Request for Paper - Lee Creek Mine Miocene and Pliocene Scallops

[mbeyer747]

Does anyone have a copy/working link to T.G. Gibson's Miocene and Pliocene Pectinidae from the Lee Creek Mine and Adjacent areas? It's paper from C.E Ray's 1987 Geology and Paleontology of the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina.

If so, would you so kindly share with me?

According to Lyle Campbell's Pliocene Molluscs from the Yorktown and Chowan River Formations in Virginia, there's some good info and lots of pics of Chesapecten septenarius.

Thanks!

these two?

The larger one is a bit slow

https://repository.si.edu/handle/10088/1983

this one might be useful,as well:

http://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/0861/report.pdf

and this:

http://www.bioone.org/doi/pdf/10.2992/007.080.0105

and this:

I read French ,so i almost automatically put in this one as well:

Bongrain knows her pectinids

This one I didn't know about,from before sclerochronology became a big thing:

I'll throw this one in for good measure:

That's what I was looking for - thank you SO much!

Appreciate the extra links too - can't read french but I can still enjoy the pictures!

Thanks again!

You don't think i overdid it?

[mbeyer747]

Haha - the more the merrier!!!!

I will definitely check them out after I get through the Gibson paper.

Thanks again!

I wonder why though in Gibsons' 1987 Lee Creek paper Chesapecten septenarius is classified as a subspecies of Chesapecten jeffersonius - C. jeffersonius septenarius.

Ward and Blackwelder declared C. septenarius a unique species in their Chesapecten paper published >10 years before Gibson's paper. Gibson was definitely aware of the Ward and Blackwelder paper; he referenced it quite a bit.

Weird.

[Plax]

in this situation it is often a difference of opinion. Not neglect or ignorance regarding the citation. I don't know for sure; just saying......

Thanks!!

Weird.

It seems that Gibson disagreed.  He wrote. "Because of the general similarity of morphology between the two subspecies, except for characteristics of the plicae, and because even in the plicae there is transition between the two groups in the upper part of zone 1 of Mansfield, the two groups are considered chronologic subspecies rather than separate species."  (pg 72, Miocene and Pliocene Pectinidae (Bivalvia) from the Lee Creek Mine and Adjacent Areas).  I would agree with him on this point, because in my limited experience (an island on the Florida-Georgia coast), there are a lot of transitional specimens.  

 

It's interesting to me that you were after this paper, as it is the single most important research study with regards to helping me ID the pectens that I find on Amelia Island.

Those were some valuable links!  You are welcome to overdo it anytime!  Srsly, thank you.  These fill some pieces of the puzzle.
