![]() ![]() This includes possibly the first European Pliocene record for the genus Tectus. Three patellogastropod and 28 vetigastropod species are recorded, of which eleven are new: Emarginula brebioni nov. In this paper we review the Patellogastropoda and Vetigastropoda of the Zanclean lower Pliocene assemblage of Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire-Atlantique department, France, which we consider the ‘type’ locality for Assemblage III of Van Dingenen et al. Based on the data presented here, we suggest that average Sea Surface Temperatures off the NW French coast in the Zanclean early Pliocene may have been warmer than they are at these latitudes today, possibly similar to those found today off the southern Portuguese coasts. Macromphalina bouryi (de Morgan, 1915) is a secondary homonym of Macromphalina bouryi (Dautzenberg, 1912) and renamed Macromphalina massicardi nom. This includes the first European Neogene record for the genus Tympanotonos. Ninety-one species are recorded, of which 17 are new: Bittium lozoueti nov. In this paper we review the Caenogastropoda of the Zanclean lower Pliocene assemblage of Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire-Atlantique department, which we consider the ‘type’ locality for Assemblage III of Van Dingenen et al. The data presented here concurs with that discussed in previous parts of this monograph, suggesting that average Sea Surface Temperatures off the NW French coast in the Zanclean lower Pliocene may have been warmer than they are at these latitudes today, possibly similar to those found today off the southern Portuguese coasts. ![]() Fusus (Aptyxis) rostratus ligerianus Peyrot, 1938 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Aptyxis omphale (Millet, 1864). Aplus aequicostatus (Bellardi, 1877) is considered a junior subjective synonym of Aplus scaber (Millet, 1865). sp., Bartschia (Agassitula) harasewychi nov. Twenty-six species are recorded, of which three are new: Euthria palumbina nov. In this paper we review the Neogastropoda (in part) of the Zanclean lower Pliocene assemblage of Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire-Atlantique department, France, which we consider the ‘type’ locality for Assemblage III of Van Dingenen et al. Calliostoma tauromiliare (Sacco, 1896) is considered a junior synonym of Calliostoma baccatum (Millet, 1865).īased on the data presented here, we suggest that the average Sea Surface Temperatures off the NW French coast in the Zanclean lower Pliocene may have been warmer than they are at these latitudes today, possibly similar to those found today off the southern Portuguese coasts. All: Le Landreau, Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire-Atlantique department, France, Zanclean, lower Pliocene. Specimen illustrated by Brébion (1964, pl. ![]()
