Author Institution: Dept of Geology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OHHall (1856) described without illustrations six species of the rostroconch Conocardium in his study of the fauna of the Salem Limestone in Indiana and the Warsaw Shale in Illinois. The species represent five genera, two of which are new, Leptoconocardium and Kyoconocardium. Other species represent the genera Hippocardia Brown, 1843; Oxyprora Hoare, Mapes, and Yancey, 2002; and Diedrorynchus Hoare and Peck, 2005

Lobarochiton, New Generic Designation for Gryphochiton? Anomalus (Rowley) (Polyplacophora)

Author Institution: Department of Geology, Bowling Green State UniversityA new generic designation Lobarochiton is proposed for the Lower Mississippian taxon originally described by Rowley (1908) from the Louisiana Limestone of Missouri as Platyceras (?) anomalum. Williams (1943) recognized the polyplacophoran affinities and questionably assigned the taxon to the genus Gryphochiton Gray. Subsequent study of the holotype, a tail valve, has shown the presence of primitive insertion plates and differences in valve shape and outline which distinguish it from other known genera of polyplacophorans. Lobarochiton is assigned to the Family Lepidopleuridae Pilsbry, 1892
