Mass Occurrence of Hokkaidoconchid Gastropods in the Upper Jurassic Methane Seep Carbonate from Alexander Island, Antarctica
The Tithonian (Upper Jurassic) methane seep carbonate of the Gateway Pass Limestone Bed (Alexander Island, Antarctica) yields enormous numbers of the minute gastropod mollusc, Hokkaidoconcha hignalli sp. nov. together with an unidentified limpet gastropod and occasional protobranch and lucinid bival...
