Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. A. S. McMenamin 2019Vetulicolian with a body divided into a broad, laterally flattened anterior section and relatively narrow posterior or tail region. The anterior section is divided into a relatively smooth dorsal part with a denticulate dorsal fin and a segmented or partitioned ventral part. The dorsal fin has a thin ridge that parallels the base of the fin. A wedge beak occurs at the anterior junction of the dorsal and ventral parts. Five gill structures with filaments occur between the dorsal and ventral parts of the anterior section. The dorsal and ventral parts of the anterior section have approximately similar (but inverted relative to one another) profiles. The unsegmented posterior or tail region develops a notochord, a gut trace with diverticula, and at least seven myomeres. The posterior tip of the tail region is unknown.
