Abstract
Thousands of specimens of the enigmatic fossil Gluteus minimus (new genus, new species) occur in a 5-centimeter-thick interval within the Maple Mill Shale and in equivalent deposits of the Devonian of eastern Iowa. They are roughly lenticular. bilobed fossils up to 11 millimeters in diameter and 8 millimeters thick. These objects consistently asymmetrical in the same direction. defy placement in any known higher taxon when their morphology. histology, and apatitic composition are considered.
