelocerodontus latus n. sp. differs from Furnishina<br />

primitiva MOLLER, 1959, in having a laterally compressed base, a strongly<br />

recurved cusp and in having a deflected anterior edge.<br />

It differs from Acodus primitivus NOGAMI, 1967, and from Hertzina (I)<br />

tricarinata NOGAMI, 1967, by the lack of pronounced lateral carinae, the<br />

strong curvature of the cusp and the deflected anterior edge.<br />

Regional occurrence: This species was only found in member Da-d 2 at<br />

Kopingsklint.<br />

Biostratigraphic range: Coelocerodontus latus n. sp. was only found in the<br />

Cordylodus rotundatusAssemblage Zone.<br />

Derivatio nominis: variabilis, Lat. = variable.<br />

Unfigured paratypoid: cat. or. T 193-14.<br />

Type-stratum: The lowermost part of member Da-d 2 at Kopingsklint; see<br />

fig. 4, section b and chart II, sample l.<br />

Diagnosis: A slender, nearly straight and hardly ornamented Coelocerodontus<br />

with both symmetrical and asymmetrical forms.<br />

Description: Two symmetry variations occur within this species.<br />

In asymmetrical forms (see PI. 1, figs. 3a, b) one of the lateral faces is<br />

convex and the other is plane to somewhat concave. The posterior edge is<br />

angular to inconspicuously keeled. The anterior edge is subrounded and it is<br />

deflected to the concave side of the unit.<br />

The basal cavity is deep and extends throughout the unit. Its cross section<br />

is widest antero-laterally. The cusp gradually passes into the base and it is<br />

proclined.<br />

In the symmetrical forms both lateral sides are slightly convex and the<br />

base is widest anteriorly. The anterior edge is unkeeled and well rounded.<br />

The basal stretch of the posterior edge is rounded, towards the cusp it may<br />

become angular or inconspicuously keeled.<br />

Differential diagnosis: This species differs from Coelocerodontus latus n. sp.<br />

in the slight height of the base and the orientation of its cusp. Coelocerodon-
