Maastrichtian and Danian species of Turkostreini (Ostreidae, Crassostreinae) from the Neuquén Basin, Argentina

The record of Turkostrea damboreneae nom. nov. and Cubitostrea, primordialis n. sp. in the Maastrichtian Jagüel and Roca Formations and of Turkostrea argetitina n. sp., in the Danian beds of the Roca Formation reveals that the two genera involved have a history that reaches back into the Late Cretac...

Cubitostrea primordialis n. sp. is closely allied to the previously known Paleocene species common in the region. While Turkostrea appears to have survived the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary, it is not found in Patagonia in rocks younger than Danian. Cubitostrea also survived the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary but, although for diverse reasons absent from Eocene-Oligocene rocks in southern South America, is again common in early and late Miocene sediments exposed at various localities there.
