Material: 1 specimen with both valves (no. 24089- BBU-MPS), one right valve (no. 23503- BBU-MPS) .

Description: The upper valve (LV) is very thin, slight convex but do not preserve any significant morphological characters due to erosion. The right valve (RV) has a conical shape, gently curved, 100 mm in length and a diameter of 47/ 60 mm at 5 mm below to the commissural plane. The outer shell layer of the right valve is thin, 2 to 4 mm in thickness, partly eroded ( Fig. 8 View Fig h-i). In the transversal section trough the RV, the ligamental ridge (L) appears straight, 8 mm in length, with its inner termination truncated ( Fig. 8i View Fig ). The first pillar (P1) is very pinched at the base and have a rounded-elliptic head, 9 mm total length; the second pillar (P2) is more pedunculated having 12

mm in length and an oval head which is curved towards to ligamental ridge ( Fig. 8i View Fig ). The elements of the myocardinal apparatus are also visible: anterior tooth (at) in prolongation of L, posterior tooth (pt) located parallel and not surpassing the tip of ligamental ridge; posterior myophore (pm) rectangular outline, aligned sub-parallel to the first pillar (P1) and projecting interiorly 5 mm over the tip of P1 ( Fig. 8i View Fig ).

Discussion and remarks: From the area of Valea Neagră de Criş, southeastern part of Borod Basin, Lupu & Lupu (1960), Lupu,(1976) described sub-species Vaccinites gosaviensis acicularis ( Lupu & Lupu, 1960) that differs from Vaccinites gosaviensis by its ligamental ridges with sharp inner termination curved anteriorly and more wide and rounded furrows on the shell ornamentations.

Age and distribution: Santonian-early Campanian in Austria ( Steuber, 2001), Croatia ( Polšak and Mamuzic, 1969), Greece (Kollman et al., 1985), Italy ( Sirna, 1990), and Romania (Todiriță- Mihăilescu, 1966; Lupu, 1976); early Maastrichtian in Turkey ( Fenerci, 1999).
