Strophomena spp.

Scale bar is 5 mm

Very similar to Tetraphalerella. On weathered or etched specimens, pseudopunctae in Strophomena can be seen to be irregularly distributed, whereas pseudopunctae in Tetraphalerella are arranged in radial rows. Some Cincinnatian Strophomena have been tentatively referred to by some workers as species of Trigrammaria, which is distinguished by a subtriangular folded shape.

Species

Strophomena concordensis Foerste, 1909
Occurrence: Arnheim

Referred later by Foerste (1917) to Schuchertella, but that genus is not known from rocks older than Silurian, so that assignment is in doubt.
