Abstract
Having necessary data about the fossil Epithyris exanica, particularly the breadth of the pedicle valve, then we may proceed using statistical- mathematical methods for the length estimation of the pedicle valve. Thus, for this purpose a model is propounded, which will elucidate the relationship between the width and the length of the pedicle valve. Then, we test the model, as well as determining the probability of correctness of the answers. Subsequently, we determine the percentage reliability of the model and the dependence of the length to breadth of the pedicle valve.
      The model is used for measuring the length of Epithynis exanica with pedicle valve width about 19.5 (mm) and the result will be about 21.86 (mm). This model can be used for that kind of Epithyris exanica which have their width of pedicle valve known.
