Description

Genartina texana Dante & Frizzell, 1965

Fig. 14F–I

Genartina texana Dante & Frizzell in Frizzell & Dante, 1965: 696, pl. 86 figs 20–22.

Remarks

Genartina texana is rather rare and found only from Texas in our collection (Weches Formation, till Cook Mountain Formation, but mainly from the “Stone City beds”). Frizzell & Dante (1965) reported its occurrence also in the Lisbon Formation of Alabama. See also above, under G. bambergi, for the distinction of the two species.

Stratigraphic and geographic distribution

Lutetian: Weches Formation and “Stone City beds”, Texas. Bartonian: Wheelock Member, Texas; “upper” Lisbon Formation, Alabama.
