Arca prisca Goldfuss 1841

Abstract

Arca prisca Goldfuss, 1841 Original source Goldfuss (1833–1841): 283, pl. 160 fig. 10. Type stratum and age “Uebergangskalk”; Visean, lower Carboniferous (Paul 1941: 124). Type locality “ Grafschaft Glatz ” [Powiat Kłodzki]; Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. Type material Shell and steinkern of a LV (BIOB-PAL-GF1026). Stored at the Goldfuss-Museum of the University Bonn. Remarks Whidborne (1897: 113, pl. 12 fig. 6) attributed A. prisca to the genus Parallelodon. However, the specimens which Whidborne based this decision on were considered misidentified by Friedel & Amler (2024), who introduced a new species, Parallelodon pauli. Paul (1941) placed the species in Grammatodon, and Kakhadze (1942: 232–233) stated the species “undoubtedly belongs to the genus Parallelodon ” (translated from Georgian).
