Hi, @george-phillips – is this specimen formally reposited or in your personal collection?
I found a differing taxonomy on the PBDB: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=142486
Hi, Jennifer. I don’t really have a personal collection. I posted this and the others from the MMNS collection–before it occurred to me that this page was primarily for specimens from personal collections. When I realized this, I thought, my posts may be helpful anyway to those in need of assistance with identifications. As for the taxonomy, just because something is outdated doesn’t make it necessarily incorrect. The old subclass designation, more familiar to us older folks, was close enough for me. 🙂 However, if someone wishes to change it, by all means!
If you prefer I remove the MMNS material, I will do that.
No, it is fine to keep museum specimens up but we will need to add some language to their occurrence data indicating they have a permanent home. I can add this to my to-do list tomorrow
