Mytilus antiquorum J. Sowerby, 1821, and other Pliocene mussels (Mollusca, Bivalvia) from the southern North Sea Basin
Mytilus antiquorum J. Sowerby, 1821, is recorded from the Coralline Crag Formation of East Anglia (UK) and the Lillo Formation ( Oorderen, Kruisschans and Merksem members) of the Antwerp area (Belgium). The species is diagnosed on the basis of newly collected material and differentiated from modem E...
