Species Fusus noachinus Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Two syntypes: NHM-G26400; NHM-G26401. REMARKS. This common species of Muricidae seems close to Chorus giganteum. However, its placement in Chorus is inadequate as the type specimens are lacking the characteristic labral tooth of this genus. It may belong in a new, as yet undescribed genus of muricids common in Oligocene and Miocene rocks from southern South America.
