Description
FIG. 4. Scaphite terminology (after Landman et al., 2013: 9, fig. 3). A. Macroconch, right lateral view. The shell is oriented in the probable floating position when the body was withdrawn into the body chamber. The umbilical seam of the shaft in macroconchs is straight with a slight umbilical bulge. Abbreviations: HP = whorl height along the long axis; HS = whorl height at midshaft; HH = whorl height at the point of recurvature; LMAX= maximum length along the long axis; apt. <)= apertural angle. B. Microconch, right lateral view. In Hoploscaphites sargklofak, n. sp., the microconch is 69% of the size of the macroconch or, inversely, the macroconch is 145% of the size of the microconch. The umbilical seam of the shaft in microconchs is curved and follows the curvature of the venter. Specimens are photographed from lateral, ventral, and apertural views, as shown. C. Close-up of the umbilicus of the macroconch showing the umbilical diameter measured parallel to the long axis (UD). D. View of the venter of the body chamber at midshaft, with the adoral direction toward the top, showing the width of the venter (VS), as measured between the ventrolateral margins.
