Trinacria simulacrum Grove & Sturt (1887)

Comment: This specimen represents the holotype of Trinacria simulacrum. Note that this species was originally described as Trinacria, but displays no features of this genus and probably belongs elsewhere.

Locality: Oamaru, New Zealand, The Natural History Museum slide BM 46637 (from the original Grove & Sturt study), material presumably from Cormack's Siding (Eocene-Oligocene Transition).

Photographed using: Zeiss Axioplan, Plan-NEOFLUAR 40×/0.75 + Zeiss AxioCam MRc. Single image.
