THE OCCURRENCE OF ANOPAEA (BIVALVIA : INOCERAMIDAE) IN THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA

The genus Anopaea represents a small but distinctive group of inoceramid bivalves that apparently remained functionally endobyssate. The somewhat unusual morphology (for an inoceramid) probably results from structural modifications tofacilitate sediment penetration at a high angle and anchorage by a...
