Crassatella vadosa

Bivalvia - Carditida - Crassatellidae

Taxonomy
Crassatella vadosa was named by Morton (1834) [DISTRIBUTION: Campanian-Maastrichtian; Gulf Coastal Plain. COMMENTS: m. kosnik taxon no: 7083]. Its type specimen is ANSP 19593, a shell, and it is not a trace fossil.

It was recombined as Crassatellites vadosus by Johnson (1905); it was recombined as Crassatellites vadosa by Stephenson (1914); it was recombined as Uddenia vadosus by Stephenson (1941); it was recombined as Crassatella (Landinia) vadosus by Chavan (1951).
