Abstract
ABSTRACT A new late Mississippian trilobite species, Kaskia pitkinensis, new species, is described from the Pitkin Formation of Arkansas. Kaskia pitkinensis, recovered from early Serpukhovian strata, is the youngest species of the Kaskia clade known in the United States. Kaskia c.f. K. wilsoni (Walter, 1924) also is illustrated. Cyrtoproetus kerhini, new species, from the upper Fayetteville Formation of Arkansas is also described. Richterella hindesvillensis Hessler, 1965, from the Hindesville Limestone of Oklahoma, is herein reassigned to the genus Cyrtoproetus Reed, 1943. Cyrtoproetus kerhini, new species, and C. hindesvillensis (Hessler, 1965) are the first known occurrences of Cyrtoproetus in North America.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Carnegie Museum is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed short and medium-length original scientific contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Subject matter must be relevant to Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientific sections or Powdermill Nature Reserve (PNR), preferably with connection to the Carnegie collection and/or personnel. Carnegie Museum staff and research associates receive publication priority, but others are encouraged to submit papers, especially those manuscripts explicitly based on the Carnegie collection.
