Description. P 1 element slightly stellate, blade slightly bowed in oral view, with an outer lateral lobe and an anteriorly-oriented inner lateral process. Denticles in center of blade slightly taller than those towards the posterior or anterior ends of the element. Inner lateral process contains small denticles. Outer lateral lobe without ornamentation. Basal cavity wide and highly excavated under basal platform.
Remarks. The geometry of the blade and inner lateral process and highly excavated basal cavity is similar to many species of Aulacognathus . However, no features diagnostic of a species within Aulacognathus are present. The specimens are very small and are interpreted as being juveniles, so either the specimens may represent a heretofore undescribed species, or diagnostic features are not developed.
Material examined. Two P 1 elements.
