slightly compressed laterally and passes into the cusp. The basal cavity is<br />

conical and its cross section is oval. The edges are situated slightly laterally<br />

and they are sub-angular to slightly rounded. They do not reach the aboral<br />

margin. A hyaline band occurs parallel to the aboral margin.<br />

Remarks: Sometimes the symmetrical elements with elongated bases may<br />

resemble comparable elements of Protopanderodus longibasis<br />

(LINDSTROM), emend. herein (PI. 4, fig. 4) The latter are much less<br />

prominently striated, however.<br />

Regional occurrence: In all sections, studied biostratigraphically, this species<br />

is confined to the Horns Udde Formation.<br />

Biostratigraphic range: Protopanderodus latus is confined to the Triangulodus<br />

brevibasis Assemblage Zone (fig. 15).<br />

Drepanodus longibasis L~NDSTR6M, 1955a, p. 564, PI. 3, fig. 31.<br />

Remarks: The illustrated specimens show the intra-specific form variation of<br />

the elements within this multi-element species. There are erect to slightly<br />

proclined forms with bases approximately as long as the cusp or slightly<br />

shorter (PI. 4, fig. 4). The base passes smoothly into the cusp. Other<br />

elemen ts are reclined, whereas the base is much shorter, widening in aboral<br />

direction (PI. 4, fig. 5). Finally there are twisted units. These have a relatively<br />

wide base, which may be slightly asymmetrical and can open to one<br />

side (PI. 4, fig. 6). In well preserved specimens the whole unit is finely<br />

striated and the base appears to be hyaline. The striation may be inconspicuous<br />

on the cusp and it is much less prominent than it is in Protopanderodus<br />

latus n. sp.<br />

Regional occurrence: At Kopingsklint this species was found from halfway<br />

member Kk 1 up to the top of the sequence investigated. In section 6 from<br />

member Ka-d 1 up to the top of the section. Near Horns Udde from halfway<br />

member Kk 2 up to the top of the Horns Udde Formation.<br />

Biostratigraphic range: Protopanderodus longibasis was encountered from<br />

the upper portion of the Drepanodus arcuatus Assemblage Zone up to and<br />

including the Triangulodus brevibasis Assemblage Zone (fig. 15).
