Description
Original description of Woodward, 1889 [2593]:
Type. Head and anterior portion of trunk, shown, of two thirds the natural size, in PI. XVII. fig. 8. An extremely elongated species. Length of snout in advance of the mouth not less than three times as great as the width of the head at this position. Extent of the caudal fin not equalling more than one half the entire length of the trunk in advance of its origin. Teeth with the posterior face of the coronal cusp promi-nently striated, scarcely differing from the teeth of S. lewisii.
Form. & Loc. Upper Creta-ceous (Senonian): Sahel Alma, Mount Lebanon, Syria.
P. 4774. Type specimen, mostly' shown, of two thirds the natural size, in PI. XVII. fig. 8. The outline of the slender snout is well exhibited; the mouth is large; the vertebral centra are much elongated; and the body is cov-ered with fine dense shagreen. Several teeth of both jaws are preserved, all being slender, but those placed near the symphysis possess especially high and narrow crowns.
