On the Occurrence of Miltha (Eomiltha) Megameris (Dall) in the Dominican Republic

Abstract

In the summer of 1982, while we were working on the Paleontology and Geology of the Cibao Valley area of the northwestern section of the Dominican Republic, Mrs. Vokes collected six paired-valve internal molds of an exceedingly large lucinid bivalve that prove upon examination to be referable to "Lucina" megameris Dall, 1901, described from the late Eocene of Jamaica.
