Dapsilodus viruensis (Fåhræus, 1966) from the Mójcza Limestone.

Apparatus of Dapsilodus viruensis (Fåhræus, 1966)

Diagnoza

Elements ornamented with longitudinal striae, usually best developed close to the panderodont furrow, external margins smooth.

Porównanie

Apparatus composition presented by Dzik (1976) and Löfgren (1978). The size of the elements increases significantly through the Mójcza section from the appearance of the species to its typical populations . The oldest known specimens are more robust than typical ones, with shorter cusps and oval cross-section. In this respect they somewhat resemble Cornuodus elements.
