Paleontology
The badenian marine fauna from Neagonea Valley (Mehedinfi County) Description. Triangular-rounded shell with specific ears. The dorsal face shows ribs with sharp rounded ridges around the crochet. Then, these are divided into 3 ridges which widen towards the lower edge, flattened, with right angled edges. The inter-rib rear is covered by a secondary ornamentation represented by fine blades. Remarks. The samples figured by Nicorici (1977) in pl. XXVII come from Iloväf. Marinescu et al. (1962) reported this species at Parlagé. Pectunculus (Glycymeris) pilosus Linné (PI. Ill, Figs. 5—6) 1968 Pectunculus (Glycymeris)pilosus Hinculov, pl. IV, fig.3. 1972 Pectunculus (Glycymeris) pilosus Macarovici, Turculef, p. 184, pl. LVII, fig. 4. Description. Valves thick, convex, with rounded contours, almost circular. Umbonal part high, opistogire, slightly inclined towards the cardinal edge. The outer surface shows radial flattened ribs, starting at umbonal part, trace the growth and rare concentric ribs, irregularly. Teething heterodont with 4-5 teeth disposed on each side of the cardinal plateau, the median being toothless. Remarks. The illustrated specimen differs of Pectunculus (Axinaea) deshaesi (Mayer) by the smaller number of teeth, and by Glycymeris cor, because it has some asymmetry of the shell. Familly Tellinidae Genus Teliina Linné 1758 Teliina donacina Linné, 1758 (Pl. IV, Figs. 1—2) 1955 Teliina donacina, Moisescu, p. 79, ph II, fig. 3 1972 Tellina donacina, Macarovici, Turculep p. 182, pl. LVI, fig. 15 Description. Valves are oval-elongated, asymmetrical, thin and slightly convex. The umbonal part is opistogire, slightly elevated above the small cardinal shelf. The length is 13-20 mm. Familly Corbulidae Genus Corbula Bruguire, 1797 Corbula carinata Dujardin, 1837 (Pl. IV, Figs. 3-4) 1955 Corbula (Corbula) carinata, Moisescu, p. 112—113, pl. 6, 8 Description. Valves asymmetric inequilaterally with elongated oval contour. The right valve is bigger than the left one. The backside edge joins with the bottom one an acute angle with rounded top. On the dorsal side, the surface is lined with coarse concentric ribs. Familly Cardiidae Genus Laevicardium, Swainson, 1840 Laevicardium herculeus Dollfus, Cotter et Gomez, 1904 (Pl. IV, Figs. 5—6) 1955 Laevicardium (Discors) herculeus, Moisescu, p. 85—86, pl. Ill, fig. 1, 2 Description. It has a thick, asymmetric large shell, with oval-triangular shape, developed in height. The convexity decreases to edges. The external surface has multiple radial ribs (over 20), contoured toward the middle of the valve. From spot to spot presents concentric ribs. A previous muscular impression is visible. The rear one is less visible. Remarks. This species is widespread in Miocene. 147
