† Melanopsis incerta Ferussac, 1822 View in CoL
Original source.
Férussac 1819-1851: Mélanopsides fossiles, pl. 1 (1822), fig. 12.
Type horizon.
Sarmatian (sensu lato), middle-late Miocene.
Type locality.
"De Sestos" [Sestos, prov. Çanakkale], Turkey.
Remarks.
The species was also illustrated on pl. 2 of the “Mélanopsides fossiles" in the "Histoire naturelle" ( Férussac 1819-1851) and on pl. 8 in Férussac (1823). However, Férussac obviously mixed up Melanopsis incerta with Melanopsis daudebartii and erroneously illustrated the latter of both species, which was already recognized by Deshayes when preparing the final explanations for the plates of the "Histoire naturelle".
