Pleistocene Shells - Rincon Point, Southern California
ezeemonee posted a topic in Member Collections
Many earlier Pleistocene period shells (~1M yrs ago) from a site inland from Rincon Point in Southern California. Got some great ID suggestions from various people on these and was informed that the shattered Trochita (Limpet like slipper shell) is probably one of two undescribed extinct species known from that deposit. Useful ID references for the area: Phill Liff Gieff, Frank Pesca Jr, Thomas Everest, and others https://inyo4.coffeecup.com/santabarbara/santabarbara.html Cyclocardia / Coanicardita - Grant & Gale (1931) Antiplanes - Raymond, 1904 Cantharus fortis (P. P. Carpenter, 1866), an extinct species

From the album: The Mollusca of the Banjaard
A nice specimen of an undescribed Nassarius species. This Nassarius species isn't described yet, but recognized as separate from other species. It looks a lot like the modern Nassarius goreensis from the southeastern Atlantic Ocean (Angola), but still has some differences, hence why I (and many paleontologists) put the 'aff.'. When the new species is given a name I will update this one. For now you should label it as either Nassarius sp or N. aff. goreensis. Status: extinct (new species) Fossil occurrence: uncommon WoRMS synonym (for Nassarius goreensis): Tritia goreensis (Maltzan, 1884)© 2019 Max DEREME
