Species Dentalium sulcosum Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype in two pieces: NHM-G26402 (Navidad). REMARKS. This species apparently occurs in the siltstones and not in the sandstones of the Navidad Formation. As Sowerby (1846, p. 263) pointed out, it has 14 rather strong longitudinal ribs and through this can easily be recognized. Steiner & Kabat (2004) stated, that this species is a synonym of Dentalium majus Sowerby, 1846 (see above) due to first reviser action of Ortmann (1902). However, these two species are clearly not the same. Steiner & Kabat (2004) cited J. de C. Sowerby as author of this species, which is a mistake.
