Cucullaea morani
Taxonomy
Cucullaea morani was named by Waring (1914). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is 1.5 miles East of McCray Wells, which is in an Eocene marine horizon in the Llajas Formation of California.
It was recombined as Nemodon morani by Nelson (1925); it was recombined as Cucullaria morani by Kooser (1980).
