The central squat teardrop-shaped crown section is smooth and rounded anteriorly and raised slightly, curving to a posterior point with three short anterior ridges that extend less than a quarter scale length. There is a pair of lateral flattened lappets with a simple but slightly imperfect (damaged?) rim with small scallop-shaped concavities, two on one side and one on the other. The central surface of the crown is smooth with a broad middle raised ridge extending from the midpoint near the base to the posterior point. The neck is smooth and low. The anteriorly placed base is a rounded torus: relatively smooth, deep, and mature with a smaller central rounded pulp opening. One possible thelodont specimen (Suppl. 1, fig. 25:?) from level 591.5 just above the SD boundary appears typical of

). The small regular concavities on the rim of the lateral lappets of the specimen might be damage made in handling the specimen or a pathological feature as they resemble bite-marks, but this has not been seen elsewhere. Lepidophagy is common in modern bony fishes and it is feasible that the scale was attacked in life or alternatively post-mortem by another fish or even by an unknown invertebrate.
