Fossil Corbulidae of Florida ?

05 February 2020 0 570 Report

Hi,

Is there any record of Vokesula during the Plio-Pleistocene in Florida? Or is it Varicorbula? Both these taxa look very similar to me. The temporal range given for Vokesula in Tropical America by Anderson and Roopnarine, 2003 is Eocene to Oligocene.

Thank you

Best,

Ranjeev
