Found in the upper Clinton limestone, the Clinton lenses, and the lower Rochester shale up to and in the Bryozoa bed. Rarely above this. Also at Lockport and elsewhere (Hall). Genus stropheodonta Hall [Ety.: arpocprj, bend; odous, tooth] (1852. Pal. N. Y. 2:63. Hall & Clarke, 1892; Pal, N. Y. v. 8, pt 1, p. 284) Shell normally concavo-convex; hinge line usually equal to or greater, than the greatest width of the shell. Area of the pedicle valve higher than that of the brachial valve, both furnished with projecting denticulations, which interlock and form articulations. Muscular areas well marked and variously bounded. A strongly marked bifid cardinal process occurs in the brachial Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability -
