Plate 36, Figs. 3A – 4B .

unknown plagonid group C sp 21, Trubovitz et al., 2020, supplementary data 7.

Remarks. This species is distinct for its flat-topped cephalis, with irregular pore shapes and sizes. However, with only two specimens observed, we cannot formally describe it here.

Material examined. 2 specimens from Late Miocene samples 321-1337D-23H- 6, 134–137cm and 321-1337A-12H-5, 23–26cm.

Range. Late Miocene, in the EEP ( Table 1 ).
