Gen. indet.
Description
Gen. et sp. indet.
EXAMINED MATERIAL. — FSAC-Bouj-372 (Fig. 5G), proximal fragment of a right pectoral spine.
DESCRIPTION
Only the left part of the proximal portion of the spine is preserved. The cleithral process is short with a thick and smooth external surface. The ornamentation of the base of the shaft is formed by ridges and thin tubercles.
REMARKS
The spine is too fragmentary to be attributed to a siluriform family, but the ornamentation pattern of the spine body is reminiscent of ariid pectoral spines.
