Photographic Atlas of Waccamaw Formation Mollusca Paperback – July 26, 2023

This book provides a photographic guide to over 1100 species of mollusks from the basal Pleistocene Waccamaw Formation of southeastern North Carolina and Northeastern South Carolina. It expands the set of molluscan species well-documented from the formation from ~650 to ~1250, and reveals a much more complex fauna than previously known, including numerous endemics, genera not previously reported from the western north Atlantic, and numerous temporal range extensions. In addition to just over 3000 black-and-white photographs, it contains 16 identification keys, a glossary, an appendix of additional accurate records not figured, and an appendix of taxonomic notes. This contains the highest number of species and photographs of mollusks of any reference on a single formation in the southeastern United States. In addition to its focus, A Photographic Atlas of Waccamaw Formation Mollusca should prove a useful reference for other Neogene and recent faunas of the region. Read more
