Marquet R., 2006, The Neogene Bivalvia (Heterodonta and Anomalodesmata)
and Scaphopoda from Kallo and Doel (Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium)
142 textpages, 7 textfigures, 6 tables, 62 plates
Summary: This work continues the study of the Pliocene molluscan fauna
found during the dock construction works at Kallo and Doel, both
municipality Beveren, province of Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium. Some new
stratigraphic observations in the Deurganckdok works at Doel are
presented and a nearby section at Melsele is described. All species of
Bivalvia (Heterodonta and Anomalodesmata) and Scaphopoda discovered in
these sections are described; their systematics, nomenclature,
palaeo-ecology and occurrence are discussed. A number of species is
recorded here for the first time in the Pliocene of Belgium:
Semiericyna (S.) nitida (Turton, 1822), Laseina cf. farnesiniana
(Cerulli-Irelli, 1908), Isocrassina bipartita (J. Sowerby, 1823),
Goodallia parvula (Wood, 1853), Plagiocardium scabrum (Philippi, 1844),
Sphenia binghami Turton, 1822), Xylophaga sp., Thracia (T.) convexa (W.
Wood, 1815), Cuspidaria (C.) cuspidata (Olivi, 1792), Cuspidaria (C.)
cf. obesa (Lovén, 1846), Cardiomya costellata (Deshayes, 1833)
and Pseudantalis sp. Following new taxa are new to science: Isocrassina
fusca ariejansseni subsp. nov., Nemocardium (Microcardium) doelense
Marquet & Van Nieulande sp. nov., Spisula (S.) albertantonorum sp.
nov., Venus (Ventricoloidea) multilamella ringelei subsp. nov.
(Miocene), Lyonsia (L.) mermuysi sp. nov., Thracia (T.) inflata
microgranosa subsp. nov. (Miocene). Other taxa got a new interpretation
or status: Spisula (S.) obtruncata (Wood, 1857), Arcopagia
(Arcopagiopsis) balaustina tenuilamellosa (Nyst & Westendorp,
1839), Panopea glycimeris (von Born, 1778), Turneria angulata (Wood,
1840), Cochlodesma (Bontaea) complanata Wood, 1857 and Thracia (T.) cf.
villosiuscula (Macgillivray, 1827). A number of conclusions is drawn
from this and the preceding publications on the fauna of the study
area.
