Nimravis Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 My previous post was on the Gastropods that I collected from shell pit piles that were dropped off on the Sanibel Causeway island, so I figured I need to post the Bivalves. I believe these cane from a pit with Pliocene - Pleistocene material from the Caloosahatchee Formation (1.8 - 2.5 MYO). I'm hoping that my ids are correct.

Wrangellian Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Good job, nice photos.. You might improve the spacing so it's clearer which pics the labels refer to? (I can tell, I just think it would be tidier if there was less space between the label an its picture than between the label and the pic above it - something for all members to consider as I have seen this sort of thing from others before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather be doing it from home, where everything works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I just saw this. Remarks below. Arca wagneriana – The top two are correct. The bottom perhaps Arca aquila but I would need to see more details Anadara lienosa - correct Noetia ponderosa – Noetia ponderosa macneili Conradostrea sculpturata - correct Hyotissa haitensis – Plicatula marginata Carolinapecten solarioides – I tend to go with Carolinapecten eboreus solaroides. Petuch classifies as a separate species while Campbell does not recognize the subspecies. I tend to follow Campbell but took the middle road with what Olsson and Harbinson calls it. The bottom pecten is not solaroides but Argopecten anteamplicostata Lucina pensylvania – Correct spelling is Lucina pensylvanica Armimiltha disciformis – Mercenaria campechiensis Eucrassatella speciosa - correct Carditamera arata – The top specimen appears to be C. arata. The lower three which are more triangular look to be Carditamera floridana. Chama heilprini - correct Arcinella cornuta - correct Macrocallista maculata - correct Macrocallista nimbosa - correct Chione elevata – Chioine erosa Anadara rustica – Anadara crassicosta Trachycardium egmontianum – You have a picture of Siphocypraea problematica but if it is supposed to be a Trachycardium it could be T. emmonsi which is spinier (is that a word?) than the extant T. egmontianum.

Mike thanks again for your help with these ids- I did the best I could with the book that I purchased while on Sanibel. I really do enjoy collecting them when I am in Florida, and when I get home, I am going to PM you some pics of bigger shells that I collected a number of years ago from a shell pit I believe some where close to Arcadia.
