Palimphemus seymourensis sp. nov. (Figs 4G—M, 6G—I) Material. Holotype: NRM-PZ P.15973 (Figs 4G—I, 6G—I). Paratypes: six specimens, NRM-PZ P.15974—15975 (Fig. 4J—M). Occurrence. Telm 5 unit; ‘ Natica horizon’, Cucullea I member, La Meseta Formation, late Ypresian, early Eocene. Site IAA 2/95, Seymour Island, Antarctica. Etymology. Named after the type locality Seymour Island in Antarctica. Diagnosis. Outline droplet-shaped with broadly rounded anterior rim and slightly elevated predorsal region. OL: OH = 1.8—1.9. Inner face moderately convex. Sulcus narrow, with moderately widened collum and distinct, but short pseudocolliculum. CaL:OsL (measured from centre of collum) = 1.2—1.35. Colliculi often reduced towards outer margin, particularly ostial colliculum. Ventral furrow well developed, close to ventral rim of otolith. Description. Moderately elongate and moderately thick droplet-shaped otoliths of up to 4.5 mm in length (holotype 4.5 mm long). OH:OT = 2.1—2.5.
