Species Dentalium majus Sowerby 1846


Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype: NHM-G26394 (Isla Huafo). REMARKS. The deposits of Isla Guafo (formerly Huafo) are generally interpreted as being Late Pliocene in age (Frassinetti 1997, 2000). Frassinetti (1997, 2000) revised the bivalves and the gastropods, but not the rest of the fauna. Fissidentalium majus is very similar to F. subgiganteum and may be closely related. Steiner & Kabat (2004) cited J. de C. Sowerby as author of this species, which is a mistake.
