Glycymeris Longior (Sowerby, 1832) Clam at the Southern Edge of Its Distribution (Argentine Sea) Lucas H
Gimenez et al. Helgol Mar Res (2020) 74:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s10152-020-0534-x Helgoland Marine Research ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Age and growth of Glycymeris longior (Sowerby, 1832) clam at the southern edge of its distribution (Argentine Sea) Lucas H. Gimenez1,2†, María del Socorro Doldan1,3,4*† , Paula C. Zaidman1,3,4 and Enrique M. Morsan1,3 Abstract Even though Glycymeris longior is a clam widely distributed in the SW Atlantic Ocean, little is known about its biology and life history. The present study assessed the periodicity of the internal growth increments of G. longior using thin shell sections. Each internal growth increment was composed of two alternating bands: a translucent band (light- coloured when viewed with transmitted light) and an opaque band (dark-coloured). Annual formation for each pair of bands was demonstrated. The formation of the annual growth increments was synchronous among individuals. Growth was determined from live clams collected at El Sótano, Argentine Sea (age range 29 to 69 years). Accord- ing to the growth model, G. longior grows fast during the frst 5 years of life and then growth= becomes slower in later years; individuals reached 50% and 90% of maximum size at 5 and 13 years of age, respectively. High variability was found in shell height for the frst 10 years: diferences up to 5–7 mm among individuals were registered for the frst 2 years of age, and up to 11 mm between the ages of 3 and 9 years. The growth performance index phi-prime (φ′) and the index of growth performance (P) of G. -

Paleontology and Sedimentology of Middle Eocene Rocks in Lago Argentino Area, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina
AMEGHINIANA (Rev. Asoc. Paleontol. Argent.) - 46 (1): 27-47. Buenos Aires, 30-04-2009 ISSN 0002-7014 Paleontology and sedimentology of Middle Eocene rocks in Lago Argentino area, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina Silvio CASADÍO1,2, Miguel GRIFFIN1,2, Sergio MARENSSI3,2, Laura NET4, Ana PARRAS1,2, Martín RODRÍGUEZ RAISING5,2 and Sergio SANTILLANA3 Abstract. Sedimentological and paleontological study of the Man Aike Formation at the Estancia 25 de Mayo, SW of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, represents the evolution of an incised valley from fluvial to marine environment during the late middle Eocene. At the base of the unit there is an unconformity that corresponds to fluvial channels which cut down into the underlying Maastrichtian sandstones of the Calafate Formation. The fauna of invertebrates (mostly molluscs) illustrated herein was collected from shell beds interpreted as tidal ravinement surfaces. The fauna includes terebratulid brachiopods, bivalves of the families Malletiidae, Mytilidae, Pinnidae, Ostreidae, Pectinidae, Carditidae, Crassatellidae, Lahillidae, Mactridae, Veneridae, and Hiatellidae, and gastropods of the families Trochidae and Calyptraeidae, and a member of Archaeogastropoda of uncertain affinities. The similarities of this fauna with that recorded in the Upper Member of the Río Turbio Formation, together with 87Sr/86Sr ages, sug- gest a late Middle Eocene age for the Man Aike Formation.

Donacidae - Bivalvia)
Bolm. Zool., Univ. S. P aub 3:121-142, 1978 FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF DON AX HANLEY ANUS PHILIPPI 1847 (DONACIDAE - BIVALVIA) Walter Narchi Department o f Zoology University o f São Paulo, Brazil ABSTRACT Donax hanleyanus Philippi 1847 occurs throughout the southern half o f the Brazilian littoral. The main organ systems were studied in the living animal, particular attention being paid to the cilia ry feeding and cleasing mechanisms in the mantle cavity. The anatomy, functioning of the stomach and the ciliary sorting mechanisms are described. The stomach unlike that of almost all species of Donax and like the majority of the Tellinacea belongs to type V, as defined by Purchon, and could be regarded as advanced for the Donacidae. A general comparison has been made between the known species of Donax and some features of Iphigenia brasiliensis Lamarck 1818, also a donacid. INTRODUCTION Very little is known of donacid bivalves from the Brazilian littoral. Except for the publications of Narchi (1972; 1974) on Iphigenia brasiliensis and some ecological and adaptative features on Donax hanleyanus, all references to them are brief descrip tions of the shell and cheklists drawn up from systematic surveys. Beach clams of the genus Donax inhabit intertidal sandy shores in most parts of the world. Donax hanleyanus Philippi 1847 is one of four species occuring through out the Brazilian littoral. Its known range includes Espirito Santo State and the sou thern Atlantic shoreline down to Uruguay (Rios, 1975). According to Penchaszadeh & Olivier (1975) the species occur in the littoral of Argentina. 122 Walter Narchi The species is fairly common in São Paulo, Parana and Santa Catarina States whe re it is used as food by the coastal population (Goffeijé, 1950), and is known as “na- nini” It is known by the name “beguara” (Ihering, 1897) in the Iguape region, but not in S. -

La ricerca e la raccolta del materiale è stata ef- fettuata sulla riva destra dell'Arda nei pressi di Lugagnano, e Piir propriamente nei vasti ammassi di argille azzure che si stendono dall'Arda verso il paese di Vernasca (Foglio I.G.M. n. 72 II N.E.). In particolare le due zone di raccolta, oggetto di questo studio, sono topograficamente racchiuse tm quota 208 (Case Micelli presso la riva destra dell'Arda) e quota 300 circa. Si tratta di un grande ammasso di argille azzurre, situato ad Est ed a Sud-Est della fornace per late- rizi di Lugagnano. Topograficamente sovrapposte a queste argille si trovano sabbie basali del Pliocene inferiore variate con intercalazioni marmose, sab- bie medie e grossolane, marne grigio chiare, sabbie argillo§e, argille marmoso-sabbiose. Da esse non sono stati prelevati che scarsi fram_ menti di molluschi e pertanto queste non fanno oggetto di questo Iavoro. Queste sabbie sooo stratigraficamente sottoposte alle argille prese qui in esame, mentre dal punto di vista topografico esse si e' stcndono fin quasi al paese di Veanasca. -

Previous records of the cockle showed its occurrence in Cilincing, northern coast of Jakarta, Semarang coastal waters of Province Central Java, and Sidoarjo coastal waters located in northern part of Province East Java. The identification of the species was performed by morphological characters and is supported by molecular analysis. This finding represents a new distribution record of the species in Indonesia.
