Abstract
Several shells of megalodontids have been extracted from densely packed coquinas coming from the Upper Triassic of northern Calabria. Such a mode of preservation, which is unusual for these bivalves, has made it possible to detect the morphological characters regarding both the shell and inner mould. Some aspects of functional morphology suggest Triadomegalodon was a semi-infaunal bivalve, unable to burrow actively. -from AuthorsFile in questo prodotto:
