Species Cardita patagonica Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Syntype: NHM-27955-6. The two numbers on the label suggest that at least a second syntype (but probably more) – now lost – was available to Sowerby. REMARKS. One of the most common carditids in the Patagonian Tertiary. The only specimen in the Sowerby Collection is a worn and broken left valve, while Sowerby’s figure shows a complete valve, a further indication that other syntypes existed in the collection. Our own collections from Santa Cruz confirm that this species belongs in Fasciculicardia Maxwell, 1969 [type species Venericardia subintermedia Suter, 1917], a subgenus of Glyptoactis Stewart, 1930 according to Beu & Maxwell (1990, p. 218).
