, pl. 9, fig. 5-7.
HOLOTYPE
: Cranidium, PMO NF 651 (figured in
Fortey, 1974
: pl. 9, fig. 5).
TYPE LOCALITY
: Profilstranda, Olenidsletta Member, Valhallfonna Formation, Ny Friesland, Spitsbergen,
Svalbard
.
STRATIGRAPHIC RANGE
:
Fortey (1974)
reported this subspecies from a single horizon about
8 m
above the base of the Olenidsletta Member, which is estimated to be around
12.5 m
in the 2016 stratigraphic section. Additional specimens were recovered in 2016 from
17–19 m
in section, which extends the stratigraphic range of this subspecies, but the total range remains within the early half of the stratigraphic range of the other subspecies,
Cloacaspis ceryx ceryx
(fig. 1)
.
DIAGNOSIS:
Cloacaspis ceryx
species with relatively narrow preglabellar field (0.06–0.10 length of glabella) and smooth exoskeletal surface.
