Atraktoprion View in CoL ? spp.

Fig. 8J, K.

Material. —One right and one left MII? ( ZPAL Sc.8/4.17, 2.3), samples S.Zo.2, S.Kh.1, from sections 70 and 71, Lochkovian, Podolia.

Remarks. —Longitudinal branch of the both, right and left forms arch shaped, long and narrow, bear about 14 comparatively big denticles decreasing in size posteriorly. Transversal branch short, narrow and pointed.

It is not certain if the jaws belong to the same species. It is possible that they are conspecific with the above described Atraktoprion podolicus sp. nov. or Atraktoprion ? sp. A. The right jaw (Fig. 8J) has been found in the same sample as the specimens of Atraktoprion podolicus sp. nov. while the left jaw in the same sample as Atraktoprion ? sp. A.
