Ventricolaria harrisiana

Bivalvia - Cardiida - Veneridae

Taxonomy
Antigona harrisiana was named by Olsson (1922) [DISTRIBUTION: Miocene; Peru, Mexico.]. It is not a trace fossil. Its type locality is Port Limon, which is in a Pliocene marine siliciclastic in Costa Rica.

It was recombined as Antigona (Circomphalus) harrisiana by Palmer (1927); it was recombined as Ventricolaria harrisiana by Perrilliat (1992).

Synonyms
  • Antigona palmerae was named by Hodson (1927). It is a 3D body fossil.

    It was recombined as Antigona (Ventricolaria) palmerae by Jung (1965); it was synonymized subjectively with Ventricolaria harrisiana by Woodring (1982).
