Fig. 14N, O View Fig .

Material.— Two ventral valves: MPUM12065 View Materials ( RCC2- 58 View Materials a); MPUM12066 View Materials (WI1-32) from mud mound complex of Ricklow Quarry , Monyash , Derbyshire, UK, Monsal Dale Limestone Formation , Brigantian (RCC-, RCK-), and Wensley Dale , Matlock , Derbyshire, UK, Eyam Limestone Formation , upper Brigantian, upper Visean (WI1) .

Description.—Small shell with suboval outline; maximum width at shell mid-length. Anterior commissure uniplicate. Shallow, rounded sulcus develops at 10.0 mm from the umbo, extending into a tongue anteriorly. Few growth lamellae and growth lines. Ventral adminicula and septum absent.

Remarks.—The specimens are attributed to the Martiniinae based on their concentric ornamentation, shallow sulcus and absence of ventral adminicula. They are left under open nomenclature due to their poor preservation.
