Maurotarion

Description

Maurotarion sp. indet.

(Fig. 6.8, 6.10, 6.13)

Material. SUI 109043, from locality CR-C.

Discussion. A single librigena from Locality CR-C is obviously different from those of either Maurotarion chrysion or M. wenbanense from the same assemblage and probably represents a rare third species. The specimen differs from librigenae of M. chrysion in having a more laterally curved lateral border and genal spine, a wider field, a better impressed lateral border furrow, a narrower lateral border, and narrower doublure. It is somewhat more similar to librigenae of M. wenbanense, but obviously has a much longer genal spine.
