Eokosovopeltis cf. currajongensis ( Edgecombe and Webby, 2007) View in CoL
Fig. 6H View Fig .
Material.—One pygidium from a limestone layer above the mudstone at locality 1 (repository number NIGP−152002).
Remarks.—This pygidium differs from Eokosovopeltis sp. in having much narrower pleural furrows and a narrower (tr.) axial region. It is similar to pygidia of Eokosovopeltis currahttp ://dx.doi.org/10.4202/app.2010.0036
jongensis Edgecombe and Webby (2007: fig. 4C, D, F–I); both have seven pairs of pleural ribs. Due to poor preservation, the specific identification as E. currajongensis is provisional.
Styginidae indet. sp. A
Fig. 6J View Fig .
Material.—Two thoraco−pygidia (repository number NIGP−152004).
Remarks.—The sub−circular outline and absence of pygidial pleural furrows resemble Bumastus (see Chatterton and Ludvigsen 1976: pl. 5: 12, 37). However, the presence of distinct ridge along inner margin of marginal border is not present in Bumastus . These specimens may be associated with co−occurring Meitanillaenus ? sp., since they resemble the thoraco−pygidium of Meitanillaenus binodosus Chang (1974 : pl. 81: 6). However, they have much less distinct axial furrows and lack the antero−most pair of pleural furrows.
Styginidae indet. sp. B
Fig. 6I View Fig
Material.—Two hypostomes (repository number NIGP−152003).
Remarks.—The hypostomes are of styginid (e.g., see Whittington 1988: fig. 9 for Bumastus ). They are characterized by a more pentagonal outline and a pair of short, closely−spaced spines along posterior margin. The hypostomes may be associated with co−occurring Meitanillaenus ? sp.
