Taxonomy
Axinaea veatchii was named by Gabb (1864). It is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is "Chico beds" - Tuscan Springs, Tehama, which is in a Coniacian coastal siliciclastic in California.
It was recombined as Pectunculus veatchi by Stanton (1896); it was recombined as Glycimeris veatchi by Waring (1917); it was recombined as Glycymeris veatchii by Stewart (1930) and Hoots (1931); it was recombined as Glycymerita veatchii by Squires (2010) and Haggart and Graham (2018).
