TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA "^ ' 



Pecten (Amusium) papyraceus Gabb. 



This species, described from the Tertiary of St. Domingo, appears to 

 be identical with the recent species of the Gulf of Mexico and the Antilles. 

 I formerly referred it to P. Mortoni, to which it is closely related, but it is 

 generally less orbicular and smaller than the typical P. Mortoni, and in default 

 of a full and completely intergrading series it is probably better to retain 

 Gabb's name.

Basal or Midwayan Eocene of Dale's Branch, Matthews Landing, and 

 Naheola, Alabama, and of Marshall's Well, Little Rock, Arkansas. 



This interesting little species reaches less than five millimetres in extreme 

 height, has the right valve concentrically striated or nearly smooth, the left 

 with sparse, partly obsolete radial threads crossed by elevated, concentric, 

 distant lines, with a tendency to nodulation at the intersections. Internally 

 there are about eight or ten well-developed lirae and the auricular crura. The 

 byssal ear has sparse radii and a distinct byssal notch.
