Arca oreliana de Verneuil

Abstract

Arca oreliana de Verneuil in Murchison et al., 1845 Original source Murchison et al. (1845): 314, pl. 20 fig. 3; originally as “ Oreliana ”. Type stratum and age “dans les calcaires jaunes dévoniens”; in the yellow Devonian limestones; presumably upper Famennian, uppermost Devonian (according to Lebedev et al. 2018). Type locality “de Novazilskaya, à trois verstes au sud d’Orel” [from Novazilskaya, three versts [~ 3 km] south of Oryol]; locality not found, today probably within the city limits of Oryol (Oryol oblast), Russia. Type material Not traced. Remarks Listed (as Arca) also by Venyukov (1886: 161, pl. 8 figs 6–7), Nalivkin (1947: 136, pl. 34 fig. 1; there authorship attributed to Venyukov 1886) and Lebedev et al. (2018: 63). Based on the morphology Amler & Friedel (2025) suggested a probable affiliation with Parallelodon.
