Eubaculites simplex

Cephalopoda - Ammonitida - Baculitidae

Taxonomy

Baculites vagina simplex was named by Kossmat (1895) [DISTRIBUTION: Maastrichtian; South Africa; India, Western Australia.]. It is not a trace fossil.

It was recombined as Giralites simplex by Brunnschweiler (1966); it was recombined as Eubaculites simplex by Henderson et al. (1992) and Klinger and Kennedy (1993).

Synonyms

Eubaculiceras compressum was named by Brunnschweiler (1966). Its type specimen is CPC 2724, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Giralia Anticline (Brunnschweiler collection, lower Miria Fm), which is in a Maastrichtian carbonate marl in the Miria Formation of Australia.

It was synonymized subjectively with Eubaculites simplex by Henderson et al. (1992).
