Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | field collection,survey of museum collection |
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
Collection method comments: Szyndlar & Rage (1999) report a Vipera from "San Quirze" without specific assignment and without giving any further data, except of stratigraphy (MN 7 + 8). Since the present collection contains vertebrates from the Late Miocene (matching MN 7 + 8 quite well) of Sant Quirze, this snake is added to it, although it may come from elsewhere in that area (e.g. PBDB coll. no. 38976). |
