Odontochitinopsis incerta
From Fensome et al., 2019:
Odontochitinopsis incerta (Deflandre-Rigaud, 1954, p.59; text-fig.3) Eisenack and Klement, 1964, p.563. Holotype: Deflandre-Rigaud, 1954, text-fig.3. Originally Ceratocystidiopsis (Appendix A), subsequently (and now) Odontochitinopsis. Lentin and Williams (1981, p.199) retained this species in Odontochitinopsis. This combination was not validly published in Eisenack (1961, p.299), since that author did not fully reference the basionym. Age: Late Cretaceous.

Original description (Deflandre-Rigaud, 1954) Translation PKB 2025
Body deformed ellipsoidal, with a very strong polar horn, an opposite horn of smaller size and a long, curved lateral horn, notably more slender. Body; length 53 µ. width 28 µ. Main horn: length 55 µ, width at base 17 µ. Holotype BW 44.
