Hi Coco Yes it is reconstructed from actual chiton sections which are very common at that particular San Diego location. The locality was composed of mostly tide pool species and I collected plates from the site on a couple of occasions. This specimen however, was composed by the late Frank Peska Jr. sometime in the 70s/80s and is 75 mm in length.

MikeR Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have mostly bivalves from the Eastern Pacific Pliocene (especially showy are large Pectens) however I do have some gastropods which are displayed in this drawer. Included are Upper Pliocene (Piacenzian) from the San Diego, Purisima, and Fernando Formations and Lower Pliocene (Zanclean) of the Latrania Formation. Although not very pretty due to the preservation, gastropods from the Latrania are interesting in their own right as many mollusks and corals in these deposits show a relationship to Caribbean faunas during a time in which the Central American Isthmus was at least partially open. 5 "A problem solved is a problem caused"--Karl Pilkington "I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." -- Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Eastern Pacific Miocene gastropods are all from California and include fossils from the Topanga Canyon and Olcese Formations (both Burdigalian) and the Jewett Formation (Aquitanian). 5 "A problem solved is a problem caused"--Karl Pilkington "I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit." -- Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
