Fromea apiculata
Fromea apiculata (Cookson and Eisenack, 1960) Stover and Evitt, 1978
Originally Palaeostomocystis, subsequently Fromea?, thirdly (and now) Fromea.
Stover and Evitt, 1978, considered this to be a provisionally accepted species of Fromea. Jansonius, 1989, included this species in Fromea without question.
Holotype: Cookson and Eisenack, 1960, pl.3, fig.15
Locus typicus: Carnarvon Basin, Australia
Stratum typicum: Santonian-Campanian
Original description: Cookson and Eisenack, 1960, p.12: Palaeostomocystis apiculata
Shell ellipsoidal, straight or with one side more strongly convex than the other, narrowing toward the slightly sunken aperture. Shell membrane thin, slightly thickened around the aperture, usually with sparsely distributed spinules in the anterior and posterior regions.
Dimensions: Holotype: 62 Ám long, 35 Ám broad. Range: 38-62x19-35 Ám.
