130 ADVANCES IN PALAEOICHTHYOLOGY Nostolepis cf. amplifica Fig. 4 A-M 2003 b Nostolepis amplifica; Valiukevicius, figs 2 A-H, 3 A-I. Range. The lower part of the Šilale Beds of the Minija Formation, Pridoli, Upper Silurian. Material. 72 flank scales. Remarks. N. amplifica was originally defined on large trunk scales having a high robust median crown area ornamented with two to six short parallel ridges fading out at a quarter of crown length, and narrow lateral crown steps delimited by clear oblique neck ridges. Most of the Lužni scales are within the morphologic range of N. amplifica, differing only in having more pronounced, wider bases protruding beyond the anterolateral edges of crowns, and scales generally being smaller (crowns 0.35-0.6 mm long and 0.3-0.85 mm wide). Two reasons preclude definite assignment of the scales to N. amplifica. First, the long stratigraphic gap that separates the isolated occurrence (338.6 m) of N. cf. amplifica from the range of definite N. amplifica (202.4-172.2 m); and second, histologic differences. The Stranggewebe in crowns of N. amplifica is covered by a mantle of highly cellular simple mesodentine and is distinguished by short and narrow Stranglacunae; osteocytes are present in the primordial lamella only; large principal vascular canals develop in each growth lamella (Valiukevicius 2003 b, fig. 3 A-I). These characters are almost opposite in the Lužni scales. The enveloping Stranggewebe mantle of the networked mesodentine is absent here or is very thin (Fig. 4 J-K), Stranglacunae are particularly long and osteocytes are present, though rare, in all growth lamellae (Fig. 4 H, M). The system of main vascular canals is less developed in N. cf. amplifica, and only narrow ascending and radial canals were observed.
