A Lower Devonian ammonoid, Mimagoniatites nearcticus n. sp., from the Canadian Arctic

A newly discovered ammonoid, Mimagoniatites nearcticus n. sp., is described from upper Zlichovian–lower Dalejan (Lower Devonian) strata in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. This species is distinguished primarily by its extremely narrow profile and high degree of whorl involution. It is the most grac...
