Abstract

Representatives of the ancestral cyclolobin ammonoid Demarezites Ruzhencev (Cyclolobidae) are known from only a few localities in North America where they occur as rare faunal elements. Demarezites furnishi n. sp. is based on a single specimen from “Middle” Permian (Roadian) strata in the Meade Peak Member of the Phosphoria Formation in eastern Idaho. Several specimens of the closely comparable Demarezites n. sp., described herein, are known from the Pipeline Shale Member of the Brushy Canyon Formation in West Texas.
