( Figure 4 View Figure 4 (f))

Remarks

Calyptraea aperta has been identified in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, North America, and South America from the Late Cretaceous through the Miocene ( Olsson 1944; Okan and Hosgor 2009), a temporal and geographic range that seems exceptional for a single species. The species is reported from the upper Campanian to lower Maastrichtian beds of the Tortuga Formation, in the Sechura Basin of northern Peru, and in upper lower Eocene Pariñas beds east of Negritos, in the Talara Basin of northern Peru ( Olsson 1944).
