•
•Meco et al (2002) are critical of the age assignment and taxonomic identifications of Lecointre et al, and suggest that these collections may be contaminated by archeological specimens: "possible errors caused by the mingling of fossils with archaeological remains consumer at the site, or perhaps by intricate synonyms that would be difficult to follow up, or because of incorrect taxonomical determinations, or inaccurate localities in museum collections."
