Together with Lance Grande, he was also the first to recognize the presence of fossil gadiforms in the Eocene of the La Meseta Formation. Diagnosis. OL:OH = 1.85—1.95. Ventral rim regularly and moderately deeply curved. All rims and outer face intensely crenulated. CCL: OCL = 1.3. Collum rather wide, with distinct pseudocolliculum. Description.
