Description
Meganodontia hoernea (Des Moulins, 1868)
Fig. 10E–G
Material examinedITALY – Emilia-Romagna • 1 spec.; Guzzano; MGGC 22320 (L = 50+ mm) • 2 specs; Castel di Casio; MGGC 22321 (Fig. 10E: L = 78, H = 79.5, W = 51.5 mm). – Tuscany • 2 specs; Le Colline; NRM Mo 205351, Mo 205352.
RemarksSee Kiel & Taviani (2017) for an extensive synonymy of this species. The few available Middle Miocene specimens (from Guzzano and Castel di Casio) are smaller (maximum length 77 mm) than those from the Upper Miocene, but are morphologically well within the range known of the Upper Miocene specimens (Moroni 1966; Kiel & Taviani 2017).
Stratigraphic and geographic rangeUpper Oligocene (upper Chattian) to Late Miocene, northern Italy.
