The fossil record of Limopsis (Bivalvia: Limopsidae) in Antarctica and the southern high latitudes
Abstract: Limopsis is one of the most speciose and widespread bivalve genera in the Southern Ocean at the present day. However, the fossil record of the genus is poorly known from the southern high latitudes. Here, we review the fossil record in this region to help understand the evolutionary origin...
