Fig. 7. Perscheia pulla gen et sp. nov. Outline of plates with canals accentuated. A, holotype,<br />

posterior part of the dorsal plate (CMN-NUFV 101); B, dorsal plate fragment (CMN- NUFV<br />

102); C, dorsal plate fragment (CMN-NUFV 103); D, posterolateral part of dorsal plate (CMN-<br />

NUFV 104). Scale bars equal 50 mm.<br />

The internal surface (Fig. 6E) is concavo-convex, shiny <strong>and</strong> smooth. Several growth<br />

lines are present parallel to the curved margin <strong>and</strong> a number of large smooth blisters are<br />

present towards what appears to be the lateral margin of the plate. The basal layer is<br />

dense, laminar, <strong>and</strong> up to 2 mm thick.<br />

The embayment is about 55 mm long <strong>and</strong> has a ro<strong>un</strong>ded natural margin. At one end<br />

it curves towards the outer margin <strong>un</strong>til tr<strong>un</strong>cated by the broken edge, in the other it<br />

meets the broken end of the plate. Although broadly ro<strong>un</strong>ded, the margin shows three<br />
