paleonet Ptilodictya scalpellum Lonsdale



Greetings,

I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to track down recent references to 
Ptilodictya scalpellum Lonsdale. According to Murchison (1854, page 
216; Fossils 36): "It is a common species in the Wenlock Limestone."

Has it been synonymized with something else?

Cheers,

Doug
