Striarca lactea? Styrian Basiin of Austria - Miocene

[FranzBernhard]

Hello,

again I am asking for your kind help.

I have here a small arc clam (ca. 8 mm wide) which I identified as Striarca lactea. It is not described from the area (Miocene - Badenium of the Styrian basin, Austria, Florianer Schichten), but by Hoernes (1870) from the Vienna basin of the same age. Are there any other possibilities? Its from an intertidal or shallow subtidal environment and associated with "Tellina", Cordiopsis isclandicoides?, Acanthocardia sp., Anadara sp., "Tritia" and small (3-4cm), irregular sea urchins of unknown genus.

Thank you very much your help!
