APPENDIX C 205Sca~~tbula w~dnlcri diRers from S. perplana Conrad from the Cretaceous<strong>of</strong> Nen. <strong>Jersey</strong> mainly by its much coarser sculpture, and by itssmaller size.Dimensions: Lengtli 4 mm.; width 5 mm.; thickness 0.5 mm. (holotype).Locality: Boring 8 (694 feet) \\'OODBURIr formation.Holotypc: ANSP 30750.Named in honor <strong>of</strong> Kcmble Widmer, <strong>State</strong> Geologist <strong>of</strong> Nem <strong>Jersey</strong>.Cyclorisma jerseyensis Richards n. sp.Plate 93, Figures 21, 22Shell small, subtriangular, posterior end slightly attenuate; tectllnot well preserved, bnt similar to those <strong>of</strong> Cyclorisnra alta (Conrad)Surface ornamented with fairly prominent irregularly spaced ribs wit11wider interspaces; faint concentric lines between the ribs, and finerradial striations.Cyclori.snaa jerseyensis differs from C. nlta (Conrad) <strong>of</strong> the BlsekCreek formation <strong>of</strong> Korth Carolina by its coarser sculpture, and bybeing more elongate than C. dta ml~ich is almost circular.Dinlonsions: Length 4.5 mm. ; width 5.3 mm. ; thickness I .2 mm.Locality: Boring 16 (1648 feet) RtlRITAN formation.Holotype: ANSI' 30749.Linearia transcontinentalis Eichards n. sp.Plate 93, Figure 6Shell small, subelliptical in outline, depressed convex. Anterior andposterior margins both rounded ; basal post,erior margin convex. Bealznot clearly shown, but apparently small. Surface <strong>of</strong> the shell markedby fine concentric ribs and separated by depressed furrows about twoto three times the width <strong>of</strong> the ridges, also by radiating furrows whichcut through the eoneent,ric ridges. These are more conspicuous on t,hcmargins <strong>of</strong> the shell than in the ccnt,er, but are not nearly as prominent.as in L. mctastriata Conrad. The fnrrolr-s on the anterior part arefarther apart than upon the posterior portion <strong>of</strong> the shell and areslightly more conspic~~ons.Linenria transcontinentalis differs from I,. ntetastviata Conrad inthat its concentric ribs are coarser, the radiating lateral ridges are lessconspicuons, and the shell is less convex.Dimensions: Length 3.8 mm. ; width 5.5 mm.
