Abstract

A new species of teuthid squid, Teudopsis cadominensis, is described from the Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) Poker Chip Shale of the Fernie Formation in central-western Alberta. Fossil squids are rare in the Mesozoic of North America; this species is the first record of the family Palaeololiginidae in North America and the first member of the suborder Mesoteuthina in the Jurassic of North America.
