Abstract:

Continued acid digestion of blocks of limestone from the Ypresian/Lutetian deposits at Black Crow, a fossiliferous locality in the Sperrgebiet, Namibia, has resulted in a crop of mammalian, reptilian and fish remains, among which there is a maxilla with four teeth of the poorly known Todralestidae, Namalestes gheerbranti. This is the first known upper dentition of the genus, and it permits detailed comparison to other todralestids from North Africa. Keywords: Palaeogene, Namibia, Biochronology, Fossil, Carbonates, Teeth.
