Description

Apparatus composed of symmetrical and asymmetrical elements forming transition series. Elements with recurved cusp considerably longer than base of unit. One type of clement with strong, symmetrical or asymmetrical, lateral costae; other type with more or less twisted, carinate or grooved cusp; basal cavity of moderate size, restricted to base. [Absence of geniculate elements in the apparatus distinguishes Protopanderodus from Drepanoistodus, Paltodus, and Paroistodus. Apparatus reconstruction: LINDSTRO, 1971.]
