Abstract
Baculites reduncus, n. sp., is a moderately large ammonite that has a curved shell, a large angle of taper, and a stout ovate cross section. Conspicuous broad, arcuate ribs cross the upper two-thirds of the flank. The suture, which is fairly complex, has a distinctive lateral lobe. All the types are from the lower part of the Rock River Formation near Rock River, Wyo. The species is of late Campanian age and marks a zone between the Zones of Baculites gregoryensis Cobban and B. scotti Cobban
