Extract

There are two specimens, both exfoliated, which seem to be co-specific, and to belong to Sphenotus. The larger one is the worse preserved of the two, but the other shows some distortion by pressure; it retains the right valve, which however had its characters very much obscured. A third crushed and exfoliated individual from Gramadal Quebrada may also belong to the species.
