| Abstract | "In the Miocene and Pliocene fossil shell beds of the eastern United States, the single most spectacular molluscan species radiation is seen in the ecphora shells (the Tribe Ecphorini). These bizarrely shaped gastropods represent a separate branch of the Subfamily Ocenebridae, Family Muricidae. These muricid gastropods are considered some of the most beautiful and interesting groups of fossil mollusks found along the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Floridian Peninsula and are greatly sought after by fossil collectors.This book lists the 67 known species and subspecies that are recognized as valid, arranged by the eight genera and five subgenera that encompass these taxa"-- Provided by publisher. |
