. A description of the fossil fish remains of the Cretaceous, Eocene and Miocene formations of New Jersey. Fishes, Fossil; Paleontology; Geology. ELASMOBRANCHII. G CORAX FALCATUS Agassiz'. 63 Galeocerdo falcatus Cope, Rep. U. S. Geol. Sun-. Terr. Hayden, II, 1875, p. 295. (Greensand of New Jersey.) Teeth moderately broad, greatly compressed, and moderately high. Crown moderately oblique to nearly erect, high, smooth, broad and greatly compressed. Outer coronal surface usually flattened or but slightly convex. Inner coronal surface convex. Apex slightly deflected, broad, compressed. Cutting-edges with feeble serrations, or almost smooth. No basal cusps. Root moderately broad, deep, compressed, inner surface depressed or slightly concave and outer surface moderately convex, not bulg- ing much. Lower margin emarginate. Length 20 && Fig. 28.—Corax falcatus Agassiz. 1-4, New Jersey (Kilvington) ; 5, Mon- mouth Co. (Knieskern) ; 6, Mullica Hill (Abbott) ; 7-8, Pemberton (Bryan). This is a smaller species than the next, which it closely re- sembles. Formation and locality. The following from the Cretaceous, without data as to the beds, seem to belong to this species : "New Jersey" 5 (Kilvington) ; Monmouth County 1 (P. D. Knies- kern) ; Pemberton in Burlington County 2 (T. M. Bryan) ; Mul- lica Hill in Gloucester County 1 (C. C. Abbott). [The forma- tions are probably the Navesink-Hornerstown marl and the Man- asquan marl, K.].
