Extract

Arceodomus Pojeta and Runnegar (1976) is a relatively rare genus of rostroconch. To date, four species have been reported in the literature: A. langenheimi (Wilson, 1970) from the Lower Permian McCloud Limestone in California; A. glabrata (Easton, 1962) from the Upper Mississippian Heath Formation of Montana and later, by Pojeta and Runnegar (1976), from the Upper Mississippian Diamond Peak Formation of Nevada; Arceodomus sp. from the Permian of the U.S.S.R. (Pojeta and Runnegar, 1976), based upon a specimen in the British Museum of Natural History; and A. aff. A. glabrata from the Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Dickerson Shale Member of the Lazy Bend Formation in Texas (Pojeta and Runnegar, 1976).
