Posterior end rounded, posterior lobe inclined ventrally. Details of anterior margin and inner shell surface unknown.</p><p><i>Remarks</i>.—This radially ornamented mytilid was previously figured by Anderson (1970) and misidentified as an arcid, an identification followed by Hryniewicz et al. (2016). Closer examination of the material, supplemented by an additional specimen found during the field season in 2017 in Zachariassendalen, revealed that this species is actually a mytilid. Radial ornament superimposed on commarginal growth lines occurs among several mytilid genera. Radial ribs superimposed on strong commarginal growth lines and fading close to the ventral margin of the mid-shell section, and a median keel visible on the posterior lobe suggest that this species possibly belongs to <i>Musculus</i> Röding, 1798, but the lack of well-preserved specimens makes our assignment tentative. From the ribbed mytilids described from the Paleocene strata of Nuusquaq, northwest Greenland Petersen and Vedelsby 2000), <i>Brachidontes</i> sp. 1 and <i>Brachidontes</i> sp. 2 have coarser radial ornament, whereas <i>Brachidontes</i> sp. 3 has somewhat similar ornament and a medial keel to those of the current species. Unfortunately, the fragmentary nature of our material does not allow for a more thorough comparison.</p> |
