Scale broken and the shape is not preserved. The costal margin 
that often shows important taxonomic distinction is broken off. Some 
veins seem to cross the humeral suture from the scale to the wing 
beyond the suture, but some strongly marked structures do not seem 
to fit the anatomy of the forewing scale and may be other structures 
separate from the wing that impinge upon it in the preserved scale, 
or else are marks in the rock. 
Humeral suture (fig. 3) seems to be reasonably well preserved. 
It is evenly curved and slants backward toward its junction with the 
inner margin. The inner portion of the suture is not as clear as the 
costal end, but the extension of the clear edges of the suture and 
the inner margin seem to indicate the true shape and position of the 
inner portion of the suture. The suture is not angulate in the region 
of Rs. The inner margin of the wing is somewhat concave where 
it joins the suture. 
Fig. 3. Drawing of base of holotype forewing of Cretatermes carpenteri , 
new genus, new species, showing visible veins emerging from the 
humeral suture. 
The veins that emerge from the suture at the costal margin ( fig. 3 ) 
are somewhat obscure and the wing in this region is either broken 
or folded. Sc is not clearly visible although it is probably present in 
well preserved wings. What seems to be the costal margin at the 
suture may possibly be R t with the actual costal margin either broken 
or folded under. There are indications of veins between the costal 
edge and Rs, and it is possible that Ri and R 2 + 3 are present. These
