Membranipora Bryzoan SITE LOCATION: James City Formation, James City Formation, USA TIME PERIOD: Pleistocene age (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) Data: Membranipora is a genus of bryozoans in the family Membraniporidae. A typical example is the widely distributed species Membranipora membranacea that commonly encrusts seaweeds, particularly fronds of the kelps Laminaria digitata, L. hyperborea, and Saccorhiza polyschides. Colonies of M. membranacea show different forms of polyphenism as spines, tower zooids, chimneys and stolons.

Plicatula marginata Bivalve SITE LOCATION: James City Formation, Beaufort Co., North Carolina, USA TIME PERIOD: Pleistocene age (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) Data: The Plicatulidae are a family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks, known commonly as kitten's paws or kittenpaws.[1] These bivalves are related to oysters and scallops. The family is monotypic, having a single genus, with seven species. Plicatulidae are small, with weakly convex shells which are irregularly oval or even almost triangular. Typically, they attach themselves to a hard surface by the right valve. The ligament is internal and triangular. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Bivalvia Order: Ostreoida Family: Plicatulidae Genus: Plicatula Species: †marginata-

Cyclocardia granulata Bivalve SITE LOCATION: James City Formation, Beaufort Co., North Carolina, USA TIME PERIOD: Pleistocene age (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) Data: Cyclocardia is a genus of molluscs in the family Carditidae. The related genus Vimentum is sometimes included here. Carditidae is a family of marine bivalve clams of the order Carditoida, which was long included in the Veneroida. They are the type taxon of the superfamily Carditoidea. Delimitation of this family versus the closely related Condylocardiidae is somewhat problematic.

Conus Gastropod SITE LOCATION: James City Formation, North Carolina, USA TIME PERIOD: Miocene age (5.3-23 Million Years Ago) Data: Conus is a genus of predatory sea snails, or cone snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conidae. Prior to 2009, cone snail species had all traditionally been grouped into the single genus Conus. However, Conus is now more precisely defined, and there are several other accepted genera of cone snails. For a list of the currently accepted genera, see Conidae. For a list of the currently accepted species within the genus Conus, based on the information in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) list, see: list of Conus species. Species in the genus Conus sensu stricto can be found in the tropical and subtropical seas of the world, at depths ranging from the sublittoral to 1,000 m. They are very variable in some of their characters, such as the tuberculation of the spire and body whorl, striae, colors and the pattern of coloring. Many fossil species have been described; they are extensively distributed, and first appear in Cretaceous strata. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Family: Conidae Genus: Conus-

Niveria lindae is recognized by FLMNH in the Nashua Formation in North Florida. Petuch named it from shells that are from Lee Creek. A distinctive feature of Triviidae is the dorsal furrow. Petuch describes that of N. lindae as shallow with the ribs continuing across the furrow while the ribs in N. floridana (LINK) are separated completely by a deep furrow. Also N. lindae has approximately 30 ribs to around 20 in N. floridana. Reference Links FLMNH db Image Gallery ACTA Conchyliorum

Trigonostoma elizabethae was named by Olsson & Petit (1964). Axel Olsson was an oil geologist who published in paleontology while Richard "Dick" Petit who recently passed away was a natural history bookseller who became the foremost authority on the family Cancellariidae. In describing T. elizabethae they noted that the shell has a nodose shoulder with two very nodose primary cords on the body whorl in addition to less nodose secondary cords. Reference Olsson, A.A., and R.E. Petit. 1964. Some Neogene Mollusca from Florida and the Carolinas, Bulletins of American Paleontology 47(217): pages 509-574, plates 77-83
