Abstract
Abstract. A new hibbertopterid eurypterid, Cyrtoctenus bambachi n. sp., is described from the Early Mississippian (Tournaisian) Price Formation of western Virginia. The same unit yields an unidentifiable stylonurine eurypterid. These are the first eurypterids documented from the Mississippian of North America, and only the fourth locality of this age anywhere in the world to yield eurypterids.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Paleontology publishes original articles and notes on the systematics, phylogeny, paleoecology, paleogeography, and evolution of fossil organisms. It emphasizes specimen-based research and features high quality illustrations. All taxonomic groups are treated, including invertebrates, microfossils, plants, vertebrates, and ichnofossils.
