ABSTRACT. Twonew species of patellogastropod limpets from the Miocene-Plioceneof Alaska are described-Putelloidu grudutus new species from the Unga Conglomerate Memberof the Bear Lake Formationat Cape Aliaksin, Alaska Peninsula, southwestern Alaska, and Niveotecturu myrukeenue new species from the Yakataga Formation in the northeastern ofGulf Alaska. A third species from the Narrow Cape Formationof Kodiak Islandmay be referrableto Putelloidu sookensis Clarkand Arnold, 1923, a species previously known only from VancouverIsland, Canada. These and other speciesof Patelloidinae dominated the northeastern Pacific patellogastropod fauna for over60 m.y. The presence in Alaska of these three warm-water species may be related to the middle Miocene warm-water event that is well documented elsewhere in the NorthPacific. However, regional cooling during the late Neogene drove this predominantly tropicalgroup from higher latitudes, leaving them poorly represented in the Holocene borealfauna.

INTRODUCTION Cap-shaped or limpet shells are common components of some excellent condition and are readily apparent in cross section Tertiary fossil assemblages. However, because of the simple (Fig. 1). shell morphology and the reliance on soft part characters for mostlimpet classification schemes, fossil limpets areoften tentatively assigned to a Holocene regional familyor and are not further studied. This practice has contributed to a fossil record for limpets that lacks a historical biogeographical perspective. Patellogastropod limpets, whichtypically occur in high- energy, rocky, nearshore environments, are usually represented in fossil assemblages by few individuals and often reflect the vagaries of post-mortem transport into more benign environ- ments, where they were preserved. However, if some of the original material of the patellogastropod shell is preserved, identification of the specimen need notbe uncertain. The use of shell microstructure in patellogastropodsystematics has already been demonstrated(MacClintock, 1963,1967; Lindberg, 1976, 1978,1979,1981a; Lindberg and McLean, 1981; Lindberg and Hickman, 1986), and its use in recognizing distributions of patellogastropod taxa inspace and timeis invaluable for under- standing the evolution of members of the order. For example, although manyof the specimens discussed herein are Miocene mG. I. Cross section through the shell of Niveotectura myrukeenue Lindberg and in age (24-5 Ma), their shell microstructure characters are in Marincovich, new species (holotype, USNM 414579).

their greatest diversity in the boreal Pacific Ocean; Patelloida species occur worldwide in tropical and warm-temperate seas. Members of the genusErginus differ from Niveotectura species by having markedly different anatomical organizations and by brooding their young (Lindberg, 1983). Like the Patelloidaprofunda groupdiscussed above, Niveotectura is primarily subtidal and restricted to calcareous substrata. However, these similarities appear to result from convergence rather than from commonancestry. One difference between these two groups is found the in relative thicknesses of the outer two shell layers. In the genus Niveotectura the outer complex prismatic layer is equal to or thicker than the inner concentric crossed-lamellar layer (Fig. 1); in members of the Patelloidaprofunda group the concentric crossed-lamellar layer is substantially thicker than thecomplex prismatic layer. Almost every known patellogastropodclade has subtidal taxa that have convergedon common shell and radular morphologies (McLean, 1966;LindbergandMcLean, 1981; Lindberg,1983). The genusNiveotectura probably represents this expansion into the subtidal habitat by early Neogene North Pacific Patelloida S.S. species. Erginus was either subsequently derivedfrom Niveotectura or represents an earlier or later second invasion of the North Pacific Ocean subtidal habitat by a Patelloida S.S. 182O 158.
