Gervillia (Cultriopsis) sp.

Material.— Four specimens ( PZO 12749 ); 3 from Misurina Landslide bulk samples; 1 from Misurina Landslide surface sample; Italy, Carnian, Triassic .

Remarks.—Only fragments were found in the samples from Misurina Landslide. Four of them were single-valved (to account for an estimation of the real number of bivalve individuals, this number was divided by two), two were double-valved. Our specimens were compared with Gervillia Cultriopsis ) species from Bittner (1895) (who spelled this genus Gervilleia throughout his monograph), Zardini (1981) and Hautmann (2001). Because of their fragmented nature, a species identification was not possible. Nevertheless, the characteristic form of the large byssal notch assign the Misurina Landslide specimens to this genus.
