The effects of informal learning environments on engineering education
Creators: name: Brown, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This mixed-methods grounded theory study investigates the development of engineering identity cultivated through engagement in informal learning experiences. In addition, the retention of engineering students and academic performance are investigated for connections to these learning environments. This is the beginning of work to identify best practices for engineering education outside of the formal undergraduate classroom experience. This research provides a framework for investigating the various factors that contribute to the success of low performing engineering students. The essential research categories to the study are (1) Informal learning Environments, (2) Engineering Identity, (3) Academic Performance, and (4) Retention. The tools used to investigate these categories include peer focus groups and the Academic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey (APPLES). APPLES is a research tool developed and used by the National Science Foundation-funded Academic Pathways Study (2010). It is designed to measure engineering students’ educational experience, knowledge of the engineering field, and post-graduation plans. The collected data on existing programs and activities- including summer bridge engineering programs, internships, coops, tutoring, study groups, mentoring, etc. – suggest that there are connections between the out-of-class commitments of students and their ability to identify with the engineering field. The study also offers performance and retention implications for our low performing engineering students. The research findings unpack salient features for the most noted learning environments and their impact on engineering identity. Through this investigation, the researcher can make recommendations for services, programs, and experiences that can support at-risk students completing their engineering degree.

description: Currently, one third of teachers in the United States were trained by alternate route programs (Constantine et al., 2009). Although alternate routes programs fill a need within the education landscape, it is not enough to get more teachers into classrooms faster. Teachers must be prepared to address the needs of their students. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the skills teachers need to be effective. With the urgency to address the shortage of special education teachers and the alternate certification programs created to address this need, research is necessary to inform the traditional and alternate special education teacher preparation programs (Brownell, Ross, Colon & McCallum, 2005). Participants described being academically prepared to address their students’ needs. They described utilizing classroom competencies, such as relationship building skills and specific special education competencies, such as assessing students reading abilities. Participants also described including students’ cultures in their lessons to bridge gaps between students’ understanding and the content. In contrast to how some culturally responsive teaching practices were evident in participants’ instruction, participants were unable to identify specific details they learned to help them address the social emotional needs of their students. One participant explicitly stated she was not prepared to address the needs of her students at her school. This could be attributed to her school setting, because she taught in an alternative school. While this participant explicitly stated she was not prepared to address the needs of her students, responses from all participants suggested a foundational knowledge of how to address the social and emotional needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students may indicate a gap in the curriculum at Relay Graduate School of Education and other teacher preparation programs. Special education teachers may benefit from instruction on how to address the social emotional needs of their students. Social emotional needs may affect a student academically (Durlak et al., 2011). Without knowledge on the impact of a students’ social emotional needs, a teacher may not effectively, address the academic needs of his/her students and thus may not meet the needs of the whole learner.

description: The effect of isotretinoin on inflammatory markers has been reported with conflicting results. No studies have been reported on the relationship between isotretinoin and lymphocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] ratio (LHR), neutrophil/HDL-C ratio (NHR), or platelet/HDL-C ratio (PHR) in acne patients. We aimed to investigate how isotretinoin affects the inflammatory markers, including LHR, NHR, and PHR, in acne vulgaris patients. A total of 361 patients with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris who received systemic isotretinoin for at least six months were included. Complete blood count and biochemical analyses, including monocyte/HDL-C ratio (MHR), NHR, LHR, PHR, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), obtained at the treatment onset and the end of the first, third, and sixth months of treatment were investigated. There was no significant difference in MHR and NHR levels between repeated measures. A significant increasing trend was seen in LHR and PHR (P = 0.001 and P = 0.011, respectively). HDL-C levels gradually and significantly declined during the six months (P < 0.001). Serum NLR, derived NLR, SII, SIRI, MLR, and AISI showed a significant decrease in line with clinical improvement in acne during the six months of therapy (P < 0.05). Declining levels of NLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI may indicate the anti-inflammatory effects of isotretinoin on the pilosebaceous unit, whereas increasing levels of LHR and PHR may show systemic inflammatory activity of isotretinoin.

Teachers’ experiences in a critical friends group: a focus on student writing
Creators: name: Comollo, Erin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: A growing body of literature on teacher learning highlights that teachers are not likely to change their practices as a result of participating in traditional one-shot conference and workshop professional development activities, and suggests that a more effective approach is a teacher-driven, situated, collaborative, and sustained one (Ball & Cohen, 1999; Brown et al., 1995; Bruce, 2010; Burke, 2013; Cochran Smith & Lytle, 1999; Little, 2002; Nelson, Slavit, Perkins, & Hathorn, 2008; Putnam & Borko, 2000; Newmann, Smith, Allensworth, & Bryk, 2001; Smith, Hofer, Gillespie, Solomon, & Rowe, 2008; Wood, 2007). Research shows that Critical Friends Groups (CFG) can be an effective way to enact this type of professional development (Bambino, 2002; Baskerville & Goldblatt, 2009; Curry, 2008; Dunne et al., 2000; Kember et al., 1997; Swaffield, 2004).As a first grade teacher, I was aware that my colleagues and I had few meaningful opportunities to learn with and from each other. Therefore, I sought to introduce Critical Friends Groups in order to understand how elementary teachers in an independent school experienced research-based professional development focused on writing instruction. The three products in this paper reflect the outcomes and challenges relating to the implementation of a CFG in a school that previously had not used this form of professional development. First, in an article written for publication in a practitioner journal, I detail the CFG processes that supported changes to teachers’ practices and community and collegial benefits that occurred as a result of participating in a CFG focused on student writing. Next, I present teacher training sessions to describe how the CFG implementation process and the factors that influenced the implementation in order to help teachers consider how to drive their own change efforts forward within their school contexts. Finally, a facilitator’s handbook describes the roles, responsibilities, challenges, and possible solutions that are required in order to be an effective CFG facilitator.
Liberating the read-aloud: supporting teachers' critical literacy practice around race, ethnicity, and equity

description: This study followed the course of a professional development intervention to support kindergarten teachers in using a critical literacy approach to teach their students about race, ethnicity, and equity. The purpose of the design-based intervention, which took place in a diverse but somewhat racially segregated school district, was to empower students to critique discrimination, racism, and systems of inequity. The research itself aimed to gain insight into how and to what degree teacher-participants took on an anti-racist teaching role through participation in a collaborative professional learning community “study group.” The study that found that White participants employed many and various rationales to demarcate boundaries around what they were comfortable with and willing to teach. Despite White participants’ ambitious goals for societal change through shaping student attitudes, their avoidance and resistance limited the curriculum they ultimately taught. Implications of the study include the importance of balancing consciousness-raising and White racial identity development efforts with anti-racist classroom actions for White teacher education. Additionally, the process of conducting this study shed light on ways to improve the intervention for future iterations.
The impact of professional development through a graduate course on multimedia technology on teachers’ beliefs about multimedia and their implementation of multimedia into their teaching practice, including to meet the Common Core state standards
Creators: name: Hough, Marianthony K.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to help determine teachers’ beliefs about multimedia and its relationship to literacy and the literacy standards of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). It looks at how four teachers’ professional development experiences through an online graduate course at Rutgers University called “Web-Based Multimedia Design for Educators” influenced their beliefs about multimedia and their own efficacy to infuse multimedia into their lessons to meet state and local standards. The questions which guided this study were:1) What beliefs do teachers have regarding multimedia and literacy?2) How does teacher professional development in a graduate course on web-based multimedia instruction impact the way they think about multimedia and its purpose in classroom instruction?a. How does what the teachers learn about multimedia influence their efficacy to infuse multimedia into their lessons?b. How does what they learn influence their view of how multimedia can be interpreted and articulated to meet the Common Core State Standards? This study was informed by the research related to multimedia, literacy, teacher beliefs, and teacher professional development. The Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989; 1993) was also utilized to inform the analysis of data and to determine the multiple factors that could potentially impact the teachers’ acceptance or rejection of multimedia technology into their instruction. The findings of this research study demonstrated that studying teachers’ beliefs can provide insight into teachers’ rationale for utilizing or rejecting the use of multimedia technology.The Technology Acceptance Model provided a useful analytic lens through which to identify intrinsic factors that affected teachers’ use of multimedia technology, such as their beliefs about multimedia technology and their feelings of self-efficacy to use multimedia in their instruction. It also helped to identify external factors that impacted their beliefs and usage of multimedia technology, such as the state mandated Common Core State Standards; their professional development; their access to resources; and pressures from schools leaders and curriculum requirements. Though the teachers did not define or utilize multimedia technology in the same way, they did feel it benefited students’ learning and engagement and their ability to enhance students’ literacy skills.

Consolidation and reorganization of schools and school districts in the United States from 1993 to 2012: an examination of the influence of state policies and laws on educational restructuring
Creators: name: Kerrigan, Steven M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: The current study seeks to identify a possible connection between the consolidation and reorganization of public school districts and schools and state-level legislation throughout the United States from 1993 through 2012. A mixed methods approach was utilized. Quantitative analysis of statewide public school district data identified states exhibiting downward trends in total numbers of schools and districts while enrollment increased or remained consistent. Nine Downward Trending States (DTS) were identified: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, and South Carolina. Specific terms were used to search state legislature websites of the DTS to identify legislative actions potentially connected to consolidation and reorganization. Search terms utilized were: public schools, districts, consolidation, reorganization, funding, taxes, facilities, enrollment, construction, cost, and transportation. Major findings include 138 legislative actions potentially connected to consolidation and reorganization in these states. Qualitative analysis of the identified materials classified all legislative actions into one of three categories based upon how these actions pertained to districts and schools from financial, procedural, and structural standpoints. Few bills were passed into law and this study found no authentic connection between state legislation and public education consolidation and reorganization. Recommendations for further study include analysis of state-level historical/political actions in DTS, examination of changes in local politics, changes in population, changes in industry, etc. in towns, municipalities, and counties in relation to school and district consolidation and reorganization, and analysis of student performance in DTS during the 1993-2012 time of consolidation and reorganization.

Jazz improvisation pedagogy: evaluating the effectiveness of a beginning jazz improvisation learning environment for middle school instrumentalists
Creators: name: Marino, Sara E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: In the last century, the practice of improvisation has distinguished jazz and set it apart from other musical genres and their performance practices (Azzara, 2002; Coker, 1978). Despite available resources, improvisation’s role in the National Core Arts Standards (NCCAS, 2014), and jazz’s significance in school music programs (Azzara, 2002; Sarath, 2002; Watson, 2010), inconsistencies in music improvisation education have persisted. To explain deficiencies in improvisation education, researchers have proposed a lack of teacher experience (Alexander, 2012; Azzara, 1999) and a need for greater pre-service teacher preparation (Watson, 2010; West, 2015). Educators and music students may therefore benefit from research-based best practices for teaching jazz improvisation. Existing research has studied the effectiveness of jazz improvisation instruction in general (e.g., Bash, 1983; Coy, 1989; Watson, 2010) and which personal characteristics predict positive outcomes (e.g., Ciorba, 2009; Madura, 1996; May, 2003). Future research should investigate which methods are most effective (Azzara, 2002; Bowman, 1988; May, 2003) and at which stages of musical development (Azzara, 2002; Bowman, 1988; Kratus, 1995). The purpose of this design-based, sequential explanatory mixed methods study, was to investigate if and how four critical features of a beginning jazz improvisation learning environment affected outcomes for middle school instrumentalists, including whether one of two instructional sequences better supported outcomes. The learning environment was designed to support achievement, self-assessment, self-efficacy, and motivation outcomes. Over 12 weeks, 5th-8th grade instrumentalists (n=43) at two sites studied jazz improvisation in 6 jazz combos, which were divided into Groups A and B. The design features of the learning environment were consistent between groups; the two conditions differed by harmonic form instructional sequences. Quantitative data for all outcomes was collected pre-, mid-, and post-instruction, and all instruction was video recorded. Primary findings showed: (a) a significant effect on all measured outcomes over time, not only for the 12-week duration of the instructional period but even in the first 6 weeks; (b) no significant differences between conditions for any outcomes; (c) a significant interaction between assessed task and achievement; (d) minimal significant relationships among outcomes; (e) evidence of how design features acted as sources of positive outcomes.

INCLUDED SPECIES. — Pronucellopsis pacaudi Merle, Ledon & Goret, n. gen., n. sp., Paris Basin, France; Paleocene (Thanetian).
DIAGNOSIS. — Subfusiform teleoconch with rounded whorls. Poorly marked cords. No IP. P6 weak, not atrophied. ADP, MP weak. Secondary cords (s1, s2, s3, s4) appearing late in ontogeny. Primary cords P3 to P6 appearing after third whorl. Varices formed by one or two abaxial lamellae on early whorls, occasionally reinforced by several lamellae on succeeding whorls. Number of varices: between 13 and 15. Weak, rounded shoulder sinus. Posterior sinus on sutural ramp deep. Internal denticles usually weak: ID missing. D1 stronger than D2. D6 present. Columellar lip smooth. Siphonal canal narrow. Microstructure of three aragonite layers.
COMMENTS
Pronucellopsis Merle, n. gen. is the sister taxon of Nucellopsis (clade E, Fig. 1). Both taxa share a weak or missing shoulder sinus. Pronucellopsis Merle, n. gen. is easily differentiated in having a more elongated shape and poorly developed internal denticles. It also displays poor development of the spiral cords which always remain weak and appear late in ontogeny. This feature is present in early muricids from the Paleocene (e.g., Poirieria or Flexopteron) and seems a plesiomorphic character.

description: The Individual Education Plan (IEP) process can be critical to a student’s scholastic success (Hock, & Boltax, 1995; Menlove, Hudson & Suter, 2001; Test et. al, 2004; Van Reusen & Bos, 1994). Attending an IEP meeting can present opportunities for participation in productive decision-making about educational programming or barriers that may impede the very same decision-making process (Harry, 1992). For the IEP meeting to be conducted with minimal conflict, it is critical that there be trust between parents and school districts personnel. Because the law mandates that parents are essential participants in the IEP process, healthy relationships between school personnel and parents are critical. In too many instances, the IEP experience means parents and districts are at odds (Feinburg, Beyer, and Moses, 2002; Mueller & Buckley, 2014; Yell and Drasgow, 2000). Conflict in the IEP process not only impacts the success of the student's program, but it can also be costly for school districts.Research into how parents experience the IEP process would help understand these relationships. I wanted to know more about how the IEP experience effects parent-school relations. I asked the following question:How do parents experience the IEP process?This study examines the experience of parents within the IEP process. It details how information, communication, team culture, and IEP meeting process have a significant impact on the way parents experience the IEP process and whether conflicts are encouraged to bloom.

Type species. Prionocheilus verneuli Rouault, 1847, by monotypy.
Discussion. We accept the priority of the generic name Prionocheilus over Pharostoma (see Dean 1971). Reed (1915, p. 46) erected a species based on a cranidium, Calymene (Pharostoma) liluensis, which might be regarded as a Prionocheilus species. Zhou et al. (1977) erected the genus Xuanenia, type species X. pustulosus Zhou, 1977, from central South China, based on an imperfectly preserved cranidium. The same genus and species were subsequently described by Tripp et al. (1989) for material from the Upper Ordovican Tangtou Formation, Jiangsu Province. The similarity of some of this material to ‘ Pharostoma ’ liluensis was noted already by Fortey & Cocks (1998), and is confirmed by the present study. Tripp et al. (1989) remarked that “ Xuanenia is extremely close to Prionocheilus Roualt, 1847 (sic)[and] differs only in the effaced lateral glabellar lobes and furrows and smaller pygidium with fewer segments.” There is little difference with regard to glabellar lobes and furrows between the cranidium figured by Tripp et al. (1989, fig. 17k) and the type specimen of ‘ Pharostoma ’ liluensis, which in turn is not significantly different from cranidia of Prionocheilus spp.; we prefer to use that generic name pending further clarification of Xuanenia. It is possible that P. liluensis has priority over subsequently named species in this group, but a comparative study of adjacent species is needed to clarify this.

description: The relatively small number of female students who pursue a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career is a significant educational and social problem. This dissertation addresses aspects of the STEM education pipeline problem through a quantitative study of the career aspirations of students in a high performing STEM-based career academy vocational high school. This study examines students’ career aspirations in the context of a three-year change initiative that substantially addresses the absence of curricula pertaining to the high school’s intended engineering-focused vocational program. This study draws upon social cognitive career theory (SCCT) as a theoretical framework, and calculates descriptive statistics and multifactorial analysis of covariance to analyze factors such as outcome expectations, self-efficacy, background contextual supports, and personal inputs to predict gender differences in aspirations for a career in engineering.The results of this quantitative research study were summarily categorized according to two primary research questions, which produced several key findings. First, the main effect of interests explained significant amounts of variance in goals, while grade-level and background contextual affordances explained significant amounts of variance in interests. The main effect of gender, when including grade-level and interests, explained significant amounts of variance in goals. However, this effect disappeared when outcome expectations and background contextual affordances were added to the model. Similarly, neither the main effect of semester nor any two-way interactions involving semester explained significant amounts of variance in either interests or goals.Rather than advancing the numerous studies that explore the decisions made and persistence towards STEM careers during and after postsecondary levels, this study addresses the gap in the extant literature by virtue of its focus on the high school context. It is the hope that these findings inform the research on this issue generally and provide information that can support other high schools with similar STEM programs to develop ways to reduce the gender gap in mathematics-intensive STEM fields like engineering.

Queerly belonging: LGBTQA student perceptions of campus climate, persistence, and success outcomes at Rutgers University- New Brunswick
Creators: name: Rago, Zaneta
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Research on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and asexual (LGBTQA) college student experience is an emerging area of inquiry. While the majority of empirical studies surrounding LGBTQA students have focused on their perceptions of peer-to-peer campus climate or academic achievement, little attention has been paid to employing a queer theoretical lens in order to diagnose institutions themselves as binary and restrictive structures (Renn, 2010). Additionally, LGBTQA college student research often focuses on disparate health and success outcomes, as opposed to highlighting where LGBTQA students may be outperforming their heterosexual and cisgender peers (Garvey et al., 2017; Rankin et al., 2017; Warikoo & Carter, 2009). This research project is an institutional campus climate case study that utilizes responses from the Diverse Learning Environments survey to examine campus climate factors (bias and discrimination, harassment, conversations across difference, satisfaction with the institutional commitment to diversity, academic validation, interpersonal validation) and student outcomes (habits of mind, pluralistic orientation, social agency, civic engagement, critical consciousness, academic self-concept, sense of belonging). The study builds on existing research surrounding climate, explores risks of LGBTQA attrition, investigates where LGBTQA students are succeeding, and constructs a critical theoretical and practical framework to build a connection between these three areas of inquiry.
Informal teacher leadership: how and why classroom teachers engage in leadership
Creators: name: Ross, Carolyn Leigh

description: Ongoing interest in teachers as a source of leadership has led scholars and practitioners to seek definitional clarity around the term “teacher leadership” and to better understand both the teacher leader and the work the teacher leader does. This qualitative study investigated the experiences of informal teacher leaders in an effort to contribute to the body of research concerned with how teacher leadership is enacted and cultivated. For this study, informal teacher leaders were defined as full-time classroom teachers who also take on leadership work without formal leadership titles to designate those roles. Research questions were as follows: 1) How do informal teacher leaders define and conceptualize teacher leadership? 2) Why do informal teacher leaders engage in leadership? 3) How do informal teacher leaders perceive the impact of their work? 4) What factors influence informal teacher leaders’ leadership work? Data collection consisted of semi-structured phone interviews with 10 participants who self-identified as teacher leaders. Findings from this study provide important insights into key components of informal teacher leadership. First, informal teacher leaders go above and beyond their job description to engage in professional learning, collaboration, and advocacy. These three dimensions combine to operationalize a definition of informal teacher leadership. Second, informal teacher leaders understand their work as being accessible to all and focused on collective capacity building. These beliefs stand in contrast to conceptualizations that focus primarily on the role and characteristics of an individual as a source of teacher leadership. Third, informal teacher leaders are motivated by their deep commitment to learning, community, and the profession, which compel them to action despite disincentives. Fourth, informal teacher leaders perceive their impact to be most clearly evidenced in the changed attitudes and behaviors of their colleagues. Fifth, informal teacher leaders report their work is most directly impacted by the following conditions: their status as classroom teachers, relationships with colleagues, principal or administrative influence, and time constraints

Adult description (in alcohol)
Body length 10.6 mm; forewing 10.4 mm; caudal filaments 27.0 mm. Eyes grayblack, contiguous dorsally. Ocelli black basally, white apically. Frons pale brown. Thorax brown; mesonotal transverse suture absent; medial depression of mesothoracic furcasternum convergent anteriorly; mesosternum with dark transverse band (Fig. 3). Forefemur pale brown with dark brown spot medially, dark apically; tibia and tarsus brown; ratio of foreleg segments (F:Ti:Ta1:Ta2:Ta3:Ta4:Ta5) 5.5:6.6:2.4:2.3:2.0:1.3:0.7; foreclaws dissimilar. Midleg light brown, femur with dark spot medially. Hindlegs missing. Wings with veins brown. Abdominal terga 2–7 yellowish brown with brown markings (Fig. 1); terga 8–10 brown with dark markings; sterna (Fig. 2) yellowish brown, slightly darker medially. Genitalia (Figs. 4 and 5) brown; base of forceps with small median flange; subgenital plate slightly excavated medially; penes fused basally, widely divergent apically and with titillators present. Caudal filaments brown.
Diagnosis and discussion
Because no other Epeorus from southeast Asia are known from the adult stage, we cannot know how E. aculeatus differs from the other species. Based on larval characteristics, Kluge (2004) indicated that E. aculeatus is closely related to the southern European E. torrentium Eaton, the type species of Epeorus. The penes of E. aculeatus are similar to those of E. torrentium and closely related species in that they are fused basally and divergent apically, but the penis lobes are much more slender. It also differs in having titillators and dissimilar foretarsal claws. We do not feel it is prudent at this time to speculate on the phylogenetic position of E. aculeatus.

Fig. 10.9
1915 Calymene (Pharostoma) liluensis; Reed, p. 4647, pl. 8, figs 6, 7, non pl. 8, fig. 9.
Material. Holotype. Cranidium GSI 11554. Reed (1915, p. 47) did not associate the pygidium he figured with confidence, and it is therefore not to be regarded as one of the type series. Since this pygidium is that of an Ovalocephalus sp. (above) the cranidium is the only type specimen available for holotype. Reed illustrated part and counterpart of this specimen. Upper Naugkangyi Beds (Katian). Lilu right bank of Nam Tu, path to Manping. northern Shan State.
Description. The external mould of the holotype is illustrated herein, and is reasonably well-preserved, although the tip of the fixed cheek is not present. Glabella occupies three-quarters of cranidial length (excluding occipital ring), and is as wide as long; occipital ring 25% total glabellar length. Glabella best preserved on right side showing convex flanks narrowing forwards to broadly arcuate front. Deep S1 with outer end at three-eighths cranidial length, curving inwards but fading well before occipital furrow, distally not quite becoming exsag. S2 follows in line with inner part of S1, and shallower, its anterior termination just behind a prominent anterior pit at the end of the axial furrow. L1 is twice as wide and twice as long as L2, and both somewhat inflated. Occipital ring well defined, narrows laterally, and carries a prominent circular median tubercle. Preglabellar field as wide (sag.) as border in front near midline, and widens towards corner of glabella. Palpebral lobe situated about 40% of the distance across the adjacent glabella, and of similar length (exsag.) to preglabellar field (sag.). Eye ridges strong and convex, directed back at about 60 degrees to sag. line.Anterior border furrow of even, moderate depth along its length. Border hardly convex and gently bowed forwards. Posterior border furrow as deep as axial furrows, and posterior section of fixed cheek presumably broadly triangular. Facial sutures diverge at a low angle in a convex curve in front of the palpebral lobes and at a high angle behind. Much of the dorsal surface is covered by fine tubercles, which appear coarser and sparser immediately in front of the preglabellar furrow and on the postocular fixed cheeks. A cranidium described by Kolobova (in Sokolov & Yolkin,1978, pl. 27, fig. 7) under the name Pharostoma inermis from the Upper Ordovician of Tien Shan is very like that of Prionocheilus liluensis, although it apparently has coarser tubercles on the dorsal surface.
