Dinorthis anticostiensis

Rhynchonellata - Orthida - Plaesiomyidae

Taxonomy
Orthis anticostiensis was named by Shaler (1865) [Four syntypes, MCZ147679–147682, are in Shal- er’s original collection from “Ellis Bay, west end of An- ticosti” (Shaler 1865, p. 66, and original label). Specimen MCZ147679, a complete shell with fine surface ornament preserved, is selected herein as the lectotype (Pl. 4, figs. 1–6). Paralectotype MCZ147680 is also well preserved (Pl. 4, figs. 7–13), but the other two were originally cut.]. Its type specimen is MCZ 147679-147682, a shell, and it is a 3D body fossil.

It was corrected as Orthis porcata by Billings (1862); it was recombined as Dinorthis anticostiensis by Twenhofel (1928); it was recombined as Plaesiomys anticostiensis by Schuchert and Cooper (1932), Bolton (1972), Jin and Zhan (2008) and Wright and Stigall (2013).
