Hello, I would like to ask if someone is able and would like to look up the derivation/meaning of the name of the rudist genus "Vaccinites". It was introduced by Fischer (1887) in this work: It could mean something like "cow horn" (Vacca = cow). But I am not sure and can not find something really definitive with google. Thank you very much for your help! Franz Bernhard
