Further details such as suckers or arm length are not determinable. The two fishes are situated between two greyish eyeballs and obviously take the former position of the buccal mass.

0.33). Taking into account a certain degree of dorsoventral compaction the overall width was slightly less. Apart from this issue, parts of the lateral field are poorly visible. In particular, their anterior extensions are hidden behind mantle musculature and thus complicate interpretations. Outer asymptotes (opening angle c.15°) as well as growth increments suggest that the transition from the parabolar lateral field to the hyperbolar zone is sharp (pointed) and distinctly projected. The hyperbolar zone is accordingly V-shaped and deeply incised. The hyperbolar zone takes

wide. This is simultaneously the widest part of the median field; anteriorly, its width is decreasing. The ratio median field width at anterior end of the hyperbolar zone to hyperbolar zone length of 0.21 suggests a slender to very slender opening angle of the median field of 1112°. The lateral margins of the median field (adjacent to the hyperbolar zones) are plate-like reinforced. Anteriorly, these diverging reinforcements reach a maximum width of
