THE OCCURRENCE OF THE UPPER JURASSIC BIVALVE MALAYOMAORICA MALAYOMAORICA (KRUMBECK) ON THE ORVILLE COAST, ANTARCTICA

Malayomaorica malayomaorica is an important Upper Jurassic bivalve in the southern hemisphere: widely distributed in strata of Early - Middle Kimmeridgian age, it is a zone fossil of considerable potential for regional biostratigraphic correlations. Its common occurrence in the Latady Formation of t...
