Hoarepora prattenanum
Taxonomy
Conocardium prattenanum was named by Hall (1856). Its type specimen is AMNH F1 39214, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Bank of Mississippi river, near Alton, which is in a Meramecian carbonate limestone in the Salem Formation of Illinois.
It was recombined as Bransonia prattenanum by Hoare (1990); it was recombined as Oxyprora prattenanum by Hoare (2006); it was recombined as Hoarepora prattenanum by Mazaev (2023).

Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
R. D. Hoare 2006 | Small with strongly-produced, prow-shaped, rostral face; dorsal margin straight; beaks opisthogyrate; snout set-off from body laterally by distinct change in slope; body not swollen; anterior gape large, wide, narrowing posteriorly, slightly expanded at anterior end, denticles apparently absent; rostral face with six coarse, concentric, intercalated costae; ventral orifice small, circular; primary carina rounded, similar in size to adjacent rostral face costa; body with 9 smaller, narrow, widely-spaced costae, some of which are intercalated; snout with 5 closely-spaced costae, partially intercalated, larger than body costae; prominent, fine, comarginal, growth crenulations on body, snout, and rostral face; larval shell not present.
Oxyprora equilaterale is similar to O. prattenanum in general but differs in having seven concentric costae on the rostral face, fewer and larger body costae, a stronger primary carina, and less produced rostral face. |
