Ceratodus eruciferus , sp. nov.

A basal lamina separable from the dentigerous lamina. The latter supports ribs which diverge from a single marginal rib which extends along one side. Ttie marginal rib is separated by a deep groove from the radiating ribs, which is contintuous with the grooves between the latter. The ribs are of irregular diameter and not perfectly straight; they are interrupted by weak transverse ridges which project beyond the margins. The ridges rises abrtuptly from their common base and are separated distally by notches of the margain.
