Kobayashiceras gifuense, a new actinocerid cephalopod from the Lower Devonian of Japan
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 May 2016
Abstract
A new actinocerid genus, Kobayashiceras, is defined on the basis of Kobayashiceras gifuense new species from the Lochkovian (Early Devonian) of the Fukuji Formation, central Japan. This genus shares with known actinocerids in the apical shell morphology, but is diagnosed by its orthocerid like stenosiphonate form in the adoral shell. Its taxonomic and paleobiogeographic implications are discussed.
