Paradrillia sp. 1

( Figure 5A )

Material examined

ECS. One specimen, CN 0034-2 , Changjiang River estuary, muddy sand, 40 m, 11 September 1985 .

Measurements

See Table 1.

Distribution

Changjiang River estuary.

Remarks

The only specimen resembles Paradrillia dainichensis (Yokoyama, 1923) in shell profile, but differs in having a nodular subsutural cord, and the latter (Powell’s interpretation of a decayed fossil of P. dainichensis ) has practically no cord at all. Because of its worn shell, the specimen cannot be identified to species level.
