Monterey Formation (Miocene) shell fossils - Arroyo Seco Canyon - Central California Coast Range
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Found in Miocene period Monterey formation in Arroyo Seco canyon of Central California Coast Range. Trochita is an undescribed species known from this formation. Others are mostly Brachiopods (Discinisca lamellosa) which surprisingly is not extinct and still lives in some oceans, Scallops (Pectenidae), Venus Clams (Veneridae), Ark Shells (Anadara/Scapharca), and an unknown Moon Snail (Nacticidae). Most found in 2024, some in 2019. Added a few pics of the nice scenery in the canyon. Trochita specimen is noteworthy as being in good condition with surface detail and may get donated to the California Academy of Sciences collection.- 1 reply

Extinct Quahog. Geographically wide ranging in Upper Pliocene deposits from Zone 2 Yorktown in Virginia to Tamiami in South Florida. Campbell (1994) considered this a form of M. corrugata, separated by its thicker shell.

From the album: Eocene Bivalves of New Jersey
Derived from the Eocene Manasquan Formation from Monmouth County, New Jersey. The far right specimen is the largest in my collection and does have a slightly different form as well as a different preservation. This is one of the more common species from this unit and locality.-
